What makes you feel good?

I started this morning by laying down my yoga mat on my terrace, placed the plants next to me so I can see some greenery around, filled myself a cup of black coffee, closed my eyes for 5 minute in meditation and later started reading the book The secret. 

The law of attraction says, do more of what makes you feel good , Dr. Joe Vitale says “so the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good”. Speaking for myself largely, how many times do we get caught up in situations thinking about things we don’t really like, feelings that don’t make us feel better? Thoughts of anger , disappointments, life not going in the direction we planned and so many reasons to complain about. And despite knowing that, we let that happen. Why?

I request you to transform your thoughts right now. Think of everything that makes you want to smile, gets you jump out of your bed and helps you get excited about the day. We have heard that a million times already to count your blessings, check around you. There are so many things we can feel happy about right now, but we let that escape our mind. Hey, let’s not do that!

We sometimes think , again speaking for ourselves , that overthinking will let us solve the situation better. But one of my friends sent me a book called Blink, which dwells on the idea of “The power of thinking , without thinking.” I wonder how cool it is that it teaches us about how snap judgments can be more fulfilling and more appropriate for us than taking time pondering and then making a decision. Some decisions are actually best taken by our brain in reflex, in the moments when we know something without knowing why. Instead of wasting our time , just sitting back and thinking , let’s rejoice in the here and now and go back to good times that gives that extra oomph for life.

So sitting back relaxed on a Sunday morning , I am creating a list of my “Secret Shifters” that instantly is my mood lifter and recalling every memory I have with a cat I am in love with who used to be there at my workplace, about having Turkish breakfasts at the sea side, taking walks during the sunsets around the Kuçukçekmece lakes I once lived in, doing yoga early mornings with the sounds of birds and having coffee while reading my favourite book. The list is truly endless.

Now , I ask you what makes you feel good? Write it in the comments, or make a list of it and share with me. 

Have a lovely day ahead!
