time needs time-of-need
We have as much time as we need.
fun healthy important
Arranging for and allowing ourselves to have fun is an important part of taking care of ourselves. It helps us stay healthy. It helps us work better. It balances life. We deserve to have fun. Fun is a normal part of being alive. Fun is taking time to celebrate being alive.
spiritual heart creative
According to some Eastern religion, there is a belt that goes across the world, and I've heard that Minnesota is right in the heart of this spiritual-creative belt of energy.
guilt would-be boundaries
Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.
recovery peaceful problem
Our best problem-solving resource is peace. Solutions arise easily and naturally out of a peaceful state.
happiness gratitude grateful
We need to set goals for ourselves. Start today...if you don't have any goals, make your first goal getting some goals. You probably won't start living happily ever after, but you may start living happily, purposefully, and with gratitude...Goals are gratitude in action. They give us the opportunity to build on what we already have. While achieving goals can be a lengthy process, we can learn to be grateful for each stage in the process of setting and meeting goals.
gratitude fullness-of-life being-thankful
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
letting-go resentment hardened
Resentments are hardened chunks of anger. They loosen up and dissolve with forgiveness and letting go.
letting-go want persons
If that person doesn't want to be in your life, just let him or her leave.
choices our-choices consequence
We don't just get our choice; we get the consequence that choice creates.
self-esteem past forgiving
Embrace and love all of yourself - past, present, and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often as necessary. Encourage yourself. Tell yourself good things about yourself.
excellence let-it-go moments
We don't have to do it any better than we can - ever. Do our best for the moment, then let it go. If we have to redo it, we can do our best in another moment, later.
gratitude positive-energy negative
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitude's power.
money attitude believe
Money is not evil. There is no scarcity, except in our mind and attitudes. And what we believe we deserve will be about what we shall receive.
