Steps to Feel Good Now.

Once you experience how good it feels to feel good, I promise you will want to catch this feeling whenever you can. Here are a few steps you can take to start feeling good right now.

1.       Practice gratitude. Think about what you do have such as a warm home, a loving family member, nourishing food, or a job that provides you the financial ability to travel or participate in hobbies you enjoy. Be thankful for the sleep you did get even if it was not much.

2.       Take a break. Take a moment to be alone and do something you love. Go on a walk, read a book, meditate next to an open window, or make your favorite tea.

3.       Look inside. Sit or lay down and close your eyes. Scan your body from head to toe, taking note of how you feel. What emotions are you feeling and where? Are you tired, are your hips tight? Maybe you feel sadness or love wells up inside you. Listen to what your body is telling you.

4.       Eat intuitively. Honor your body and what it’s telling you. Notice what foods make you feel loved and respected. Continue to shift towards foods and habits that make you feel amazing. Maybe reducing alcohol or caffeine makes you feel more energized and reduces brain fog. Maybe a warm frutti di mare sounds delicious and feels satisfying on a cold winter night.  

5.       Write down your dreams and take steps towards them. Write down your greatest desires along with the steps you will take to get there. Let these actions be inspiring and excite you. Allocate time each day to work on these goals that motivate you.

6.       Love the journey, not the outcome. To be happy and feel oh so good, we must have a love for each day right now, not just the future. Allow yourself to love your life now. Be receptive to love and opportunities, give love and spread kindness, do something that lights you up, adjust your attitude. You get to choose how you want to be in every moment.
