Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Look Up For 3 Seconds

A Brilliant Strategy for ‘’Stress. Less.’’

There’s nothing like projecting an optimist mindset every time we plot our future and write down our dreams. Positive thinking is a key to achieving your dream goals, but in reality, it’s pretty much impossible to do it 24/7. You can’t be perky-and-perfect Little Miss Sunshine all the time. And, that’s okay. It’s a given that you’re going to have a bad hair days, feel crappy about work, go through relationship snafus, lose faith in the people around you, want to hibernate for a week, whatever. What matter is how you deal with it and face it head-on.
The next time a negative thought pops into your head, pause to take a second and close your eyes. Then tilt back your face so that it points at the ceiling (with your eyes still shut), and attempt to keep the thought in your mind. Try doing it now. It’s surprisingly hard, right? It will take a few seconds for our head to adjust to the new position, and whatever you were fretting about will suddenly go out of focus. Instead of trying to recapture your train of though, let it go. Pretty soon, things will start to, well, look up.
