Do You Want To Calm Overthinking and Overwhelm?

Overuse of terms like 'gratitude' and 'mindfulness' can block the profoundly personal practice of feeling deep appreciation of all that you already are.  Doing rather than judging is the important distinction here....look past cliche and try!

Good thinking needs daily nourishment from an enriching and sustaining pot.  Just like eating, we choose what goes in to feed and grow our thought.  Nourish thoughts with positives, feed inspiring options to your best you, the once a day then on your way, impacting all you do.
 

Talking with an old friend words popped out that I never thought I’d say, “Every time I meditate I have a better day”.  Meditation works!  It clears the decks and calms the choppiest of seas, and from a place of stillness you choose well, with reason and clarity. 

Excuses are the words we use to hide truth from ourselves, but simply stop them now and you will free yourself.  That our lives are ours is sometimes hard when there are parts that we don’t like, but forgive yourself, be honest, accept and do not hide.  Accept the truth that what you want will take some pushing to, drop excuses, they don’t feel good, and you’re not fooling you.

Choosing positivity does not mean blocking out all pain. It is not negative to feel! Denial is the clogging mud, and truth helps us to heal.
