Take A Breathe

By Seven • October 30, 2015

Success stories are told, secrets are shared, motivators have been teaching us life lessons and a lot of us still don't get to our goals. This, is what I see.

Now, I know something which maybe won't work out for you, but still. If you are here, it's because you are searching for inspiration and I want you to think about the fact that there is nothing more inspirational than your own life ! You don't believe it ? Try this:

Close your eyes, take a deep breathe and think about at least 3 things that made you feel happy today.

Repeat this process at the end of the day when you are alone in your bedroom. Don't open your eyes until you haven't mentioned this 3 things.

If you manage to do this quickly, try to increase the number of 3 to 5 things.

This little game is very interesting. The first time I tried this, I unfortunately couldn't name one thing at all ... that made me feel very sad. So, I decided to pay attention whenever something made me smile or whenever I appreciated something...and guess what, I started live my life in a more conscious way. Let me explain.

Life is short. Really short. We are tired of hearing it, I know... But seriously, life gets really interesting when you are attentive. Focus on what people tell you, what they do, what nature does, how the things are made, read between the lines, try to understand what the other people think, vizualise yourself in different situations, travel with your mind... and soon you will discover how the simplest things make you go to bed with joy because you lived your day fully. I simply am tired of living without taking any outcome of it. I don't care about my goals anymore (don't get me wrong), I fell in love with the process! I prefer the journey itself because it's now, I can enjoy it right now. My goals, only God knows if I reach them one day, but if I'm more focused on my work than on my goals...isn't it obvious to get to them anyway? I will let you decide. Much love for you guys. Take a breathe, open your eyes. It's time to live.
