Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Is It Time to Declutter?

by

Let Go of What Isn’t Essential

Decluttering sounds like a big project, but setting aside just 20 minutes a week can have a big impact. What can you do in 20 minutes? Lots. Set a timer on your phone and take 15 minutes to tidy up a specific area of one room — say, your closet or that out-of-control junk drawer. Put everything in its place and toss or give away any extra clutter that’s not serving you anymore. Keep a designated box for giveaways to make things a little easier (and avoid creating more clutter).Use the remaining 5 minutes to do a quick walk through your living space, putting away whatever stray items end up in your path. You can do this trick once a week, once a day, or anytime you feel like your space is getting out of control.

Note: Decluttering around your office, home, or apartment will help you to feel better. Think about decluttering your mind. Let go of other people’s business. Let go of things you can’t change. Let go of anger and resentments. You’ll add ten years to your life.

Today’s Positive Thought ~ Learning to Trust Ourselves

by

“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live (Goethe).”

Learning to trust ourselves takes time. It takes a lot of letting go. It takes heaps of courage to dare new things without a safety net. When we reach the place of where we can trust ourselves, everything changes for the better. 

What If . . .

What if I decided the past can’t hurt or haunt me? Every human has scars, emotional or physical, from past hurts. Physical scars heal over, but the emotional pain often remains. The worse part of the pain occurs when we allow the past emotional and physical scars to continue to hurt us over and again. We allow the memories to haunt us like Dickens’ ghost from Christmas past. We may not be able to prevent these thoughts from randomly popping into our mind. We can make a decision not to join them. Let the thoughts stay as long as they want and tell them not to let the door hit them in the ass when they leave. Don’t give them power by reminiscing with them.

Today’s Power Thought ~ What You Really Want

You already have everything you want. It may not be packaged the way you want it packaged. When you let go of what you think you want, you will see, perhaps for the first time, everything you really wanted was always with you.

Stress Hack: Need Help Letting Go?

Focus on the present.

Returning your focus to the present will help you accept and let go of what you cannot control. It will also help you realize that you can’t change the past, and that the future hasn’t happened yet, so it’s a waste of time to keep thinking about them. (This doesn’t mean that you are unaware of what happened in the past or what is about to happen in the future.) Try taking a deep breath and asking yourself how you are feeling right now.

Health Hack: Say Goodbye to the Past & Move On

Forget About the Past

If you consider a bad childhood, bad financial decisions made years ago, or a breakup as a negative self-fulfilling prophecy for your future, your future will be pretty gloomy. Instead, take life’s challenges as lessons, put them in your past, and consider yourself stronger for overcoming the negatives in your past.

Did You Know Forgiving Others Has Significant Health Benefits?

Almost everyone has experienced being wronged by someone. . . . But hanging on to those negative feelings can do great harm to your health. Forgiving a person who has wronged you is never easy, but dwelling on those events and reliving them over and over can fill your mind with negative thoughts and suppressed anger. When you learn to forgive, you are no longer trapped by the past actions of others and can finally feel free. Practicing forgiveness can have powerful health benefits. Observational studies, and even some randomized trials, suggest forgiveness is associated with lower levels of depression, anxiety, and hostility; reduced substance abuse; higher self-esteem; and greater life satisfaction.
