How to Increase YOUR Self Worth and Appreciation
Sep 9th
I have been going through some personal stretching, questioning and developing (as always!). I feel so blessed and fortunate to have many mirrors presented to me in the clients and people I interact with. It never ceases to amaze me that the guidance, advice, strategies and plans that come out of my mouth in a session is often the very thing that I need to hear!!
Something that has been presenting over the last wee while is the issue of worth. I advise people to repeat affirmations of “I am worth it” over and over again throughout the day — the next step is to repeat it to yourself while looking yourself in the eye in a mirror — sounds easy doesn’t it… it is amazing how difficult some people can find this.
Truth is you are worth everything you could possibly dream of and much much more – there is no such thing as lack and limitation other than what you have set up for yourself – you receive what you feel you should receive and no more. Isn’t it time you re-evaluated what it is you think you are worth?
What I want to look at here with you is a correlation between self discipline and self worth… When you adopt a discipline of lets say a 5 minute meditation each day or a 30 minute exercise session every other day – this is a manifestation of your saying I AM WORTH IT. You see it is important to follow through with this idea of worthiness – if you are worth looking after to the finest degree imaginable then does it not make sense that this requires the follow through of what it is your body needs from all aspects of self (mind-body-spirit)?
On the flip side – if you find yourself making excuses about why you do not have the time for an exercise routine, meditation, journaling (whatever you as a whole being requires to lead a fulfilled life) – I suggest that you take a look at how much you are valuing yourself… perhaps it is time to re-assess the worth you have placed on your own well-being.
Have you ever paid attention to the advice given on the safety information on airplanes? In the event of an emergency – oxygen masks will drop down and you are to place them on your face… parents and individuals looking after other dependents are advised to take the oxygen first!! To put that another way – how can you expect yourself to look after others, perform your duties and achieve what you are going for unless you look after yourself first?
If what you are currently doing in life is not working out for you; not achieving the results you know and want for yourself – it is time to look at change!! You are worth it… I am here to support, facilitate and motivate that in any way I can.
Life is Too Short to Be Unhappy – Finding Happiness Every Day
Sep 9th
Living life to the fullest is a great thing, but many people go overboard and just buy anything that they may want not thinking about all the future payments ahead of them.
Yes, life is too short to be unhappy and finding happiness everyday seems to be a problem for many people. Granted, that over ones life time we all have had some sort of problem and many of us with tragedy in our life that makes living life happy a very difficult thing to have.
There are very few people in the world that can honestly say they are very happy everyday of their lives. They too had or have something in their life that has upset their happiness. Most get through and over the hurdle and get right back to their happy life.
Then there are those that just can not seem to overcome their problem and continue on being unhappy for possibly the rest of their lives.
There must be a way that we as humans can figure out exactly what would make us happy everyday of our lives. Maybe we are unhappy do to the stress of being overwhelmed with bills or losing our jobs or a sickness in our family and so many other things to make us unhappy.
I have had all the above and more and I can tell you that yes, it is really hard to be happy with so many negative things going on in our lives. The world itself in my opinion is turning into a real mess if it hasn’t already. How can one think of happiness with everything going on in our world we live.
We can’t fix the world, but we can try real hard to make our lives a little happier and try to relieve some of the stress in our everyday life by making some changes in our life.
I have come up with my conclusion on these things by possibly down sizing my life and try to live it debt free. My reasoning for this change in my life is not only for myself, but for my families welfare as well.
I think by doing this everyone involved will be a little happier and maybe then we can live life the way it should be lived and not just work and work for nothing but material things. I think that happiness is much more important than any material thing in my opinion.
