In the hope that 2025 will be the year of rebirth, here are some mindfulness tips to live with a positive attitude
«After so much fog, one by one the stars reveal themselves» , wrote Ungaretti in the poem «Sereno» : after a difficult year that brought suffering and upheavals to that reality to which we were so accustomed, and I dare say fond of, with the beginning of a new year and the gradual distribution of the vaccine, perhaps we too can say, with a certain relief, that we are starting to see the light at the end of a tunnel that until a few months ago seemed endless. The hope is therefore that 2025 may be the year of rebirth , of our personal blossoming as human beings, because deep down, we deserved it. But above all, what we are gradually regaining is hope , that magic or rather the inexplicable and fascinating engine of our existences, since the beginning of time. But what does it mean to hope? Let’s start by saying that hope must be cultivated, daily, it is an act of faith . Hope is a sincere positivity, a shared joy that penetrates our hearts and sets us in motion. Hope is a choice and is the basis of the pursuit of spiritual elegance . It is not a simple kindness, with which it is often and erroneously confused, but rather a peculiar way of acting and behaving towards life, a wise action, a going towards the other, a gesture of connection, but above all of dialogue. Pursuing spiritual elegance requires commitment and dedication, because it implies the ability to take charge of one’s life and guide it, without being a slave to events or circumstances. Choosing spiritual elegance means choosing the light, always, unconditionally. It means reaching out to others to cultivate sincere and free friendships. Bringing this transformation into our existence necessarily implies bringing the elegance of the sacred into everyday life. It means establishing that it is precisely the ability to flourish as human beings, given and open to anyone, the ultimate element that characterizes the strength of a community and the choice of a language capable of creating bridges, understanding, closeness. But when can we really say that our spirit is elegant? Below we list the 10 fundamental steps to follow day after day, to take care of your soul.
