# 1 When you believe in an abundant universe, your world feels more plentiful.
It’s so true that WHAT we focus on seems to multiply itself.
When I catch myself focusing on what I DON’T want I stop and ask myself, “What is it that I DO want?”
I find that I feel better when I move TOWARD something then when I’m running away from something.
#2 A healthy diet is about how you prepare, not just choose, your food.
Many years ago a friend of mine said that he would rather eat food cooked with LOVE that maybe wasn’t the best food choice in terms of health, then “healthy” food cooked in anger.
He felt the energy food was cooked with got transfered into the food. I agree with him. Have you ever noticed this difference?
#3 Walk, run, dance, and jump, a little every day.
You choose the ones that work for you!
Find your JOY in movement and you’ll be rewarded tenfold, at least!
#4 Explore your inner adventurer. Try things that excite you.
This reminds me of the saying, “It’s never too late to teach an old dog a new trick.”
I am NOT calling any of us old dogs, so how about we change that to,
“It’s never too late to teach a menopausal woman a new trick!”
#5 Sustainable living goes beyond a single action; it requires a shift in philosophy.
Though this can be taken to mean our relationship with our planet, I like to also think of it as our relationship to ourselves.
What do we need during our menopausal years to sustain us?
Stop right now and without thinking or judging, take a piece of paper and write down the first 5 things that come to mind. This list can be a start to creating a self-sustaining menopausal tool kit!
#6 Your limitations aren’t flaws. They’re opportunities to cultivate self kindness.
Practicing self kindness, particularly if it’s not been something you’ve practiced throughout your life, is perhaps the most challenging, yet rewarding skill you can develop. Start today!
#7 Motivating thoughts and actions spring from gratitude.
Gratitude is indeed an attitude.
When I feel grateful I want to give something back.
I want to get out there and contribute and enjoy life.
It creates a sense of fun and wonder and keeps me engaged in living.
#8 A resolution isn’t what you “should” do; it’s a chance to move your life forward.
You’ve likely heard someone say, “You’ve got to stop ’shoulding’ all over yourself!”
Forget the SHOULD and go for the COULD and WANT TO.
Your persistence and courage will skyrocket when you’re motivated by WHY am I doing this versus I SHOULD be doing this.
If you have any of your own inspirational wellness thoughts I’d love to hear from you. Let’s fill this list with 108 thoughts!
