It's In The Routine

 It's In The Routine 

"I choose peace over worry and calm over chaos"

A Peaceful and Calm Mind leads to a Healthy and Strong Body.

The question is:

Do you want a Positive and Happy Life?

Or

Do you want a negative and chaotic Life?

One will Benefit You!

The other will tear You down!

Very often, our choices in Life are affected by our past and what we Learnt from past experiences. 

Sometimes, we have to make 'bold' choices in order to change our Lives for the Better.

One way to 'choose' a Quiet Life is by Creating a routine that includes Meditation and Gratitude Journalling. 

And stay with this New Routine!

Like we try to eat and drink in a Healthy way, so we also need to do the same for our Mental Health. 

Reading, Repeating and Writing Positive Affirmations in our daily routine hows that we have Chosen Peace and Calmness to be in our Lives.

Being with 'like-minded' friends will Help to keep our Minds 'On Top'.

And then when chaos does come into our Lives, we will have the 'Skills' to Stay Calm and at Peace, especially within Ourselves. 

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

"I CAN Do This!"

 “I CAN Do This!”

“Each day, I grow stronger and more resilient”

This is a very Strong and Positive Affirmation.

The more we say it to ourselves, the more we will Believe it of Ourselves!

The word “Resilient” means: “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change”.

We have all had to do this through our Lives, we just don’t always realize how “Strong” we really are.

Those who are fighting depression and who are coming through it, are Happy to realize: “I never knew how Strong I am until today!”

A Positive Mindset will Build up this Resilience inside of us, both Mentally and Emotionally.

Take the time to reflect upon what YOU have Achieved, and what YOU have overcome, and this will Build YOU up Mentally.

And our Mental Health is one of the most “Important” aspects of our Lives.

Every time we are faced with a challenging ‘problem’, it is a Good idea to look at it as a Learning experience, even if all we Learn is to ‘avoid’ that problem again!

A Daily Routine of saying and writing down Positive Affirmations, (like this one), will make our Minds Strong and Resilient.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You've Got This!

 You’ve Got This

“Never quit. If you stumble, get back up. What happened yesterday no longer matters. Today is another day to move on and start over”

When we physically fall over, we get up and (quickly) move on.

We don’t just sit there, on the floor, and ‘quit’ walking.

Providing we haven’t ‘damaged’ ourselves, we (usually) feel ‘stupid’ because we were not looking where we were going, and we Physically carry on.

It is ‘rare’ that someone else would actually trip us up (on purpose).

Mentally, this ‘scenario’ is exactly the same.

When we ‘prepare and plan’ our day, we can (usually) stay “Balanced” Mentally, which will actually also Help us Physically.

Again, it is ‘rare’ for a person to deliberately ‘mess with our heads’.

Most people, whether friends or strangers, only want the Best for each other.

What happened in the past, we Learn from.

What happens in the Future, we can Plan for.

What happens Today, is our Choice.

Positive or negative?

However, if we do need Help Mentally — the Help and Support is there — Please Trust It.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

It's In Our Nature

It's In Our Nature

"When you get tired, learn to rest, not quit"

Have a break.

Sit down.

Have a drink.

And spend some time looking after yourself for a change.

And then start again.

When we push and push and push ourselves, we are damaging not just our Physical bodies, but our Mental Health too.

And when we 'quit', the feeling of being a failure 'closes' our minds down and depression can creep in, which we must avoid as best we can.

Sometimes, when things are getting tough, it I often 'Life's' way of telling us to stop and rest, and whilst we are resting, the 'answer' will come to us.

We go to bed and sleep every night because it is human nature to do this, and it is Healthier to Rest our Bodies and Minds.

It is exactly the same when we are in the middle of a 'project'.

Don't Quit!

Rest!

And when we have 'completed' the project, no matter how long it takes, we will look back and be glad that we didn't quit but rested along the way.

The sense of Achievement is so Good for our Mental Health.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

The Tulip And The Rose

 The Tulip and the Rose

"My life isn't perfect but I am thankful for what I have"

What is "Perfection"?

It Is many different things to many different people.

In my opinion, if you are Grateful for what you have in your Life and Happy, you are Living the Perfect Life.

Society tries to 'squeeze' us  into what 'It' calls a 'perfect' Life, which can put pressure and stress onto people, and it's not necessarily 'how' some Want to Live Their Lives.

When we make it a part of our daily routine to take a few minutes to think about what we do have, and to be Thankful for this, all of a sudden our Lives Look Perfect.

Finding Joy in what we have in our Lives, and who we have, and 'Seeing' the Beauty that is really there, Helps us to Embrace our Lives for what they really are.

The trap comes when we start to 'compare' ourselves with others and with their Lives.

A rose and a tulip grow in the same garden, but Both are Beautiful!

We Learn from 'imperfections' as we go through Life, but the most Important thing is to "Accept" Ourselves for who we really are.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Long Before

 Long Before

“Sometimes you just need to disconnect and enjoy your own company”

We Live in a world which is now completely ‘connected’.

Instead of going out to the shop for a newspaper, we just turn on the TV and watch the news on the screen in front of us.

Our Lives are constantly ‘connected’ by the internet.

This is a Good thing because it keeps us safe and in contact with the world we Live in.

But sometimes, it can all get ‘too noisy’ and ‘too much’.

Turn it off and sit quietly and ‘listen’ to the ‘silence’.

Our Mental Health needs to come before anything because our Minds ‘Control’ us, Emotionally and Physically.

We want Good Health and looking after our Minds will do this.

It’s human nature to need Peace and Quiet and need to ‘Listen’ to this.

5 or 10 minutes, every single day, of Quiet Meditation will Help us to Balance our Minds, setting us up for a Positive and Strong day.

And don’t be afraid to have your own company, to be alone — you are looking after your Mental Health.

A walk in the park, during the day, can do ‘Wonders’ for our souls.

The fresh air is Healthy and the sounds and sights are Natural.

Afterall, Nature came a long time before the internet did.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

You WON!

Balance Is Vital

 Balance Is Vital

“Life is better when you cry a little, laugh a little, and are thankful for everything you’ve got”

When we cry, we are letting go of negative feelings, releasing them, and making room for Positive and Happy ones.

When we Laugh, we are building up those Happy feelings and helping our Mental Health.

When we Appreciate our Lives today, we are showing Faith in Ourselves.

Being Grateful for everything we have in Life increases our Happiness and Helps us to try to ‘see the Good’ in every situation.

And ‘see the Good’ in others too.

How can we Help ourselves to be Grateful and Happy with what we have in Life?

Daily Meditation and Gratitude journaling keeps this at the forefront of our Minds.

And when we write this down in our own personal journals, we can re-read and remind ourselves what we should be Grateful for, in our Lives, every day.

This will Help us to have Harmony in our Lives.

And this will Help us to Appreciate our Lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
