I am thankful for the little things in life the most beautiful sunset ever or seeing a hummingbird in the garden. Find 3 perfect books in a gift box, or buy a $3 dress at a thrift store.
Our society, the media, etc. are constantly telling you “you need this to be happy, buy it then you'll feel better”, etc., for me that's nonsense, you need so little to lead a happy life, I think it's the most important that you are at peace with yourself.
We need most of what we buy and don't even own it, it might be told by society that it's like this so that we can continue to live on the hamster wheel, different money to buy even more stuff that we don't have to need in reality. Most things are in the corner after 2 weeks anyway, or we quickly lose interest in them. Because we have something new again. It is only for a short moment that the shopping experience makes us happy.
And even if we need an item, there are still alternatives to buying new, the world is so littered with clothes, electronic devices, etc. We live, at least in the western world, in consumption and throwaway society, it's terrible. I've been buying most things used for years...furniture, clothes, electrical appliances...I might make an exception for underwear and socks 😉
For example, in 2018 I gave up all of my furniture and moved to my boyfriend at the time, with just my clothes, a few memorabilia, and a chest of drawers. Many said I was crazy, but it freed me so much, that I never missed anything. With the most minimalist way of life, my life has become a bit more light. I have gotten this till today the clothes I don’t wear I quickly throw out, mostly just exchange them for new ones at a second-hand shop or the flea market.
I think it's important to keep in mind what you need in life and what you're grateful for, I regularly write this in my diary, I have the feeling it has a positive effect on my life.
I have decided to live more consciously, more healthily over the next few weeks, which means for me, drinking less alcohol, eating less meat, meditating a lot, I would now like to meditate every day in the morning and evening, I want to see how far that affects me and life affects.
Also don't pick up the smartphone too often, don't look at the screen so much. I'd rather sit on a stairway in the garden and watch the lizards, that relaxes me more and doesn't dumb me off so much 😉
Do sports and work to concentrate on my goals.
It is important to have a clear mindset.
It helps me a lot to write down my thoughts, I also write every 2nd one in my diary, just whatever comes to my mind. I am also a strong believer in the law of attraction, I believe that we can attract anything we desire in our lives. Our words and our thoughts create our reality. I sometimes write things down as if they have already happened and are already a reality.
I think we can manifest anything we think possible.
I've always taken life easy, never thought too much about the future or got caught up in fears, that just block you, I've always been right great basic trust that everything will be fine and come as it should. This is in one situation easier than in others, but it is important to think positively.
one should not take life too seriously, dare to do things, realize one's dreams NOW, live in the now, and enjoy life
I also think it's important to always gain new experiences and not to have too much routine in life, I love change and I'm not the type for years of routine, I think that keeps you young and fresh in the head.
Live life what you do want to lead, in the end, you will regret not having done it.
