Where is your #focus? Are you #countingblessings or troubles? Many studies show that a #gratitudeattitude will #changeperspective ... The more #positivethoughts we have, the more positive thoughts we have! We can retrain our brain! #journal them, start a #blessingbook , share during #familytime , post on #socialmedia ... #changeyourbrain 1. Husband 2. Family 3. Another day #go #positivevibes #challengeaccepted #keepmovingforward #lifelessons #mindfullife #truth #quote

What do we tell ourselves? What do we wish our #life to be? #collage is a great way to #focus your attention on your desires for your life.... It is also a wonderful way to work through #feelings that are difficult . It can help you make #connections to enable you to #moveforward . When we choose to #thinkpositive we think more #positivethoughts . When we #thinknegative we think more #negativethoughts . #selfcare #insight #changeperspective #wisdom #mondaymotivation #mindfulliving

We all have a #choice when we face #trials and #struggles . Today I choose #joy! Today I am #thankful . Today I will #countmyblessings . #family #friends ... #support #love #grandkids #mykids #mymom #timetogether Most if all my #husband .

It is so easy to lose today's #joy . If we get caught up is #worry we are living in the future. If we get caught up in #depression we are living in the past.... This robs us of today's joy! Having a #mindful practice can keep us #grounded in the #hereandnow . Mindfulness helps us expand our ability to feel our #feelings in the moment. Anything you do can be done mindfully. Focus on each of your senses (smell, touch, taste, sight, hearing ) while doing the task. Be #creative in making a mindful #routine #mindfulnessmatters #keepmovingforward #wednesday #motivationalquotes #positivity

It is so #empowering to know that we have #choices . We can #choose to #createbeauty .We can choose to #connect . We can choose to #showlove . We have power to increase #positivevibes in our lives and others. ... How can we be #creative in sharing beauty, love and connection with those around us?

#life is about #choices ! What are we choosing to put in the world? Our actions and #behavior speak to who we are. ... If we are not living by our #values we will experience #anxiety and #depression. What are your #corevalues ... #love , #trust , #peace , #growth ? Be #authentic in your actions focusing on your values. You will notice a #positive shift occur within you :) #lifelearning #mondaymotivation #meaningfullife #truths #keepmovingforward #mindshift #peacewithin

With all the stress we are facing, it is helpful to create a #selfcarespace . A place where we can #center and ground... A place that helps us #calm ... A place to #journal or #collage .... It can be a corner, a room, a desk...make it your special place. Think about your home as your #safeplace . How can you add #Pocketsofjoy? How can you create a sense of #peace ? How can you #declutter ? If we create a " #selfcarehome " we can lower our baseline stress ;) Get #creative and enjoy your space! #stressrelief #selfcare #selfcaresaturday #selflove #mindfulnesspractice #keepmovingforward #positivevibes

It is all about #perspective ! Went I bought the TP from Amazon it appeared normal size. It just #appeared... that way due to the angle of the picture. It was my perspective of the TP that was incorrect . When received, it was a tiny TP ! If I had a #differentperspective I would have seen the true size of the TP. It is important to look at the #bigpicture . Look at #issues from other perspectives too. There is always more than one perspective . Our perspective can be skewed. The #moral : Don't end up with tiny TP. #truthfortoday #lessonlearned #keepmovingforward #2020tpshortage #reframe #fridayvibes #fridayfunny

Everyone has #hurts and #trauma that they carry. #grief from losing a loved one, abuse from #family or #relationships , abuse from church leadership , bullying , domestic violence, PTSD, anxiety....just to name a few ! All of this we are dealing with as we deal with a #pandemic , #riots and #protests. ... Please be #gentle , be #kind and #curious as we meet, online or in person. We just cannot know what someone else is experiencing . Artist-Kadyn Magdaleno #belove #keepmovingforward #thursdaythoughts #liveauthentic #mindfulnesspractice

Although we as a country are struggling right now, we cannot let go of our #dreams for the #future . We need to #plan for #fun with the family...we may need to be creative to #staysafe . ( #socialdistancing , #masks , #outdoors ) We need to #looktothefuture . Make a list of activities you will do when things normalize. #familyparty , new #familytradition , #trip ...... #positivethoughts #keepmovingforward #quoteoftheday #Wednesdaywisdom #livemindful

No matter what is going on in the world today...we can ways find #beauty ! It may seem that there is so much ugly in the #world . If our #focus is on the #negative, that is what we will find. Then we condition our selves to see from that "negative lens" ... #changeperspective Look for the #positive , #reframe . There are many #peopleofpeace , those with a #growthmindset , those wanting to #bethechange , those that are #authentic . Surround yourself with those that #uplift , #speaktruth , that give #encouragement , those that help you #findbeautyineverything . #toolfortuesday #quotesforlife #truth #keepmovingforward

I #love this #quote ! Be #determined to #thrive :) Setting our #intentions in the morning can #guide our choices through the day. ... We all need #compassion (for #ourself and others), #humor and our own #unique #style :) Even though we are facing many #challenges we can still thrive and #grow #growthmindset #keepmovingforward #meaningfulmonday #truthquotes #perspective #wisdomoftheday

We have value because we are! Value does not come through doing, value comes from #being . Everyone of us has #value .... It is not dependent on #belief , #skincolor , #politics or #financialstatus . We are all #createdequal . Let's start to truly value each other, just because we are! #changetheworld #lifelesson #keepmovingforward #saturday #truthbetold #bethechange #quotesforlife
