My Favorite Blanket and Why You Need One Too!

As a child I had a pillow. I don't know if I named it, or even what color it was. I only know because I was told I had a pillow. I imagine that it was warm and comfy and smelt like roses. Though now having children of my own, I highly doubt that it looked like anything I imagined it to be. 😂

When both my children were born they were each gifted a blanket. Very fuzzy, soft and pastel colored favorites that soon became strewn over the floors, thrown out of windows and moving cars and tied up as forts. They also became go to comforters. If they cried- blanket. Hungry- blanket. Sick- blanket. This list went on and on and it seemed as though these rectangular fluffs were unending in their magic to soothe.

It amazed me how useful they became and how dependent we were on them, never leaving the house without them and turning back if they were left anywhere.

At the very least they provided warmth, at the ver most they provided comfort and as I journey to become the very best version of myself, I have found one for myself that does just that!

My Blanket is positivity.

Before you think huh??? Why did she make me read all that to come with this cliché, hear me out.

I surround myself with positivity, hec and if I feel like I cannot find it I CREATE it! I delve into inspirational quotes, music or beautiful visual stimulation. I can cover myself completely in a warm blanket of comfort, support and POSITIVITY! There's truth in my granny saying "you are what you eat" and "show me your friends and I will show you who you are".  And because I create this energy, it seems to find me! The most interesting thing about it is that I've also learnt to submerge my senses in positivity so that I don't rely on external factors to provide it for me:

• Sight- On mornings I always look up to the sky and enjoy the landscape, even if I'm indoors I look through a window and appreciate the beauty of nature. 
• Smell- I inhale deeply as I awaken and acknowledge the scents- coffee? rain? bacon?
• Taste- I always savor what I am putting into my body- even if its a glass of water, I drink slowly and meaningfully.
• Touch- I love the feeling of breeze or hot or cold water on my skin.
• Hearing- I listen carefully to the birds, cars moving, the sounds of life happening around me. I put on educational podcasts and inspirational music.

I look at everything with curiosity, through the eyes of wonder.  I allow myself to think of  of people I love and their situations and how I can help them. Doing good and being kind to others  makes me happy. And constantly being grateful creates the art of contentment and peace of mind.

From everything I read, the shows I watch, the pages and influencers I follow and especially the people around me, I've carefully selected an uplifting and positive blanket around me. The energy transfers freely and brightly illuminates everything around me.

When you can, take a moment to apply this to even one thing in your life. I promise you, creating your own blanket will cover you with an armor of protection that you never knew you needed!

Let me know in the comments what you think and send this to a friend or neighbor that needs to know they can create their own happiness!
