5 practical ways to to turn towards gratitude and make healthier choices

Our language reflects our thoughts and our thoughts and words shape our future experiences. Grateful people use words like gifts, blessed, fortunate and blessings whereas less grateful people are more inclined towards words like burdens, deprivation and complaints.

The “real” problem is not connecting with yourself and not loving yourself

When you treat yourself with respect and even love, you will find that you have a sense of peace of being truly present to your own life. You will treat yourself the way you treat your children or loved ones- with love, kindness and respect.

CONNECTION- making yourself available

We often overlook the fact that what affects one is bound to affect us all even if we are on the other side of the earth.

It is what gives us our lives meaning and purpose and makes us feel safe and secure.

It is not conducive to noticing and enjoying the simple joys that are present in our lives only if we pay attention to them.

What you can control (and why you should let go of the rest)

What I find is that most people struggle to let go of a need to control what they really cannot and this makes them miserable. Letting go does not mean losing the knowledge we have gained from the past. The knowledge of the past stays with us.

WISDOM of your body- working WITH and not against your body

By paying attention to what our bodies are trying to tell us (without judgement), we can learn much more than we can ever imagine- indeed, the messages and the mysteries that it holds can be life saving. Unfortunately, most modern societies do not really encourage this.

What’s on your mind? (not your plate)

In times of uncertainty and chaos, it becomes very easy for us to comfort ourselves using food. We all do it from time to time especially when we are in need of comfort. However, it becomes an issue only if we are unaware of this and stuffing ourselves with food becomes our default coping mechanism.
