Be Alive and Live

Be Alive and Live

Life is a Journey

We are focusing the month of March brainstorming what makes us feel alive.

Yesterday we talked about living life with a meaning. Today we will talk about living life by being alive. What do we mean by this? For example if you have seen the movie Office where the workers mono chromatically get up, go to work, repeat the same behavior weekly.

This is not living or being alive this is simply following a pattern because you feel you have to. Most of us work because it is necessity but we can also choose to work a career that makes us feel alive. I enjoy teaching and it makes me feel alive. To truly live and be alive it makes sense to choose my career in teaching.

Today brainstorm your career life. Are you living? Are you feeling alive? Is there a way you can start working towards a career that can help you feel alive?

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. So for example I might say I am short tempered, procrastinator, lacking empathy at times, or always late. Do not forget to list your good qualities too! List your characteristic in order from highest to lowest. So if your highest quality is you are a procrastinator put that on top. Use this list to determine what part of your characteristic you need t

➳ 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
