Mind, Body And Soul

 Mind, Body And Soul

"Nothing soothes the soul like a walk on the beach"

How true this is!

When we've had a very busy time, maybe even a 'trying' time and we feel exhausted, the soothing sound of the waves on the sand, and the cool, soft feel of the sand under our feet — is just what the Doctor ordered!

We can become very troubled in our lives, and mentally, we just cannot think anymore.

Sitting on the sand, watching the waves, calms the mind (better than any alcoholic drink or 'drugs').

A walk along the beach is good exercise and 'quiet'.

Yes, it is soothing for the mind, body and soul.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Keep Learning

 Keep Learning

"Miracles happen => you are one of them!"

In a world as 'sensible' as this one, it is hard to believe in miracles. 

Everything is 'explained' away as science or 'something else', and there is not any mystery in life anymore. 

What we tend to forget (in our busy lives) is that we will never come to know everything about this Earth, the very planet we live on.

Everyday, new species of animals and insects and marine life are being discovered, not forgetting the new plant life and flowers.

So, what about us?

When a baby is born, it is a miracle. 

Every day, the parents are learning new things about their child, and then the child starts to learn about themselves, even when they become adults.

We were once that child, and even as adults, we are still learning about ourselves. 

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Only YOU Have The Right

 Only YOU Have The Right

"You are the artist of your life. Don't give the paintbrush to anyone else ".

Who loves to paint and colour?

Don't you feel in charge or Control, and when you see the finished picture, you feel as if you have accomplished something good.

There is no difference with our lives!

We are the only ones who have the right to make any changes in our lives.

Never give that power to anyone else!

Only we can paint the picture of our own lives, so let's make the picture as Beautiful and Happy and Strong as we can.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Open Your Eyes

 Open Your Eyes

"Everything is beauty, but not everyone can see it"

We are so busy in our everyday lives that we do not always 'think' about the beautiful life which surrounds us.

This is where "me-time" comes into play!

For just 10 minutes every day: STOP, SIT down and Quieten the mind.

And then look around you and you will see the very real Beauty that surrounds you.

Some of us love fresh flowers in a vase on a table (fond memories of mother), or there is a very well-loved pet that can be cuddled and loved.

What about the many wildlife documentaries that are available to watch (even on YouTube)? Watching the dolphins 'dance' in the Oceans just 'calms the mind'.

We need to open our eyes and really 'see' the Beauty in our lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Be So Positive

 Be So Positive 

"Be so Positive that negative people don't want to be near you"

A magnet attracts metal.

A Positive person will always attract like-minded people. 

The more we 'want' to be Positive and Encouraging, not just for ourselves, but for others too — the more other Positive people will 'want' to be our friends. 

In this way, we also avoid or 'fight' the depression which can come from being with negative people. 

Who would you rather be with =>

Someone who is moaning and negative, and leaves you feeling 'bad'?

Someone who is happy and who is always saying encouraging things, and who leaves you feeling 'good'?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Beautiful

 Beautiful 

"Look at the beauty in your life and be happy"

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

Ask yourself: "what is beautiful in my life?" and then look in the mirror!

Every single person on this Earth is Beautiful.

The Earth Itself is beautiful and we come from this Earth. 

The rainbow after the storm is full of colour and every one of us see the same beautiful rainbow. 

I love cats and think they are one of the most beautiful animals on this Earth. What is your favourite animal?

The birds are so tiny and yet so colourful, and they have such beautiful little voices, and like the rainbow, we can all see them and hear them.

When a mother holds her baby, she sees the most beautiful 'creation' on Earth.

Beauty is all around us — we just need to Stop and See it.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

An Encouraging Smile

 An Encouraging Smile 

"One day, you'll be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one"

Every single day, we are always in contact with someone, either family, friend or stranger.

It's who we are as humans.

How will they 'see' us?

What will they 'think' of us?

None of us 'know' what the other is going through, but we are all going through something, so an encouraging word or a warm smile goes a long way.

Even if we ourselves are not feeling particularly good, we can make that effort to 'leave a good word' or smile an encouraging smile.

And this also helps us and not just the other person.

They feel good (even better) and we feel good.

Then, we all have good memories. 

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
