Want a better life? If yes, consider some simple actions to take towards this, even if they’re tiny. Some suggestions. Reflect on what would improve your life. With this information, what small action can you take this week towards it. Just thinking about actions gets the mind thinking.  Changing the past isn't possible but learning from it is. If a past event comes to mind that you’d wished gone differently. Ask yourself: What could I have done differently. Possibly spoke with a softer voice. Taken a few deep breaths before responding. And if it isn’t a good time say something like hey, we’re here to have some fun, lets table this for now and talk about it at another time. We can’t go back and change things but we can learn from it and handle it differently.

With some inspiration from a dear group of ladies, the word “flow” came up. So I'm visualizing "riding the flow" around any blocks to my 2023 dreams. Choose a word or phrase to inspire and guide you towards your wants this year. Don't let blocks stand in the way, use the word or phrase to connect with your dreams and visualize it guiding you through your best year ever.

Remember to spend time in this feeling to fuel your passion to experience this dream or goal completed.

Then I tell myself to pull on my big girl pants and look for the next step or direction to take. When You Face A Failure, How Do You Move On?  Photo by Victor on Unsplash Have you ever noticed seeing the areas lacking more than the areas of improvement when doing a task? This has come up for me. Taking the blinders off and broadening the view is helpful. It opens the door to see the growth and great parts done as well as seeing areas to grow in. Seeing a fuller picture is helpful and inspiring.  Notice your inner dialogs. Would you say it to a friend? If the answer's “no” don’t say it to yourself. Speak kindly to yourself and remind yourself of your strengths.   This question got me thinking!
