Tuesday is here. An in-between day.
Maybe you’re tired or bored today. Or maybe focused and ready to get your day started.
I think you’ll find something helpful among these powerful Tuesday blessings, images and quotes no matter what headspace you’re in right now.
Something to give your new energy, motivation, positivity or maybe an insight to turn your day around.
When you fall or stumble then the default for many is to be hard on yourself.
To push yourself forward again. Or to not make the same mistake in the future.
Being tough on oneself is a common strategy in many situations but I have over the years found that being kind to yourself works even better.
Why?
“In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer.”
Albert Camus
“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
Anne Bradstreet
Up here in Sweden the winter is dark, cold and often comes with a mix of rain and snow.
And spring is still far away.
It is not easy to keep the energy and optimism up like in the bright and warm summer days.
So today I’d like to share 7 habits I use that make it a lot easier to stay positive even throughout this dark and often grey season.
“Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.”
Benjamin Franklin
One very common question I’ve gotten over the years goes something like this:
“I always get nervous before a date/meeting/social gathering and that holds me back from being my true and best self and from doing and getting what I want. What can I do to overcome this?”
This is an issue that used to hold me back in the past and I’ve more experience with it than I would have ever wanted.
Back when I was still single I often got quite nervous before a date.
And before that, when I didn’t have a date at all in a long time, I got nervous before most social situations.
It was no fun.
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot
Getting started with doing what you deep down want to do in life can be hard.
No matter if what you want is to start exercising, create your own business on the side, write a book, see other parts of the world, improve your relationship with yourself or something entirely else.
But often we make getting started a lot harder than it needs to be by standing in our own way.
So today I’d like to share 3 things you need to stop doing to step out of your own way and make it so much easier to actually get started instead of just keep dreaming about it.
Sometimes we get lost in negative thoughts.
About what went wrong. About what we lack. And about the less fun parts of life at this time.
If you’re in such a place today – or just want to start or finish your day in a positive way – then I hope these 75 blessed quotes will help you out.
And open your eyes, shift your perspective to all the small and bigger good things and blessings you still have in your life.
