Well, I am only almost one year into my 30s. I mean, my 30th year on this planet and, I am super proud of my age (I wonder why most people are not). Instead, the actual reason I restrain from vocalising my age is because I wish I was older? Crazy! Right? And secondly is, I just wish I got here earlier because the 20s, sigh! What the heck was that ghetto! Never take me back please:(
Anyways darlings, hope you are doing well, keeping sane and staying beautiful in the best ways for yourselves. As the lifeist I am (if you’ve been here long enough, you are familiar with that about me), I have been reflecting on some few tips or just life principles that have made life easier and simpler even amidst its own surprises of the highs and lows, which, are part of what life is. All that matters is how we react to those highs and lows.
- You mirror who you are: We focus so much energy on others and what they do to us and forget that we contribute to who and what we attract. For so long I was caught up in what happened and who did what to me until I realised that I am the constant character in the episodes. Until you search within you, the patterns will remain the same. If you want to attract love, be that love to self.If you want to attract value, be that value to yourself. If you want to attract peace, be that peace to self. It all starts from within darling. Stop the blame game and do the work from within.
- A heart of gratitude is the ultimate multiplier: The more you are grateful for the little or much you have, the more you receive more. The more you focus on what you do not have, the more your cup empties. Ingratitude and complaints is the thief of all the abundance that is out here for us.
- Kindness is a simple virtue that can unblock blessings or curses: Make sure you are unblocking blessings not curses in your daily living. For me, as a Christian, that is what Matthew 25:42-45 is all about. And challenging myself further is, if I find myself in a situation to support someone who might be living my prayer item, do it. God ALWAYS has taken care of my business as I take care of others’ business.
- Peace is something you give yourself before anyone does and protect it at all cost: Please stop asking people to give you peace, give it to yourself first and the world will adjust to the rhythm. And, once you have it, have boundaries to protect it. Do things that ground your peace. For me, prayer, nature, fitness are some of those that ground my peace.
- Healing your traumas is your ticket to freedom: Trauma and mindset change are interconnected. Heal from your past, forgive yourself and forgive your past. The result is freedom. Work on it the best way you can! May it be therapy, talking to God, doing your research, journaling. Just do something to free yourself!
- Unlearning, Relearning and Learning is part of life, make sure you are doing it right: Be open minded because with change of seaons comes growth and so learning is part of your living.
- There is so much love out here: do not be stuck on only one kind of love. Treasure every kind of love in your life as it is beautiful in its own ways. And, love is such a beautiful thing. No wonder it is the greatest commandment from God. Love is good darlings 🙂
- The greatest gift you have is your body, soul and mind: Please take care of them at all cost. That includes, what you eat, drink, how you take care of your physical body, what you consume for the brain. Remember, whatever you feed your system becomes your reality. Rubbish in, rubbish out. For the Christians, we are told, our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit. Treat it as so. #wink
- The earlier you realise life is very spiritual, the easier it becomes: I mean, the fact is, there is existent of a supernatural power beyond us. In my case, I have seeked Him ever since I was around 8 years old? I am where I am because of Him. And the older I have become and understood our relationship even better, the more I realise how powerful it is to hold Him close to me. At this stage, it is not a flex to say I am a believer, it is actually what I live by and who I am. Check out my blog here to understand a snippet about my relationship with Him: The season: Restoration & Elevation
- Just be still: As simple it is. Imagine just be still. Do not get lost in the noise and loose yourself. Most times, all you need is to be still and all the answers are right there in the stillness.
Alright darlings! That is all for today with some of my 30s nuggets. Excited about days ahead because, evidently, the wiser will become 🙂
Otherwise, it would be very lovely to hear some of your nuggets as well. Let us interact at the comment section and learn from each other! As always, with love and grace to each other.
With Love,
Mwendwa.
