Life Itself Is Quite Interesting

 Life Itself Is Quite Interesting

“The past is where you learned the lesson. The future is where you apply the lesson”

And it is Today that we put the two together.

We can Learn a great deal from our past, if we would only “See” our mistakes, accept them and ‘let go’ of them, leaving them in the past.

Don’t forget to celebrate your successes of the past too.

Remember how Proud you felt of yourself and ‘use’ that success to Help you in the Future.

By using the Lessons from the past, we can ‘Plan’ for the Future, having more Control of our Lives.

From this kind of Personal Experience, we can also Help others.

All of this will Help us in our personal relationships, especially with our loved ones, because we become more Understanding.

We are continuously Learning throughout our whole Lives, which can, in fact, make Life Itself quite Interesting.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Today And Tomorrow Are In Your Hands

 Today And Tomorrow Are In Your Hands

“Remember, you can’t reach what’s in front of you until you let go of what’s behind you”

Why is it so hard for us to let go of the past?

Memories, whether good or bad, are constantly ‘popping’ up in our minds.

We hear a particular song or smell an old favourite perfume, and instantly we see pictures in our mind’s eye, whether good or bad, ‘they’ are there.

And sometimes, we are just too frightened of the ‘unknown’, and the future can be the ‘unknown’.

However, when we start to take Control of our Lives, we are starting to Control our Futures too.

Whilst we cannot change the ‘past’, we can Learn from ‘it’, and like any lesson, once learnt, we let go of that subject and move on to the Future.

Physically, if we tried to hold onto something behind us, it could drag us backwards and/or we’d never move, which is terribly bad for us physically.

Mentally — it is just the same!

In order to make room for New, Positive and Happy memories, we need to let go and stop thinking about the old, negative and sad ones.

Focus your attention on Today and Tomorrow and Plan for the Future, and you’ll soon find that you have let go of the past, and that you are too busy thinking about something Positive.

Gain Control of your Life, Today and Tomorrow.

See, Read And Encourage Every Day

 See, Read and Encourage Every Day

“Every time you subtract negative from your life, you make room for more positive”

Doesn’t it feel good to, every now and then, have a ‘jolly good clear out’?

We pick up things that give us good or bad memories, and we ‘choose’ what to keep and what to throw out.

And when we’ve finished, there is always twice the room space left, leaving room for the next few months of memories.

This is a very Positive and Physical ‘job’.

Our Minds are no different!

Every now and then, it is a good idea to do the very same ‘clear out’ with our Minds and Thoughts.

Take time out to give yourself some “me-time” to just sit down and ‘clear your head’.

Think about — what you are thinking about.

Is it Positive?

Is it negative?

Are you Happy when you think?

Or do you feel sad when you think?

Getting rid of the negative means that you have room for the Positive.

Like we rearrange our room, so we need to ‘re-arrange’ our thinking and our thoughts.

And like we put that lovely picture up on the wall, the one that was hidden away in the box, so we can ‘post-it-note’ that very Strong Affirmation to See, Read and Encourage every day.

“I Believe In Myself!”

Balance Is Needed In Both

 Balance Is Needed In Both

“Your body becomes what you consume. Your mind becomes what you consume. Be careful with how you feed both”

We hear a lot about the connection of what we physically eat and how the food we ‘consume’ affects our physical bodies.

And aren’t we always trying ‘to eat the right things’?

It is interesting that there is a connection between food and the mind.

The types of food that we eat and how much we eat, does actually affect our minds and our thinking.

For example, we know that caffeine can keep us awake but too much of it puts us ‘on a high’.

Sugar is important for our bodies, but too much of it affects our weight, which can (in turn) affect how we ‘feel’ about ourselves, thus again, affecting our minds.

Balance is Essential in these two areas for us to keep a Healthy and Happy Life.

There is so much advice online about healthy diets, advice from doctors, for us to look up and ‘follow’.

But what about our ‘Mental Diet’?

Fortunately, society in general is becoming more aware of the effects — good and bad — of the ‘things’ we take into our minds, and again, there is a great deal we can find out about online.

The emphasis is on “us” to “look after ourselves”.

Heal Yourself Emotionally

 Heal Yourself Emotionally

“Don’t forget you’re human. It’s okay to have a meltdown, just don’t unpack and live there. Cry it out and then refocus on where you are headed”

It is here that our Emotional Health comes to the fore.

We ARE human.

We do make mistakes.

And we do need to ‘let our feelings out’.

We live in a society which expects us to be “perfect” all of the time, and that it’s just not the ‘done thing’ to show our emotions.

Luckily, society is changing as we become more aware of our Mental Health. 

It is Important to allow ourselves to ‘get rid of’ the negative feelings and thoughts to make room for the Positive and Determined thoughts and feelings.

We need to Learn “how” to get rid of this ‘poison’ in a Controlled and Constructive way.

Basically, we want to let our feelings out in a “Safe” way.

One Controlled way is to sit down and write or draw it ‘all’ out, and if you start to cry at the same time, allow the tears to weep.

Give yourself permission to heal and to get better Mentally and Emotionally.

Show Compassion towards yourself this time.

Once you’ve done this and start to feel better, aim your thoughts towards Positive and Stronger thoughts.

Start to use your “Positive Support System” straight away.

And then be more Determined than ever to succeed.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Positive, Confident and Happy

“The future depends on what you do today”

The choices that we make today will affect our futures.

The person we choose to marry and live with will affect theirs and our futures.

The way we handle our finances today will determine whether we will live in debt or debt-free.

Whether we plan our lives or not will show how much Control we have over our own Lives.

When we are at school, we are encouraged to choose subjects to study which will affect our futures.

This is a Good way of Learning how to Plan and of gaining Control of our Lives from a young age.

This could help us to avoid many of the problems that ‘youths’ face (and fall into) when they are not ‘looking ahead’.

The type of ‘friends’ we hangout with will affect our futures.

How?

Well, is he or she always negative which will make us think negative thoughts today and tomorrow?

Or is he or she Positive, Confident and Happy which will keep that Smile on our faces today and tomorrow?

There are a lot of things that can and will affect our future lives that we need to be constantly ‘building up our minds’ so that we will make the kind of choices that will have a Positive and Healthy affect on our Futures.

I Want A Positive Lifestyle

 I Want A Positive Lifestyle

“I changed my thinking. It changed my life”

To have a different life, we personally need “to so” something different.

Everything we do starts in the mind.

Maybe we need to change our way of thinking, especially if we want to Improve our Lives through study.

Wanting a new way of Life entails possibly changing our Lifestyle, our jobs, and even our friends.

But if we want a Positive Life, we will have to make these changes.Studying at college or University to get the qualifications needed for a job which will be fulfilling to us, as well as financially ‘secure’, requires a whole new set way of thinking.

And if we don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past, we will need to ‘go down a different path’, both mentally and physically.

Thinking about the Benefits of a Better way if Living can only Encourage us to ‘move forward’ in a Positive and Determined way.

And remember to Trust in Yourself because you are Stronger than you realize.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
