Morning Routines

I came across this article and found it very uplifting. I hope you also find it helpful. I am grateful that I found this article. Enjoy it🥰

SAVERS – THE ACRONYM FOR AN AWESOME MORNING ROUTINE

His Miracle Morning routine uses the acronym SAVERS to help you remember it. It stands for:
  • S – Silence. (Meditation, prayer, deep breathing, a gratitude practice, etc.)
  • A – Affirmations (Positive statements that reaffirm the things you want to feel, do, achieve, or be as though you already are/have/feel/are doing those things in present tense. More on that in a bit.)
  • V – Visualization (Taking the affirmations a step further and visualizing them in as much detail as possible. This can include a vision board, written descriptions, mental visualization, etc.)
  • E – Exercise (Moving your body in some way–yoga, stretches, running, HIIT workouts, walking, etc.)
  • R – Reading (Something uplifting. Could be a fun novel, self-improvement books, business books, scripture or sacred texts, etc.)
  • S – Scribing (Writing in some way – journaling, gratitude practice, writing a book, writing thank you cards/emails, writing down intentions, etc.)
The whole routine doesn’t have to be done in order (you can mix and match however you like). It also doesn’t have to take long (He even outlines a 6 minute version!). Whether I have 6 minutes or 60 minutes, I’ve found it’s a great way for me to start the day on a positive, uplifting note. I LOVE it.


Please share with us your morning routine. We would love to hear from you,

Loving your self

Recently life has been tough, and sometimes when things seem harsh, there is a tendency of forgetting to take care of ourselves.   People find that when we start taking care of our needs, for example, loving ourselves, we start feeling better ourselves and the people around us.

So why not start by:
1. Doing the thing that makes you laugh
2. Treat yourself or surprise yourself
3. celebrate little achievements
4. treat your spirit and soul, for example, go out for a walk and enjoy the nature
5. leave according to your values
6. having "me time" and do whatever make you feel good.

Louise Haye is one of the personal development gurus who know very well about what "loving yourself" means. Please take a few minutes and enjoy watching the video. I am sure this will make your day.

Life - Just Like a Game of Ludo
Did I hear you say "Life is dicey"? Living life is like casting dice in a game of Ludo. A die has different faces but you only need one face to start your game; a six (6). Once you start, you can no longer predict the faces you display when you throw; maybe 1,2,3,4 or 5. You just play with whatever you have whether it moves your token to the finish square safely or it drags along, whether it takes you far or slows you down.
To Improve The Quality Of Your Life, Focus On Getting Better
Do you want to improve your life? Are you committed to changing your conditions? Many people will answer yes to these questions, though it is my experience very few people are dedicated to improve their life.
When Your World Comes Crashing Down
Sometimes life hits us between the eyes and delivers an unexpected turn of events. The shock and resultant impact can make us question why it's happened. Have we been bad, is it karma, do we deserve this? The answer is often a resounding 'no'. It is what it is, nothing more or less than that. But, nonetheless, we have to deal with it and recover.

Optimism and Thoughtlessness Are Not Synonyms
Optimism is a concept that exists in every culture in the world, a word used by almost every human being, in spite of which, no two people understand it the same way.

Stop Wishing For A Better Life And Embrace The One You Have Now
Let's be truthfully honest: Are you happy with your life or do you wish things were different? For example, how would a life coach evaluate it? Would they make adjustments here and there or give you their sign of approval? Sometimes we allow our negative emotions to get in the way of what life is trying to tell us.
When Your Present Life Isn't Working

More Than Fluff
Although self-improvement is always good, the market for it is flooded now with so many authors and speakers who have become wealthy by saying words to make you feel good but amount to a bunch of fluff, with no real content. Be prepared for hard work and a few bumps along the way.

I want to reassure you that every choice we make is made with the awareness and level of consciousness available to us at the time.

But it does not stop there. He chose to make us His inheritance, this is how much value we have to Him; He calls us His glorious inheritance, and He sees riches and triumph and delight in having us come one day and live in His presence so that He can enjoy us. WOW, that is mind Boggling, I get dizzy just thinking about it.

Why The Credit Always Belongs To The Man In The Arena Who Dares Greatly
Sadly, critics are everywhere these days and hide behind their uncertainties wishing they were in the limelight. They are not only people but the inner critic within us.

Can you identify with this narrative of the unassuming critic?
Why The Obstacle Before You Is Never Bigger Than Your Power To Overcome It
The reason you fear obstacles is that you doubt your ability to overcome them. Obstacles are seldom the problem, it is our lack of power to conquer them that gets in the way. For example, have you faced a difficult situation in the past and worried you would not make it through? Recall the circumstances and how you felt as best you can. Now fast forward months from when it occurred and call to mind the same situation from a renewed perspective. Can you see how insignificant it seems from your current outlook? That is, we feel incapable of overcoming challenges instead of believing we will be ok. Perhaps it's the element of surprise or the fear we are powerless to face the problem that scares us most.
