Gratitude can be a powerful tool for improving your well-being, and your mental health matters and helps train your brain to notice and appreciate the little things in life and, in doing so, shifts your life experience tremendously!!!!

Day 3 of AllisonCD Holiday Questions: As we celebrate Christmas Day and Chanukah, what tradition brings you joy and helps you connect with those around you? What's one way you can spread kindness during this festive time?

This resonates so much for me, as I reflect on 2024 and made December the beginning of 2025. 2024 has been a year of many lessons and new approaches to life, an important one has been to seek new networks to feel expansive, relevant, grounded, purposeful and meaningful. Well being took precedence for best part of the year and reaching out & asking for support stretched the comfort zone. To my surprise, I found that it is okay to ask for help and most people were always too glad to help! The most helpful is a kind neighbour who makes me a priority in her life and is available for the most essential aspects. I am still embracing the new approaches, many of them are connected to what makes my life wholesome in every way. As I take the foot of the pedal for the holidays, here are my three lessons and three new approaches. 1. From self doubt to building courage and confidence to wake up and make each day full of purpose and contentment. 2. From expectation to acceptance and discovery. A mindset that is full of intrigue, curiosity and willingness to explore the unknown. 3. From bewilderment to clarity and focus. Talking to people who are experts on areas that were giving me concern saved time and I am able to HOPE! #lessonsof2024 #approachesfor2025 #lifelessons #newapproaches #HappyHolidays

In Coaching this is one of the tools I would use with my clients to determine what to concentrate on. Dr. Travis Bradberry is reminding us at a moment where a lot of people are upset or going through uncertain times. I believe this exercise can help you build resilience and not feel powerless. If you want to change the world start with yourself. And let the rest be the rest. 📝How to do this exercise: Sit down and put the things you have the power to influence into the smaller circle. And put the things that you'd like or want to influence but have no control over into the outer circle. Have your family, friends, colleagues do the the same. Everyone individually and then discuss all together. https://lnkd.in/d_2in7xs

Adding to this… In my control: how I respond or react. Out of my control: how others respond or react.

I need to continually work at controlling what I can control. I must admit that the things out of my control that I need to work on are outcomes that did not meet my preferred outcome. In addition, caring to much about what others think about me. Focusing to much effort on what other people do is also an area of opportunity. Open up the below link. https://lnkd.in/gqfxaMFq

Good advice for anyone navigating our world.

Escelent and inspiring insight. Although a few things can be influenced and controlled with a handfull of techniques, effort and competence.

Decreasing stress begins with knowing the difference between what we cannot control versus what we can control. For example a person cannot control the leader's temper tantrum. We cannot control the weather. But we can control our reactions and thoughts. Self-care fits the queen. #selfcare #empowerment #enoughisenough #selfcontrol #armempco

Great insight. When you truly understand what is within your control and stop worrying about what others think or what is not in your control, it is liberating and allows you to be the best version of yourself.
