What can we do to make this world a better place?

Hello dear friends!

We all strive to change, to make the world a better place. The world is contently changing. It can be scary and it is, with never stopping wars. scarcity, new viruses, etc. We all have our inner challenges. We have so much to deal with. parenting, older parents, work/business, spousal relationships ,even  pets can be problematic and cause anxiety to us. So how do we deal with all that? How do we deal with World problems, family problems, our own problems? Where do we send our attention and energy? What is there to do? Do you find yourself wide awake in the middle of the night thinking of any or all of it? It's the worst demon that takes our sleep. How do we manage and stay sane? 

Breathe! Breathe in and out. Nothing is under control. Relax Send your attention right into gratitude. It might not be easy for untrained mind It does take practice. It takes discipline. Those demons are super rude and will try to interrupt your peaceful conversation. Stop them right there! Like you would stop a rude child, immediately! And repeat any time you need to. You must! Otherwise you are raising a monster, We love our kids and having a rude child is simply unacceptable! So, we work hard to make well behaved polite and well meaning kids, even if they rebel (and they are). Now, repeat all that to your anxious thoughts You must! Otherwise they will eat you alive! No, you don't need to  solve all of the world problems in the middle of the night. That to do list - if you are awake, you can be productive and actually make it in writing, it's not going anywhere, it's written and soon enough you will be satisfied to check all of it off. But do start with gratitude. Instead of thinking what's wrong, think of every little thing that is right. About all of the blessings, big and small.  Write them down. It's OK to use nighttime hours creatively. If you using your passion for life, you will need less time for sleep and not be affected by it. 

Your New Year's resolution? 

What is it? 

Start small or big. But do start. All you need is a decision. A decision to change your life. A decision to make a better version of yourself. There, you are actually changing the world. Change always starts with us. Don't be too serious, have fun with the process. There is no failure. Get up and do it again. It's life. It's full and much bigger than we could ever imagine. What drives you? What areas in your own personal life would you like to change? A little enhancement, or a total makeover? Sometimes we need to rebuilt and start from scratch. All is right. You can always change your plan. Just start. It such an exciting process. This process is life itself, constantly creating. 

Love yourself, you're beautiful. - IdleHearts

I hope I made you smile. I would love to hear your story. I'll share my story with you too. 

As for now, please breathe in and breathe out. Smile. Count your blessings! You are loved and supported. Please know that. Life loves you. Please look in the mirror and smile. Don't wait for the mirror to smile first. Start with yourself. It's magical. It works. Always works. We just forget sometimes and let the demons fill in. The good thing, we all remind each other to remember. TO remember who we are. Oh, if we could only realize the beauty and potential. I see that. Don't be too harsh on yourself. We all have that beautiful essence. That essence is just buried under so many layers. Layers of guilt, shame, doubt, distrust, jealousy. greed. Every time we fall, we automatically put a layer on. There is another way. With an open heart and trust, we don't have to hide under all those layers. Being vulnerable, seeing the opportunity to change and learn instead. It's so beautiful. Start right there. Breathe. Put that beautiful dress on, for no reason. For yourself. Use that special china. Candles. Lipstick.  Perfume. Get flowers. Go outside and admire the nature. Yes, it's grey and cold, but did you see those bare trees? Look at them! Magnificent raw beauty! Once you see them, your life will never be the same. 

And, yes, change starts at home. Change starts right in the kitchen. We are here for you. We can help with the best ingredients. With the best purpose. To make this world a better place. To heal. To preserve and uncover the best.
