Wind of Happiness - Create the life you wish for

Hello everybody, I hope you are all doing well. I think this is actually the most important post I have ever wrote and something so important to me to share with you. I think the hardest and darkest times in life are crucial to get clearity about ourselves and transform to a better version of ourselves - or better to find the way back to our true self, our essence. Everything that triggers you in life or makes you feel that your loosing control is a strong sign of a wound that isn´t healed yet inside of yourself. So every person or circumstance that comes along your way in life is there in order to reflect your own shadows. Things that make you upset are things you do not want to see about yourself! Things you point your finger on and critize, are actually things you do not want to see in yourself and therefore you also do not want to accept them or you are simply unaware of their existance. We can not change other people and their behaviour but what we can change is how we react to th...

Hello everyone, actually when life gets hard, when external situations and routines change, when we go trough personal lows we often get anxious or sometimes even overwelmed. We get lost in negative thoughts, we get tangeled in panic and we just want to have back the feeling of control.  We start to compare how we felt in the past. Was life better? Easier? Happier? We blame or judge ourselves, we cling to old emotions and memories. Maybe even get a little depressed. Also the feature looks suddenly frightening and unpredictable. How should we manage everything? And this focus on either the past or the future, limits us to actually go through the discomfort, through the pain or fear. We try to suppress and avoid these uncomfortable and painful feelings instead of letting our mind find acceptance and peace with the presence, with reality. If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.” ― Amit Ray Because the secret of staying strong i...

Hello everybody, I hope you are all doing well. I just think gratitude is so important to include in our daily life. Gratitude makes us feel alive and happy because we connect with the present moment and with ourselves. Instead of focusing what we do not have and would like to have, we appreciate what is already right in front of us. This way we are able to invite awareness in our life because we take a moment to truly see ourselves and not what is happening around us - we focus on the inside.. With gratitude we learn to accept our past and we let go of the constant necessity to control every situation. We let go of our ego and see ourselves with love and appreciation. We can let go of our shame and regret, we are able to forgive. With gratitude we give life a chance to embrace challenges instead of procrastinate and letting fear rule our life - this let us become a wiser and better version of ourselves. “Be thankful for everything that happens in your life; it’s all an experience.” ...

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!

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

  “Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.” ― Ralph Marston © Wind of Happiness

Hello everybody! I hope  you are doing weell. Finally I managed to write another post of my "Mindful Sunday series"! This morning I thought about how different the seasons of the year are and which feelings they awake inside me. I think winter is a very peaceful time where I feel cosy to be inside and love to watch the fire and the snow falling. When I go for walks everything around me is very still and it seems like nature is sleeping and resting to have the power to be fully prepared for the next year, for all challenges. In this time I also rest more than normally , I enjoy time around my family and it makes me aware from where I come from. Christmas reminds me a lot of childhood. Spring for me means to discover nature completely new. The smell of the earth, of the sun rays that warm the plants. The evenings that get longer from day to day. I just feel really awake and excited about life. As at the same time spring makes me feel a little melancholy. I love to see the first...

Hello everybody! I hope you are healthy and safe.  Many of us struggle with anxiety, especially in the current time of uncertainty. But anxiety makes us feel helpless and weak and hence tears us away from the present moment. Then we often forget for what we can feel greatful and all our once positive thoughts will disappear in anxiousness. “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon So here are my 5 top tips to reduce anxiety: 1. Make yourself clear that you are not your anxious thoughts. Write down everything that makes you feel worried. Like this it gets out of your head and you gonna feel released. 2. Try to take a pause in the moments you are feeling your anxiety. Place your hand at your heart and accept your feelings but tell yourself that everything is alright and that you can feel save. 3. In moments of anxiety try to take deep breaths. Imagine your breath wanders along your body - from your fe...

Hello everybody and happy November! It is incredible how fast time flies. Autumn is the perfect season to let go everything that no longer serves you. Only when you are not afraid of change, you can allow to free yourself of everything that does not bring value anymore or that even make you feel heavy. 1. Write a list with negative and limiting beliefs, emotions or thoughts that do not serve you anymore and burn that list. You will feel so much more free and create space for new things!  2. Declutter your work/living space. Give items away that you did not use the last few months! 3. Do not judge your past. When you identify yourself with your past and painful emotions then you will stay stucked in life and will not embrace growth. Try to change negative habits and replace them with postitive ones! © Wind of Happiness

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...

Hello everyone, today I want to share with you my favourite quote of this month.     “Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.” ― Steve Maraboli    © Wind of Happiness    

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 exaxct...

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...

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...

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   

Hello everyone!  You might ask yourself what you could do to be more mindful and to come into the present moment specially when your mind constantly seems to wander. My top one tip is to go outside and just enjoy nature to reconnect to your true self and to let go of everything that no longer serves you.  Let us do an exercise together. Sit or even lay down somewhere outside (of course you should choose a place where you can relax and where you are safe!). It does not matter if the ground is sandy, snowy or however the ground looks like. Make yourself comfortable. Let the arms and legs feel heavy. Then close your eyes and relax your face. Feel the ground underneath you. Feel the parts of your body that are connected to the earth. Does the ground feel warm? Or cold? Hard or soft? Breath and be aware of every little detail. Take your time.  Then open your eyes and look to the sky. Surrender to the clouds. Are they moving fast? Or slow? Which shapes do they have? Try to see ...

Good evening everyone and welcome to my 2nd post!  After you have probably read my morning routine tips I will now share with you my top 5 ideas for an evening and a stress reliefing routine. 1. Get into comfortable clothes. Like that your mind and body will realise that your work of today is done. 2. Light up some candles and turn off all distracting devices. 3. If you are into yoga embrace the evening with a short evening stretch routine. It works best if you turn on relaxing music. 4. Make yourself a cup of relaxing tea!
