Be What You Be

  Be What You Be -  

We are loving this song and the little 

reminder that all you have to be is you. 

Stop trying and just be what you be, in all that you are...

  

Positivity
I spent the afternoon creating positivity boards with a mental health group today, and thought I would share it. Positive and creative visualisation is used by a number of people, including athletes who regularly use it to enhance their performance. It's a way to focus the mind on what you would like, how you would like to feel, what's important to you, where you see yourself going etc. 
One of the hardest things in life is knowing what you want or what makes you happy, so taking some time to think about this is a powerful way to help you achieve it. How are you meant to get what you want unless you know what it is you want? And how are you meant to be happy unless you know what it is that makes you happy?!! Creating something visual and tactile also helps to make this seem a little more real, and gives you something to keep focusing on. If you haven't already, try it!!

An Unexpected Journey

I just got back from an amazing trip to Peru, walking the Inca Trail and then exploring the wonderful country. As always, when I travel I am reminded of how life just flows into place when you are open to situations, don't worry about them and just let them happen, and also slightly amused by the unexpected way that journeys tend to unfold! Ironically, on the plane journey home I was able to watch The Hobbit: an unexpected journey, which left me with a few little quotes I think are worth remembering:

 “Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!"

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”  

and finally, my favourite 

“Where there's life there's hope.”

tomorrow

loving this song, with the perfect little message.... 
'so while you wait for the sun to rise again, think of us dancing in the rain'
I saw a quote along these lines at a center I was teaching at the other day, and hearing it in the song today confirmed to me... sometimes you just have to dance in the rain, and maybe even jump in the puddles ;-) 

Happy New Year!! For obvious reasons, it's always a good time to start a fresh, make new goals/aims/resolutions and put the last year behind you. 

These words just seemed like a simple reminder of the best way to do this... sometimes you may even want to let go of the last book and pick up a whole new one!!
