+ Count Your Blessings:

Start a gratitude journal, or simply start and end each day by mentally listing at least 10 things you have in your life to be grateful for. Not only does the Universe reward grateful people, giving us more things to be grateful for, but showing gratitude is a great way of telling yourself that you are happy with whatever you have in your life in that moment.

+ Know That You Are Exactly Where You Need To Be:

Everything about the present moment is absolutely perfect. It may not be wrapped up in the perfect paper with a perfect bow on top, but everything is just as it is supposed to be for you and everyone around you. Think about how everything you have experienced in your life has led you to where you are at the moment. Now understand that whatever is happening in your life right now is happening because it is a necessary step in your journey.

+ Trust That The Universe Has Your Back:

There is something going on that is far bigger than you or I could ever explain. Our lives are all part of a much bigger universal scheme – but the good news is that when we play along nicely, things will always work out in our favour in the end. Trust that. One of my favourite spiritual teachers, Gabrielle Bernstein, explains this perfectly:

“The Universe is a constant flow of energy, always creating, always supporting and always attracting. The same energy that makes the planets revolve around the sun also lives inside you. This energy is vibrating through you at all times. When you are vibrating with fear, the energy of the Universe is attracting more fearful outcomes to you. When you are vibrating from a place of faith, you are guided to outcomes that are in alignment with the calm state that faith provides.”

+ Meditate:

The best way to connect and collaborate with the Universe is through meditation. For me, meditation is the number one tool that allows me to be happy with my life exactly the way it is. When you’re sitting in stillness and meditating, there is nothing to do besides sit in your own company. There is nothing to achieve, nothing to judge, and nothing to distract you. When you uphold a consistent meditation practice, that calm satisfaction will subtly seep out into other areas of your life too.

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

stantonstreetyoga:

Pose of the Day: Urdhva Dhanurasana or Wheel Pose (shown here with leg lift)

Benefits:

The wheel pose itself improves spinal flexibility, stretches the shoulders & chest, and strengthens the arms. Adding the leg extensions increase flexibility and blood flow throughout the lower extremities and upward through the spine.

1.

Lie supine on the floor. Bend your knees and set your feet on the floor, heels as close to the sitting bones as possible. Bend your elbows and spread your palms on the floor beside your head, forearms relatively perpendicular to the floor, fingers pointing toward your shoulders.

2
Pressing your inner feet actively into the floor, exhale and push your tailbone up toward the pubis, firming (but not hardening) the buttocks, and lift the buttocks off the floor. Keep your thighs and inner feet parallel. Take 2 or 3 breaths. Then firmly press the inner hands into the floor and your shoulder blades against the back and lift up onto the crown of your head. Keep your arms parallel. Take 2 or 3 breaths.

3
Press your feet and hands into the floor, tailbone and shoulder blades against your back, and with an exhalation, lift your head off the floor and straighten your arms. Turn the upper thighs slightly inward and firm the outer thighs. Narrow the hip points and lengthen the tailbone toward the backs of the knees, lifting the pubis toward the navel.

4
Turn the upper arms outward but keep the weight on the bases of the index fingers. Spread the shoulder blades across the back and let the head hang, or lift it slightly to look down at the floor.

5
Stay in the pose anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds or more, breathing easily. Repeat anywhere from 3 to 10 times.
