Each of us can choose to broaden their mind and experience emotions in a serene way, reaching a state of inner well-being. Stop suffering by showing enough courage to give yourself completely, in terms of unconditional love, to the people we love. Living an attitude of openness implies partly changing one's habits and beliefs. Many are willing to call it an act of maturity. Others, on the other hand, prefer to consider it as the simple need to change perspective in the face of their own personal reality, that of each of us.
Ultimately, whatever you call it, it is an attempt to change your mental habits positively. To do this, we would like to show you three ways to positively change your attitude, positively shaping your life and making the best version of yourself shine.
"I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains."

Show gratitude
Sometimes we forget that the most serene and happy experiences derive from the simplest things, those that help us to give immense value to everything that surrounds us.
We leave in oblivion many lived moments for which we should be grateful, occasions for which we should consider ourselves lucky. Because those who live them are lucky and for this reason he has the task of blessing them and giving them the right value. Give thanks to life and all that it entails, as it has the power to make us experience the best moments, learning and experiences.
Learnings and experiences that contribute to making the best version of ourselves prevail: the purest essence of man. Referring to the law of the universe, we will realize that we are part of a much larger plan; it is something that each of us can feel within his heart.
Being grateful to the people who love us, lucky enough to be alive, to be able to savor every experience and to live to the fullest, is necessary to assume a positive attitude. Giving thanks means recognizing and appreciating everything around us.
"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes"

Working with body consciousness
The body is the tool through which we can connect our inner wisdom, our divine gift: the one we have the duty to share with those we love. Following this paradigm, we discover that reason, the one responsible for our choices, directly depends on the body, and vice versa.
Thoughts affect our body posture, breathing, our movements and above all our normal reactions in the face of experiences that appear as obstacles and from which we can draw a great deal of learning.
Our body marks the union between ourselves and the whole. Without it we could not, of course, live as eternal beings. It is when we become aware of the potential of our body that we learn to positively modify and vary the way we manage emotions.
Remember: your brain is a tool that in just a few seconds can help you change your habits towards life. For this reason, it is good to become aware of it and respect it. To do this, consider exercising and eating a healthy diet.
Meditation and inner calm
If you want to make a positive change by changing your mental habits, learn to exercise control over your thoughts; the best way to do this is by identifying them one by one. To do this, meditation will be for you: it will give you the completeness and inner serenity useful for achieving control over your thoughts.
We recommend yoga, Tai Chi Chuan, pilates and other breathing exercises that will give you time to rest. Rest is essential to feel serene and enjoy a calm mind, able to see in perspective how our experience “goes on”.
Avoid using the lack of time as an excuse, because time is one of the main obstacles when you want to do exercises of this type. Remember, without rest, you gradually become more vulnerable to stress and chronic fatigue. Take some time to reflect on the "why" of your thoughts and their possible origin, a factor that can affect you a lot.
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that humans can change their lives by changing their mental habits."
