“One day you will realize that happiness is not what your house looks like, but how you love the people within its walls. Happiness is not finding success by a certain time, but finding something you love so much time itself seems to disappear. Happiness is not thinking you have earned the world’s approval, but waking up each day and feeling so at peace within your own skin, quietly anticipating the day ahead, unconcerned with how you are perceived. Happiness is not having the best of everything, but the ability to make the best of anything. Happiness is knowing you did what you could with what you were given. Happiness is not something that comes to us when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us the light of day is always there, if we slow down enough to notice.”
This is beautiful words I had to share with you all today 🙏🏻namaste Trish

I love this analogy!

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?
“Because someone bumped into me!!!”

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
*Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
*So we have to ask ourselves... “what’s in my cup?”*

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.

Today let’s work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.have a wonderful Sunday to all 🙏🏻namaste Trish

Ah reiki healing treatment is so important to clear the body and mind ..If you want to reject stress, stay healthy, and prepare to radiate positive youthful energy with the natural healing power of reiki then this is designed just for you...
Reiki is the healing therapy created by a Japanese Buddhist named Mikao Usui over a hundred years ago, is based on a simple spiritual principle: we are all guided by the same invisible life force that controls our physical, mental and emotional well-being “being”. When the energy flows freely, we can draw on reserves of unknown power. When you come across blockages (often caused by negative thoughts, untreated trauma or stress overload), we operate at a sub-optimal level.
This may seem like voodoo magic to some, even non-believers who have spent an hour with a skilled Reiki master (as they are called) have felt a positive change of some kind. Many describe Reiki sessions as a combination, a light touch of energy over the body as calming or rooted, for others, seems like an emotional realignment.Reiki, a universal energy that has been used successfully all over the world to heal emotional, physical and energetic imbalances

Overcome Traumatic Memories…Solutions:
1. Identify possible triggers
Even if it could seem like unpleasant memories are all you can think about, you might be able to ignore them for the most part.
You may, however, be able to recollect these memories in response to specific internal or external stimuli, or triggers. The traumatic memory itself determines how specific these triggers are.
Certain memories are activated by specific stimuli, like a certain house or aroma, while others are triggered by more general ones, like loud noise or crowded areas.
You might be able to prevent unpleasant memories from being triggered if you can recognize your triggers and stay away from them.
However, if the triggers are more general, this may be difficult. Finding the trigger in this situation is still beneficial since you can use soothing methods like breathing exercises, grounding (staying in the moment), and flashback halting strategy.
The method known as “flashback halting protocol” takes you back to the present by preventing the flashback from occurring.
Researchers suggest that triggers can be reassociated with different memories. Reducing the impact of a traumatic memory on your life might be achieved by associating such triggers with pleasant experiences or emotions.Exposure therapy
One popular type of psychotherapy that tries to expose people to their concerns is called exposure therapy. A mental health professional offers safe spaces for you to confront unpleasant memories and helps you develop useful coping mechanisms.
Numerous research have proven that exposure therapy works. One study showed that exposure therapy could reduce PTSD symptoms in female veterans.
Narrative exposure is another form of exposure therapy that involves an individual telling the story of their entire life rather than just repeating the one traumatic event. This method has been effective, particularly with refugees and individuals who have gone through torture and conflict.🙏🏻namaste Trish

Overcome Traumatic Memories
Traumatic memories: what are they?
Traumatic memories are frequently stored in the subconscious until they are triggered by particular events.
Places, experiences, emotions, and people can all act as triggers. For instance, being in a crowd could trigger a terrible occurrence you had at a concert. Triggers cause the memory to become salient and can mean the person feels like they’re reliving the event.
This can induce psychological and physiological symptoms such as issues regulating negative emotions, increased heart rate, nervousness, and sweating.
Some attempt to suppress painful memories in an effort to avoid negative emotions. While doing so may temporarily alleviate symptoms, over time it may make the problem worse.: Trauma is everywhere and so many of us are silently affected by it. Stressful, challenging, and frightening events can happen to anyone, at any age, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted. Left unchecked, difficult experiences can have a lasting psychological effect on our well-being which can become stored in the body, leading to both physical symptoms and emotional distress.reiki healing treatments can will help you understand why trauma happens, how it manifests in the body, and what we can do to heal it.I invite you to empower yourself against trauma, own your life experiences, and learn to thrive, not just survive, in the wake of life’s difficulties.🙏🏻namaste Trish

. Reframe Negative Thoughts
It’s normal to experience negative thoughts when we deal with dangers and difficulties on a regular basis. No one is 100% optimistic all the time. However, you can reframe this pessimistic mindset by changing your inner thoughts and rephrasing them to more empowering and positive thoughts.
When presented with a problem, for instance, concentrate on the lessons you can take away from it rather than the chances you lost. Pay more attention to the opportunity for development than to the obstacle or setback. No, it won’t be simple, but with little practice, you may improve your attitude and way of thinking.start your day with a positive attitude and mindset 🙏🏻namaste Trish

How To Be Positive Everyday…1. Practice Gratitude
Adopt a grateful mindset. It is among the easiest and most effective strategies for cultivating optimism. Every day, take a few minutes to reflect on the blessings in your life.
It could be something as easy as making dinner at home, something important like completing your job ahead of schedule, or something enjoyable like going on a date.
The moment you shift your focus to the positives, your consciousness and attention is withdrawn from stressors, worries and negative thoughts. This contributes to making the room necessary for developing a growth attitude and optimism.
2. Surround Yourself with Positivity
The individuals in our immediate environment have a big impact on our feelings and thoughts. Your heart and mind will be overflowing with negativity if you spend a lot of time with people who constantly complain and whine or who have a scarcity mindset.
It is for this reason that you should associate with and be surrounded by people who inspire you. People that radiate positivity and encourage others. Being in their presence will help you comprehend their outlook on life.
Another helpful strategy is to avoid or restrict your access to news, social media and toxic environments that can leave you feeling drained and lead to negative thinking. Instead, take part in things that make you joyful and raise your spirits.3. Practice Mindfulness
Living in the present allows you to be more hopeful and more capable of overcoming intrusive negative thoughts. You can deliberately choose to have a happy attitude in life by being attentive of the present moment and objectively observing your thoughts and feelings.Additionally, practicing mindfulness can increase your awareness of your thoughts and emotions and make you feel calmer and more at ease in daily life. Controlling intrusive thoughts and increasing your optimism can be achieved by reducing stress and improving awareness. This is the daily approach to positivity.try a yoga and meditation class and see how it affects your mindset here at my class Wednesday and Thursday evening all welcome 🙏🏻 namaste Trish

Regain Your Self-Respect

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Although social media opens up a lot of good opportunities, it can also foster harmful ideas. Everyone has experienced the natural tendency of comparing their lives to what they see on social media at some point.
When you see that you are making comparisons, how do you gain confidence? First, tell yourself that it isn’t beneficial to do so. There is no competition in life; each person is competing in their own race.
Reminding yourself of your own accomplishments and talents is a fantastic place to start because it will help you concentrate on your own life rather than the lives of others.
Surround Yourself with Positive People
Perhaps more than you realize, the people you spend time with can affect the way you think about and feel about yourself. Thus, be aware of how other people make you feel. It could be time to say goodbye if, after spending time with a certain individual, you feel self-conscious.
While having a large social circle is not a terrible thing, it is also not incorrect to have a small one. Seek for people who can boost your confidence and are optimistic. Positivity and self-assurance go hand in hand.
Take Care of Your Body
We have talked about how you can show respect to yourself through taking care of yourself and this will also result in having more confidence. If you are mistreating your body, it is difficult to feel good about yourself. You’ll inherently feel more confident if you practice self-care since you’re taking good care of your mind, body, and spirit. Making time for yourself being kind to yourself as you do for others treating yourself meeting up with friends or just time out on your own to read a book or listening to music 🎶 meditating yoga ,reiki healing treatments 🧘 a walk in nature ,or having a bath anything that makes you happier healthier and brings peace and calmness into your life letting go of stressful thoughts 💭 and emotions ,your welcome to join yoga meditation sessions Wednesday and Thursday evening 7.30/9 o clock or a reiki session or just an ear to listen 🙏🏻namaste Trish

2Release self-imposed anger
3: Disconnect the trigger button
4: Self-awareness
5: Develop an anger management plan..Count Down If You Are Angry
Count down (or up) to 10. If you’re really mad, start at 100. In the time it takes you to count, your heart rate will slow, and your anger will likely subside. hope this information will help you I find dancing is great for me as I lose myself in the love of dancing 💃 Dance it out.
Expressing your emotions through dance can be quite effective, particularly if your feelings are so strong that they physically affect your body. Get your excess energy out by dancing to upbeat, cheerful, or aggressive music.whatever makes you feel better or if you want to put on some meditation music 🎶 and find a quiet place or even in the bath and focus on your breathing and let those thoughts 💭 flow out of your head just like clouds ⛅️ and come back to your breath and let your mind and body relax, I’m sure you will feel much better pamper yourself giving yourself time for yourself 🙏🏻namaste Trish

LEARN TODAY:something to help..
Healthy Ways To Release Your Anger
Throw or break something (safely).
Throwing something physically can assist in the moment and reduce stress. Have a yard? If you have enough room, go outside and hurl some pebbles or go throw a ball. Alternately, destroy anything you’ve been wanting to get rid of, like an old piece of garbage or a mug. If that’s not practical, think outside the box. Toss an apple into the woods or something mushy (like balled-up socks or a roll of toilet paper) against a wall; the birds will definitely find it.
Scream – in private.
Yelling is frequently highly cathartic and can help you break free from a blind wrath that you may be experiencing when you sense anger building within of you. Take care to not startle or worry anyone (including nearby neighbors) by screaming into a pillow. Your car is also a wonderful option if you can take a brief break from work.
Sing it out.
Play some angry music, even if the composer doesn’t share your feelings of rage. Channeling your own feelings into the song and expressing that fury can help release some of your own anger.Do a tough workout.
If dancing isn’t your thing, consider boxing or running as high-intensity exercises. If you’re seeking to let out some fury, you can browse for free fitness videos online or just work out on your own. Just remember to push yourself and give it your best. It might feel silly but yelling or grunting while working out might even help you exert more energy.💭🙏🏻namaste Trish

Planetary Parade on June 3rd 2024: Cosmic Event Alert
JUNE 2, 2024

On June 3, 2024, we will experience to a significant astrological and celestial event: a Planetary Parade. This rare alignment will feature Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune lined up in the pre-dawn sky. Beyond its astronomical beauty, this planetary parade holds significant astrological implications.

Astrologers believe such alignments can intensify the energies of the involved planets, influencing our lives in profound ways. This event will enhance communication and relationships as well as spark new beginnings and personal transformations. The Parade invites us to explore its deeper astrological meanings and how it may impact our journey.What is a Planetary Alignment?
A planetary alignment refers to the event when planets line up in the sky from our perspective on Earth. This can happen in three main ways:This will be a “large planetary parade” because Venus is not in the mix. Since the parade takes place across a huge swathe of sky only two planets will be easy to see. Two (Uranus and Neptune) will require a very large telescope to view. The event will happen when the sun is about to rise and the sky brightening. Therefore, the real-world chances of seeing each planet with the naked eye is unlikely:

Mercury: possible but limited because it will be very close to the sun.
Mars: visible to the naked eye (not very bright)
Jupiter: possible but limited because it will be very close to the sun.
Saturn: visible to the naked eye (not very bright)
Uranus: visible only with a large telescope.
Neptune: visible only with a large telescope. So go out and have a look and see 🙏🏻namaste Trish

Don’t leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something...
When you had the chance.

Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us, never to return in quite the same way again.
Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.
So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us. For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled. 🧡☀
Namaste 🙏🏻 Trish

Grounding techniques
Grounding techniques such as journaling and the 333 rule can often help to calm immediate feelings of anxiety.
The 333 rule involves naming three things you can see, three sounds you can hear, and interacting with three things you can touch. Breath work bringing in the breath with a count of 4 ..hold it for 4 .. then let it go out with an exhale through your nose do it 3 times it’s called the box breath I do it with my clients or in my yoga and meditation classes .🤰
Writing down what’s making you anxious gets it out of your head and can make it less daunting. Reading your thoughts and feelings can help you take stock of your emotions in the immediate moment.
This can also help you better understand the situations and events that cause anxiety.hope that brings some relief to your mind and body 🙏🏻namaste Trish

Love Frequency
Allow love, openness, and faith to spread its roots in your heart. Consciously practice positive affirmations and visualization. Fully believe that you are worthy of love. Know that what you are searching for is also searching for you. Have faith that what you need and desire will come to you in perfect divine timing.have a wonderful day 🙏🏻namaste Trish

Anxiety Journal Prompts
1 — The elephant in the room
What is the thing that’s giving you the most trouble right now? What is the elephant in the room? Stare at it straight in the face and write it down. Describe it — where it came from, how it’s making you feel, what you would do about it if you could.
2 — Describing fears
Spend some time writing about one or two bigger fears you have. Let yourself really explore those fears for what they are. What do they feel like? What do they look like? Do they tend to crop up at certain times for you?
3 — Feelings & emotion
If you are feeling particularly emotional (be it sad, nervous, happy, or angry) about something, take some time to write about that emotion, what led you to feel it, and what you think it may mean for how you feel, overall. For example, if a family member told you they’d like to come and visit you and you found yourself feeling nervous about that, explore why that might be.
4 — Let go of control
List all the things in your life that you cannot control, and therefore, you cannot change by worrying about them.
5 — Strength
Reflect on a few times in your life when you were particularly strong. Maybe you overcame something very difficult or trying, or perhaps you found yourself very nervous about something but you persevered and did it anyway.6 — Write a letter
If you are feeling particularly anxious about another person, use your journal to compose a letter to that person where you say everything you feel about them. Don’t actually send the letter, and decide you won’t send it before you start writing. This will free you up to really be honest with yourself (and your journal) about how that person makes you feel.
7 — List it
Make a list — like a grocery list — of all the things that are weighing on you, whether they’re things that are worrying you or things that you fear. Putting these things in a journal may help you see them for what they are: separate of you as a person, and rather things that you are experiencing and that will, eventually, go away.🙏🏻namaste Trish

Learn How To Reframe Your 💭 thoughts..Challenge your negative and destructive thoughts, and find alternative, more helpful ways to interpret them...
Our negative thoughts often command our actions and can cause anxiety or depression, but you can always gain control over your thinking process. Start improving your mental health today Seek alternative explanations
Examine alternative perspectives on the matter. Is there a more positive or neutral perspective you could take? For example, if you’re thinking, “I never do anything right,” you might reframe it to, “I make mistakes sometimes, but I also have many successes.”
Replace with a positive thought
For each negative thought you identify, try to think of a positive or more realistic counterpart. This calls for a more nuanced perspective on the issue rather than dismissing it entirely. When a buddy doesn’t respond to your text and you assume that “I must have offended them,” think of alternate scenarios. For example, “They might be busy or didn’t see my message.”How do you reframe a negative mindset?
Start by recognizing that you’re having a negative thought, then pause and give yourself a moment to stop and think.
Next, challenge the thought— ask yourself if the thought is really true and if there’s evidence to support it. Consider other ways to view the situation or think about the evidence that contradicts your negative thought.
Finally, try to replace the negative thought with a more positive or realistic one. Don’t worry if you find it challenging at first—the more you practice reframing, the more natural it will become. Hope this information helps 🙏🏻namaste Trish

Reframe Your Negative Thoughts
Common negative thinking patterns can be grouped into four main categories.
Catastrophizing: This is when we expect the worst to happen. For example, if you make a small mistake at work, you might start thinking that you’ll get fired, even when there’s no real evidence for it.
Overgeneralization: This occurs when we take one negative event and believe that it’s going to keep happening. If you have a bad date, you might think, “I’ll never find someone who likes me,” which is unlikely.
Personalization: This is when you believe that everything others do or say is some kind of reaction to you. For instance, if a friend is short with you, you might think it’s because they’re mad at you, when they could just be having a bad day.
All-or-nothing thinking: In this pattern, things are either perfect or terrible, with no middle ground. For example, if you don’t meet all your goals, you might think you’re a complete failure, which is not a fair or realistic way to judge yourself.How to reframe negative thoughts
1. Notice your negative thought
Recognize when a negative thought enters your head. It might concern someone else, yourself, or even a circumstance. The first step to altering these thoughts is acknowledging them.
Use an app on your phone or keep a little notebook for notes. Note down any bad idea that occurs to you. This exercise facilitates the identification of negative thought patterns and triggers.
2. Take a break and reflect
Breathe deeply and count to five whenever you catch yourself thinking something bad. This little diversion can help you reframe the idea and prevent it from spiraling out of control.3. Question the thought’s accuracy
After jotting down the unfavorable thinking, question it by posing queries such as “Is this thought really true?” or “Do I have proof to back up this idea?” You’ll frequently discover that your pessimistic ideas are more grounded in emotions than in reality. More to come …🙏🏻namaste Trish
