Happy Monday! What a beautiful weekend we had, we are all feeling very grateful and excited for the warmer months ahead of us.
In every day we can find ourselves confronted with a person, idea or situation that doesn’t sit well with us or goes against our values. Our natural response can often be defensive or that we get our guard up and brace ourselves for an argument. However what if instead of letting that person or thing disrupt your happiness we could just learn to let it go?
One concept that relates well to this is the idea of your ‘Key’. Motivational speaker John Kehoe speaks about it in his books on ‘Mind Power’. The key is that which is within you that motivates and allows you to navigate your life with intention and purpose. It is the power within you that enables you to achieve amazing things.
Now when we let other people demotivate us or derail us we are giving them our ‘key’ thus giving them the power over our lives and the way that we interact with the world. Instead, what we can do is bolster ourselves and prepare for situations that may cause us to feel disconnected or disempowered. Practices that can help us are mediation, journalling, yoga, or even just running or doing a task mindfully. Allowing yourself time and space to mentally prepare a mindset of calm will enable you to confront those moments with a clearer mind and intention. This adds power to your experiences and allows you to be more steadfast in your approach.
Remember that you are a powerful individual with an incredible life to lead. Don’t let the petty thoughts and intentions of others distance you from that!
We hope you have a glorious week ahead of you,
Much Love,
