I am thankful Lord........“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
Thankfulness is simply being appreciative of something or someone, which comes from the Latin word gratis. We can also describe it as a positive emotion or feeling arising when we receive a blessing or a gift. In many cases, it develops spontaneously, but it can also be tuned into.
The most effective way to understand gratitude is to understand what it is not. Cultivating gratitude does not mean that we should deny hardship or difficult emotions, nor should we try to force it on ourselves. Gratitude can be a state of being that allows us to open up to being attuned to the positive aspects of our present moment.
Why gratitude is so powerful is subject to many different explanations and theories. The first benefit is that it helps us disentangle ourselves from negative thinking patterns. The more positive emotions we cultivate, the more room we have to flourish.
We can experience more beauty in life when we cultivate gratitude, which is an exceptional skill to hone. There is a multitude of interpretations we can apply to every situation in which we find ourselves. When we try to find the positive in life, we experience deeper contentment. As well as affecting our own well-being, it also impacts our interactions with others, so it is essential both for ourselves and for the greater good of others.
Being grateful isn't complicated or difficult. A special tool or training is not required. Practising gratitude will improve your ability to put yourself in a grateful frame of mind. To do this, follow these steps:
Pay attention to what you are experiencing and how you are feeling as you are experiencing it. Take note of your surroundings and consider what helps you cope. How do you manage stress, feel confident about your life, or accomplish what you need to do? What have people done for you? Practising mindfulness can also help you become more aware of the present moment.
Try writing down some of the things you are grateful for every day in your gratitude journal. Taking time to reflect on these observations helps when you find it challenging to be grateful.
Embrace the moment: Spend time enjoying what is happening right now. Keep your focus on the positive feelings you experienced and allow them to sink in.
Feeling grateful can be enhanced by creating rituals of appreciation and gratitude. By practising meditation, prayer, or mantra, you can develop a greater sense of gratitude.
Thank you: Being grateful involves recognizing and expressing gratitude for the people, things, moments, skills, and gifts that have brought us joy, peace, and comfort. Appreciate what you have. Whether you are simply appreciative of what you have or you thank someone to show your gratitude, you might take a moment to express your gratitude to them.

Best wishes for a joyous and peaceful Christmas for you and your family.

Defining Your Personal Style in the new year.
Examine your closet. Take a moment to think about the clothes you own that make you happy. How would you describe the items in your closet that you love the most? A person's style evolves and changes according to various lifestyle factors. The key thing is to decide who you want to present to the world, regardless of your age. Finding your colours, defining your body shape, and understanding your body type, the next step is finding your style.
Find inspiration for your wardrobe. pay attention to how fashion influencers and celebrities dress, from jeans and leggings to blazers and dresses. Getting fashion tips and inspiration from fashion blogs is easy, so look for a couple of fashion bloggers whose style interests you and peruse their archives. For inspiration, find out who a celebrity's stylist is, or how you can emulate that celebrity's style. It's also a wise idea to check out fashion magazines. Understand the different types and identify your favourites.
Fashion mood boards are a helpful way to get inspired. A mood board is a helpful tool for developing your style. Create a mood board based on your fashion inspiration. While you might find that a lot of your models are wearing denim jeans, maxi dresses, or tops with ruffles, there is still an overarching vibe or mood that you want to achieve. Keep these images on your phone so you can check them out when you're shopping.
Invest in a capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a collection of essentials that can be mixed and matched for various looks. These classic pieces in neutral colours go with everything: an elegant black dress, a denim jacket, a T-shirt, and a leather tote. Several of these might already be in your closet. Don't replace all of your basics with ones that don't work for you, but keep the ones that make you feel confident.
Give your style a unique twist. Having built your capsule collection, it's time to add pieces to your wardrobe that demonstrate your style and personality. Be prepared to experiment, and remember that it's fine if you change your mind. Creating a personal style means playing with fashion to find out which clothes make you feel the happiest. Start by mixing prints and textures and adding bold accessories.

Why having good sleep is important for health.
Lack of sleep can have numerous effects, such as feeling grumpy and not working at your best. You may not know it, but lack of sleep has a profound impact on your physical health as well? Poor sleep might affect us, with stress, computers, and taking work home often to blame.
Sleepless nights come at a price, however, that goes beyond poor moods and a lack of focus. The lack of sleep you experience regularly puts you at risk for serious medical conditions, including obesity, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. In order to live a long and healthy life, it is essential to get a good night's sleep.
The bedroom setting is crucial to getting a good night's sleep. As part of sleep hygiene, establishing an environment conducive to falling asleep and staying asleep is important, which can ensure quality rest night after night. Visual design and practical setup, including lighting, sound, and smell, are all essential in creating a relaxing atmosphere for sleep. Your ideal sleep space can be cultivated if you take into consideration these elements.
Style Note : “Dressing for success is not only wearing something well but making sure it is appropriate for the environment.
