Keep The Faith

 "You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen"

Life does have its own way of working things out.

We worry so much and like to be in full control of everything, but, sometimes, life it just out of our control. This is when we have to 'keep the faith' and trust that life 'knows' what it is doing. 

Very often, things work out 'better' than if we ourselves had done things.

Going to a new job / going to a new school or college / going to live in a new house and / or with a new partner.

Worry   Worry   Worry.

STOP WORRYING! ! !

Trust in your own faith in life itself and your own 'choices' and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Life Is Good After All !

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

SSHH Quieten Down

 "The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still"

Sit down, in a quiet room, and just listen. What do you hear? Your breathing maybe. The birds singing outdoors possibly. Can you hear your mind?

We live such busy lives that it is easy to forget that our minds have something to say. How can we solve a problem, think it through, if we don't listen to our minds. This means taking time out of our day for ourselves and being quiet for a little while.

The 'problem' may seem a big one that needs thinking through, something you cannot do on the train on the way to work. You must sit quietly, taking the time to work out the best solution to the 'problem' --- and the best solution for YOU.

The quiet time will also give your mind the Peace it needs after a very busy and hard and noisy day. 

This is good for your mental health too.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It Truly Will

 "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise"

When we are going through a difficult time in our lives, it is easy to forget that life changes and things usually get better.

All we see is the darkness when we're in that 'situation' and it is hard to think that it is only temporary and that things will get better.

But we must train our minds to try to think that very thought. As sure as the sun will rise every single day, so that darkness we've been in will go, disappear, and hopefully soon forgotten.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

How Does The Garden Grow ?

 "We are all different flowers, but together we create a beautiful garden"

Every single person on earth is different and special in their own way.

Whether it is the colour of our skin, our accent, our upbringing or our way of life --- we have the right to live here in Peace.

The 'variety' of people does indeed make this Earth Unique and Beautiful, just like that garden which is full of flowers.

Think of the animals, the variety, the colours, the different 'personalities' and yet they do seem to be able to live together. Maybe we should learn from them.

What We Can Learn From Animals

Find The Opportunity

 "A positive mind finds opportunity in everything. A negative mind finds fault in everything"

This is Positivity as its best!

Whatever we're facing in life --- good or bad --- there is an opportunity to make life even better and happier.

This could be a 'training' of the mind, to look for the opportunity instead of the fault. To 'see' something coming up in life and to think of the Positive side to it.

A new job, a new school or college, even a new partner. Maybe a new home. Even new friends.

We must think of the Positive and not the negative.

This is also very good for our mental health, which is so Important.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Kindness

 "A little more kindness. A little less judgement"

Maybe it's because we are used to our old teachers 'critising' our schoolwork that we are used to being 'judged' on all levels. How does it make your feel though?

We need to show ourselves and others more kindness today inorder to see that smile and hear that laugh.

Say "Well Done You" more than "You can do better".

And don't just say but DO!

Help the old neighbour next door who can't walk too well, make that cup of coffee for your work colleague who's just done a 12 hour shift, or just simply cuddle your son and daughter and say: "well done for getting through school today".

Don't forget yourself though. Be Kind to yourself too, even if it is just sitting down for 10 minutes with a drink and reading your favourite book, because this is also healing.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

"Stay Strong!"

 "When life gives you a hundred reasons to break down and cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile and laugh. Stay Strong!"

To be Positive is the reality today.

We live in a world which is going through a very difficult time at the moment. The news is constantly telling us what is happening, not just in our own country, but worldwide also, and the news is not always very good to listen to.

But --- we need to know what is going on around us.

So just when we are feeling sad because another war has started or another pandemic is coming towards us or we're all caught up in the cost of living crisis --- Stand Your Ground!

Don't let the 'world' around you destroy the peace within you, draining you of any hope.

There Is Hope! It is in OUR Hands!

There is 'only' a hundred reasons to break down and cry --- but There Is a thousand reasons to smile, laugh and be happy.

One of them is this beautiful planet we live on --- The Earth. It's Natural Beauty gives us Strength every single day and it is up to us to stand still and look at that Strength, drawing it into us and building ourselves up both mentally and physically.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
