[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Anything that you should have done, but didn't, ties you to your past."   Is your mental and emotional clutter getting in the way of a fulfilling life? It's time to clean out the "need-to's," "have-to's," and "ought-to's," from your past. When you have regrets it's tough to move forward and grow.   Put the past in the past. Return anything you borrowed.  Make apologies where needed. Get your bills up to date. Send the card or gift you forgot to send. Make the phone call you need to make.   Taking care of these things cleans your mental slate and eliminates any regrets or resentments you may harbor.   Now, take a deep breath; look ahead. Both your conscience, and your future vision, is clear.   ©Jane Powell           "If you never emptied the trash in your home, there would soon be a fowl smell in your home. It's the same with your mind. Your mind is the home of your thoughts. If you don't release old thoughts, your life becomes bitter with stinkin' thinkin' and emotional clutter.   Empty your mental and emotional trash can of any stressful or painful thoughts. Each day you have the choice of living in a state of grumbling or gratitude.   Don't allow the irritations and challenges of this day or your past to steal your joy. Holding on to toxic emotions is not healthy or productive. Your toxic emotions can negatively impact your health, peace of mind, relationships and work. Just as you empty your trash at home often, you have to do the same with your mind.   Count your blessings. Change your point view. Each moment is a gift to you. Focus on your priority for this day. Do the best you can right now where are and with what you have. It's only a matter of time before your change comes.   Start giving thanks right now for the wonderful break through about to happen in your life. That's right ... smile...sit up straight...shake off the heavy stress, speak and walk with courage. Jewell Diamond Taylor    When you care   The way to be strong is to care. The way to be informed is to care, and to do something about what you care about.   The way to be competent, effective, persuasive, inspiring and successful is to care about what you're doing. Life responds in a positive way when you take a real, authentic interest and invest yourself in it.   It isn't what you're doing that determines whether you're wasting your time. It's how much care you put into what you're doing that matters.   When you make the task meaningful, it will be meaningful. When you truly care, and act on what you care about, you're able to create value in any situation.   Do what you care about, and care about what you do. Be a real, live, genuine, original person, and not just an automaton.   Give care to each moment, each task, each person, and each experience. Life's best possibilities are fulfilled when you truly care.    Ralph Marston   - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
