It's probably safe to say that we all have at one point, as us  are programmed to pick up on the energies around us - be it or positive. 

You are the of the five you spend the most time with. Think about this. Who do you spend the most time with? Do they always find the in situations, or do they dwell on the negatives? If you answered with the latter, then it might be a good time to do a self check to make sure that the people you're yourself with are  you up and  rather than bringing you down and your growth.

Accept and Let Go: Accept where you are now and what you have. This is your life, at this time. While it’s temporary, accepting it will help you to let go of stress, anxiety, and fear. Meditation is one of the best ways to learn and practice acceptance.

Observe and Decide: When you face a particular challenge, take a step away from your to make a plan. While it’s important to still feel your feelings, when deciding how to act, you want to be objective as possible.

Face Fears and Act: Taking action is one of the biggest steps in overcoming challenges. It’s likely that a big part of whatever you’re facing feels like a challenge because you have an underlying fear. Try to recognize and define what you in the situation. Then, you can act to mitigate that fear.

Practice Gratitude: Ultimately, we tend to exist in our comfort zones. So, when something new happens or is presented, we may feel like it’s hard to deal with. By practicing gratitude, you can reframe your definition of a challenge. You will also be overall in your moment.

Many of us will start out the by making a list of – we want to make to be such as eating better, volunteering more often, being a more attentive spouse and so on. But, as we know, we will often fail. After a few we will typically give up and go back to our old habits.

Why is it so hard to stick to resolutions that require us to make or lasting changes?

I would argue the problem isn’t that we try and we fail – the problem is how we ourselves when we fail. From early childhood, we are taught that we must at all costs. What most of us aren’t is how to successfully so we can and GROW.

One of the best ways to deal with failure is to have self-compassion.

Self-compassion has been found to be an important source of and in the face of various life such as divorce, chronic or combat. It also reduces body and even leads to behavior (relevant to many New Year’s resolutions!)

Kindness is the engine that drives us to keep trying even after we fall flat on our face. So this New Year, when you make and inevitably break your resolutions, instead of and then giving up, try being to yourself. In the long run you’ll be more likely to succeed. (theladders.com)

Happy New Year 💙🧿🍾🥂

If you don't the facts, then you the facts. Rejection of the facts is resistance. Resistance = pain.

Resistance steals your from you. And the cold hard is that you do it to yourself. The around you is not causing your pain and suffering, as hard as that is to stomach. All the things going wrong, the outcomes not meeting your expectations, the difficult people and – it all just is. It's happening. It's fact. What causes the suffering is your to it.

The only way to end that suffering, is to stop resisting what is going on. You will never win fighting AGAINST life. You have to get tough with yourself, and not make up excuses, and not continue to feed your story of resistance. It can be alluring to do nothing, and continue blaming, complaining, crying, questioning … and  the pain while delaying your peace.

Engage in some type of that feels good to you, to interrupt the painful thought/feeling you are caught within. Ask yourself: Is this happening to me because of my own beliefs, thoughts, feelings, choices, behavior or actions.

If that's the case, the only way I can truly be onboard with non-resistance is if I OWN this. I have to be self-responsible, and ask…

What is there for me to about myself and life because of this situation?

How can I be differently in future that will help me avoid this again?

What can I do differently in future that will lead to better outcomes?

You’re allowed to have high standards. You’re allowed to stay until you find someone who checks off all your boxes. You might have been called too in the past — but there’s a difference between wanting someone of your and wanting someone unrealistic.

No, you shouldn’t have shallow about the amount of money your person needs to make each paycheck or what hair color they have or how tall they are, but you’re allowed to have standards about core values, about traits, about what matters the most in a . It’s good you know what you want.

Lowering your standards isn’t going to you find love. It might help you find a relationship — but you shouldn’t be for any old relationship. You should be searching for THE relationship. The relationship that is going to you. The relationship that is going to you. The relationship that is going to make you feel completely at peace.

Lowering your standards is only going to make you miserable. It’s better to be than in a relationship that isn’t a good fit for you. Do you really want to be in a relationship with someone who cannot to meet your standards? Do you really want to yourself into a relationship where you’re doubting whether you could do better?

Being alone isn’t as bad as you think. As long as your standards aren’t high, you shouldn’t lower them for anyone. Not for the members who are you to down. Not for the guy you kind of like but wish treated you better. Keep your standards high. Otherwise your is going to lower. (thoughtcatalog.com) 💙🧿
