250 Words On Being Mindful Of Your Mental State.

Peace Of Mind
Tumblr

I have a love hate relationship with my mind sometimes. It can send off thoughts of love, joy and happiness that hardly can be contained when released. Other times however, it cripples my body into fettle position, wanting to hide from my thoughts as they travel down my body and position my limbs into fettle position. Stay calm why don’t you? A question I ask myself as I dive deeper into a pool of uncertainty in regards to school, work, and relationships. Peace of mind is a statement you should strive to put into action. You are able, and so you will. You are worthy of all the blessings you are receiving. The connections you are making and the path to greatness that you are on are not by coincidence. Let the doubt leave as quickly as it comes. Let the people that come and fill your head-space with uncertainty exit and don’t let them re-enter your space again. Sometimes the people you want around are who you want, not who you need.

You are love, you are light, and you are perfectly painted. Fight the urge to believe the uncertainty that spews from your mind sometimes, and unfold yourself out of fettle position with more strength and love towards yourself than before. A gentle reminder for not just you, but me as well.

Through pain, sorrow and discomfort – peace will still rise and settle sweetly in our lives

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
