The secret of overcoming difficult times - Monday Motivation #4

Image
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...

Mindful Sunday #10

Image
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...

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...

Hello everyone! Happy start into spring´s season! Spring is the perfect time for us to think about everything that we want to achieve this year but also everything old that we want to let go because it doesn´t serve us anymore. “Spring is the time of plans and projects.” ― Leo Tolstoy So why don´t you do a list today with your plans & projects? List everything. Then choose one plan or project for every month and for every week. If you can´t do it by yourself look for some help. Ask your friends or family. May you have a wonderful day.

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 healing starts in the silent moments.

Image
Hello everyone! As I already wrote an article about forgiveness I want to speak with you about healing. In my opinion healing happens in the silent moments. Because only when we experience stillness we are able to reconnect to ourselves. In other words: Only if we find time for ourselves we will find out what is really important to us and what really matters in life. To find this out we need to let go everything that does not serve us anymore - that is not what we are. All that expectations of others can cover our true self and our values. Make sure to slow down once in a while and ask youself: What do I really want in life? What gives me strength? What fulfills me? What makes me truly happy? (If you have forgotten this think about what made you happy when you were a child? What did you like to do?) Sometimes we do not know what to answer to these questions because we are too busy with our life and too busy to fulfill those expectations of others but remember that with self-love &...

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 ...
