Just BREATHE!!


I'm sure you've had one of those weeks where it seems like so much is being  thrown at you all at once.
You feel like you're putting out fires all day every day and at the end of the day you need that calming glass of Merlot as you unravel yourself.
Well, I'm in the middle of one of those weeks and my mantra is "just breath" then I smile.
I'm telling you, it's totally working. When my blood is boiling and my heart is pounding and I feel the tension rising, I close my eyes, take a deep cleansing breath and smile.
I love it! I'm so grateful for my level of  awareness these days, because when I return to a more peaceful state, I can think straight.
Freaking out has never helped me, ever! And trust me, I used to  throw adult  fully  grown temper tantrums that would  make toddlers blush, shake their heads and walk away. Just ask my sister.
The woman that writes this blog today is a product of  years of amazing books, seminars, mentors and like minded people who are on a similar journey of constant, personal growth and development.

It's always wonderful to remember how far I've come. So I always love to share a great book, audio, video or something that's relevant to what I'm talking about.

This week it's The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Before I read this book it followed me around. I mean
it was everywhere! A close friend was reading it, it was spotted on another's coffee table, someone was reading  across from me on the bus. So I gave in and bought it and read it and WOW! What a paradigm shift  it was for me. The magic of being present in the  present has been a  gift to my  life.
So to the rough road I smile and say "this too shall pass".
