Gratitude: Each Day, I am Grateful for Simple Things
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing, Spiritual Healing
Every day that we are here on earth, we can allow ourselves to be filled with wonder about everything around us. We can feel intense gratitude at the sound of a child’s voice, the fragrance of flowers in the air, or the sight of dew-laden grass in the morning.
In a world stuffed with material goods, sometimes we might feel challenged to just feel grateful in our own space with our own possessions and the simple things in life. But we remind ourselves to look around and find what brings us feelings of joy and thankfulness.
When the tough days come along, we can choose to think of the smile on a friend’s face or notice the sound of the birds singing in the early evening. Our thoughts lead us back to feeling gratitude for these pure sources of light in our lives.
The simplest things can have the greatest value to us. The comfortable, old stuffed chair in the living room and a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning can remind us that we have so much to be thankful for. Each day the sun rises and we are here to see it. These are opportunities for us to feel gratitude!
Life gets pretty complicated sometimes. When it does, we opt to re-focus ourselves and acknowledge the contentment we find in simplicity. After a hard day’s work, we can indulge in a glass of iced tea, and sit down and relax. We can be grateful for these small moments.
Today, we allow ourselves to acknowledge all the wondrous yet simple things that surround us. We notice our children’s bright eyes, our spouse’s facial expressions, and the beauty of nature. We can allow ourselves to be grateful every day for simple, abundant things in our lives.
Self-Reflection Questions:
- Each day, do I take note of something I am grateful for?
- How can I ensure that I am spending a few minutes every day reflecting on the blessings in my life?
- At this very moment, what am I grateful for?

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing
Are you plagued by doubts that hamper you from reaching your dreams? Are you tentative in situations that may present obstacles to your success? Instead of settling for a commonplace life, learn a few straightforward strategies that will help you to feel self-possessed in every situation.
Confidence in your talents and abilities is nearer than you think. You were created for a reason, and you’re the only person who can fulfill that purpose.
Each one of us has a lot to offer the world. All you need is to uncover the passion inside of you and agree to leave your comfort zone in favor of a life crammed with joy.
Try these tips to start to increase self-confidence today:
1. Get to better understand yourself. One giant hurdle that can hold you back from living the life you long for is a lack of understanding of who you are. Take a seat with a pen and paper, and ask yourself these questions:
- What would you dare to attempt if you knew it was impossible for you to fail?
- What are your dreams? What did you dream about doing and becoming as a child? What have you always wanted to make an effort at?

The Spring Season is the time for New Life and New Growth!
Here is an excerpt from Pippa Passes, a poem by Robert Browning:
The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hillside’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven –
All’s right with the world!
I love the way this poem encapsulates the pure joy and life-enhancing vibrancy of Springtime!
During this marvelous season, I urge you to get outside and enjoy the sunshine (after you apply ample sunscreen, of course!) as often as you can. The Vitamin D in sunshine is a necessary body nutrient for
* Strong bones
* T-cell function
* Eye health
In addition to boosting your body’s level of Vitamin D, the sun has amazingly beneficial effects on enhancing mood and emotional well-being. So, if you are looking forward to Read more

Stress: Powerful Tips to Help You Gain Control of Your Stress!
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing, Physical Healing
You may have felt worried or stressed lately. This is a common feeling. Almost everyone experiences anxiety every now and then. Some people experience anxiety with great frequency!
There are numerous methods to handle stress and strain. This post has a collection of some the finest stress management pointers offered. I urge you to use them to reduce your degree of tension, and bring serenity into your life.
1. Minimize Caffeine: A great technique to reduce the tension that you experience is to lower your caffeine intake. Cortisol is the anxiety bodily hormone in your body that helps to moderate many aspects of stress response — for example, weight gain, mood swings, heart disease, and diabetic issues.
2. Aromatherapy: When you take a bath in the evening, add some aromatherapy beads. This will certainly assist to open your pores. The largest of all of our organs is the skin. Maintaining open pores helps to clean your body from the inside, out. The scents released from the beads will provide a way to soothe your anxiousness and stress. Looking after your body is essential in helping to lower stress values.
3. Reading: Engage in reading a publication — e.g., a book or magazine or newspaper — to reduce some of your pent-up stress. While reading, you will find yourself able to be mindful of the story Read more

Mindfulness: The Importance of Mindfulness
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Spiritual Healing
Why all the fuss about being Mindful?
The importance of remaining Mindful rests in the fact that what occurs in our lives happens in this present moment. The only way to affect our lives centers on what we can do right here, right now.
The past is out of our reach. It is over. We cannot change the events — the details of those events — our actions in those events — the outcomes of those events — that have occurred in the past.
The future is not yet here. We cannot change the events — the details of those events — our actions in those events — the outcomes of those events — that have yet to occur.
What we CAN do is be fully aware of this moment, right now.
Here is the miracle!:Â By paying close and particular attention to what is occurring right now — by noticing carefully happens within us and around us — we CAN CHANGE our experience of this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can change how we look at this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can choose how we want to feel in this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can actively select the words we use to communicate in this moment.
* By staying aware of it, we can write a positive script about N-O-W … then, proceed — in this moment — to put that script into action!
Such is the absolute magic of NOW!
