In the journey of life, challenges happen when you never expect them to happen. Disruptions at many levels can occur in surprising ways, so it is vital to simply slow down and take time to mindfully move forward, consciously pacing each step forward as you begin again. Focus on breath and breathe deeply as you calm thinking mind and settle emotions with every out breath. Be your own best friend by bringing compassion and loving kindness to the surface. Here you will gradually shift to being more neutral and open hearted, simply observing what is happening within and then consciously choosing better!

For instance, if you feel tension in certain areas of your body, begin by massaging those areas as you step into beginners mind and embrace positive words such as “I am okay. I’m on my way! I am fine. I feel what I feel. I am healing with every new breath I take. I love myself. I love my life. I love all that I have.” Choose best for self, moment by moment. You could even intuitively sing soothing lyrics that rise within. “I am the light of the sky . . . I am generous . . . I am open heart . . . I am capable, I am confident . . . I am, I am.” As you waltz through this, you may also connect with a close friend who resonates with these words and also receive help from them if needed. Whatever you choose consciously in moments unfolding will help you move forward in new ways. Step onto new path as an adventure you never imagined before. Imagine yourself climbing to the top of a mountain and reaching the pinnacle of success! Here you will experience and feel yourself witnessing changes in life as you start to see the bigger picture and simply begin again with fresh new thoughts and joys from loving kindness!
