treasure yourself :: mind

“The mind is the power of the human spirit. Spirit is the lamp; mind is the light which shines from the lamp. Spirit is the tree, and the mind is the fruit. Mind is the perfection of the spirit and is its essential quality, as the sun’s rays are the essential necessity of the sun.“

~ Abdu’l-Bahá

I am reading ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ by Louise L Hay & ‘Treasure Yourself’ by Miranda Kerr. I am going to continue reading these two books throughout my Treasure Yourself Project to gain more depth from the words as I re-read them. The message behind both is that we choose our experiences by choosing our thoughts, our mind is a tool & we need to be careful about what thoughts we allow to wander through our minds. We are the power in our Universe, we are the sole thinkers & creators ~ we have a CHOICE as to what thoughts we think, therefore the message we are sending to the Universe for the experiences we will have.

I am completing exercises from ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ & it is confronting, but LIBERATING! It’s all about self-love, forgiveness, conscious decisions, affirmations & being in tune with ourselves.

For the ‘mind’ section of my goals for my Treasure Yourself Project, I am saying ‘out’ to old/negative/no longer needed/unhelpful/hindering thoughts & repeating many affirmations to myself in my head, out loud, in front of the mirror, whilst driving, while walking along, before drifting off to sleep ~ basically whenever I have a moment to ponder, be still & focus on my thoughts.

Already I am noticing big shifts in my world. Our world is what we create. It’s what we perceive via our thoughts. And we can train our thoughts {like we can train our bodies} to be the way we want them to be. Negative thought patterns can be broken, they are just a habit. The power is in the present moment ~ we have the power to create our own beautiful worlds!

Affirmations I am currently using ~

♥ I love myself

♥ I am worthy

♥ The Universe provides for me with abundance

♥ I release the ‘need’ for resistance

♥ All is well in my world

♥ I focus on BEING

♥ I am here now

♥ I am grateful for this wonderful life

♥ My future is glorious

♥ I live in limitless love, light and joy

♥ I am successful, happy, content and complete

I’m also utilising my Louise L Hay ‘power thought’ affirmation cards & choosing a new one from the deck each day. Here was one of my {beautiful} cards ~

Along with my affirmations, I am also choosing to acknowledge in my mind, out loud & via pictures on Instagram {username: makeblisshappen} little things I am grateful for. I am loving the huge focus on gratitude ~ I always try to come from a positive place in my life & focusing on this now is like honing in on that skill & expanding it. It’s a wonderful practice! Here are some Instagram shots ~

I made this ’4 keys to happiness’ image as it’s really ringing true to me at the moment. I hope you like it.

Finally, some images from my vision board to share ~

Have a wonderful day & please experiment with choosing the thoughts you allow to pass through your mind. You’ve got the power!

Big love,

treasure yourself :: body

I’m going to share my goals over my Treasure Yourself Project in the form of mind, body & spirit. It’s going to be the easiest way for me to differentiate between the three & my main focus is finding a balance between these elements of myself so I can continue progressing along, following my bliss, with harmony & pure happiness.

^ from a magical day with my beautiful girlfriends who I miss dearly.

I’m going to be sharing my goals in affirmation form, in the present tense. All my reading & experience has taught me, when my goals are written/spoken in this way, I progress to that & the Universe opens up for me. I’m sure you’ve heard before that what we think about, we create. So if I were to say ‘I want’ etc then my goal will forever remain just that tiny bit away from me, at some point in the future. I will {see what I did there hehe} break that barrier with this project & achieve my goals. I’m really into affirmations & believe in them wholeheartedly. So here goes, my goals for ‘BODY’ –>

♥ I eat nutritious food that fuels an abundant & vibrant life

♥ I exercise regularly for a healthy body, mind & spirit

♥ My fitness regime is:

MONDAY : Walking w/ Leo

TUESDAY: Boxing {am} Boxing {pm}

WEDNESDAY: Walking w/ Leo

THURSDAY: Boxing {am} Yoga {pm}

FRIDAY: Walking w/ Leo

SATURDAY: Walking w/ Leo + Yoga

SUNDAY: Walking w/ Leo + Yoga

♥ I have a beautiful, toned, low fat body

♥ I fit into my jeans I own

♥ I am energetic, fit, sexy & motivated

♥ I am glowing with vitality & zest for life

♥ I am gorgeous, well rested & at ease

♥ I make organic swaps to reduce toxins for maximum health & vitality

~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve also included some of my inspirational images as this is now WEEK 2 we’re making vision boards & I’ll be giving my Pinterest a bit of a workout!

// WEEK 2 :: TREASURE YOURSELF PROJECT //

++ COMPLETE A VISION BOARD. You can fill a corkboard, your fridge or be over-the-top and dedicate a whole wall to it. Preferably one you stare at a lot. I am sure you have all heard of vision boards but in case you haven’t – put anything and everything you want to achieve on your wall – photos that represent happiness & health, your dream house/body/holiday/lover.
 
++ INSTAGRAM PHOTO: A PHOTO OF YOUR VISION BOARD. Hashtag #treasureyourself81010

I’ve been feeling massive shifts this year in my world & I’m loving that I have a set time to focus on treasuring myself. This is a transformational time for me! I’m enjoying all elements immensely ~ even the hard parts, such as old thought patterns that I am shifting & booting for good!

How are YOU feeling at the moment?

Please also feel free to share your goals in the comments!

We’re MAKING BLISS HAPPEN baby!!

Big love,
Nikki

TREASURE YOURSELF ~ AN 8 WEEK PROJECT!

Today, Wednesday 30th May 2012, I am joining the TREASURE YOURSELF PROJECT ~ a beautiful eight week plan for mamas & womenfolk alike to focus on their own personal goals to cultivate health & happiness. Too often we let our needs to be treasured put on the backburner to focus on our children/household/partner etc. This project speaks to my soul & is the love child of Lori at Eight Ten Ten ~ you can read all about the project HERE. At the heart of it all, is a dedication to mindfully TREASURE YOURSELF. I’m thinking at the end of the eight weeks, a habit will have formed… how absolutely magical! I’m so in!

WEEK ONE is GOAL WEEK. Here are the details ~

++ WRITE ONE FULL PAGE (OR MORE) OF HOW YOU ARE FEELING MENTALLY. You don’t need to ever show anyone this! Just write down exactly how you are feeling today. It is cathartic and sometimes, confronting.

++ WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS FOR THIS CHALLENGE. What do you want to achieve?

++ TAKE A ‘BEFORE’ SHOT OF YOUR BODY (FRONT & BACK). Keep them to yourself so you can see how far you have come at the end of the 8 weeks. I would love you to share them if you are comfortable at the end of the project – however it is completely up to you.

++ INSTAGRAM PHOTO: A PHOTO THAT REPRESENTS YOUR GOAL. It could be the body you want, your definition of happiness, travel goals…whatever. Hashtag #treasureyourself81010

I wasn’t planning on sharing my ‘before’ shots ~ I wholeheartedly believe that I am more than the sum of my physical body ~ but I do have ‘physical’ goals to regain my pre-pregnancy figure as well as fitness levels. It is what it is & I know I give more to everything when I am 100% confident in my being. This below quote came to mind {originally from my beautiful friend Millie} so I thought I would be brave & share my photos. It’s all part of the journey!


I’m now focussing on my goals & writing about my mental state. I’ll happy snap my goals this week ~ I’ve set up a Make Bliss Happen Instagram ~ the username is makeblisshappen ~ come find me!

Is anyone else keen to join me on this journey to treasure ourselves?

I’ll be back with more soon! Until then, keep following your bliss you little legends!!

Big love,
Nikki
