Gratitude Journaling
Gratitude journaling has been linked to increased life satisfaction and overall happiness. Regularly engaging in this practice
rewires our brains, creating new neural pathways associated with
positive thinking and contentment. As we become more aware
of the abundance in our lives, we naturally experience a greater sense of satisfaction and joy. By shifting our focus from what
is lacking to what we are grateful for, we invite positivity, resilience, and increased well-being into our life.
Forgivness
We need to forgive all who have done
us any harm in anyway. We do not do this for the person, we do
this for ourselves. We shift our perception. We realise that forgiveness helps us. Forgiveness releases blockages in us. Forgiveness
is to completely let go of something. To completely abandon it.
Dreams
Dreams
express what our subconscious is working on while we are sleeping. Throughout history many great ideas and discoveries have
came about as a result of a dream
One small habit
Start small and simple, begin with introducing one new habit to
begin with, such as journaling, commit to just five minutes a day.
Add a habit onto something you already do each day, for example; after I have written in my journal I will do my meditation.
Be consistent, if you feel your new good habits slacking, just be
aware and get them back on track again.
