Feeling grateful improves your mood, makes it easier to deal with life’s difficulties, and strengthens your health. At the end of each day, it’s a good habit to reflect on five things you’re thankful for that happened that day. Putting them down on paper is even more effective.
Setting Meaningful Goals and Be Present!
Practicing mindfulness entails paying attention to and accepting what is happening in the here and now without judgment.
You accept that thoughts exist without becoming enslaved to them. Keep an eye on them and show genuine interest. Once you start paying attention to your thoughts, you’ll realize that’s all they are: thoughts. You are not like that. Sigh of relief!
Spend some time every day focusing inward. Whenever you find yourself lost in thoughts of the past or the future, remind yourself that these are just thoughts and return your focus to the here and now. One thing I like to do is to use all five of my senses to take in the world around me. I take stock of my surroundings and make a list: 5 things I see, 4 things I hear, 3 things I feel, 2 things I smell, and 1 thing I taste.
This is something I frequently do while out for a stroll in the woods.
First and Foremost Living Authentically and Unapologetically!
Living authentically and unapologetically is the key to happiness and fulfilment. It’s a declaration of self acceptance, unfettered by social norms and others’ opinions. This commitment to authenticity illuminates the path to genuine contentment and joy in a world of comparison and conformity.
Living authentic being true to your values and wishes. It’s about revealing your true self. By following this path, you don’t have to fit a mould.
Instead, you embrace your flaws, strengths, and growth areas.
Silencing the inner critic that whispers doubts and dampens your spirit. Instead, you advocate for yourself, realizing your worth isn’t dependent on others. Living without apologies lets you follow your passions and make soulful choices.
Authenticity requires courage to break free from expectations and face vulnerabilities. Though difficult, it transforms.
Drop the pretence, make room for real connections and relationships that value you. Living authentically and unapologetically is a journey.
As you uncover new parts of yourself and accept your identity, it’s a journey. This commitment creates a true, meaningful, and unique life. Remember that authenticity is a gift—to yourself and to the world—as you embark on this quest.
Enjoy its endless fulfilment.
Take care of yourself as you would to a close companion. It’s easy to be unkind to ourselves when we’re preoccupied with our inner critic.
Instead, act like a good friend would by being considerate, encouraging, and supportive. If you find yourself being critical of yourself, stop for a moment and give yourself some compassion. It’s effective!
