Wellness
You know the feeling, when you are standing at the top of a
hill with the wind in your face and your arms open wide…that feeling of being truly
alive! It may be pelting rain across your back or the sun may be beaming down
on your cheeks… but you are part of it all in that moment, part of the miracle of
life.
It’s easy to loose that feeling in the day to day rush of
life; our routines, lifestyles and commitments can all get in the way and sap
our spirit, reducing us to a bubble of every day monotony.
Only if you let it.
Fight back and take
control of those moments, take a step back and ask yourself ‘why?’ and ‘how?’
Why do I do things the way I do, and if it’s not working for
me how can I make it better? Do you do things because that’s simply what you’ve always
done, and even when faced with evidence to the contrary do you continue along
the path you know because it’s safe and comfortable?
If you feel you want to change, you need to ask ‘how’? Put
together a strategy and take small steps towards your goal. Become a doer and
not a talker… take it to the next level!
Wellbeing for me is a balance… allowing yourself to be the
best you possibly can whilst not compromising on who you are deep inside. This
is true happiness.
Changing habits are
not easy at first. It’s human nature to want to settle and be comfortable….but
it is only through challenging yourself and your perceptions that you can grow
into the person you have the potential to become.
Instead of running from fear, turn around and face it.
I am just starting out on this journey of self-discovery. These
are the changes that I have brought about in my own life, I still have my off
days when I fall off the waggon of course and I accept that that will always happen at times, but I encourage you to question yours,
tackle those things that frustrate you, question your assumptions and dig deep to become the person you know you
can be and experience true happiness.
Every Sunday I post a ‘Silent Sunday’ image that simply sums up a thought, a feeling or the memory of an
experience… there are no words so that you can allow free reign to your
interpretations and take moment aside to think.
Every Monday I follow on with a ‘Mantra for Monday’ to give a little boost to a Monday morning.
Sometime we all need a few words of encouragement to keep us going.
