7 magical principles for a better life
"It's a kind of magic. One dream one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be"
1. Love yourself- take care of the inner and the outer
Taking good care of yourself is the first and most crucial principal. It's our responsibility to make ourselves content, happy, to take care of our bodies and the most crucial- to keep our inner self sound and clean. This includes cleaning our thoughts, working out, acquiring new skills, building nurturing relationships and give our selves time and space for work, communication, growth, play, relaxation and love!
2. Remove the clutter!
To achieve harmony it's important to declutter our lives! Try to remove everything that you don't need and everything that doesn't add any value in your life and makes it stressful. Sometimes less is more. Minimalism is crucial to physical and mental fitness. Having too many stuff, things to do and people in your life doesn't always mean that all of these things are necessary or make your life better in any way. If something-or someone is bothering you constantly or is causing you stress...just...
Many times we keep stuff, people or even we keep living in the same cluttered routine out of fear what's beyond that.
ABOUT YOUR HOME
"Have nothing in your home that is not either beautiful or useful.
If you don't love it, or use it- loose it"
Having a clean home, having only what you need or use, helps you better attain peace of mind. This advice is especially crucial nowadays, when we tend to buy so many stuff- some of them completely unnecessary. Controlling the stuff you buy helps you in two very important directions- keeps your life beautiful, simple, with no chaos and saves you money. If it sounds good to you- apply!
Cluttering your home with stuff makes it less beautiful, less practical, much more difficult to clean (which means more time, energy or money) and the same goes for any other possession.
ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLE
Do you have friends/acquaintances that drain your energy, or demotivate you, or people that don't add any value in your life whatsoever...? I will not give you an advice about that. However, have in mind that you always have the option to make some space and time in your life for people who'll have an equal relationship with you. People that will receive from you and give to you.
INCOMING INFO
Declutter your life from unnecessary information. Here and there it can be relaxing to talk about stuff that are not useful for you. However, filling personal time with gossip, news and what is happening to other people- will not leave you time and space to have a rest, or grow or do the things you love.
3. Be grateful
It's important to look around and than for everything you have...and why not for everything that you don't have. Instead of just wanting more and more all the time it is like a balsam for the soul to just sit back for a while and be thankful.
4. Be nice
If you're not being nice, you can't have a sense of confidence. Nobody likes a mean person. So don't be mean- because most probably you won't like yourself and others also won't like you! Just saying! :)))
5. Make a change
Figure out what YOU want- and make it happen.
6. "Don't complain and don't explain"
It's like a sport to some people- to complain and point out the worst. This drops drastically your quality of life and helps you perceive every situation worse than it actually is. Focus on solutions, rather than problems.
7. Play!
Literally! Boost your mood, health, creativity and desire for life with play!
I'll close today's post with one of my favorite quotes (I think it's still in style today- at least it suits me):
"In life there's time for work and time for love. That doesn't leave any other time!" COCO CHANEL
