July 4th " Directing and producing thoughts which are good and healthy lead to sequels! "

We can't endure for long, emotionally that is, ignoring a pressing issue.

What to do then? Meet the challenge.

We defeat ourselves when we KEEP thinking about how the problem reared itself and unfolded and how that upset us in the first place! We focus on the people, places and things enveloped with the current dilemma and we get emotional over that.

Instead, we could be looking at it positively and envisioning ourselves solving it.

Stop replaying the negative in your mind.

In our thoughts we may produce and direct a positive outcome in place of the negative " matinee " that keeps replaying and which we become addicted to attend each showing! This is a time when its o.k. to be the director and producer - of thoughts which are good and healthy that is.

Directing and producing thoughts which are good and healthy lead to sequels!

July 3rd daily meditation " fleeing the scene is not an option. "

I can't predict how my day will unfold. I can predict the day about as much as I can predict which foot takes the first step each morning, left or right?

It doesn't matter what the day holds for us, we can embrace it, fear it or prepare for it.

When I prepare for the day I allow myself to feel I have the tools to meet any challenge that comes down the pike, a Higher Power, prayer, mediation but especially my friends.

I'm not going to run away any more, I can take much needed vacations, take a time out and relax or slow down but fleeing the scene isn't an option.

Help is a prayer or a phone call away!
