Why acceptance is helping us to let go of emotional pain.

Happy Easter to everyone! I wish you a beautiful day with much peace and love!

Today I want to talk with you about acceptance. I found an inspiring quote that shows really well how acceptance looks like:

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
― Lao Tzu 

I think acceptance is something many of us struggle with - maybe almost every day. But the truth is that if we don´t let go of things that cause stress and anxiety and aren´t our reality or things that are not in our own power to change, then we gonna hold on to unneccesary emotional pain. You always have the choice between 3 options: changing, leaving or accepting.

So ask yourself from time to time: Which things make me upset or pull me down? Can I change them? If the answer is "no" then don´t complain anymore about them. Let go of them (leave) or accept them exaxctly how they are.

For example: You are complaining about your room mate who doesn´t help you with cleaning the kitchen at all. Either ask for his/her help (trying to create change), search for another room mate (leaving) - in this case this option is a little radical or just accept the fact that he/she doesn´t help you cleaning but instead goes shopping for example.

You see, acceptance can effect many aspects of our daily life. Be aware of every situation that makes you angry, frustrated, desperate or sad and decide for yourself what you want to do with it. 

I wish you a great start into the next week! Stay healthy and safe!💜

Life is short. I mean how often do we really do the things we really want to do? How often do we really say what we feel? How often do we really show our appreciation and love to others?  How often are we thankful? How often do we show our true soul? How often do we want to help? Do something good for others? Be humble, be kind. Life is mystery. Life is constant change. But life is beautiful. Life is deep. Life is a painting of all our experiences, all our memories. So just let every day be a special day - just remember it could be the last. If you live this way you can say in the end - life is a gift. The biggest gift.     © Wind of Happiness

Why self-love is the key to true love.

“You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.” ― C. JoyBell C. This beautiful quotation shows that we need to accept and love ourselves with all imperfections as a result to give value to our life and everything around us, including our loved ones. Only when we know who we truly are, when we forgive ourselves to let go of all negativity and to heal our wounds, when we know our goals and dreams, only then we will be able to invite true love to our life. Many people misunderstand the importance of loving themselves because they think that i

Mindful Sunday #1

 “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh Being mindful helps us to realise for what we can be grateful in our daily life. What are you doing sundays to be mindful? To be grateful? What slows you down?
