Celebrate the day

In our quest for more, we often forget the importance of celebrating the day and just being gretful for what we have. I took my dog out for a walk today, it was amazing, the sun beamed down on my head, the breeze, the air felt lovely. I appreciated, just the beauty, and the simplicity of Earth and nature. Everybody felt so happy, everybody looked so good, and there was such freedom in the air. If you are desperate to be happy, and you think acquiring more stuff will get you there, i'm here to burst the bubble and flood the pipes. You will feel motivated, driven, hungry, ambituos, and as you fight to source yourself to the very top, you will begin to feel prouder. Your ego will expand. The reality is though, those things will not guarantee that you are happy. Happiness begins with now. It's those small steps we take, those actions to create that framework within our lives that keeps us satisfied, fulfilled, joyful from within. Forgive yourself your mistakes in the present and those who can forgive you, let them.Those who cant, well you have to distance yourself from them for now, whilst you resolve whatever question marks lie within. Celebrate the day. Wether it's someone saying thankyou, someone smiling, paying you a compliment, inspiration that comes out of nowhere, celebrate the day, because they may never be another day like it.

Healing and history

Healing. Something that cannot be done in a day, in a week, in a month. Whatever trauma you have been through in your life, as you experience the healing process. As you ask yourself the question that go round and round in your brain like a tumble dryer, what did you learn? What are you learning ? The pain and the anger that comes with trauma, can be so intense, we find ourselves trapped in the dark. If your looking in the dark you need a flashlight or a candle. What brought you hope before, what restored your faith in people and the human race. Wether it's scribbling in your journal, getting counselling, seeking help and asking for assistance, re connecting with the church or contacting your best friend and joining a group. Just remember in all those things there is another that needs to be added to the equation. Time. Healing takes time. If your someone that specialises in beating yourself up, because you just haven't 'gotten over it yet'. Show yourself some mercy. You've probably been through enough.

Victim vanishing act: Focussing beyond sadness

Were allowed to feel weak, vulnerable, fed up, depressed, angry anxious, panicked and them allow yourself to begin to feel empowered again. Focus on a goal you made for yourself and start tackling it. Remind yourself that you are worth more than gold, diamonds, are priceless, and worthy of a royal parade. Okay very über diva. Don't just remind yourself your accomplishing a goal, celebrate the fact that you are doing it. Cultivate a mind of praise rather than fear. You say what you do, and do what you say. Your not a talker, and the world is full of those. Time does not wait for self pity. It's nothing personal life just has too many things to do. Yet when youre in that mode dont beat yourself up even more for feeling down, because guess what?.... You'll feel down for even longer. Remind yourself in life you will have your up moments, and your down moments. It's only human, people wear masks. Sometimes the people we see flashing teeth twenty four seven are not genuinely happy. They are performing for those around them.Yet there are other people who have truly conquered a valuable lesson, if you fight to be happy. Happiness will find you. Whatever we focus on, we attract more of. image by maniowa
