These days I’m obsessed with doing it right. Everything that has to do with my well-being comes first and I’m proactive as far as what it takes to have a clear and focused mind, what it means to leave the stress behind and what is needed to forge my way forward.
Walking, working out, positive thinking, breathing for all I’m worth, eating right and meditating all play a big role in my daily existence. It helps in keeping my sanity intact as well!
During one of my searches for doing it better, I came across these three sentences which got me thinking. Do they hold the key to longevity and a better life? I’m not really sure but they seem to hold the promise of directing you in the right direction and to help in dealing with life’s challenges.
Think of one thing you’re grateful for.
According to http://www.helpguide.org, “Gratitude involves showing appreciation for the things in life that are meaningful or valuable to you. Taking a moment to notice and acknowledge the things you’re grateful for each day can brighten your outlook, boost your mood, and help you feel more positive in the face of challenges.”
Here are a few examples:
I am grateful for the brand new day.
I am grateful for the warm bed.
I am grateful for the air that I am breathing.
I am grateful for the people I love and who love me back.
Go ahead. Name one thing you are grateful for.
What are you proud of?
There are so many things but here are a few examples taken from “collective world”
Accomplishing things on your own.
Going for a walk when it’s the last thing you feel like doing.
Not giving up even when you really want to.
Getting up in the morning when you are struggling to find a reason to.
Starting habits to better your life and sticking to them.
Being kind when your heart is hurting.
Letting go of toxic people in your life.
Just a few examples to get you started. It’s your turn now. What are you proud of?
Lastly set an intention.
Where are you going today? Are you headed somewhere positive? Setting an intention helps you to find, create, have and experience positivity and it helps you to regain hope.
Some examples are:
Today, I will be kind to myself.
Today, I won’t beat myself up or others.
Today, I will practice self-care.
Today, I will eat healthy things.
Today, I will love myself.
Just a few examples but you get the drift. Make them positive and use them to change your mindset and yourself for the better. You are the one who writes your story, make it a good one.
HAVE AN AMAZING DAY.
