I had a bad fall a few weeks ago and it made me think about how precious life really is. Thankfully, I wasn’t too seriously injured, just some very unsightly bruising to the face and body for a few weeks

The shock of the fall made me think about how life can change in a heartbeat – good or bad. One minute you’re laughing and joking, and the next minute….bang…your face is smashed into the hard pavement – and in that moment, everything changes. This fall was mild in comparison to two life-threatening car crashes I was in as a teenager – the emergency services had no clue how me and my friends got out of the mangled cars alive – on both ocassions!

The Trigger

As you know, on this blog,  I prefer to focus on positivity, lightness and future dreams – that thinking energises me and hopefully you.  So when unexpected accidents happen, I see them as a ‘trigger‘ to do something positive.

So after my fall, I shifted my focus to health, body and mindset.  I went to the optician, dentist, doctor, physio – making my health top priority. I introduced new daily exercises and daily walks. I booked the dream holiday and went on a spa break. I now write in my gratitude book everyday, three things I am grateful for. I introduced intermittent fasting into my diet. I planned a long overdue trip to visit my family in Scotland. I am much more mindful and treasure the love I receive in my life – I also give more love.  You see, I used the ‘fall’ as a positive move forward for my life.

I want to truly live and be healthy for as long as I can – I am grateful for my life. It doesn’t always go to plan and gives me tough challenges to overcome but I LOVE MY LIFE – I LOVE LIVING!

Appreciate what you’ve got and more of that will appreciate.

Give yourself the GIFT OF LIVING.

I think you were meant to read this today. My dearest friend, please look after yourself.
