The Law of Attraction.

I was lucky to be given this knowledge recently. I love this.

The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about.

You can change your life by changing the way you think.

Think positive. Life is amazing.

Positive thoughts. Positive actions.

It is so true that the way to make yourself happy is to make others happy. Today I bought a simple and basic gift for a friend to say thank you. The amazing feeling I had after giving it and watching the smile spread across her face was perfect. I then spent the rest of the day with a massive smile on my face :)

Australia.

I love Australia. I never truly understood how amazing our country was until I was away from it. I'm so eager to go home to experience and appreciate all of it's beauty.

My Grandma.

My Grandma is ahead her time. She has always known the beauty and amazement attached to yoga, tai chi, meditation, visualisation, the world, and the universe. She is incredible. She acknowledges that there is so much more out there than we will ever know. She believes in spirits, the afterlife, and old souls. She is my complete inspiration for life. I love that I have had her teach me all she knows.

Life advice.

There are a few bits of advice I have been told over the years that have seriously stuck in my head. I love that I can remember the exact time and place that I first heard these words.

When you dont want to go to the gym/run, just go for 10 minutes. After this your endorphines kick in and take over.

So true! Many times I have not been in the mood to go out for a run or go to the gym but I put myself on auto pilot and say that I am just going to go for 10 minutes, or just around the block... 30-60minutes later I am back home with a ridiculour smile on my face.

Do one thing a day that scares you.

This was from a manifesto of a popular sports clothing company. Countless times I have not wanted to do something because it was either scary, uncomfortable, and/or embarrassing and each time I can hear myself telling myself to do it anyway. It feels good to do something that scares you.

All you have in this world is your word.
This was explained to me by someone I had just met. They said, "I don't know you, all I know is what you do or don't do. If you say you will do something and you don't then all I can see is that you havn't kept your word. It doesn't matter what excuse/reason you had for not doing it, the only thing I see is that you didn't." "The positive spin to this is if you say you will do something and then you do, I can trust and admire you." The bottom line is, do what you say you will.

Do it now, do it now, do it now.
Another saying from the manifesto. If you don't do what you want now you may find it still on your to do list in 10, 20, 30 years time and it may be too late. Do it now! There is no time like the present.

When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
A quote from markandangel.com is self explanitory and stems towards the last two paragraphs I've written. Your life is now!

...and my absolute favourite

Nothing changes if nothing changes
Pure and simple. If you want to be something/someone different but don't change any of your habits, then you wont change. Or as Albert Einstein explained: Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again and explecting different results.

Notes/My memory.

I revised and compiled all of my many notes that I have made throughout this entire adventure. It was nice to see them all written neatly and clearly. I also like to see how much I truly have accomplished even when I felt like  had been drowning in "to do" lists and "remember" notes.

A little line that I found amusing and so true about myself was simply this:

I escape inside my head...

Scared.

I recently read a little motivational line which said:

"Do one thing a day that scares you."

I feel that I achieved that yesterday. I was scared to go and meet my neighbours as I become quite shy around new people. I'm scared of the initial walk in to a room full of new people. I'm scared I may run out of things to say. I'm scared I will say the wrong thing. I'm scared of what people may think of me. I know that this is something that I shouldn't be scared of, but I am working on getting better at it.

Anyway, I buckled myself all up and walked to their place with a glass of red in my hand (liquid courage was required this time) and knocked on the door..

I of course had nothing to worry about, they were so welcoming and lovely and we talked for hours and I know I have made some good friends out of the whole experience.

I smiled to myself as I lay down to sleep. I did one thing that scared me and the results were positive.

Although, today was not quite as successful...

I realised something else that scares me and I didn't confront it.

My housemates had a slight argument and I was terrified. I hate conflict. I don't deal well with it at all. I hid in my room.

Perhaps I'll face that another day..

A new found love.

Well not so new. I have alwasy had an interest in yoga and have been practising the simple Salute to the Sun a few mornings here and there however the other night went to my first "Flow" class and loved it! It was constant, intense, challenging, empowering! I left the class on such a massive yoga-high and am excited to bring this into my every day life. I can feel my whole body smile at me :)
