Melanie Toye Uplifts

  Sourced video via: www.youtube.com  I love this song, Dose by Ciara. It's such a up beat, motivational, uplifting song!  When you fall fall, just get back up again. It's such a simple testament. We are challenged every day. Every day. We think we are a failure that we fell. Absolutely not. Because you can always get back up. Dust yourself off and just keep going.  Sometimes it's hard, especially if mean people are putting mean words into your head. Don't believe them. You are absolutely cool, special and loved. Sometimes those people are the ones closest to us, which makes it even more shocking to take in and also it feels like you have to believe them, because they know you. But do they? You know yourself the best. Deep down, you know you.  Forget what they say. For every time what they say pops into your mind, add afterwards an affirmation. For example, if they say "You aren't pretty." Tell yourself immediately, "I am beautiful inside and out....

There are ways so many ways to pull yourself back up and feel like you again. You could be lonely or you could be a success  Think of how you could be a success in your own life. Think how your day to day would look like? What would you be doing? Would you be smiling?  What about if instead of feeling lonely you went and did something?  It could be anything! Go for a walk. Go do something special for yourself- like get a massage or some kind of pampering and self-care. Stop the crying and the sad thoughts and instead wipe those tears and just take a deep breath.  Get up from where you are and get out of that room! Sometimes, just changing rooms can help lift your spirit back up. Have you tried gardening?  Gardening gets yo...

And every year is set with new challenges, distractions and growth. So why just put the limited or even half the energy into something, when you could really just put everything into the path you want?  Don’t be mediocre just do what you really want to do in life or in a project or whatever you are working on. Take the risk and fall in love with something you created. This is easy to say and harder to do. Family and friends say weird comments or maybe just absolutely discourage your goals or dreams. Don’t listen to them and keep going!  Because you will have the break through you are seeking. It is rarely immediately after you start, but can take years to administer and work on regularly and learn, learn, learn more about how to excel in it. Don’t bring ordinary to the table. Each day bring unique, bring new ...

  You have a path way in how you want to achieve your success. You visualise it every day. But I want you to know that the outcome can occur through a completely different pathway that you never even imagined. Image sourced via: LinkedIn.com So yes, visualise your path to success but be open that if that door closes, there are hundreds of other doors waiting to be opened to go a different way but with the same result.  And some times the result changes too because on your journey you rediscover the real meaning why you are here on this journey. It could be friendship, it could be success, opportunities, growth - whatever it is, just be patient and keep your eyes wide open. If you do you might just head into the direction you were always meant for.  This doesn’t mean it will be easy and there will be road blocks, detours and highs and lows but the journey is always worth more than the destination. And then when the destination does come, reset your path and work out your n...

Is it soft and smooth or has intricate details or maybe it is heavy and hard?  Think about the size. Does it have its own unique size or is it large, medium or small? What is the shape look like?  Does the object have a scent? For example, maybe a purple object has a lavender scent or maybe a wooden object has a wood scent. Does it smell nice?  Why do you like this object that you are holding? Does it make you smile? Maybe it brings you comfort? Now during your hard times think about this object. Think about how it feels and smells but most important think about how this object makes you feel.  #objects #sensory

Try it.  Have a nice bath. Lay, lather, and use your hands to play with the water around your body. Move your hands under the water slowly and then a bit faster. Change directions with your hands. Squeeze the water through your hands. Just play with it. Did you notice something? For a moment, you actually forgot to let your thoughts overwhelm you, and instead you lived in the moment. You let curiosity take over you. What if you don't have a bath? Fill a bowl. Fill the kitchen sink. Use cold water or if you live in a cold climate, use warm water.  Do this daily for a week and then do it once a week.  Be kind to yourself. #water #waterhealing
