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  

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 exaxct...

Mindful sunday #3

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! This really helps if you suffer from insomnia. 5. Like in the morning you also should reflect on your day. What was going well? What did you do today that made you smile? End your day with positivity and gratitude before you go to bed. © Wind of Happiness
