These mindfulness quotes have been chosen because they help us to understand the value of stopping for a moment and becoming aware of our lives. There is something magical about awareness. It is like seeing for the first time. Mindfulness opens the door to this. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. And to see our place within it.
There is definitely something to be said for healthy competition, but I do believe we also need to understand that it’s more than ok to just do your best. There are many people out there that will flare up like a cobra and tell me how ‘if you’re not first, you’re last’. But, this is not intended to disregard healthy competition. At all! This is more about us as individuals and how we can be way too hard on ourselves. And, a little bit about how we should never make people feel small about their efforts. Wink, wink.
There is something deep within us. We call it Trust, Faith, Knowing or Intuition. It doesn’t matter what we call it, we all have it. This knowing comes from our soul, from the deepest most authentic part of us. It is a voice that struggles to be heard above the thoughts in our heads. It is a way of knowing your purpose and place in this life. But, do we listen to this voice? Do we acknowledge this voice, this knowing?
We all know that life comes with highs and lows, but how often do we actually think about the reasons for why that is? How often do we see the value in both the highs and lows? I would like to look at how we can take all the different experiences of our lives and see the value in them. Maybe even find some comfort in them. Instead of always believing that value comes from the highs, let’s look at where we can find value in the lows as well. Better yet, let’s look at where we can find balance between the two.
Nothing in life is achievable if we don’t believe in ourselves, and everything is if we do! If that hasn’t already been said, I’m claiming it! Lol. If you know me you know I love, love, love quotes. I don’t care how cheesy or overdone you think they are; these people have been quoted for a reason! They had the insight and the ability to put it into words that impact us unlike anyone else. And that is why they have been immortalized through these quotes.
When I was growing up, I wasn’t even aware of my ‘energy’. It just wasn’t a thing. People are way more aware of the energy that they are picking up and giving off now days. This is great, except for those times when you don’t know how to protect your energy. So, this blog is going to be all about energy! What it is, how to give it a boost and how to protect it when necessary.
We all go through our internal struggles. Our self-doubt. Questioning everything that we do. Whether we are good enough, pretty enough, brave enough. We are in a constant state of ‘talking ourselves down from a ledge’. Trying, from a place of concern for our own best interest, to keep ourselves ‘safe’. But, we are using the wrong approach altogether. We are using fear tactics instead of positive self talk. It’s become easier to find examples of negative self talk than positive self talk examples. For this reason it is so important that we ask ourselves the question ‘What is Self Talk?’. And, am I using it to empower myself?
Intuition is something I’ve always felt drawn to and guided by in this life. What I am finding is that the more I travel along my own personal growth journey the more I find myself guided, and the more intrigued I am by my own intuition. I believe the reason I am here writing these blogs is because I trusted my intuition. I trusted my quietly persistent voice within. Do you have the same relationship with your intuition? Or, are you still wondering how to identify intuition?
Before I even start this conversation, I have to make reference to one of my favourite quotes. It is ‘be the change you wish to see in the world’ by Mahatma Ghandi. I’m starting with this because I believe if we step inside the change, ie. be the change, we can become a powerful force of our own.
In other words, we need to understand that the change starts with us. If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, you first need to make a decision to grow. And all growth begins with change. The way I see it, change is good for the soul. It livens things up a bit, adds a bit of spice (you can call it fear if you like, but I don’t find that useful, lol). In this blog I’ll be looking at some of the more positive takeaways and trying to put those nasty’s into perspective.
If you’re thinking ‘I already know myself’, I would like to suggest that we can ALL get to know ourselves on a deeper level through the practise of journaling daily. It goes without saying that understanding ourselves on a deeper level gives us the knowledge to live a more well rounded and happy life. Plus, journaling is free, so you have nothing to lose by trying it out.
