How can you positively change your life without changing a single thing outside of you? You simply empower yourself with a growth mindset. First, accept what is. As the author of The Power of Now Eckhart Tolle often says, “We suffer when we do not accept the is-ness of things.” We truly do! If we are operating in resistance to what is or how things are, we are causing ourselves stress. Acceptance does not mean agreeing to stay forever in the current state if it is undesired. To bloom, you need to hold yourself accountable to accepting where you are now, allowing self-compassion to be your supporter, and making plans for where you would like to go.
How are you perceiving your situation? In order to bloom, you must be an appreciator rather than a depreciator. What this means is to appreciate what is working in your life and use this as a foundation for receiving more of that goodness in your life. Moving away from depreciation means to cease dwelling on negative thoughts, anger, disappointments, resentments, or even over-thinking what is not working in our lives. Appreciate anything and everything that is right in your life and allow this to be the energy that waters your growth, so that you may blossom, prosper, and thrive in this world!
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” ~ Wayne Dyer
