TODAY'S LEARNING
Wake Up Smiling: 4 Daily Habits That Will Make You More Positive Person

“You create your future based on your energy in the present.” ~Unknown

1. Fall asleep in the “vortex.”

One concept Abraham Hicks offered that we discovered when researching ways to be more optimistic was:

“If you go to sleep in the vortex, you wake up in the vortex. If you go to sleep not in the vortex, you wake up not in the vortex.”

A condition of pure positive energy is referred described as being in the "vortex." The essence of that saying is quite simple: if you go to bed with joyful ideas and sentiments, you're more likely to wake up with those same thoughts and feelings.

I knew this had to be true. I was aware of it since, often, when I went to sleep with angry ideas in my head, I dreamed about being dissatisfied and woke up cranky (and tired).

I made the decision to give it a shot. When I went to sleep at night, I tried to remember all the good things (even the little ones) that had happened during the day as I scanned it from the time I woke up until I was lying in bed.

I could have reflected on the wonderful mocha latte I had that morning, the fact that I could have gone for a run outside in the afternoon because there wasn't any snow on the ground etc.

I remembered a good event for a few seconds, then moved on to the next. I would re-scan the entire day, looking for even smaller, encouraging things, and I would keep doing this until I nodded off.

I think the main thing that made me (and still makes me) wake up happier in the morning is this workout.

2. Have something to look forward to on the following day.

Having something to look forward to each day, even when I have a hectic day ahead of me and little free time, has also helped me wake up happier.

Even now, I make sure to schedule at least one enjoyable activity for the next day every evening. It could be baking cookies, taking a stroll with a buddy, or observing the sunset. It might also be as easy as putting on my most favored attire.

I find that if I plan one enjoyable activity for the next day, it makes my thoughts happy and helps me feel upbeat in the evening.

Once more, how one day ends can often predict how the next one will start.

3. Absorb uplifting ideas in the evening.

We are all aware that our mental diet has an impact on our emotions. Even though I don't watch TV or the news, my Facebook feed frequently irritates me. I made the decision to switch to only reading positive information on Facebook and to stop mindlessly scrolling through it.

For the past few months, I've been reading a few pages of an inspirational book—usually something spiritual—first thing in the morning and before retiring to bed.

I feel at ease when I read books like those. If I set aside even fifteen minutes each morning and evening to absorb uplifting information, I can tell a noticeable difference in my attitude and level of stress.

4. Make a gratitude list—with a twist.

I write down three to five things for which I am thankful in the morning after reading, along with my explanations for each.

I used to create lists of appreciation that included more than fifteen items, and I would do it rapidly, almost mindlessly, in order to "get it done." It rendered the procedure somewhat robotic and inefficient.

I've discovered that making a more profound list of the things I'm grateful for and delving deeper into the reasons behind each item's happiness makes me feel more thankful. Even if I do occasionally forget, I strive to do this every day. There is a noticeable difference in my overall mood when I forget for multiple days in a row.

Maybe the easiest way to develop a more optimistic outlook is to practice gratitude.

About: We all have parts about our personality that we tend to suppress. People also refer to it as the 'Shadow-self'. It's the part where our negative beliefs about ourselves and others dwell.

When we do 'Shadow Work', we shine a light on these dark parts of our being. And while this can be a very difficult and painful practice, exposing and accepting them will lead to enormous personal growth.

Doing shadow work allows us to deal with and overcome past trauma. It can help you realize the source of your negative beliefs and your worst habits. Surface memories you had long forgotten or have been suppressing, and confront them.

Our emotions are not something that should rule us. We should aim to live a more balanced life. Only by accepting our emotions as they arise, are we able to let them go. We don't need to react to our anger or hurt the way we are used to.

Benefits Of Shadow Work:

• Self-love and Self-acceptance

• Overcoming generational trauma

• More awareness of your emotions and triggers

• Peace of mind, general Happiness

• Become more Compassionate towards yourself and others

• Improved Social Interactions & Relationships

• Become 'Un-Stuck'

This digital Shadow Work Journal is a transformative tool designed to guide you through the process of uncovering and integrating the hidden parts of your personality.

WEEKLY ASTROLOGY

As the Sun is reborn and continues to grow in its offering, it also shifts into the zodiac of Capricorn on December 21, 2023, where it will remain until January 20, 2024.

Capricorn is a patient, committed, focused, and grounded Earth sign that recognizes the wisdom of cycles since they are gradual and do not involve force or hurry. It keeps sowing the seeds of its ambitions, claiming its route, and moving forward step by step. It looks ahead, dedicates itself, and submits to the responsibility of its own existence, its own definition of success, and the transformation it must undergo in order to fulfill its goal.

Mercury reverses course this week, on December 22, 2023, and enters the sign of Sagittarius. It is an invitation to get the wisdom that comes with introspection and the insight that meets us when we see things from a different perspective. It is an opportunity for us to absorb what was missed through its previous moments in this sign.
