Challenge of the week (3)

26/6/2017

 
Picture
The theme this month, here at with Mel’s help, is:
Try something new!

I hope you have tried a few new things and experiences.
(click to read the exercises for week 1 and week 2)
​
Here is a list of more ideas of things to try...
This week, it is all about “action/reaction”. 

Will you try:
To notice what goes well instead of what goes wrong?
To say yes to life?
To smile more often?
 
Will you try:
To take a breath before reacting to what someone is saying?
To give someone the benefit of the doubt?
To see things from someone else’s point of view?
To stay calm when driving/...?
 
Will you try:
To take time to call/visit your parents/friends/...?
To take time to listen to them?
To take time for yourself and being ok with it?
 
Will you try:
To love your body a little bit more?
To love yourself a little bit more?
To accept and appreciate where you are at in your life?
To be grateful?
 
Will you try:
To notice what lights up your heart?
To challenge yourself?
To do that thing you don’t think you can do but want to?
 
Suprise yourself!
Get out of your comfort zone!
-------

On the last day of the month, ask yourself (and take notes):

What new things have I tried?
What have I experienced?
What new reaction have I decided to adopt?
What have I learned?

This week...

12/6/2017

 
Picture
This June, the theme here at withMelsHelp.com is:
Try something new !


But there are so many new things to try... Where to start?
Here are some ideas for this week.
 

Will you try:
A new recipe?
A trendy vegetable (a very exotic one or maybe just a purple carrot...)?
An ice cream flavor other than (your favorite) rum raisin? (Mine is chocolate. There is always a new combination of chocolate ice cream ;))
 
Will you try:
A sci-fi book instead of a thriller? Or maybe a novel by a French or Italian writer?
Some jazz music? Or maybe a bit of Mozart for a change?
 
Will you try:
This bright red top?
These flashy shoes?
Those sunglasses that make you feel like a star?
 
What thing will you try?
​

More suggestions will come the next two Mondays in June,
and they will be a bit more challenging... or not :)

Let's go play outside

Leave your phone at home.
Go out.
Breathe.
Look. Smell. Listen. Feel.
Be present. 
Go back home when you have emptied your head.
Repeat every day.

​Spring is here..

3/4/2017

 
Picture
Spring has finally arrived where I live.

​The signs are everywhere:
The days are getting longer and the sun shines a bit more often.
The birds are singing in the early morning.
The air is filled with the scents of flowers blossoming and trees waking up.
I can even feel it in my energy. I too feel a bit more alive.
 
What about you?
Does spring give you a new energy?

Smile, for no reason.
Smile to anyone. They just might smile back at you. You just might bring them some joy.
Smile and you might notice that you feel a little bit better.
Smile for no reason. It's free.

Look inside you

Look inside you
Feel. Listen. Notice.
Tensions, heaviness, lightness...
Emotions, memories, reality, truths and lies, the words you use.

Look inside you
Breathe in.
Let go.

Be in the moment.

Look around you

25/9/2016

 
Picture
Look around you.
Notice. Observe. 
The colors, the hues, the light, the shadows, ...
The details, the big picture, ...
Look around you.
Breathe in.
Be in the moment.
