RELAX....and Breathe

Hi All,

I hope you're all off to a great start on your Friday.   My last post was about control.  Today I'd like to stay in that vein a little bit.  I'm featuring some pictures with messages that may help to inspire you to relax and take care of yourself and not try to manage or regulate other people or events.


Here's a great one.  "When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing.  Relax, breathe, let go, and just live."  How many of us try to manage or control everything or most everything in our lives?  How about controlling people?  How is that working out for you?  Probably not very well.  When we let go and relax and live in the present moment...things begin to flow....and that feels great.  So let all of that go...


What do we think about most of the time?  Do you have thoughts that weaken you?  Obsese about others or maybe you think of how you've been treated by others and how you'll "get even" with them.  Those thoughts won't serve you...Try to let go of the negative thoughts.  Thoughts come and go - you really can never turn off the mind.  However, you can train your mind.  Watch what you think - without judgement.  Observe.  When you have thoughts come that "don't make you strong," or that don't serve you, tell yourself - this is not true - know it.  Then - let it go.  Perhaps, tell yourself what is true, how you are a strong, beautiful child of God.  Let go/train yourself not to dwell on the negative. 


I love this one..."20 Stress Reducing Self Care Ideas."  Self care is very important.  Be good to yourself - mentally and emotionally, and also physically as well.  Great ideas here on this picture...take a walk, watch a good movie, get a massage, read a good book, etc....  I'm sure you can think of other ways to be good to yourself.

Today - enjoy what you're doing (working, cleaning the house, hiking, seeing family or friends, etc).  Be present, without judging - just enjoy the moment.  And be grateful....gratitude makes everything better.  For most of us, this is do-able.  If you have big huge needs and issues...get help.  Ask, search the web, call a hotline, and make the changes you need to...you can do it. 

Have a great day everyone - and a great weekend.  I'll close with one more that I've seen on social media occasionally.  "Kindness - it's free, spread that shit around."  Now go do it (and I'll do it too).

Peace and Love,

Tom
