6 Questions to Reconnect You to the Good You Forgot (and Make You Thankful Again)

It is said that we can retain only four pieces of information active in our conscious working memory at one time. With the 50,000 plus thoughts running through our brain each day, and many of those negative, it’s a challenge to remember the things good we have to be thankful for.

Life’s problems and challenges can start weighing you down pretty quickly. This is why the daily habit of pausing to recall at least three things we’re grateful for has such a powerful effect on our happiness and wellbeing.

Could Your Self-Talk Be Literally Killing You or Your Dreams

As an English teacher, working around children tends to put me in contact with all of their little germs. I had to put in some extra time teaching and all I could think about was not getting sick and fearing that I would, and the negative self-talk started.

Sure enough, I feared a fear and it came upon me, and I was pretty messed up. But then I remembered my secret weapon, yep positive self-talk. We have so much control and power through the mind. — A little extra garlic and vitamin treatment sure helped, too.

How To Challenge Your Problem and Stop Feeling Stuck In Life

Sometimes family presents us with incredible joy and sometimes we just feel stuck and in pain. Do you have a marriage situation you just can’t get out of, or are you nursing a child through an illness you just can’t beat? No one enjoys feeling stuck in life.

I remember sharing a video about a woman who lost her legs to a sudden disease. Stories like that, where a person comes through and has an amazing life, in spite of circumstances can be inspiring, but what about our own situations? – Less extreme? Perhaps, but just as challenging and possibly even more painful to live with.

What Moves You To Give a Hoot?

Have you been told, “You have to give”? The religion I grew up with was very emphatic about it. You’ve probably heard it has to be a certain percentage of your income and that, if you don’t give, God will not bless you.

Sometimes those asking for your money or your time are not deserving of it. And there are those that definitely take unfair advantage of this, but at the same time you will find that the need to give or contribute in some way to others is a need you have deep inside. Discover what moves you to give and give from your heart.

Why Being Okay Is Actually Destroying Your Personal-Growth

Being okay with our bodies is a big topic these days. Have you seen the posts with beautiful overweight women? In some cases they are praised for having strong self-esteem and being proud of the their natural body.
