When the stress seems paramount and you think you can’t handle any more, remember…..
YES, YOU CAN!
Often we are hit with so much at one time we may think we just can’t handle it. The secret is, WE CAN! We have to if we are on a mission to accomplish our goals, whether at work or at home.
I will say what I’ve said in class so many times. STOP for a minute or two. Take a slow and mindful breath to energize you mind and body. Your exhalation makes room for more healing oxygen. It is also the time to think, “I am exhaling and pushing self-defeating thoughts out with the carbon dioxide.”
Slow down for 30 seconds and pull yourself together. We have been given a great natural instinct from within, to help us find an answer, or at least find a resolve to what seems to be unbelievable circumstances that surround us. We just must slow down.
Change the subject. Divert your own attention to something else momentarily. Take another mindful breath!
What is the worst that can happen? If you can fathom handling that, you can handle anything. If you think you can’t, then think again! Life is tough, but we have within our minds, the tools and power to rise above the obstacles.
Stop listening to all the negative things that include the words: I can’t, I won’t, I won’t be able to, I give up, I quit, etc. Never give up.
Just when you think you can’t handle everything – everything will change. Give it a bit of time.
Ninety percent of what we waste our lives worrying about never comes to fruition. STOP wasting your life on “worry and doubt”.
The worry doesn’t do anything except hurt you and all those around you. Instead, handle anything that crosses your path. Never give up or give in! If I sound like a cheerleader I probably am. I know you can alleviate so much unnecessary stress by just controlling your thoughts, hence, actions.
Now take a breath and relax! It will all be okay.
