INHALING AND EXHALING
I had a very early appointment this morning that took much longer than I had planned. As I prepared to exit the building my mind was taken up with all of the annoyances of the day and how this appointment had put me very far behind.
Then I stepped outside and breathed in the amazing day. The air was clear, the sun was shining, and the temperature was perfect. I just stopped where I was, closed my eyes, and breathed it all in. I realized that I needed to let the morning go. It was past and I was looking forward to what the rest of the wonderful day was going to bring me.
It made me realize how often we get stuck in the past. How we let the past cloud our days. How we need to let it go and look to the future.
So that is the main thing on my agenda today. Yes, there is a long list needing my attention, but I am going to tackle it with a fresh outlook while I inhale and exhale.

transformations: what you can give and still keep
Sometimes it seems like we give and give and all that giving drains us. But there are some things that we can give and keep at the same time.
So, I think I will keep on giving these, because they make me feel good about myself, and hopefully they make others feel good, too.

transformations - speak to yourself with kindness
Yesterday I did something which I considered dumb. No, this is one of the few times I won't share it with you. But, what I will share with you is how I felt and how I spoke to myself.
It was as if the clouds were suddenly descending on me, filling my inside spaces with anger towards myself, and the first thing I said to myself was, "how could you be so dumb".
I felt myself tense up, I felt sick, and that is when I asked myself if I would say this to someone else who made the same mistake. The answer was no. I would tell them it's okay, because we all make mistakes and this is how we learn.
So I vowed to pay attention to the things I say to myself. I will speak to myself with kindness. I will show myself the same respect that I show others. I will look for that little patch of blue shining from the clouds, and I will focus on that.
Let's all vow to speak to ourselves with kindness, to tell ourselves that we are proud of what we do every day.

it's so simple really
Transformations
It's really so simple, and can take just a brief moment of our time. Yet, how often do we not do it.

I think of the times I have shared a brief smile with a stranger and I wonder if it improved their day. I know that a smile or a kind word has never made my day worse. It is so simple and it doesn't cost us a thing.

it takes courage
Transformations
It Takes Courage
This is for all of my beautiful blogging friends.
Be proud of yourself for putting yourself out there every day. It isn't easy hanging yourself out there for the whole world to see. Not everyone has the courage to do what you are doing.
It is never too late to try something new and you are so far ahead of the pack just for trying. So give yourself a well deserved pat on the back. You deserve it.
