Tonight, unusual activity in the Universe brings a clarity of thinking. Strong activities usually signal a rebirth within us, new beginnings from which we can begin the next part of our Life Journey. Accept and embrace reality. Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. Don’t regret your time, even the moments that were filled with hurt. Smile because you learned from it and gained the strength to rise above it.
The three Cs in life: choice, chance, change. You must make the choice to take the chance if you want anything in life to change. We all have within us, a stillness and a sanctuary to which we can retreat at any time and be ourselves. Although we can’t always change what’s going on around us, we can change how we relate to circumstances by learning how to center ourselves in a time of uncertainty. With the ups and downs of everyday life, our emotions can take us on a roller coaster ride. When we are in a stressed mental and emotional state, we can be consumed by negative self-talk, easily distracted, and unable to focus. Take time to relax. We seem to have too much energy swirling in our heads. We need to be centered with both feet on the ground. Breathe in – breathe out. Pay attention to your breath, no matter what is happening around you. Sometimes standing or sitting still makes our internal chaos worse. In these cases, try mindful walking. By learning to center yourself and stay calm and serene, you will be able to handle possible restlessness. The thing about relaxation is this. It’s a simple and powerful mindfulness technique that can restore your sense of balance and equilibrium. And you can do it anywhere at any time. Before you leave home each morning, sit and breathe. Do this even if only for one minute. Give it your full attention. Then go out and start your day.
