Pencil Case Prompts: Let It Go Like a Dandelion in The Wind

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

Exercise

Limiting beliefs and negative thoughts can hold us back from who we want to be, where we want to go, and what we want to achieve.

What negative thought or limiting belief do you want to let go of right now? Replace it with a positive affirmation.

My Reflection

I want to let go of the negative thought “I’m ” too different” to be fully accepted and loved unconditionally.”
Affirmation: I am deserving of acceptance and love. I accept and love myself.

Defying Shadows Article: How to Shift From a Negative to a Positive Mindset

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

“Learning to shift and grow from a conditioned negative mindset to a positive one is a process that can add value and meaning to your life. A part of this process is the willingness to open your perspective, improve your self-awareness, navigate the discomfort of the unknown, and learn new ideas from the environment and people around you.”

Living Right Now

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

Mindfully moving forward while acknowledging the hurt and pain of “what ifs” can be challenging. As we often craft and create what we want our lives to look like, mapping out timelines, we forget to live in what is happening now. Bask in the present and realize the peace we can acquire as we move with each moment as it is given to us. What happens next will soon be our present just as quick as the prior moment became our past. Do the best you can right now and let the next moment happen when the time comes. Welcome something new. Let go of what already happened, step into right now with bravery and grace.
