3 things you should embrace 2025 in order to find more peace.

Image
Hey everyone, i know it`s been quite a while since I posted something but I hope all of you started well into the year 2025! Today I wanted to share with you 3 little reminders that can help you to invite more peace in to your daily life. 1. Gratitude I know it seems more than obvious but gratitude is more important than we might think. Gratitude invites us to find joy and peace in our daily life. It awakens our awareness of the present moment ´cause often we focus on our to do´s and future. But how often are we grateful with all that we already achieved? How often do we appreciate the things and people that are actually around us? Often we make the experience that we only miss something or someone when they aren`t around anymore. So... take a breath from time to time and make a list what you currently appreciate in your daily life. Even if it`s `just` a good book, a coffee or a beautiful flower. 2. Self care Self care is something we often forget in our busy lifes. So why not planning...

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...

Gratitude - A life long lesson.

Image
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.” ...

Mindful sunday #12

Image
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 one. If you live this way, you can say in the end - life is a gift. The biggest gift.     © Wind of Happiness

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...

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.

How to reduce anxiety. 5 tips

Image
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...

3 tips how to let go of things that no longer serves you - Monday motivation #3

Image
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

What nature teaches us - Monday motivation #2

Image
Hello everyone and welcome to a new week! Many researches prove that spending time in nature has a tremendous effect on our mental and physical well-being. Furthermore being in nature makes us more mindful and can so teach us more about ourselves. Through nature we can learn to take a step back from all our stress and see clearly who we are and what we want. “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ― John Muir So, whenever you have the opportunities to go for a walk take the chance in order to learn more about yourself! May you be happy and courageous to embrace new adventures!💜  © Wind of Happiness  

Mindful sunday #9

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well and save! Today I want to speak with you about why uncertainty is helping us to grow. In relation to this topic I found a beautiful quotation that says: “Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. ...live in the question.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke So, let me remind you that no matter where you find yourself right now, no matter if you go through uncertain times right now or not - it is all there to help you grow which means to get your inner power and courage back in order to then gain personal strenght.  Because only if we go through the darkness, through uncomfort and fear, we will grow. And growth always means as well to fail first but then have the patience to get back and overcome whatever holds you back.  I wish you a delightful and mindful sunday! With all my love 💛   © Wind of Happiness  

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

Image
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...

Trust the process of life.

Image
“Life is like the river, sometimes it sweeps you gently along and sometimes the rapids come out of nowhere.” ― Emma Smith   This quotation is showing that we all may have peaceful and calm times when everything seems to unfold perfectly in life and then suddenly there are these unpredictable times maybe full of rush and perhaps even of uncertainty and fear. But always remember that only the process of life makes us what we are today. We always learn something out of the `rapids` in life. Sometimes we can not predict and control them. But we need to learn to swim with them - not swimming against them. May you have a wonderful start into a new month full of new opportunities. Whatever comes to your life embrace it with acceptance and loving kindness.💙 © Wind of Happiness

Why forgiveness helps to move on & accomplish your goals. 2 important reasons

Image
Hello everyone! Forgiveness is a big word. It means to let go of old wounds. To let go of  heavy burdens we carry with us - made by others or even by ourselves. When we will not forgive ourselves, people or actions that hurt us we will never move on. The past will always hold us back. 1. In other words: If we want to follow our dreams and accomplish what we wish for, we need to let go of stored negative emotions inside of us that are related to anger and maybe even hate. If we do not let go of the past we are bound to think (sooner or later) about past events or people that betrayed, harmed etc. us and we will feel bad about it. We will relive that moment and we will even attract more negative thoughts maybe even about the future.  That negativity will determine our daily life. Without our permission that memories will remove energy of us and we will not have the strength we wish to have to invite positivity and happiness. We will not be able to love ourselves and others what ...

Why happiness is a commitment with yourself.

Image
Happiness is probably the most important aim in people`s life. But how can we be happy when life is challenging us? When we think we do not have anything to be happy about? When we are struggeling with our relationships, jobs etc.? Well...that is the point. Why do we need to "have" something or achieve things to be happy? Why can we not just be happy because we are living and breathing? The simple truth of being happy is that it is a decision you take. Happiness is a lifestyle. No matter what will come to your life you need to face it with love and acceptance. With gratitude and peace. Spend time with people you love, forgive. Start every day new - with everything! “Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.” ― Roy T. Bennett © Wind of Happiness
