The more energy and effort you create for this practice to grow within, the easier it becomes to live this. Self-encouragement is easy when good things come your way. Who are you when you struggle with work, relationships and all of life lands in your lap? Lifting yourself up and out of a disappointment or a fail is completely doable once you’ve trained your heart and mind to work together on seeking the learning and good in all – no matter the situation.
The process begins by noticing how you handle daily life encounters and conversations. Do you lean into negative thoughts that start with phrases like “should’ve, if only, why me?” Become your teacher – compassionately applying positives to counter negatives and notice any shift and change in attitude and thoughts going forward. Little by little over time will you find growth!
