Stop getting attached to people so fast, because attachments lead to expectations and expectations can lead to disappointments.

“The 7 wonders of the world are that we can see, hear, taste, touch, smell, laugh, and love."
This is exactly what mindfulness is all about. It's about noticing all of the things that we so easily take for granted, but that are actually the things that make us alive and human.
When we connect with these 7 wonders, we are reminded of how amazing it is that we have the ability to:
see : such beauty all around us in people, nature, and in man-made creations
hear : songs and melodies that move us
taste : the deliciousness of all the foods we have to choose from that are so readily available
touch : things and people that comfort and soothe us
smell : different aromas that the earth provides that calm and excite us
The ability to laugh and love are the added bonuses to being human. We can choose to engage in these two wonders as often or as seldom as we want to. Since most everyone I know loves to laugh and loves to feel loved then doesn't it make sense for us to go ahead and include these with our other 5 senses?

My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling, shaming, or blackmail. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt, and no worries. I may come from a broken and twisted place, but I will build something whole and safe. I’ll sing in the shower again, cook with a smile, and dance in all the rooms. I will heal.

Love will not save you. But it will hold your hand while you save yourself. And in a world that sometimes seems void of goodness, in a world that sometimes feels too heavy to bear, I think that is all we are really searching for. Someone by our side. Someone who grounds us. Someone who will quietly hug us for twenty minutes straight while we figure it all out. I think that is all anyone really needs. Someone who sees them. Someone who stays.

Sometimes we torture ourselves with our thoughts. But sometimes, we're not "thinking too much," we're thinking things through in order to make good decisions.

How Do We Engage in Useful Thinking?
What we can do to harness this tremendous brainpower is to ensure that most, if not all, of our thinking is useful thinking. Here are four quick principles to keep in mind:-
1. When thinking, consciously push for greater clarity of the issues, with the goal to reach a decision or a plan of action within a certain timeframe. (Kinda like what we do in our jobs.)
2. Recognize when the thinking gets stuck and leads to confusion or anxiety. This is when talking it out with someone can be useful.
3. It is okay to be selective about who to talk to. Some people will not have the patience or sincerity to hear out our issues and will likely judge us as overthinking.
4. When talking out issues with someone, it is good to touch on both the positives and negatives. This helps people understand that we have thought through the issue from many angles before zooming in on specific parts that need addressing.

Two things to remember in life.
Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people.

The broken will always be able to love harder than most. Once you've been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything that shines.
