themes for the next six months
1. stop living in peopleâs perceptions of me. donât fall into other peopleâs frames because you lack clarity of your own. look inward at your friends, family, who youâre aroundâ are they contributing things to your identity that youâre taking as truth? or is it your mind doing it? understand your core beliefs and get to know yourself better so you have a full grasp on who you are. spend all the alone time with yourself so you donât trap yourself in other peopleâs perceptions of you because of the fact that you donât know who you are. once you develop a sense of self and start building up that confidence, youâll start to live for yourself and not others.
2. recognize when people give you bad energy or anxiety or make you feel bad about yourself. donât give your attention to people who give you bad energy...it will lead to emotional and physical fatigue. spend time with people who care about you and make you feel good. these are the kinds of people that youâre never left wondering how they feel about you or where you stand. sometimes our own ego gets in the way and we find ourselves saying âwhy is this person treating me this way?â you opened the door for them and you can close it too. donât chase someone because your ego demands an answer.
3. being present: get out of your mind. the past and the future canât be controlled. be here in the now. focus on showing gratitude for what the circumstances are in the present moment. take the time to realize that you are going to have to create happiness for yourself. people only bring short term pleasure. you have to stop attaching happiness to people, things, places, outcomes. happiness is only what youâre experiencing consciously; itâs a state of mind.
4. mindfulness: acknowledging the thoughts in your mind. are they anxious? are they in the future? are they in the past? are they important? do you actually care about what your thinking about? half the time, no.
5. yoga every morning to connect to the present moment. exercise is important, it directly affects your mental health. go on a walk, get out into nature, & disconnect from social media. Itâs okay to log off and take as much time as you need for yourself and your own healing. you arenât missing out on anything and it will all still be here once you come back.
6. intention: focusing on who you are in the present moment, recognizing your core values to raise your emotional energy, which then raises your physical energy. shadow work = taking the issue and start the flow charts until it takes you back to your core issue of why you feel the way you do. take a closer look inward and examine why you care about the issue and why you are bothered. Itâs not the personâs issue, âitâs why do I care and why am I bothered?â something within needs to be acknowledged, worked through, and healed from.
7. letting go: letting life take you as you go. the biggest causes of suffering are attachment, desire, people, things, identities, outcomes, ect. when we attachâ we create resistance. we make something that is not us; us. realize that you can fill your own cup. you donât need another person to make you feel good. youâre attributing your happiness to others, when really itâs within. all reflection on the outside is a reflection on the inside. the only thing you can control is yourself. life is going to have hard moments and itâs going to have good moments but you canât attach to either of them. keep accepting, learning, and enjoying the journey. In order to grow, you have to let go.
8. eating whole foods from the earth and foods that promote gut health and glowing skin: almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, spinach, kale, arugula, avocados, carrots, broccoli, berries, papaya, pineapple, cantaloupe, ginger, garlic, lemons, yellow peppers, red peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, artichokes, asparagus, quinoa, turmeric, grapefruit, green tea, coconut water, and dark chocolate.
