[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Take care of you!"   If you live inside an out-of-control schedule, like trying to cram three days of work into one, the personal toll is high. Undoubtedly, your stress levels are high and you feel overwhelmed.   It's okay to slow down and pace yourself. The truth is you'll accomplish more if you set a reasonable pace; one that you can maintain for the long run.   Don't forget to schedule time to relax and refresh your body, soul, and spirit. Dinner with friends, a long walk or even a relaxing bubble bath will do wonders in letting go and grounding yourself.   You deserve balance in your life.  It's up to you to make it happen.   ©Jane Powell     Choose to listen to your inner voice Life is a courageous journey or nothing at all. We cannot become who we want to be by continuing to do exactly what we've been doing. Choose to listen to your inner voice, not the jumbled opinions of everyone else. Do what you know in your heart is right for YOU. It's your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. And be sure to appreciate every day of your life. Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience, and the worst days give you the best lessons.     This minute This minute is the most important one, because this minute is the one you can use. There is so much you can do in this minute if you'll simply allow the best possibilities to unfold. Let go of the regrets and guilt and resentment you've carried with you from other times. See how foolish it is to be held back by fears about days that have not yet even arrived. Think of all the good things that truly mean so much to you. Give your focus to those things, and make use of this minute, right now and right here, to expand on that goodness in your world. Don't be concerned about what might or might not be, or what others might or might not think of you. Live instead from your authentic center, and make this minute one that adds value to your experience. Though you may have good excuses for holding back, use this minute to move forward. Though the effort will not be easy, your life is worth the trouble. This minute is filled with promise and possibility. Right now is when you can transform it into real and lasting value, so do. Ralph Marston
