It's the fifth day of the new year and my heart is filled with so much gratitude. I decided to start off the new year with it a daily dose of positivism and it's been great so far! I realized that as much as it is important to be realistic with life and everything it throws at you, it is equally important to be positive-minded.
This is me pledging
- to live through the year being happy no matter the lemons life throws my way.
- to be obsessively appreciative and grateful for life itself.
- to never forget the best things in life are absolutely free (now a lot of people might argue with me about this but I mean it, the best things in life surely comes at no cost just like love, the air we breathe, beautiful mother nature, family, hugs, sleep, friends, laughter...and many more!
- to collect more beautiful moments not things.
- to be thankful for good health, family, love and more.
- to meditate often.
This isn't a new years resolution list but an affirmation that practicing the above daily leads to more energy, higher emotional intelligence, less depression. less anxiety and better sleep. I particularly love this inspirational quote from "Melody Beattie"
"GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home. a stranger into a friend."
Gratitude is surely the shortest path to Happiness.....
Here's wishing everyone a Prosperous and a Joyful new year :)
Love, M.
