Hello everyone,  today I went for a walk and I realized how important it is to let go of everything that doesn`t serve you anymore inorder to enter the new year with peace in your hearts, with courage and love. "If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello." —​ ​Paulo Coehlo​ I wish you all a beautiful start into the New Year 2023!

Reminder #1: Don`t let yourself hold back from expectations of others.

Image
Hello everybody, today I just want to remember myself and you that we should not let other people an their opinions determine our lifes. Why are we always listening to others what´s good for ourselves? Why are other opinions than ours so important to us? I mean, why do we make ourselves unhappy instead just following our inner voice, follow our dreams? Or at least try to and when we fail, we stand back up again and look for another way to get through. I wish you courage! Be patient with yourselves - and loving! 💗   © Wind of Happiness

  “Happiness is a choice – not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you” ― Ralph Marston        © Wind of Happiness

True beauty comes from the inside.

True beauty comes from the inside, radiates from the soul. A smile, a nice action, a listening ear - all this is real beauty. “Beauty is not who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul like you.” ― Shannon L. Alder  Let us all be beautiful people. 💛    © Wind of Happiness

Why telling the truth liberates yourself. 5 reasons

Image
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. Today I want to speak with you about a very important but difficult and painful topic: Telling the truth. It doesn`t matter if it is in your job or in your relationships - telling the truth is challenging but makes us grow in our confidence and life experience. “The truth hurts. And much more than love, kindness, or any of these warm feelings you’re so fond of, truth is beauty, and the thing that will set you free.” ― A.D. Aliwat  1. Telling the truth makes you stronger and loyal to yourself. 2. The truth is not always kind but it will make you feel liberated - even if you fail. 3. Only when telling the truth to others they can try to understand your feelings and opinions. 4. With telling the truth you set boundaries and limits to yourself and others. This leads to self-care and self-love. 5. All your burdens and most of your worries will disappear because you release them out of your mind. This makes space for new ideas and wi...

How to keep yourself motivated. 5 tips

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well! Today I want to speak with you about motivation. I think it is a very big factor in our life in order to live a happy and fulfilled life! So let us start: 1. Write down your goals! But first ask yourself if those goals are made by yourself or by society. Only stick with the goals that are truly coming from yourself and give all your commitment to them. Afterwards you should decide which ones are the most important and categorize them as short- or long-term oriented. 2. Start small! Write down which steps are needed to reach your next goal and what you need to do. Celebrate small success! 3. Write down motivating quotes and hang them up on your fridge, desk, laptop etc. Read them in moments when you are not motivated, when you are doubting or even when you failed. Always remember that failure and regress have the potential to give you more persistence in order to keep fighting for your goals. 4. Focus on your goals but do not forget to enjoy l...

Life is a precious gift - Monday motivation #1

Image
Life can be hard sometimes. There are happy times - times in which we are flying and in an other very moment there can be dark times - times in which we feel like we are falling. But we should always remember: Life is precious - in every second. It is a gift we are receiving and though we can form and create that gift in a way we want it to be. We can take chances, follow our dreams - we can be honest, kind and love ourselves and others exactly the way they are.  We can be grateful for every day we are living, breathing. Because maybe in this very moment another life is coming to an end. Enjoy life! Show your true YOU to everyone and do not wait for the perfect moment - because the perfect moment is right now!   © Wind of Happiness   

Step out of your comfort zone & overcome your fears.

Image
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well! Today I want to speak about a very important topic: Overcoming fears and stepping out of our comfort zone. There are some beautiful quotes that I want to share with you to motivate you and to show you, that sometimes it is not easy at all to leave our comfort zone but that it is definitely always worth it in terms to grow, to get stronger inside and crucial to reach your goals. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain “The comfort zone is a psychological state in which one feels familiar, safe, at ease, and secure. You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.” – Roy T. Bennett “Life begins at the end of your Comfort Zone. So if you’re feeling uncomfortable ri...

Why you should not compare yourself to others.

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Today I want to speak with you about comparison. To compare ourselves to others is one of the most common reasons why we are unsatiesfied with ourselves and our life. We tend to seek for things in the outside that seem to make others happy. But the journey to true joy & happiness is right inside of you. You need to know that: " There will never be anyone exactly like you. You were given special gifts and talents to share with the world, and even though everybody has special gifts and talents, nobody will use theirs quite the same way you do. " – Jen Sincero The truth is that no matter what we will achieve what others are achieving we will never be happy because we need to understand and learn to accept our own needs and especially we need to see our own gifts & talents and use them to accomplish our dreams & goals. So use them...

Why setting boundaries is crucial to live the life you wish for. 2 important reasons

Image
Hello everyone! Today I want to speak with you about setting boundaries and present you two reasons why this is very important to be able to live a happy and fulfilled life. 1. If you say "yes" to everything, to every task someone gives to you at work or in your relationship etc., you will end up overloading yourself with much more work, stress and negative emotions due to the suppressing of your real emotions. If you hold them too long suppressed, it can cause fights, unhealthy relationships and emotional pain. Only if you communicate what you really feel and what you want to do or not, people get to know your emotions and can understand you. Perhaps they were not aware of that before. 2. People gonna take it for granted that you always say "yes". So they will probably treat you with less respect. Step up for yourself and say "no" if you feel like you do not want to do something or if someone does somethings you do not like. With setting boundaries you wi...

Why you should not worry anymore what others might think about you.

Image
Hello everyone! I think everyone worries from time to time about what others might think about ourselves. I know it sounds easier than it actually is - but if you keep worrying, you will not be able to enjoy life.   “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”—Lao Tzu As long as we want to please others we cannot be truly ourselves. We will always be stuck in our fears, we will not follow the true dreams of our own heart. Free yourself! Let go! Be kind to yourself, be the person you want to be. Because you are the person you will spend the rest of your life with.   © Wind of Happiness   

Why compassion towards yourself & others helps you to be happier.

Image
“We are all different. Don’t judge, understand instead.” ― Roy T. Bennett Compassion means to let go of our own way of thinking, to leave our comfort zone behind and try to feel what others feel. Compassion does not mean that we always need to agree with others but it means to at least try understand them. To show our love, to be there if they need us.  Also towards ourselves it is important to let go of expectations and perfectionism. Just imagine you see yourself in the mirrow and you start thinking: "I do not like my body, this part here is too fat etc. Ah - and there is a big spot on my face." You will go along with that negative thoughts of yourself all day - instead of focusing on the positive things like your beautiful hair. That example just simply shows that we will not notice beautiful things, if we are not compassionate with ourselves. In other words: To accept ourselves and others we need to invite love & compassion in order to be content with what ...

Why you should never give up to fight for your goals & dreams.

Image
Hello everyone!    First of all it is super essential to ask yourself if the goals & dreams you want to become true are truly coming from yourself. Because often we unconsciously take expectations from our families, friends, partners etc. and make their goals ours. After you assured yourself of that, you should know that it is quite normal that we sometimes struggle to believe in our dreams specially when things are not working out in the way we would like them to work out or if people say that they will not work out but honestly - do not listen to them! No matter how hard it seems right now to fight for your goals & dreams try to always focus on the positive things and on the things you already achieved. Like that you will gather all strength to keep fighting for them.   The process of them becoming true teaches you to accept every obstacle that comes to your life. Furthermore it teaches you to be patient and face anything unwanted on your path with gratitude, ...

Life is like the ocean.

Image
Hello everyone! Today I want to share a beautiful quote with you that gives me strength in this uncertain time and reminds me to have faith no matter what life brings to us: “None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.” ― Paulo Coelho Always remember: Life is a journey. Life is like the ocean. In constant change. Big waves are crushing, wild storms are blowing but in the end there will always be peace and light, there will be a day when you can see the horizon. We need to be grateful for all challenges, for all struggles in life. They always teach us something even if we do not see the sense of them right now. But we will understand one day. Hope for better days & accept what is right now. May you be guided and protected.💛   © Wind of Happiness

The benefits of meditation - Open new doors for your life

Image
Hello everyone! Like I mentioned in the post about self-awareness we gonna speak more about meditation and its benefits. First of all you might ask yourself: What is meditation?  " Meditation can be defined as a set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. Meditation is also a consciousness-changing technique that has been shown to have a wide number of benefits on psychological well-being" (Definition by Verywellmind ). But what are the detailed benefits of meditation and how can it be life changing? 1. Meditation can reduce stress and anxiety.  The more we are aware of our thoughts the more we can change our negative believes. Furthermore taking several small breaks in our daily life helps to wind down and let go of stress. The less stress we feel the less anxious we will be about our future and tasks we need to do. Meditation can be a great tool to declutter the mind and free your mind. You will face obstacles ...

Why self-love is the key to true love.

Image
“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...
