"Stretch and take a deep breath…"
Do you spend a lot of time feeling anxious and stressed? Does your body have its own way of tightening? Do your shoulders feel tense and hard? Maintaining this state for periods of time can do all kinds of unpleasant things to your mind and your body.
It's essential that you relax and take care of yourself. Here's how. Have you ever watched a sleeping baby? Babies breathe in and out, with their tummy muscles. As adults, we hold our tummies in, focused on that perfect figure. But, breathing slowly, from your tummy, is the first step to total relaxation.
With that in mind, try this simple escape. Find a comfortable chair in a quiet place and just breathe, in and out, like a sleeping baby or a confident adult. Tune into the rhythm of your breathing. Shun away other thoughts. Within minutes your shoulders will relax, the anxiousness will subside and you will feel the stress leave your body. And, all you had to do was breathe like a baby.
Feels pretty good, doesn't it?

Live the life you love
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go;
be what you want to be, because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.
Don't count the years-count the memories...........
Let the negative thoughts go
Don't fight the negative thoughts. Just accept them, and then quickly let them go.
If you push and struggle against your own negativity, you prolong it and make yourself even more negative. Instead, choose to quickly let it go and to direct your powerful energy toward positive purposes.
You don't have to feel guilty or regretful about being negative. Simply move on to something more meaningful and life affirming.
Accept what has been, and suddenly you are no longer burdened by it. Be truly thankful that you have a choice, and make that choice to look forward rather than backward.
Stop letting your own negativity get to you, and soon it will stop coming to you. When your negative thoughts cease to provoke a reaction, they lose their negativity.
Let go of each negative thought the moment it arises. And suddenly, the moment is very positive and productive.
