#2020vision Are you still thinking about what 2020 will be like? 🤔 Need a little push👇🏽 🌟Step 1: Take inventory. Creating a vision for yourself and your life first requires you to ask yourself "what it is that gives my life meaning, purpose, and joy?" Look to your talents. Look to your abilities. What makes you smile 😊the instant you think of doing it? It is not difficult to determine what your special ability, gift or interest is. Simply ask yourself: "What do I look forward to more than anything else in the world?" 🌟Step 2: Tap into your imagination. Now that you have decided to take action by creating a list of your talents, interests, and joy activities, it is time to form a vision around them. You do this by doing what every child on earth has the power to do at will: Simply use your imagination to create your reality! 🤩 Start dreaming of all of the ways in which you can spend your time doing what you love. Do not worry about making sense at this stage, just dream as if you were a child again. 🌟Step 3: Set your goals. Once you have decided what you want to do to create a better life for yourself by developing a vision, the next step is to set goals that will serve as stepping stones toward fulfillment of your vision. You can start setting these goals by asking yourself questions like: What do I want to accomplish in my life? What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind? What would I do if I had all of the money in the world? Make sure your short term goals are realistic and the rest – big! Be clear, meaningful, well defined, and make sure your goals EXCITE you! 🌟Step 4: Enjoy the journey and pay attention. As you begin a new day today, always keep in mind everything that you have written down and envisioned for your better future. Although you probably do not have the means to immediately jump into your goals and plans above, you can still start working towards a new reality by thinking of the outcomes while you are doing your best today.

🌟Positive thinking, self-growth, thinking yourself to success – so much has been said about these subjects, but is it really achievable? The truth is that the power of our minds to influence our actions cannot be underestimated. 🌟Not everybody believes or accepts the power of positive thinking. But there is undeniable truth that negative thoughts, words and attitudes bring up negative and unhappy moods and actions. Negativity breeds more negativity, a vicious, never-ending cycle that can only lead to failure, frustration and disappointment. 🌟Conversely, positive thinking will do the exact opposite; positive thoughts can only beget positive actions, leading to a happier, healthier, more successful life. So how do we move beyond positive thinking towards positive living? The first step is always to decide that you can be a more positive person. Many people cannot even move beyond this first step, coming up with all sorts of excuses (“I’m stuck in a lousy job”, “I’m never going to have a successful long-term relationship”, etc.) as to why they cannot be more positive. But, know this, no matter what your life is like, choosing to be more positive is entirely your choice to make...choose wisely ☺️ Olivia B.

Tips On Overcoming Anxiety: 1. Make sure to get enough sleep. When a person lacks enough sleep, he/she becomes even more prone to develop anxiety disorders. Sleep is really important to help the body rest and recharge for another busy day at work or at home. Frequent lack of sleep can heighten a person’s susceptibility to acquire anxiety disorders. 2. Maintain a regular exercise regimen. Exercise definitely has a lot of good effects in the body. It does not only make the body fitter, but it is also an effective therapy for anxiety conditions. Apart from regular exercises, aerobics and yoga are also perfect therapies to treat anxiety. 3. Munch on healthy meals and snacks. A healthy daily diet keeps a person from experiencing too much stress and anxiety. Hence, doctors always advice patients to include vegetables and fruits in their daily diet. 4. Avoiding drugs and alcohol. There are some people who think that alcohol and drugs can take away all their worries and problems. In fact, these only worsen a person’s anxiety condition. Instead of freeing one from anxiety, too much alcohol and medication consumption will most likely lead to addiction. 5. Seek emotional support from friends and family members. Sometimes, the only thing that can free a person from too much anxiety is to be around the people who can give strong emotional and spiritual support. If a person has a strong social support system, he is less likely to develop anxiety disorder and stress. 6. Try meditating. Many studies claim that meditation is a great way of reliving one’s stress and anxieties. Among the popular forms of meditation are walking meditation, transcendental meditation, and mindfulness. With the treatment’s ability to reduce anxiety, specialists recommend patients to enroll or join in meditation classes. 7. Try practicing relaxation techniques. Another good technique on overcoming anxiety is to practice relaxation routines. One of the most commonly practiced relaxation routines are visualization and breathing. These practices really help in reducing and even eliminating the feeling of anxiety. #wellness

Happy Wednesday, Are you being good to yourself??🤷🏽‍♀️ You should treat yourself as you'd treat other people. Do not be so hard on yourself. Chances are you wouldn't tell others that they're fat, ugly, lazy, dense, un-needed, and so forth. So don't verbally beat yourself up. You need to regard yourself as much as you respect other people. If you have a habit of putting yourself down now is the time to alter it. Substitute the damaging comments about yourself with favorable ones, even if all you are able to summon up is "I'm a good tooth flosser". 😁 Sooner or later the favorable comments will come easier and feel more earnest, and if you make it a habit you'll begin drowning out the damaging thoughts you have towards yourself. Center on the beneficial things in your life and begin to be good to yourself💕 XoXo Olivia B.
