Sometimes we all need a little reminder….to stop and smell the roses, breathe in life, and play for a moment.
#1. Create and set Boundaries.
Boundaries reflect what others can or cannot do or say to you. You will feel protected from hurtful situations.
#2. Ask people to Help you.
Choose three things today to ask for help with….you will feel relief as you have less to cope with and get done.
#3. Quiet your Mind at least once a day.
Concentrate on your breathing and let your thoughts go. You will act more on your intuition this way.
#4. Explore and Experience your feelings fully.
Accepting your feelings rather than fighting them, lets you know where in your life you can make some changes.
#5. Plan for some Fun everyday.
Even if it is just for 5 minutes, you will have something to look forward to…and discover balance in your life.
#6. Communicate your Feelings with the statement, ” I feel ……..when…….happens. ”
This formula lets you talk about your feelings and the other person’s behavior, not them personally.
#7. Write in your journal Everyday.
This will help you to clarify your life and your priorities as to where to take action and perhaps make some new choices.
#8. Take Time for yourself regularly.
It may be a walk….a warm bath….a massage….take good care of you.
#9. Use the words ” Would you…?” When asking for things.
The other person feels capable and having a choice rather than being told what to do.
#10. Show your Appreciation !!!
Others love to be noticed and you will live in a loving way towards others….and be appreciated too !!

Peace of mind does not only come to us when everything is going well. It is a combination of many areas of our life that can sustain us when life is not going well.
#1. Forgiveness.
Let go of anger toward anyone, including yourself.
#2. Reserves.
Have the awareness that you are not going to run out of the things that can cause disruption in your life, eg. gas,food,water…and even love.
#3. Acceptance of yourself and others.
The only person you can change is you. Let the past go and make better decisions for your future.
#4. Have a Clear Conscience.
Act always as though someone you respect is watching you.
#5. Support.
Know where you can turn for support or help. A shoulder to cry on, someone to listen. If you need help….ask for it.
#6. Surroundings that comfort you and bring you joy.
Keep your home tidy, organized, and attractive to you. Involve all of your senses, smell, touch, and music.
#7. Wrap up your to do lists, and catch up any over due bills.
Just making progress on this area, will bring you peace of mind. Set a schedule to complete them. Ask for help.
#8. Know that you are connected to Something….
Your family, your church, your friends, your support group…know that you do BELONG.
#9. You are not a victim.
You have a choice. Look at all of your options….they are there in front of you. Brainstorm to find them.
#10. Know that you can change the World.
One person can have an impact….so help out, volunteer, create the ripple in the pond that will affect others lives.
Let there be Peace on earth….and Let it Begin with Me.
