4 Ways to Love the Life You Have

As the wise saying goes, “Happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a journey.” Sometimes it’s hard to remember this. We just want to skip ahead to the part where we suddenly feel completely happy and in love with our life. We know that life doesn’t work like that though. The lows can lead to greater happiness than you’ve ever known—and it’s the daily work that gets you there. It’s about living and loving the life you have right now. Taking a self improvement course may set you up for success or give you new perspective. In the meantime, here are a few ways to think about your life in this moment and what it means for the future.




Listen to Good Decisions

Are you mindlessly going through each day just to get by? Hopefully not, but sometimes it happens. When you start to pay attention to the choices you make, you become more aware of the direction you’re headed. Then you determine if you need to make some adjustments. Your good choices keep pushing you in the right direction. For example, if you get up early and go for a jog today, this can lead to happy brain chemicals, setting the tone for the rest of your morning. If you keep up with your exercise, it leads to better health and a sense of accomplishment. Listening to your good decisions every day is an ongoing process on which to build and grow.

 Give Gratitude

Regularly noticing your positive experiences is a great way to make you feel happy about today. You don’t have to reserve your thankfulness for big occasions. Embracing the life you are living today means looking at or writing down the things you are grateful for. Back to the jogging analogy: Be appreciative that your body was able to carry you through it, whether it was a good run or a less-than-pleasant run. Expressing gratitude makes us feel more positive, alive, kind, and joyful. The benefits are endless, really.

Live with Balance

What happens when you pull yourself in too many directions? Over time, you may feel burned out from trying to light the candle at both ends. To stay motivated, calm, and fresh, it’s essential to keep the various parts of your life in check. When you put too much into one area of your life, some other important aspects may be neglected. It’s time to pull back the reins when you feel this happening. Check in with your heart and head and listen carefully to what each is saying to you.

 Don’t Wait for Something Big to Happen to You

Your everyday goals help you achieve your long-term goals. Nothing excellent happens overnight. It takes time to accomplish your goals, so make sure you take steps each day to reach them. If you need help defining your goals and desires, reach out to a grounded lifestyle coach to help you create a clearer picture to lead a life you truly love.

The Fine Art of Not Being So Busy All the Time

Image
Have you ever noticed how some people run around like their hair’s on fire? Or, you ask someone how their life or week is going and they reply “so busy.” We’ve been taught that busyness is a good thing. It means we’re being productive members of society and that we are worthwhile humans—but the reality is we are worthy regardless .  Our modern society has trained us to wear go-go-go busyness like a badge of honor. But what happens when you slow down every once in a while and choose mindful busyness instead? It may feel uncomfortable. It may feel like you’re being lazy. It may go against how you see yourself. Give it a try though and notice a new awareness unfold. Why Some People Feel They Need to Be Busy No one likes to feel bored or lonely, so they pack their schedule with as many things as possible to avoid those feelings. It’s an attempt to escape ourselves. But what if sometimes you block out time just for yourself? Time to do solo things like try a new recipe, go for a walk,

To have strong relationships is to know when you need to get out of an unhealthy one. If you feel like you may be in a toxic relationship with someone with narcissistic personality traits, you know all too well how painful it can be. They leave you feeling confused and broken. If you are in this type of situation, you probably already know you need to end it. Trust yourself. Here are some signs to look for. 1. They Become Angry When You Catch Them Lying and Shift the Blame Even when presented with facts and truths they cannot dispute, you or someone else will be blamed.

They Accuse You of Their Own Behavior Many gaslighters will accuse others of doing things they are actually doing, such as cheating or abusing alcohol or drugs. They are projecting their own behaviors onto you to distract from the real
