His Heart Scribe Inspirations

(Continued from page 13)

6. HELP

OTHERS...

We often help others expecting something in return, but this
can lead to disappointment and resentment. The alternative
is to help others, especially those who are struggling, simply
because we want to live in a world where people look out for
each other.

7. BE

KINDER TO OURSELVES...

Forgiving ourselves for any mistakes we make is much kinder
than always mentally beating ourselves up, and being kind to
ourselves is crucial if we want the world to be a nicer place.
When we’re kind and caring to ourselves, we’re more open to
kindness from others and more likely to treat others well.

8. STAY

MINDFUL IN THE PRESENT MOMENT...

If we stop dwelling on things that have happened in the past
and worrying about what might happen in the future, we’ll be
able to experience all of the wonderful things that are happening in the present. When my mind wanders, I bring myself
back to the now with three deep breaths. Mindfulness is a
powerful way to increase our happiness, and that can have a
massive ripple effect on the world around us.

9. EXPRESS

GRATITUDE DAILY...

Acknowledging all of the amazing things that we have happened to us puts us in a positive mindset, and it also provides us with the opportunity to thank others for all they’ve
done. I practice gratitude daily by recording at least three
things that I’m grateful for at the end of the night, and I’ve
noticed it makes a tremendous difference in my mood and my
relationships.

10. HAVE FUN!
A lot of times we make situations out to be more much more
serious than they need to be and we forget to actually let go
and have fun. Let’s make sure that enjoying life is a priority
so that we can actually take advantage of living in a nicer
world!
