Hi Friends,
Thank you you for your feedback on the importance of looking back and reflecting. I always love to hear from you and I'm glad it inspired you to pause.
Today is about stopping a few things that we do habitually, in order for us to move forward. It is an intricate balance, isn't it? You can't just add good things to your life, you also must let go of things that wear you down.
The ability to change the following three habitual thought patterns that I want to bring to your attention today, are completely in your control.
1) Stop Regretting the Past
Regret is a heavy burden that many of us carry but it’s essential to understand that the past is unchangeable. Every decision, mistake, or missed opportunity is a lesson that has shaped who you are today. Instead of dwelling on what could have been, focus on what you can learn from your experiences. Remember, growth comes from moving forward, not looking back. Embrace your past, but don't let it define your future.
2) Stop Worrying About the Future
The future is a realm of infinite possibilities and while planning is important, excessive worry is counterproductive. Studies show that most of the things we worry about never come to pass. Instead of being consumed by "what ifs," anchor yourself in the present moment. Practice mindfulness and trust that you have the resilience and resourcefulness to handle whatever comes your way. The future is uncertain, but your ability to face it is certain.
3) Stop Looking for Happiness in Other People
Happiness is an inside job. While relationships and connections are vital to our well-being, placing the burden of your happiness on others is unfair to them and to yourself. True happiness comes from self-acceptance, self-love, and pursuing your passions. Cultivate a fulfilling life by investing in your interests, talents, and personal growth. When you find joy within yourself, it enhances your relationships and allows you to share your happiness with others authentically.
Now, these are easy to write about, but not so easy to implement. Show me a mom who doesn't worry, a woman who was betrayed and doesn't look back or anyone who hasn't at any point expected happiness from another person. We all have. The thing is, it just doesn't help. In the contrary, it drains our energy and keeps us stuck and in complain mode.
If you feel stuck in these habits and are ready to move forward , then message me. I would love helping you through this.
This week's affirmation:
I cultivate happiness inside of me.
