I love that you mentioned meditation, quieting the mind is a wonderful thing, and once we become aware of our thoughts its easy to identify them as just that - thoughts!
I was introduced months back to the law of attraction and been having great fun playing with that. Its amazing what positive vibes you can get from just stopping, looking around, and being truly grateful and appreciative for what is in front of you.
I will always remember 2 quotes in particular regarding positive thinking. The first from my yoga teacher:
"Everything is temporary, nothing is permanent."
and another from Esther (Abraham) Hicks:
"Whatever event is taking place, always remember you are just taking the path of least resistance to what you desire."
And as a brucey bonus, heres something my ex told me.
"You are literally made from the same stuff as the stars."
Dont ever forget how special you are legends! Thanks for the writeup @athenajade and have a beautiful week :)
