Calming My Mind Takes Consistency

 Work out to calm the mind. Meditate to reset the mind. Write to structure the mind. Create to get peace of mind. Orange Book



Everything starts in the mind and thoughts become things.

When our thoughts, words and actions align there is magic. The magic begins with thinking it. So the question "what are we thinking?" is extremely relevant. If our mind is racing, if it is in control of us, our lives will reflect this. If we are thinking one thing, saying another and acting totally out of sync, it confuses the Universe and confuses You! Keep it consistent.

This is what I have learnt,

1. Meditation helps, it is a process where we can allow the thoughts to pass like waves to the shore. The challenge is when we latch on to a thought, we give it life and as the law works, it shows up in our life as a thing. Practice meditation.

2. Replace destructive thoughts when they come up using affirmations. I started off with cancel cancel, then I moved on to different affirmations to interrupt the obsessive thoughts.

3. Listen to music- create a playlist of music that motivates you, and sing it to the top of your lungs - throw in a little dance too!

4. Write down the thoughts in a journal - get it out of your head. No judgement, No ego.

5. Love yourself through it all.

Peace

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
