Living Well
In a society of instant gratification and convenience we easily become creatures of habit. We forget to slow down, exhale, regroup and enjoy the good life! We forget to take time to treat ourselves well. With a few lifestyle changes and a new mental perspective we can evoke change. Following are a few simple suggestions:
é Inspire Be an example of excellence! You deserve the very best! Every one counts and every heart matters. Just taking time to let someone know you care makes others smile! The gift of sacrifice not only shows that you care, it inspires others to do the same. Open a door, give a compliment, give an unexpected gift, just because and watch someone light up with pure joy. No matter how great or small the task, displaying thoughtfulness and kindness never get old. When you encourage…you inspire!
é Breathe Exhale…let it go!!! Forgive, move on and get some air. Walk, enjoy the fresh air, take the time to think and clear your head. This not only means in a physical sense, but some times it is good to just walk away from a situation; especially when we are hurt, confused or offended. Usually we react. with family, spouse, boss, unhappy people, bad drivers, etc. Don’t be a reactor, take time and THINK!!! It creates an atmosphere for good choices and decisions.
é Enjoy Take time for YOU!!! You cannot lead others if you don’t know the way yourself! There are so many free things to enjoy, (that are drama free!!!) First of all surround yourself with good things and good people. A dear friend says don’t complain about what you allow!!! Don’t just talk about it….…do something about it….action!
When we change our mindset and attitude, the possibilities are endless. Live well, feed your mind body and spirit with things that promote positive thoughts, positive energy and a positive atmosphere. Live the good life; choose to live healthy, wealthy and wise!!!!
