Monday funday | Count you Blessings

Gratitude is extremely powerful feeling and counting your blessing is one of the most powerful practices. It can turn your life around if you do it on daily basis.

How does it work?
Whenever you say and FEEL gratefulness for a certain thing (material or non-material, no matter how small or big), you'll see it magically increase. You can magically repair relationships that way, you can increase your money income, you can become a happier, more fulfilled person, you can meet new people who will help you grow ...

How do you do it?
In my opinion, is best to write your blessings on a piece of paper (I use dairy for that), so you can revisit them at any time. Start with:
  • I am truly grateful/blessed/thankful for      what?     , because _______________.
  • Thank you for __what?___, because _________________.
Count anything you'd like, but always focus on the positive, it's the only way to call abundance in your life. For example:

I am truly thankful for my computer, because I can write posts on it and connect with my followers.
I am grateful for health, because I have energy and I can think positive.
Thank you for food/water, because I nourish/hydrate my body with it.
               etc.


You get the picture. Try to do this exercise every morning and before bed time (and in between the day), it will truly uplift you spirit. Reread your written blessings and say magical words "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." after each one of them. Try to really feel it. The best way is to do that first thing in the morning, so you start your day feeling grateful and blessed, the rest of the day will be magical, I promise ;)

Now, get your diaries (or piece of paper) out and start counting your blessings! What are you thankful for today? :)

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.


Don't sweat the small stuff and keep an open mind...change is a necessary FORCE

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.

Happiness
