Welcome to my blog to share my experiences and things I am learning during my journey to better wellbeing
All in Optimism
My initial dramatic reaction to breaking a bone in my ankle got me thinking about how we need to see the positives when something unexpected happens to stop us in our tracks. in this blog I think of some of the reasons why i shouldn’t dwell on the negative and try to look on the bright side…
A happiness jar is a great way to focus on positive thoughts and things that make you happy - then you can look back on all the notes you added at the end of the year and realise what a fabulous year it was! Mine already has some entries for this week and hoping it will overflow soon
This New Year let’s try not to put more pressure on ourselves - we have enough to contend with. Rather than having high expectations and risk disappointment, I am going to lower my expectations and am making a few pledges to help me get through the current challenges instead of adding new ones.
It’s the first day of December which means we start the official count down to Christmas. Why do we seem to always be counting down to something and does this go against the concept of living in the moment which is supposed to be so good for us? Particularly this year when many of our things to look forward to have had to extend slightly more than we would have hoped.
