When your buttons get pushed

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Sometimes your buttons get pushed and you want to react. When your anger gets triggered you sometimes feel that there are only two ways to deal with it: respond with anger or hold it inside-afraid your anger will get the best of you.
There is another way.

Say what you mean, mean what you say and don't say it meanly.
If at the moment you can't do that then give yourself a small time out - count to ten (or a hundred) and then speak your truth.
Say it quietly with love.

However you choose to respond when a button gets pushed is up to you. Before you respond ask yourself this:
Will the person(s) be more likely to really hear what I have to say if I say it with anger or with calm and love?
Then your choice becomes simple and the result you get will follow your choice.

Affirm:
     Today I speak my truth by saying what I mean, meaning what I say and not saying it meanly.

Have a Truthful Monday!

Go Within

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Many times we search outside of ourselves for the the things that we think we need to makes us happy. We look to other people for the solutions, for love and approval.
Today, look within yourself and know that you have all you need to get through this day. Trust your inner wisdom, your intuition, your knowledge.
Know that you are right where you need to be and that you are more than enough to handle whatever this day brings.

Affirm:
     Today I seek my own counsel and give myself the seal of approval.

Have an inner guided Monday!
