LIGHTEN UP!
Are you ready to release some of the old baggage you have so dearly been clinging to? Well, let’s get on with it. There’s just too much fun that you are missing out on! Let’s go!
Where shall we start? How about the usual place, inside yourself, for that is where the seeds have been planted and where the roots are growing. Let’s do some weeding today so you can better nurture your growth.
Take some deep breaths, releasing the concerns of the day. Take a few moments to do this. When distracting thoughts come in, gently release them. If need be, focus completely on your breath as you inhale and exhale.
Ahhhhh, doesn’t that feel better? You know, you can do this anytime you are feeling off balance. Teach it to your friends, your children, your co-workers. It’s easy and you can do it while driving, walking, eating or any other activity. You will be much better able to make clear decisions and to find areas that need your attention when you are not stressed out and tense.
Take about five or ten minutes to set the intention that you will focus on the positive all day. Visualize yourself smiling and being kind all day. If there is an activity that is likely to be heavy or dark, see yourself happy, no matter how glum everyone around you may be. Take a few more deep breaths, smile, and move forward. Well, that’s it! Lighten up and enjoy the journey!
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” ~ Psalm 150:6
