Take Control: Preserve the Meaningful Moments

Thu, 30 April 2015

Documenting your thoughts and experiences can be a highly valuable exercise.

Here are five compelling reasons why keeping a diary can help you discover more love, joy, freedom and authenticity:

1. Observe recurring patterns – Keeping a record of everyday activities and reliving moments of potential discomfort can help you to gain insights into unhelpful behaviour. You can begin to look out for such behaviours and start to address them as they occur.

2. Preserve your accomplishments – It’s so important that we acknowledge the special moments in life. Days can come and go in a flash, as we’re all busier than ever. If we don’t stop to appreciate our accomplishments the fear is that they pass by, unnoticed, uncelebrated. This is just as important in our working lives where we must preserve the achievements that make us feel proud of ourselves. This article by TLNT shares a number of valuable benefits of documenting your business success stories.

‘If you ever get discouraged, or have something happen that shakes your confidence, you can re-read your stories and revisit your accomplishments for your own benefit.’

3. Relieve anxiety – Checking in with yourself periodically, identifying your triggers and tracking your goals and to-dos are all highly effective ways to help let go of anxiety.

4. Appreciate the little things – The little things in life can often go by unappreciated. Recording the joyful moments each day is a great opportunity to stop for a moment and be grateful. Gather up the moments that make you smile, ponder over them for a short while and practice living in your heart space.

5. Aids sleep – Ever experience that moment when your head hits the pillow and your mind starts racing at 100 miles an hour? Well many people find that freeing up some headspace and relieving the brain of some of those thoughts can aid the process of relaxing and preparing for a good nights sleep.

Keeping a diary isn’t about writing epic reams, just record a few insights, thoughts, feelings, events and accomplishments that have occurred. It’s a wonderful way to get closer to your authentic self and a vital part of your own emotional autobiography.

I thought the reflexology treatment I received was very good and definately help me relax and feel good. The care and attention Pennie took was very nuturing. I would recommend this to everyone.

I like to think of myself as a fairly middle of the road person. I'm married in my 30's and have one daughter and have had a life full of very high and very low points. If truth be told I was a little sceptical and scared before I experienced my Breath4LifeTMBreath Work session. However, the opportunity arose so I took it. On the day of my session, Pennie talked me through what was going to happen and how I would feel and one of the best things about Breath4LifeTMBreath Work is that all the thoughts and emotions I felt during my session would remain private as this isn't a talking Therapy but taking action. The healing is all done by me and my breath! My session was wonderful. It lasted 2 hours and I was guided through every breath. I experienced the healing energy that I had read about, and the 2 hours was truly a life changing experience for me. After my session, I can quite honestly say that the things that used to bother me before really don't anymore. All the memories good and bad are still part of me, but I don't have the same emotional baggage attached to them and better still, I don't have to drag that baggage with me through life. If you are even a little bit interested in Breath4LifeTMBreath Work, please give it a go, it really is life changing and enlightening.
