How to have an amazing year/life

Perfect time to write this post! :)
I think we have all reached a rock bottom at some point when nothing seems to be going according to our plan, we become grumpy, people around us are unhappy, we are unhappy, stressed, we start hoping for better life. Today, my friend, I will introduce you some ways how to be a happier person and how to attract good things in your life.

1. Start your day right: count your blessings. Feeling of gratitude is one of the most powerful practices you can do. When you are grateful with what you already have (family, love, friends, health, money, work, relationships, passion, happiness, love, life, nature, material goods), no matter how small it may be, you will see those things increase in your life. And this will lead you to happiness. When you are happy and positive, people around you will be happy and you will attract only good things. Start your sentence: "I'm truly thankful/grateful/blessed to have _(what?)__ because _(why?)__". Try to really feel it - you can write it down or just go through them in your mind, I recommend doing that in the morning, so you'll start your day right :). And one more thing, there's no such thing as too much gratefulness.

2. Love yourself. Not in a narcissistic way - there is a HUGE difference between confident/feeling good in your own skin and "egoistic lovers" (everyone has 2 aspects of themselves: Soul and Ego, but that could be long discussion, maybe next time :)). Once you accept yourself the way you are, other people will start falling in love with you AND because I'm such a fitness freak, loving yourself is a good point when your body is more capable of changing (great, ay? :)) It all starts in your own head actually. The longest relationship you have to have your whole life is with yourself, if you can't stand yourself, no one else will. That's why is so important to have healthy relationship with yourself. Exercise you can do: start repeating in your head "I love myself" and "I appreciate myself.", try to really feel it. It really doesn't take any time, since you can do it wherever and you can do it up to 300 times a day (constantly repeating in your mind). And work on yourself, maybe meditate, go for a walk, talk to yourself ... Just be kind to yourself.

3. Never do anything you wouldn't want to happen to you. In other words: dear friend, karma is a bitch, because what goes around comes around. Be a good person, be good to other people, and most importantly be good to animals and nature, they need love too. Don't steal, lie, litter, gossip, fight and other bad stuff ... So we will all end up in heaven :P

4. Another good point is, don't sweat the small stuff ... and it's all small stuff!! Just stop worrying so much, calm down, slow yourself, enjoy the moment, don't stress, inhale deeply, exhale fully, just relax ... It's not even that hard when you stop being so stubborn and stop telling yourself you can't control your life. Guess what, you "wear" your brain, you are not on an autopilot! Life is (pardon my French) f*cking beautiful, don't waste it being worried and stressed. Be happy <3. You can try to meditate, go for a walk, dance, sing, clean ... try to do anything that relaxes you and calms you mind.

And remember - man becomes what he thinks about.

Make this year the most amazing year of your life ever!! Enjoy life! Happy New Year! :)

I love ...

In every inspirational/motivational book or in books about life in general, you'll read to focus on thing you love. Those things I mentioned in this post may be a little bit random, but whenever I do, see, think or make any of them, they make me the happiest.
Those are not things I've been loving lately, I would say I love them every day ... :)

There is something special about red nail polish. It's so feminine, sophisticated, classy, yet still enough edgy and daring for my liking. I have more than 10 nail polishes in "red family" :).

I love being a blogger. Although I was kinda "forced" to start blogging, now I don't ever want to stop. I love interacting with followers through comments, tweeter, sending emails ... I just love whole blogger community in general.

I don't have luck with keeping flowers alive in my home :D, but I admire roses. Especially red roses. They are just so beautiful!

There are two kinds of people: the ones who don't like tattoos and the ones who do. I'm in the second category for sure:). I still don't have any tattoos, but I have so many ideas what I want, I will probably get my first one really soon! It's just so hard to find a good tattoo artist in Slovenia.

I already mentioned the last thing, but I really started loving yoga. I do yoga on days, when my muscles are too tired and sore to do a regular workout, and I really started realizing that yoga is so much more. It's meditation, healing and relaxing process etc. that makes you fell calm and prepared for the day. If you are familiar with yoga, you probably know what I'm talking about :)

What do you love?
