Lesson 217: Check In WEEK 31 - Validating

The week saw us looking into the power of validation. Our words and actions impact others but also people’s words and actions impact us. If we create a good environment through complimenting others, can you see how that can turn someone else’s mood around and also uplift yours? If we’re always negative, we spread that around, just like if we’re positive that spreads around too. People feed off good compliments and it brings people into a positive space.

When I had to think of 50 good qualities of myself, it was actually difficult to think of things that weren’t repeated. I got there in the end but I really had to think about it.

Everything we do has an impact on not only ourselves and our mindset, but that of others. If we continue to recognise people’s great qualities, it allows them to be validated and effects their words and actions towards themselves and others. It’s creating a ripple effect of goodness.

Lesson 217: For Most of You, Less May...

….mean more. More Space, less distractions, more happiness, less stress, more simplicity, less clutter. Having less allows for more open space for a better environment. If we are more open, then this allows for more experiences. Today we need to think about if we need to live differently and if we need less. Do you see it as being set free?

I personally am trying to work towards a simpler life and simpler setting in my home. I want more space and less clutter in order to have a more open space for good energy to come. I thought I decluttered really well recently – I did get rid of a lot of clothing, items I didn’t use and makeup. I took some time off work just to be away from work but to also do another declutter. I am finding that I do not use that many items as I thought I would need and can go ever more so without certain items.

I also try not to buy anything I don’t need. The most I spend my money on besides the necessities is on things towards more enrichment like books and spirituality workshops. I just think anything that feeds your soul is good. I am just trying to minimise the material things like clothing, jewellery, make-up, perfume, shoes, bags etc. I think it will be another weight off my shoulders and will free my space up. It’s still a progress in my life but I am confident I will get to a point where I will feel comfortable and I expect that to be by the end of 2018.

I think we could all live with less and continue life without a problem. I think people over emphasise that having “things” makes your life better when it only provides that temporary happiness. What do you think?
