It doesn’t matter how you find laughter, what’s important is that you find it. Not only do smiling and laughing release endorphins that heighten your mood, they also teach you how to enjoy your life. http://www.positivelypositive.com/2013/05/10/from-white-knuckling-it-to-letting-go-my-5-tips-for-alleviating-anxiety/
5 Steps to Making Your Own Rules
1. Get connected. Sit and meditate. Pause, get comfortable, and listen to yourself regularly to cultivate intuition. Your highest purpose is resting right inside of you. Tap in, have a listen, and allow your intuition to expand.
2. Shed what’s not serving you. Make a list. What are the actions that you do and the rules that you follow that aren’t serving you? It can be as simple as eating too much sugar, or participating in a toxic relationship. It’s important to face what’s not serving you before you can write any new rules.
3. Make space. Without space, there is no room for inspiration, creativity, or anything new. De-clutter your living space. Clean up your social and work calendar.
4. Allow creativity. Find something you like that is creative and fun. It can be anything: knitting, cooking, yoga, or hiking. Let it be an activity that fuels you mentally, physically, and spiritually.
5. Make new rules. Formulate your new rules that serve you and your highest purpose. It can be as simple, as I’m going to prepare my own meals 3 days a week, or I’m signing up for that yoga membership I keep putting off, or I’m going to take steps toward the career of my dreams. Set your rules in your mind, write them down, and allow the possibility that you may start the process again in a week, a month, or a year.
You’ll have to watch the video to find out the ONE rule everyone should break!
“Remembering that you are going to die one day is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. Follow your heart.” ― Steve Jobs
Naturally, there is a time for planning and thinking, but there is also a time for action. Many people who are seeking or rethinking their life purpose stay stuck in the introspection. Maybe they do this to avoid taking risks, for fear of leaving their comfort zone, to avoid disapproval, or any other fear. And in doing so, they remain stuck in a rut.
Sometimes, the best way to find a purpose in life is to go out there and take action, even if we don’t know what we are doing!
The answer to finding a wonderful, loving connection with someone else is having that union with yourself first. The greatest relationship you have, from the beginning of your life until the end, should be with YOU, you are the starting point.. you have to be clear and honest to yourself first, anything else will follow and fall into place! Never lose confidence in yourself, never lose hope, never give up.. no matter what!
There isn’t much in this world that is impossible. As history has proven time and time again, the dream of yesterday is often is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.
Superb read!! You know when I think about things, I have never failed — at anything. Really.
I know that sounds like a bold and arrogant statement, but let me explain. I have never failed at anything because I don’t believe in failure. THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
That’s right, it doesn’t exist. Yet SO many people are crippled by the fear of it! Have you ever hesitated to try new things because you’re scared you won’t be good enough? Does perfectionism cause you to get in your own way? Do you self-sabotage because you feel like you’re inadequate?
What if I told you all it takes is a simple shift in mindset to change from feeling FEAR to feeling FREE?
Curious?
First, let’s breakdown fear. I am sure you have heard this before.
Fear = F alse / E vidence / A ppearing / R eal
You already know how fear can paralyze you personally and professionally, rob you of your joy, and keep you from going after your dreams. But did you know it can also make you sick? People, prejudice, gossip, religion.. Let go!! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, FREE YOURSELF.. IT’S ONLY IN YOUR MIND!!
Bonjour All!☕ Continue to move forward in a positive light! Stay away from the negativity of others! And make it a great week! Remember, Life is Sweet (with or without you), just try to get with it ;))
“Rise above the pain! You are bigger than your circumstances or your life situation. Your life is not defined by your relationship status, your current job, your bank account, or anything that you have or have not done in the past. Don’t listen to any person or automatic negative thoughts that may have conditioned you to think of yourself or your life as a failure.
Don’t ever choose a permanent solution for a temporary problem. You have people who need you and who are counting on you. There is always another day and another way. Rise above the pain, and know that deep inside of you there is another person waiting to break through. You have the ability to rebuild, regroup, recover, and revive!! Breathe life into your dream. Know that you can live a meaningful and purposeful life. You are an unrepeatable miracle, and your dream can live… despite what you feel and in spite of what you’re going through right now! You have something special…you have GREATNESS within you!” ― Les Brown — in Los Angeles.
Good Morning ☼!! The World goes up and goes down. The sunshine follows the rain and yesterday’s sneer and frown can never come over again. Friday is here, the Sun is laughing, and the Birds are singing.. Yep, Life is Sweet!
