5 Ways of finding Peace and Joy in your Life!
It is also a good time to remember to slow down and savor every moment.
Are you burned out, stressed, overwhelmed,
and running to catch up task after task?
Are you looking for a way to simplify your
life, slow down time and find a sense of
purpose and peace for yourself?
Take a leap of faith with me and let’s explore some ways of creating the life
you want instead of life happening to you.
As a Reiki Master/Teacher and Energy Medicine Professional I have acquired a few tolls over the years that help me stay centered and joyful throughout trials and tribulations and I would love to share those with you.
Recap:
1.
Be Mindful
2. Love Thyself
3. Be Grateful
4. Be kind
5. Take Time for Yourself
1. Mindfulness. This is a big part of who I am and I am getting better at
it every day. Mindful Presence, Mindful Creating and Mindful Eating are some of
the simple ways we can create change in our lives.
Put
those electronics away and enjoy one thing at a time. If you are working focus
on just the task at hand. If you are taking a walk enjoy the sky, the
surroundings and everything nature has to offer. If you are eating lunch savor
the taste, the smell and the wholesomeness of your food. Multitasking is great
and sometimes necessary but try to keep that at a minimum if you want to stay
balanced and keep stress out of your life. It just takes practice. The more
you catch yourself the more you remember to do it. Don't get upset or judge
yourself if you miss an opportunity to be mindful. Cause this leads us to
another way of creating change:
2. Love thyself. Sounds easy yes? It is but it takes practice. Starting
with being grateful for all the awesomeness you have to offer to the world. Praise yourself
and think positive. Instead of giving yourself a demeaning title like
"idiot" for something silly you did, laugh and brush it off. Use a
sense of humor for all of life's little mishaps. Who knows what the universe
had it store for you. Use affirmations such as "I love myself - I'm so wonderful".
Look at yourself in the mirror and enjoy and accept your body - send your body
love for all that it does for you.
Learn
to celebrate and enjoy life instead of judging and grumpily drudging through
everything that comes your way. We are meant to be joyful so let’s start
by remembering what joy is. How is joy represented in your life? What do you do
for fun? For yourself?
3. Be Grateful
– for yourself and others. For all that shows up in your life. For the opportunities, the connections, the
friends, the family, the food on your plate, the fact that your car started
this morning and that there is sunshine outside. The list is endless. Start
from the littlest things you can think of and work yourself up to bigger things
in your life.
4. Be Kind –
to yourself and others. Try to put judgement aside and find moments where you
can be helpful, think good thoughts and be a pillar of kindness for someone
else. Be kind to yourself as well and minimize negative self talk. It will make
you feel better inside and help somebody out.
5. Take Time for Yourself
– make it a point to take time weekly and do something
you love and finding some time of peace and quiet for yourself. Daily
meditation/quiet time is essential for keeping centered and finding your path
as well as for being able to be quiet enough where your intuition can come
through. When we are busy, running around all day without stopping for a moment
we miss important messages that come through. Once a week book out a time on
your calendar, 1 or 2 hours, or the whole day according to your schedule, where
you can go do your thing. Walking, fishing, canoeing, swimming; whatever that
is that makes you happy. You DESERVE it!
2. Love Thyself
3. Be Grateful
4. Be kind
5. Take Time for Yourself
Just 5 little things!
So print those out if it helps, write a small list
for yourself, post it on your mirror and remember to live life joyfully. If not now, when?
Much Love,
Corinna ♥
