Think Positive

"Think Positive, and Positive things will happen" 

The more we 'train' our minds to think and look on Positive things, the more our attitude will change and the more likely things will appear to happen --- for the GOOD!

Instead of "that's just not possible", we start to think "Yeah, I can see that happening" and we will start to become more Positive and Happier in our own lives.

The news is important to read or hear, and we need the Drs and nurses to help us, basically, 'live' and get over illnesses, but even with this, we ourselves can still have that very Positive "Will Do" attitude. I will get over that problem or that illness or 'whatever' and this does rub off on other people also.

Let's help ourselves with a Positive attitude, which does affect our minds and bodies and lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Try to be always Positive!

Look Forward To What's Coming Next!

 "Starting today, I need to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next"

We all have 'history' which we all have to 'live with'. BUT --- we have to ask ourselves: "What have I got today?" and appreciate the good things, the benefits --- a roof over our heads, food in the fridge, electricity for the TV and radio and radiators. Simple things but easy to take for granted.

What about our family? Our friends? Do we work? Are we at school or college?

And what about our 'physical' things? A decent phone? Books to read / a nice TV to watch programmes on? A hobby we love to do every day?

Let's focus on the GOOD things and POSITIVE things and LOOK FORWARD to the FUTURE!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

The Edwardian Era

The Edwardian Era was a time of real change, with new inventions and new ideas, which was the basis of how we (literally) live today. They looked forward to the future, wanting to make it a better and happier time. Click on the link to see what new inventions they had (back then) which we may take for granted but should appreciate today.

Perseverance And Confidence

 "We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves"

Keep Going and Believe in Yourself!

These are actually Marie Curie's words and she is quite right. Marie was an unusual woman at a time when women were expected to get married, have children and live a quiet and obedient life. I don't doubt she was 'obedient' but she 'swam against the norm'. She did get married but 'worked' through her life, becoming the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, blazing the trail for cancer research today.

It makes me think: "What am I doing with my life?" Looking after our loved ones, working every day and generally taking care of ourselves shows that we have Confidence and Perseverance in our own lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It Is Necessary!

 "Make yourself a priority once in a while. It's not selfish! It's necessary"

We are all so busy looking after everyone else that we totally 'forget' about ourselves and what we personally need.

It is commendable when we look after our families, loved ones, our neighbour who needs help with the shopping --- BUT --- we MUST look after ourselves too!!!

A little "me time" won't hurt anybody and will, in fact, help us (for a change). 5 Minutes / 10 minutes / 15 minutes, even 30 minutes in our day to just sit down, relax and breathe, meditate, read that favourite book, listen to music or watch that documentary we missed last week. 

If we are too busy to do this --- we are too busy and will burn out (which no one wants).

So --- let's make sure that we DO give ourselves that "Me-Time" every single day and we will notice how much this will refresh our minds and bodies.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

 Earth Day

We do our best to look after this beautiful planet we live on, it's also time to look after ourselves.

Health Is Wealth

 "It is health that is the real wealth, not pieces of gold and silver"

How true is this saying!!!

Rich or poor --- everyone of us is affected by our health, and everyone of us needs that doctor, hospital or therapy. This is the Real Wealth --- our Health --- our very Lives.

Yes, money 'helps' us through life, in fact we need it to buy food, clothes and sometimes that medication, but it doesn't 'give' us our lives. 

Looking after our bodies and minds is FREE to do --- the quiet five minutes to just sit down and rest, the cool glass of water on a hot day, the walk through the park to give our legs that exercise. We need to 'learn' to look after our minds and bodies thus appreciating our 'wealth'!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

HOPE

 "Hope is being able to see the light despite the darkness"

 (Desmond Tutu)

I don't think anyone of us would argue with Desmond Tutu!

At the moment I think we're all going through something, whether it's financial or health or relationships, and it seems that after Covid --- will it ever end???

We have got to keep that HOPE in our hearts and say: "Yes, life will get better!!!"

We may not be able to change our personal situation but we can help ourselves 'live through it'.

Meditation, gratitude journaling, even therapy or counseling. How about going for a coffee with a good friend and just having a chat. We need to refresh and rebuild our minds and bodies.

So remember --- there is always hope ahead of us, like that bright light that is just in front of us, guiding us out of the darkness.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

I CAN Do It!

A Great One

 "The day is what you make it! So why not make it a great one?"

This is so true.

Our life is in our hands, which means our days are, but we don't think of this, getting carried away with work, school, college, and just everyday life.

Sometimes, we worry too, about the bills, the debts, our health or our loved ones.

If we can just get hold of our minds and try to make the mind as Positive as possible, this will help us to Control our days to make them good and happy days --- or at least Positive ones!

Remember, our life is in our hands which means our days are in our hands. It would be nice to look back on them and smile.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
