Mindset at Christmas

A Sad Christmas

For many of us, Christmas is a joyous time with celebrations and for others it is sad. 

We think about the ones we've lost and how Christmas will never be the same.

No more special Christmas dinners, no more visiting them, no more phone calls.

Just hearing their voice was comforting.

It's a sad and cruel world we live in, especially in 2020.

For many, it will be their first Christmas without their loved one, I would love to say it gets easier but the fact is it doesn't.

It's hard. 

You think about them every day.

You wish you could change the outcome. 

You go over it in your mind hoping that something would change.

But....they are never coming back. 

It's a harsh reality we are living.

Our hearts once filled with joy are now sad and aching.

We wish we could rewind time. 

Go back and treasure those memories.

No regrets.

Re-live those moments we so deeply want back.

We realise we never will, but somehow still hold on to hope.

Many stive on with their day to day lives and you're alone.

Eaten up inside. 

They could be speaking to you and nodding at the right moments, but you're not really there.

You feel as though your world has crashed down and there is no one to help you up.

Oh, how things could have been different.

Important things to remember

Treasure the memories you have.

Keep those photos in a scrapbook.

Or those memories re-live them in your head and smile about them.

So precious.

No one can take these away from you.

Although it's a crappy time, with them not being here, it's important to spread some Christmas cheer!

We know for a fact they wouldn't want us to be miserable.

They would want us to enjoy the time we have.

Time is short.

It can be taken away in a flash, so please enjoy every moment.

It's so easy to forget this.

We think we have forever.

Only material things can last forever.

Hold on to those special people in your life that little bit longer and that little bit tighter.

Gone are the days when life was so simple.

Hold them close and create as many memories as possible. 

Your life is good as you make it.

Don't miss out.

Our Mindset

With all these emotions it's going to be a hard end to 2020. 

But we need to look after ourselves too. 

Our mental health is everything.

We need to keep our mind healthy and glowing.

Stay in touch with family and friends as much as possible.

Brighten their day with an unexpected phone call. 

Make them laugh and smile, it's infectious. 

Release those endorphins and be happy.

'Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphines make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't'. Legally Blonde

Absolutely love that quote from Legally Blonde.

It's so true.

Do some meditation, or even just sit in silence and let your thoughts just be. 

Use a journal and capture your thoughts.

Read a book, it could be anything.

Have a nice long soak in the bath, try new bath bombs, or face mask.

Complete house chores, or even create your vision board or goals.

Whatever it is for you that is relaxing just take time for you. 

Share and talk about your feelings.

You are 100% not alone in this.

You only feel like you are.

We manage to push through.

And although not every day is perfect, we will be.

Fill your mind with positivity.

Positive thoughts, positive quotes =Positve mindset.

The only one who can change your mindset is you.

But you need to make the decision.

Write down some positive affirmations, and gratitude points.

Set out your declaration to yourself. 

2021 is around the corner.

Enjoy the rest of 2020 and go out with a bang. 

Your loved ones are watching you and they are so f*cking proud of you.

They love you.

They want you to flourish.

They are your energy to carry on.

They shine bright in the sky and they are there in your heart.

They are always with you.

Best wishes always,

 Love T
