Appreciate Everyday

Appreciate Everyday

Life is a Journey


We are focusing the month of March brainstorming what makes us feel alive. When we do things that make us feel happy and alive we are building positive meaning in our lives and those around us.

So far we have focused on the following:
1. What makes us feel alive? How do we apply these events in our lives?
2. Live life with a meaning. Being alive means your life is fullfilling a meaning.
3. Are you alive in your career? You spend a great deal of your life working. Your career should make you feel alive.

Today we are going to focus on appreciating each day. When we wake up instead of brainstorming all the things you have to do instead, think about all the wonderful things you have now.

Sometimes we start our day off with too many thoughts and focus on things we need to do, negativity, fear, anxiety, worry, and over working our thoughts. I prefer to wake up and just focus on the morning, check my Facebook, enjoy my coffee for at least a half hour before I start my day. Once I have had time to reflect on myself then I can start working my way into my daily routine.

Plan some time in the morning for at least fifteen minutes to just clear your thoughts. You can do yoga, walk, sit and just sip some coffee and read the news.

Life is a Journey Our Mission and Motto We have started an online adventure for those that want to improve their life by living happier. Sometimes we need reminders, goals, ideas, with guidance to help us focus on ways to improve the quality of our life. You are invited to share your thoughts and ideas or even contribute to help others improve their life happiness. Our mission is to give ideas and suggestions how you can brainstorm and work through your own journal to better your life and how you can improve your decision making. Our Motto is living life to the fullest. This does not mean it has to be perfect or that you need to live an elaborate life. It means we live our life in a way that makes us happy.

Your life is yours to create, choose, and master the art of enjoying living. So our motto is... Li

Self Awareness Digging Deep into Your Life This week we are focusing on exploring our true self. This includes all the good and bad things about who we are. Enable to improve our own well being we have to be honest with who we are and how we appear to others. This week you will map out all the things about you that describe you and your qualities. There will be three categories. How others see you or describe you. How friends and relatives see or describe you. How you describe yourself. It is important to list your qualities and characteristics truthfully so that means there may be some negative characteristics listed.

➳ May Resilience - Focusing on Gratitude

MAY RESILIENCE WEEK TWO Focusing on Gratitude I am not a fan of people saying "Well it could be worse" or "Some people have it worse than you do". In my opinion, it is very insensitive considering each of us has our own struggles. Some struggle more than others based on different events. At the same time, it is our job to help ourselves heal and we are the only person that can help us through this process. Gratitude is part of the process to be thankful for things we are happy we have or grateful for what is still there. The purpose of gratitude isn't to compare our situation or make us feel guilty. It is to help us refocus on things that we can still be grateful for. So, for example, I went through a very hard grieving process when my cat Mr. Sully passed away. In fact, it has been over a year and I still feel the pain from his loss. At the same time to help me balance my pain to be sure I can get up and go I try to tell myself I am grateful I have my other
