12.11.2021 BAD TO GOOD

In the book Gratitude Works, Dr. Robert Emmons talks about how contrasting the present with negative times in the past can make us feel happier and enhance our overall sense of well-being.

A new day, a new week, and a new month start today. November is the month where many celebrate Thanksgiving! A day that is not only about a delicious dinner - I love the US thanksgiving food - but that is actually all about getting together and giving thanks for all the good that we have in our live. Starting with family and relationships that matter.
Many of you might know this about me, and many might not but many years ago when I started my journey in personal development and entrepreneurship my first desire was to make the world a happier place ONE THANK YOU NOTE at a time. I really thought my purpose in this life was to contribute to making the world a better place via GRATITUDE. I would sit down at cafés here in Denmark with paper, envelopes, stickers, pens and color pencils, and even stamps, inviting people to write a thank you note to someone they loved or cared about.
Life has taken many turns since then, but the power of GRATITUDE is still magical and surprising. I want to invite you to give yourself the gift of taking time to consciously stop and appreciate the good in your life every day.
I am giving myself permission to share a prompt with all of you every day this month.
Today I want to share this link and invite you to share something you are grateful for in the comments below.
When you write it down the feeling grows stronger inside of you, the power of this magnetic emotion amplifies and you open up for more good to come into your life. ❤

GRATITUDE OR FEAR?
My coronavirus morning reflections part 2.

FEAR OR GRATITUDE? My morning coronavirus reflections part 2.

My worry from this morning didn't fully go away.

I just made peace with it and choose to look at it as an opportunity to take better care of myself and my family, to improve my habits and to revisit my beliefs about health, about healing and about what is possible for all of us.

GRATITUDE OR FEAR?
My coronavirus morning reflections part 1.

FEAR OR GRATITUDE? My morning coronavirus reflections part 1.

Denmark's Prime Minister announced last night that the country will close all daycare, schools and universities for two weeks to slow the spread of coronavirus from Monday next week. As someone who doesn't watch news often, I went to bed and had no idea of what was going on.

I went to bed happy, grateful and excited about the new day ahead. When I woke up this morning, it had all changed and I found myself filled with worry and a strong desire to go into panic mode.

This is not a short blog post with a list of tips on what to do. What I want to share with you my reflections, and how I am turning this fear into an opportunity for gratitude, clarity and connection with my myself and my kids.

Happy Thanksgiving Thursday!

I had a great teacher in India who said to me, “if you think you’re spiritual, and evolved, and enlightened …. go home for Christmas and see how it goes.

This is how the author of the book EAT PRAY LOVE, Elizabeth Gilbert starts the short, fun and powerful message that has transformed many of my relationships and made me truly enjoy being in Costa Rica for Christmas with my family, having my (ex-in laws) for dinner, and the relationship to my kids and their father. If you are willing to practice this, it will transform your life too. (see link to the video at the end)

Basically she talks about how our family pushes our buttons and how instead of getting upset, frustrated, angry (insert others here), we can turn it all around and transform it into a powerful teaching moment for us. Because in the moment you feel the stress and anxiety building up, or you catch yourself rolling your eyes like I do, and you begin to hear those voices in your head judging, wanting to control a situation or changing the behavior of any of your relatives, that’s when the opportunity comes in.

As you begin to feel the desire to explode, observe it and turn the judgement into wonder. Turn it all into curiosity and ask yourself: What am I called to learn here? In her video Elizabeth mentions: Patience, dignity, boundaries, generosity, leaving? I want to add LOVE AND GRATITUDE.

Love and gratitude are two of the most magnetic feelings there is. Love is the magnetic and attracting force between you and anything that you want to create in your life. Gratitude is the emotion that says I have it all right now, I am grateful for this moment, I am grateful for my kids, my partner, my mom, because they are giving me the opportunity to become a better mother, a better partner, a better daughter.

It’s not Christmas yet, but it’s Thanksgiving today and even if you don’t celebrate any of these two, the holiday season is just around the corner.

No matter where you are or where you come from, the holiday season that most of us associate with joy love and connection with our loved ones. With the joy and our desire to be more happy come also a lot of stress, anxiety, reflection about the year that is about to end and new desires about the new one just around the corner.

Today I want to invite you to get out there and embody love and gratitude, look for opportunities to give and receive. Gather around the Thanksgiving table and go home for the holidays with this new way of looking at your challenges and see what happens.

With love, joy, gratitude and magnetic kisses
Adriana

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE RAIN!

Let's do this!

Did you know that research has shown that gratitude is associated with all kind of positive benefits, including increased happiness, optimism and life satisfaction?

Happiness in Motion is a project that wants to inspire you to practice and express gratitude, and activate happiness as you move your body too.

We believe that we can make a happier world one thank you card (and one hula hoop) at a time.

It is said, that "feeling gratitude and not expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

So go ahead and give it a try. If you don't have paper and stamps, it's ok. Don't let that stop you from starting a practice that can transform your life!!!

Send a message on your phone, or give someone special a call and tell them how much they mean to you and how grateful you are for having them in your life.

We want to give away 33 hula hoops and encourage 333 people to write and send a thank you card to someone special. Maybe get one ourselves because we teach 333 people how to hula hoop! ;-)

How do you want to change the world?

TAK in Polish means YES! (in Danish it means THANKS!)
I guess this is really all about saying YES to life
YES to staying committed to make my dream life a reality YES to giving more of what I want for me and my family
YES to contributing to a happier world one thank you note at a time!

It doesn’t say KAT but TAK! 🤪

Have you ever wondered about how you can contribute to making the world a better place?

I have...
And on today’s IGTV video I’m sharing dream with you!

I AM GRATEFUL for love and for men!
.. If you want to love a man,
love yourself, love your father, love your brother, your son, your ex-partner; from the first boy you kissed, to the last one you wept over.

Give thanks for the gifts; of your unraveling to this meeting of the one who stands before you now and find in him the seed to all that’s new and solar

A seed that you can feed to help direct the planting
To grow a new world, together

Excerpt of the poem “if you want to save the world 🌎, love a man!

I AM SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR MY CHILDREN and for all the ways they inspire and motivate me to be a better mother, a better friend, a better woman and a better human.

Who are the people who uplift you?

🤪”While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”
❣️Day 4 of
🤩Who are the people who uplift me?
💘💘MY CHILDREN. I feel so happy and grateful for all the people in my life. I am from Costa Rica and have lived in Denmark for almost 16 years now.
Throughout my life and because of my multi passionate and adventurous always moving self, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many people who have uplifted me.
They all hold a very special place in my heart but my children have been my constant light, fountain of laughter, wisdom, love and motivation to become a better mother and a better human.
I remember listening to Wayne Dyer once where he shared how he was having some tough times with his youngest daughter.
I am telling the story with my own words here:
One day, he had enough and said to her: You know Serena, if you are so tired of your dad, it’s all your fault.
Surprised, she looked at him and said what are you talking about?
Well, you are the one who chose me as your dad, so you could have chosen better if that’s what you wanted.
I have told my children this story and I can’t remember the amount of times that I have shared with them how happy and grateful and honored I feel that they have chosen me to be their mother. They love it..

Yessss.
👏I gotta give that to myself. I like taking life easy, rest and sleep.

🙃💕🙏🏻My body was exhausted, but my soul was happy and my heart was sooooo grateful. We did it. A dream that was born only a few months before and in less than 4 months it was happening.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR my body, for avocadoes and yess.. I am also grateful for coffee and all the good times we have had together.

Day 2 of
What foods nourish me? What foods deplete me?
Avocadoes, blueberries, coriander - Coffee
For some months now I have been wanting to lose some weight. I am paying more attention to my eating habits and to my body, and I have noticed how I get a bit more hungry and grumpy when I am about to get my period.
I have also felt tired in a different way and instead of losing weight I have actually gained some.
According to the author of WOMAN CODE - an expert in women hormones, our period cycle and overall woman’s health, coffee, is one of the 3 “foods” on the NO NO for hormones list.
(together with soya and white potatoes)
Coming from a country that has some of the best coffees in the world, I must admit that I was never a big coffee drinker ( i loooooove the smell though and I also love a good cup of coffee once in a while)
For a few months now I have noticed how I’ve even replaced my favorite cup of tea for coffee.
In meditation a few days ago I got a strong message: STOP DRINKING COFFEE
So I did. (or at least I am trying) and here are some strong reasons why:
3 SECRET REASONS WOMEN SHOULDN'T DRINK COFFEE
Drinking caffeine is a disaster for your hormones.
Caffeine clogs your liver, disrupts your gut, spikes your cortisol (stress hormone), impedes fertility, and promotes the growth of breast and ovarian cysts.
Simply put, it is impossible to solve your period problems and other symptoms—like acne, anxiety, bloating, low energy, and fatigue—when coffee (or caffeinated tea) is a regular part of your routine.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR the beautiful Patty Ficonacci of Nutrición y Armonía Integral and Jocelyn Gordon of Jocelyn Gordon - Conscious Conception & Soulful Parenting for the activation of this beautiful LOVE YOUR MOTHER CHALLENGE.

Day 1
What aspects of my home, diet and self-care can be cleaned up and re-organized?

03/04/2019

Being stuck in the past or anticipating the future don't give much room to be in the moment. It makes us feel that where we are today, who we are today, what he have today is not enough.

Gratitude turns this around. Gratitude brings us to the present moment and it keeps us here.

"We find completeness in the present moment because that's the only place it can ever be found."

- Deepak Chopra
