When Life Gives You Lemons…

Sydne Style shows cute lemon print tops for summer in forever 21 camiWhen life gives you lemons, it only takes 30 seconds to make lemonade.

At the beginning of this month, I started a happiness project to help remind myself to appreciate the small moments of life. I called my gratitude experiment #ssHappyMay and documented mini moments on Insta Stories that made me happy.

Now that we’re at the end of May, I took a look back at my #ssHappyMay highlights and reflected on what brings me joy: Bunny, flowers, being by the water and spending time with family and friends.

I enjoyed the experiment and it really helped me focus on activities that I truly enjoy doing. But I’m now moving on to a different practice. That’s where the 30 seconds to lemonade comes in.

My new therapist, Kathryn Lubow, who I’m obsessed with, has been helping me bring more mindfulness into my everyday life. One exercise she taught me is called  “taking in the good,” developed by neuroscientist Rick Hanson. It feels like an extension of my #ssHappyMay and has already brought me more positivity. I asked Kathryn to explain it for my Sydne Style fam in case you want to join me in taking in the good. Here’s what she had to say:

Taking in the good

“We take an ordinary neutral or pleasant activity, such as our first sip of coffee in the morning. We notice the pleasant sensations as they arise, such as the scent or the feeling of the mug in our hand. And we stay with any other pleasant sensations that arise for 30 seconds. This way we are exercising our mindful awareness by taking time to savor experiences we might often overlook or ignore.

This helps to rewire our brain to develop more capacity to stay with positive experiences. We can practice this many times a day, each time we notice flowers as we walk by, hear a song we love on the radio or eat our favorite food. Take your pick and it is fun to discover what activities you enjoy the most!”  – Kathryn Lubow

So there you have it, it only takes 30 seconds to make a little lemonade into your life!

    Having a lot of work requires having enough energy so that we can sleep normally and other things that make us much healthier. Therefore, I would like to say that you will definitely be able to feel more relaxed if you just try to consume CBD in the form of vape juice that you can order using this torch diamond thc-o. This will definitely help you to have the best relaxation. I hope you like it.

    I was also suffering from an unpleasant health condition and I think everyone should care more. Similarly, I also work a lot because I need a high salary and it gives me the opportunity to succeed. However, medical care is also necessary for everyone, and we are no exception. So try to consume rolling trays on this site https://puffpuffpassit.com/collections/rolling-trays once it helped me to keep any weed crumbs from falling and can be used as sort of a mini table. Now it is popular, so you might also be more interested in this topic.

    Whenever I was told that everything on the Internet is a scam, I simply took and ordered something and successfully received the goods I needed. I also had this site https://everythingfor420.com/collections/bongs , I went to it, ordered some cbd products and it came in the shortest possible time, moreover, with good quality and I am more than satisfied with the purchase. Also you can buy some bongs here.

    STD testing has numerous advantages for individuals who are sexually active. Many STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning that a person can be infected without experiencing any noticeable symptoms. Testing in thr local std testing center can help identify infections before they cause serious health problems. Good luck.

    Hi friends, I have been suffering from stress for a very long time and even smoking doesn’t calm me down anymore. Should I try CBD?

      Hi. CBD oil is very good but if you are into vaping and want to try something new, you should try cbd infused vape juice https://askgrowers.com/cbd/cbd-vaping/cbd-vape-juice. And the best place to get it is AskGrowers. They have a huge selection of flavors and strengths, so you can customize your vaping the way you like it. And let me tell you, it’s very relaxing. Also, their customer service is top notch, so if you have any questions or problems, they’re always happy to help.
