Quote No.66 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
“Practice self-compassion always” and particularly now as we face new challenges during lockdown. It’s ok not to be perfect, “Everybody messes up in life. Everybody makes mistakes. Be gentle with yourself.”
How have you practiced self-compassion?

Quote No.67 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
During this pandemic it is important to find and trust facts only from reliable sources. If negative thoughts arise, challenge your thoughts by asking yourself if they are true and just. Isolation and too much time to focus on negativity can throw things out of perspective very quickly. “Encourage yourself to see the positive in yourself and others too.”

Quote No.83 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
“What we do matters.
What we say matters.
How we say it really matters.”
How did you say it today? Do you feel proud of yourself and happy as a result? Or, could you have said it a little better?

Yes, just like the photo, lives have been turned sideways, and upside down. But, we are resilient and we can adjust!
If you are lucky enough to be able to visit a beach, share your photo or link in the comments below. If you’re in lockdown and can’t visit a beach, don’t be afraid to dream up one!
Find a photo of a recent trip to the beach on your phone or better still dust of an old photo album and find one there. Memories are powerful! Relive those memories, smell the sea, hear the sounds all around you. Share what you recall, with others in the comments below or with those present around you.
Life is sometimes choppy, sometimes calm. Find the calm today and encourage others to find the calm too!

Present…
P… for present, being present, living in this very awesome moment with the conviction that any struggle lived in the moment before, is now dead and gone and any pain in the moment ahead, is but an illusion…
R…for reality, creating your unique reality, living your dream, accepting nothing less, appreciating the dreams of others even if they could never be your dream
E…for evolving, changing, growing, mindful that to remain static is not an option
S…for senses, trusting your senses, feeding them with experiences not possessions, not needing to be anything or anyone but yourself
E…for encouraging others, seeing the best in them, challenging them to see their own capabilities
N…for nature and nurture, learning from nature, changing like it changes with the seasons, nurturing your soul and noticing your creativity and spirit evolve as a result
T…for taking time to practice gratitude, thankful for significant others, thankful for coming to know yourself, thankful for being fully and amazingly present… the best present.
I hope you receive the best present this year.
