Waking up with a feeling of gratitude towards life is beneficial for our
well being. We all have days where we wake up and struggle to find positivity. Reminding
yourself of the good things in life will help encourage healthier thoughts to
spread throughout your day.
Empowering Ourselves
The phrase "What you think, you
become" holds a lot of truth. We have to be kinder to ourselves to
transform and maintain productive thoughts that serve to empower us.
We also need to acknowledge doubtful
and depressing thoughts often stem from other peoples actions or words. When I
acknowledged this myself, I knew I had to work on my thoughts to rebuild my
inner peace.
To affirm positive thoughts, I do
these following things:
· Meditation is continuing to teach me how to calm my thoughts and bring
my attention to the present moment.
· Singing positive songs can be motivating and has a positive influence on
my thoughts and mood.
· Listening to positive podcasts - I intentionally try to listen to either
funny or thought-provoking podcast every day whilst I cook or get ready for the
day because I'm conscious about what I feed my mind and thoughts.
· Socialise - I am a certified homebody and enjoy the comfort of my house
but I can appreciate the odd occasion where I meet up with my girlfriends and
enjoy a good catch up.
· Reading is important to me, as I benefit from the mental stimulation and
the therapeutic effects.
· Keep a journal. This is a good way to express yourself. Whenever I
struggle to get things out I write and then reflect on what I have written. I
also express my gratitude and write self-affirmations to empower my thoughts.
· Dancing is truly liberating. I dance away and express free movement
which improves my mood instantly.
· Yoga - Yoga benefits the mind, body, and soul because the practices help
to calm anxiety and rapid thoughts through combining meditation, physical
exercises and breathing. You also learn to focus on your movements which helps
you adapt your strength and flexibility as you practice the sequences in the
present moment.
Mindful thinking is important as our
thoughts can serve to empower us. Negative thoughts can be detrimental to our
well being. This is why we need to be aware of our inside narratives as our
ways of thinking hold power, so be kinder to yourself and mindful of others.
Spread the love!
