A beautiful mandala coloring book for daily happiness through positive thoughts and meditative coloring. Because: A grateful person is happy. Why is it so difficult for us to enjoy the here and now full of happiness? Because we are busy thinking: 1. Either we think about our past, which means we hold on to our memories Or 2. we think about our future, which we plan out of our (mostly bad) memories These we then call experiences. We are so busy with this that we completely forget the here and now. Our thoughts about the past and future jump around in our heads like a horde of wild monkeys. They hardly ever come to rest, hardly in the present moment. We do not come to rest. Especially not when external circumstances still cause us fear or panic. Yet this very moment, this being in the here and now, is the only time when we can do something, create something. It is so important to let our thoughts come to rest so that we can think more clearly. Really make yourself clear: The past is over, the future is not yet here. Neither in the past nor in the future we can act. We can only do that HERE and NOW. You are probably asking yourself: How do I get into the here and now? Answer: With this book "Gratitude and Mandala". With the help of this coloring book you can realign your focus. You focus on the here and now and on the positive in your everyday life. Then you say thank you. Research has shown that saying thanks makes us happy. So if we think all the time, why not say positive? The more positive we are, the more relaxed we can handle our often stressful everyday life. Especially in situations of greater stress, it is all the more important to find and maintain calm. A wonderful book for self-help and self-reflection. In order for your brain to get used to new thinking habits, it has to repeat something over and over again. It is similar to the training of muscles. A new habit needs at least 21 days, preferably 2 x 21 days, so that it can become an integral part of our life. Try this new way of thinking of happiness and joy and see how your life changes. Change your thoughts and your feelings change. Then your feelings change your thoughts. You do not believe it? Try it yourself.
