How Do I Welcoming 2023?

 A great start to the new year: it is Sunday. Waking up unruffled, drinking a glass of water, washing my face,  taking a walk in the park, coming home and taking a hot shower before breakfast. Sounds great. I pick an empty notebook for journalling in 2023. 

I want to start my new year full of gratitude for 2022. A lot of things happened! I'm picking my words carefully. I do not feel regret about my mistakes in 2022. I took lessons. I got therapy to find my way easily. I drew a path for myself.


Now, my friend, If you want to fresh start in the new year, I would like you to accompany me. Pick a notebook. Mine has no image of 2023. It is little, tiny and also has a nice bind around itself. 

If you're ready, let's fill it with gratitude. 

"I am grateful for making the effort to create my own path."

"I am grateful to start exercising with a trainer."

"I am grateful to learn not to blame myself in my relationships."


They are some examples to enlighten us. You should add all of your thankfulness.


I have often seen in life advisings or in therapy,  writing or journalling is highly recommended. As I experienced writing, I felt my soul get calm. I realized that as I wrote down my thoughts, my anger and my sadness, I tended to think more about them, try to solve them and calm down.

That's why I wanted to start the new year by writing. I thought it would be good to write my gratitude for the previous year in order to spend a more positive, healthier and peaceful year. This is the best I can do right now.

Did you finish your gratitude? Me too! So let's continue with the next step.

What kind of year I wanna live at 2023?

Peaceful, mindful, grateful, cheerful, enduring, diligent, strong, wealthy, healthy, unconcerned... Maybe I want to have all of them. The key is knowing that every emotion is a visitor. We cannot keep all of them. Someday we're gonna feel regretted, get steamed up, sob...

First, let's face it with all the emotions. Accept it. Later turn back to decide what you want to be. 

My notebook is still open. I'm starting a new page to approve all the emotions and I write which ones I will accept more as visitors. Let's write at the same time, together.

Now I'm closing my book and decide to close my eyes too. All my gratitude crosses my mind. All my acceptable emotions cross my mind. The feelings I want to experience most cross my mind. I felt all of them. I lived them for a minute. Now I'm opening my eyes with a warm smile. Do you see? I start to new year happy. All of us.


Thank you to come along with me!

Take care of yourself,

Mercury.

Searching for the Answer to 'How Can I Be Better?'

Resim
  We found ourselves trying to keep up with the speed of this age, while the age we live in has to keep up with us. We can access information and education more reasonably and easily. In the time we want to improve ourselves, skip a class, and rise, we are getting away from our souls' step by step.  During the day, we begin to deal with minor tantrums, disappointments, and feelings of not being able to achieve. Things are starting to evolve in a direction we cannot control. Nobody stops time. Might be we choose to stop ourselves, or maybe we don't. We're starting to stagger. When we want to take a step, we gonna trip and fall. Finally, we begin to ask things from other angles. Bingo! We see that the things we think we can reach are missing us. There are things we slip through our fingers, and there are times we forgot to live. We have forgotten that we are human, that we are not lifeless. We want to find where we got lost and fix it. We are struggling, we do not hesitate to

The Proven Fact: Exercise

Resim
I start my new article by bringing to mind that I practice no scientific practice, I am not a scientist, nor they are all that the therapist said. I allow my own 'being in a better mood' journey to increase my limits of discovery, and I want to share that with others who have been on the same path as me.  This journey begins with truly wanting this journey. And embarking on an adventure isn't just about collecting images or gifts. Research, learning and using what has been learned is the necessity of this adventure. I accept the learning and what will bring that journey into my life. I will be linking the supporting resources or you can find them at the bottom of the article. Today's topic is relevant with some facts. (*) For oneself, my favourite thing is to listen to nature and the environment. When I go to a beach, I like to lie down under the sun and listen to the sound of the sea, the flight of the birds and the sounds of the stones. Those are little but enjoyable

Whenever I Need, Art Helps Me

Resim
 I was at college and struggling with some problems. My friends told me that there is one thing I enjoy doing: painting. Why am I not starting to paint? Yes, I had distanced myself mentally from painting. I thought I have no talent or time for hobbies.  I made a decision one day to start. I purchased a book and a set of watercolors. I looked for simple painting concepts, fashion and animal paintings, and later I colored tiny images.  Some days, I desired to paint something I saw, so I got my brush for it and returned to my chair. I only had one brush then. I'll never forget a memory. It was that my housemates, who are always my supporters, were outside. They came and gave me two brushes. They are my favourite gifts ever received! I only remember the smiles on my friends' faces. They were happy to see that I am going to be better. I believe I cried at that time. With the pandemic and the new global crisis, jobless days began soon after graduation. My parents were at home dealing
