Feel it so you can Heal it

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Use pain as a steppingstone, not a campground.  ~ alan cohen

This quote reminds me that there is a tendency to avoid pain at all costs, deflect it, distract from it, suppress it, medicate it so we don't have to FEEL it.
However, pain is a sign to us that there is an imbalance calling for our attention, for us to learn from. Pain is a signal that our body, mind, and spirit is actively working on some kind of healing.

When we can focus on the pain to ask "What are you trying to teach me and how may I assist in my own healing?" we make new awarenesses. The biggest of which is:
           Postponing Feeling is Postponing Healing.

Affirm:
     Whatever I can Feel, I can Heal.

Don't Forget to Breathe!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Many times when our day or life becomes hectic we speed up our pace trying to keep up with everything and everyone. When we do this we don't even realize that our breathing changes. We breathe shallower, faster and sporadically. The physical effect this has on our bodies and our brains is that we take in less oxygen and keep more carbon dioxide.
This results in feeling sluggish, tense, irritable and out of balance.

So today, don't forget to Breathe! Take a moment of your day and stop and breathe in .... fully and completely and then breathe out .... fully and completely.

Then take a moment to review your pace for the day. If you are feeling hectic, stressed, feeling like time is running out or that you need to clone yourself 3 or 4 times to get everything done, perhaps this is the time to slooooow down! Revise your schedule, delegate some things out, prioritize, bump some things to the next day, or week, and then put a time slot in there just for you.
Prioritize yourself into your day today. Breathe yourself into a calm space and breath in more oxygen to your system and re-balance your body and your brain. NOW - you're ready for anything!

Affirm:
     Today I remember to Breathe myself into balance.

Have a full tank of oxygen Thursday!

What if ....

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in the "what ifs". Just for today see what happens when you focus on having gratitude and appreciation for "what is" working in your life. If you can't let go of the "what if" negatives then at least say a "what if" positive to balance it out. After all a what if positive has just as much chance of happening as the what if negative.

Affirm:
     Today I ask myself, "What if I stay positive, think positive thoughts and feel positively great?"

Have a great Monday finding out the answer-
