Make time be alone and let your mind run — especially in nature.

Many highly sensitive people need alone time, and it’s crucial for rebuilding this bond with your intuition, too. It’s necessary to get time and space away from others’ perceptions of the world in order to feel your own. 

And the best place for alone time? Outdoors. Research shows that spending time in nature is highly beneficial — there is something about spending time among trees, water, and mountains that echoes your innate rhythm and helps you reconnect with a deeper part of yourself. 

*******************************************

Our intuition is guided by our unconscious mind; we “just know” that something is good or bad for us. Or maybe that something is going to happen (good or bad).

Premonition is a strong feeling that something is about to happen, especially something unpleasant.

I have experienced both, always have.

A few days ago, we were driving on a single lane forest road. A blind corner was ahead, he was driving fast. I had a strong feeling came to me that something was out of sight. We rounded the corner....and OMG, there were 2 small girls riding bicycles in the middle of the road. This is what I experience.

I have had many strange dreams recently. I am careful, what is going to happen. I just had three bad things happen...???

Looking For The Bright Side

 You can't change what has happened

in your ife, but you can choose 

how to deal with it.

Only you can choose your 

mood.

Toxic Family

 

Toxic family members rarely apologize. They would rather carry their denial to the grave than face the damage they have caused.

In their minds, the pain they created was somehow your fault.

Sometimes healing means accepting the apology that you will never get.

 

Old Memories

 

Do you have great memories from being a kid, and fun with your friends? Can you go to these places,and think about all the fun you had. Do you have lasting friendships from back then?

I have thinking about these things recently. The old man has all of these things.

Then I thought about being a kid. I have none of these experiences.

I have one place with memories, those things are very special for me. Where? The farm where my mother was from...the relatives and my cousins.

It is a sad commentary about the life of a military child. We moved every year...I went to a different school yearly.

Still, these things are how I became my own strong person.

Something to think about....

Keep a Good Attitude

Written by Marc Chernoff

Patience isn't about waiting, it's the ability to keep a good attitude while working hard for what you believe in.

As you move through the days and weeks ahead, remind yourself that it takes roughly 66 days to form a new habit. So for the next nine and a half weeks, consciously leverage the actionable reminders below to look at the brighter side of your life, and you will gradually rewire your brain…

1. Start steadying yourself with simple rituals.

When life feels like an emotional roller coaster, steady yourself with simple rituals. Make the bed. Water the plants. Rinse off your own bowl and spoon. Simplicity attracts calmness and wisdom.

2. Start filtering out the noise in your life.

Be careful about who you give the microphone and stage to in your life. Don’t just listen to the loudest voice every day. Listen to the truest one.

3. Start choosing differently for your own well-being.

A big part of your life is a result of the little choices you make every day. If you don’t like some part of your life, it’s time to start tweaking things and making better choices in the days and weeks ahead.

4. Start being a little more productive than you are busy.

There’s a big difference between being busy and being productive. If you’re going to put in some work between now and the end of the year, don’t confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but never makes any forward progress. In other words…

5. Start dedicating time every day to small, meaningful steps.

If you only have fifteen minutes to spare, no problem — make those fifteen minutes meaningful. Focus on taking one small step forward in the right direction. And even when the struggle is real, remind yourself that it always feels better to be exhausted from taking a small and meaningful step forward, than it does to be tired of doing absolutely nothing.

6. Start moving toward things, not away from them.

The best way to move away from something negative is to move toward something positive.

7. Start doing what’s right, even if it’s not the easiest option.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s worth your while. Do what’s right, not what’s easiest right now. It’s a less stressful way to live in the long run.
