Fragile Nature of Life!!! cherish every moment!!! No one leaves here alive, so please stop treating yourself as an afterthought. Eat well, exercise, walk in the sun, and enjoy your moment Recently, I got sick and I decided to book an appointment with my family doctor. To my shock, I received a notification saying, " Sorry, Dr. Peter died on 4th June 2024." I hadn't known. I found another doctor who had taken over his practice and I eventually got treated. The following day, I decided to go to work. My boss was surprised to see me and said, " why are you here? You were sick. Please go back home until you get better." He quickly called his driver to take me home. During the drive, the driver and I chatted about life. He shared his thoughts on how short and fragile life is, emphasizing that the line between life and death is very thin. " Today you are okay; Tomorrow you are sick or gone," he said. His words resonated deeply, reminding me to take life easy and appreciate the moment. Do not stress yourself about life. what Have I learnt from this; and a few reflections based on this experience 1. *Self-care is crucial*- Always take care of yourself, eat well, exercise, sleep and enjoy simple pleasures 2. *Life is Uncertainty* - The sudden death of Dr. Peter serves as a stark reminder that life is unpredictable 3. *Kindness and comppasion* - My boss response shows how important it is to have supportive environment---compassionate gestures, like sending me home to rest. 4. *Life is Ephemeral nature*- the conversation with the driver highlights a profound truth--- life is fleeting; this will help us focus on what truly matters, let go of unnecessary stress and embrace the joy of today. 5. *Enjoy the moment* - appreciate the small joy of life, Do not take life too seriously, instead find happiness in here and now. #Uncertaintyoflife #extendkindnesstoothers #ephemeralnatureoflife #selfcare

What would you do if you had a week left to live? Would you do that skydive you’ve always put off? Spend it with your family? What risks would you take knowing they pale in comparison with pending death? How different would it be from your typical week? I don’t mean to be all dark and depressing. I ask these questions from a place of love. And aspiration. It’s something my wife and I talked about in some depth when she was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of 2020 I realized my bucket is pretty full. And so did my wife. I do the things I want to do I don’t have to rush to squeeze lots in, because I live it every day. Every week. How full is your bucket? Are you living the life you want... The one you wouldn’t trade for anything? Are you thriving? Doing what you want when you want where you want how you want and with whom you want? Or are there some big gaps that you want to address before it’s too late Before you only have a week left to live? I’m going to state the obvious here because I’m not sure it’s that obvious to most. Life is for living... For creating moments, memories and impact For doing what you’re born to do For taking risks that excite AND scare you Discovering what you’re capable of. If YOU don’t want to wait for the one week warning to start living If you want to live a life you wouldn’t trade for anything Send me a DM. P.S. The more success you have, the more comfortable you are, the less likely you are to see what’s right in front of you #discoveryourcalling #yourprosperity

It wasn’t that long ago that I would say “I can’t run.” It wasn’t that long ago that I had resigned myself to being fat…oh wait…I was big boned…🤦 Ugh…the things we tell ourselves instead of getting real… The real truth was that I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready to face my addiction to food. I wasn’t ready to step out of the uncomfortable comfortableness that had become my life. I wasn’t ready to stand up to the bullies in my own head. Those are the worst kind of bullies because they don’t ever leave until you royally kick their ass…💪🏼 It’s not until life punches you in the face that true change can happen. For me it was the loss of my Mom. Watching her battle illness after illness…all preventable to a certain extent…that I swore I wouldn’t end up like that. I would not become a slave to the “sick care industry.” I would not allow myself to be treated with pills and shots and side effects that cause a myriad of other issues. I vowed to make a change in 2021 and here I am almost 3 years later still striving for that same goal…optimal health. I didn’t just choose to lose weight, I chose to change my life…because let’s be honest…losing a ton of weight doesn’t magically change our life! It’s what we choose to do after we lose the weight that matters. Anyone can lose weight…if they set their heart and mind and body to that goal. Yes…I said anyone because I was that anyone who said he couldn’t…yet he did…and so can you! Never ever did I think I’d run, let alone a 5k, let alone train for more. But I’m a more kinda guy I want more for myself. I want more for my clients. I want more for my grandkids. I want more healthy time. I want more accomplishments that I never thought possible… What do you want more of??? ------------------------------------------- Now it's your chance to see the power of the Minimalist Method in transforming your life, mind and body.

Carl Jung said, "Even a #happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity." Helen Keller said, "We could never #learn to be #brave and patient, if there were only #joy in the world." Paulo Coelho said, "I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of #patience and to respect the fury of nature." Heraclitus said, "Good #character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and #patient effort is needed to develop good character." Joyce Meyer said, "Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting." Bahá’u’lláh defines "the course that is praiseworthy" as "the exercise of patience". I am realizing ever deeper this Morningside that Patience is not about holding one's breath nor biting one's tongue. It is about working and living daily that genuine walk and talk of being our best selves, while trusting all else will take care of itself, in time. #Stoicism would suggest that there is much in life over which we have no control, but for our response. It would also suggest Courage, Justice, Wisdom and Temperance in response. Patience invokes all of these. For the balance of this Year, I am personally going to dive into this superpower that is genuine Patience, in practice. My #health will benefit. My #work will benefit. My #life will benefit. Soren Kierkegaard said, "Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown." Patience grounds the sacred hunt. How about you? I humbly invite you to read and reflect on the Card below. How and where might this deeper #Understanding of Patience resonate?

Can’t believe I’m about to say this but...
 I’m a self-compassion teach, yet sometimes I’m not as nice to myself as I could be. I give myself shit, beat myself up, and stress myself out over nothing! I realized over the weekend just how much suffering I’ve caused myself mainly by worrying and not feeling good enough. Here’s what I did… I said the Ho’oponopono prayer to myself “I am sorry, Please forgive me, I thank you and I love you” I forgave myself for all the times I wasn’t as kind and supportive to myself as I could have been. Then I set an intention to show up everyday in a higher vibration - one of peace and acceptance. I doubled down on the self-love, self-care, and self-compassion. It’s a powerful way to rock your midlife because self-compassion, self-care, and self-love reduce stress and increase wellbeing For me it’s a life saving move because I have to keep stress, which causes inflammation, as low as possible to stay in remission. (I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.) What about you? Have you forgiven yourself lately? Give the prayer a try and then drop me a heart when you’re done. Have a wonderful week and be kind to your beautiful self. Listen to your inner Buddha: “You as much as anyone in the universe deserve your love and affection.” #midlifetips #mondayvibes #mondaywisdom #selfcompassion #selflove #selfcare #mentalhealth #selfcompassionjourney #mentalhealthawareness #healing #compassion #selfacceptance #silverhair #loveyourself #silversister #selfawareness #mentalhealthmatters #selfworth #wellness # #selflovejourney #motivation #healingjourney #breastcancersurvivor #youareenough #inspiration #bekindtoyourself

I’ve been unwell for a couple of weeks What started out as one problem led to another and another and I found myself under the weather for a prolonged period. As with all changes in life, when you are forced out of your routine, forced to slow down, perspicuity emerges from the pause. 1. The gift of good #health is cherished most by those who don’t have it - don’t take yours for granted 🎁 2. Your body has a life of its own and it’s humbling to realise you have little control over it - a lesson to respect it much more 🧬 3. The world carries on perfectly well without you. Only your loved ones really feel the difference - a reminder of where you truly do matter 💖 4. When you are ill, good doctors are like angels from heaven - white robes and all 🥼 5. A ”take care” message alone doesn’t show much care. You will know those who truly care - those are the ones that always checked in on you, good health or not. 🫂 6. The ones who sit around to entertain you when you are flat out and at your crabbiest worst - Those are the best ones 👯♀️ 7. Slowing down is the prime time when your mind decides to question if you are truly fulfilling your #purpose and path in life - don’t forget those answers when you get better 💡 8. An organisation that understands that illness is part of life and allows you space and time is special. Don’t however misuse the kindness your company extends🏢 9. To give thanks even when things are hard, to rejoice in the life that you do have, even when unwell, is to truly practise #gratitude. 🙏🏻 10. “Fear not; for I am with thee” Isaiah 43:5. The doctor treats but it is faith that heals. Pray. Believe. Surrender. 🧎♀️ If you’ve been troubled, unwell or living with a chronic illness, I wish you #healing and #hope. #selfawareness #consciousliving #coachinglife #lightalight #wellbeing #resilience

Delayed Life Syndrome 🙈   If a Spaniard says "Mañana!" (tomorrow), it will never happen🥴   Perhaps you will be familiar with the thought that now you are at an intermediate stage, but someday "real life" will come. Therefore, all cases are automatically postponed to "later".    Most likely, such beliefs come from childhood and we simply follow the example of our parents. But the fact is that that very life will not come, because it is passing right now at this moment. You shouldn't put everything off until "later", but you need to live here and now, enjoying the moment 🤗   How to do it?   ☝️ First of all, you need to realize the pattern   There is only a promise / desire / plan, but then nothing happens. Awareness is the first step to solving a problem.   ✌️And now you need to try to act today   🔸 Buy vacation tickets 🔸 Make an appointment 🔸 Visit a new place 🔸 Complete the scheduled, etc.   The main thing is to notice and work out a similar problem in yourself in time 😉 beautiful-street-view-cafe-with-empty-table-colorful-creative-bicycle-with-flowers-italian-flag-near-vintage-building-traveling-italy.jpg Скачать (13.12 Мб)
