Happiness is letting go of what you assume your life is supposed to be like right now, and sincerely appreciating it for everything it is. So, RELAX. You are enough. You have enough. You do enough. Inhale, exhale… let go, and just live right now in the moment. If you can fix a problem, fix it. If you can’t, then accept it and change your thoughts about it. When you are lost in worry, it is easy to mistake your worries for reality, instead of recognizing that they are just thoughts. Most of the time the problem is not the problem, the problem is the incredible amount of over-thinking and over-analyzing you’re doing with the problem. Pause, and breathe, again. We realise how much nonsense we’ve wasted time on. So, just do your best right now to rise above the petty drama that doesn’t really matter.
THE EFFECT OF KINDNESS ON WELLBEING
"Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness in your heart"
October 26 was a special day. After several months, we finally had the full complement of students at Frankston High School from Year 7 right through to Year 12 together once more! There are likely to be mixed emotions: some of us will freely talk about how we feel, whereas others may not. Please take a moment and look around you, and remember that a nod, a smile and a kind word goes a long way to make someone's day better. Acts of kindness are linked to increased feelings of wellbeing. Helping others can also improve our support networks and encourage acceptance. Research suggests that being happy, being kind and doing the right thing, may not only be compatible but also reciprocal. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0051380
Confidence and Believing in Oneself - 31 Days of Self Love
Being critical of ourselves is often embedded in our beliefs. Ask yourself:
- Am I open to change?
- Who are my role models?
- How do I view and treat others?
- Who are the people I gravitate to?
- Am I kind to myself?
- How often do I compliment myself for a job well done?
- Do I like the ‘person’ that I am?
Learning how to believe in yourself is critical to creating the life you desire. If you wish to achieve a high level of confidence, you need to take the steps to be more confident.
- Realise it starts with you
- Face your fears
- Remember past successes
- Get inspired
- Create goals
- Learn a new skill
- Learn to respect yourself
- Never give up
