Choose JOY–EveryDay!

My bosses sent an email on Christmas Day with things to do for that day….BUT I think we would all be better off if we did these things EVERYDAY!! This is our challenge to you.

So for today, put down the stress of too much to do and too little time, forget about that growing stack of bills or the shrinking bank account and just BE PRESENT in the moment.

Find the JOY in THIS moment, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing…

Wrap yourself up in all the GOOD STUFF.

Don’t Let Stress Rule Your Life!

Trying to keep up with the daily demands of LIFE (job, finances, home, family, etc) can be overwhelming!! No matter how hard we try to stay calm, things come up that cause stress in our lives. One main stressor for me in the past two years has been my car!! It is customized (at great expense) for my husband’s power chair so we cannot just trade it in. We have had some major bills and every time the light comes on signaling a problem, I can feel the stress mounting in my body. I have done nothing to cause the car problem and I cannot fix it myself so I should be able to just take it to the mechanic and not be concerned….but I have not figured out how to do that!

How about you? What is stressing you? Do you ever experience anxiety–panic attacks–feel worried–feel your heart race? You are not alone!! Nearly 1 in 5 adults suffer from anxiety.

Count Your Blessings

We have just been through a stressful week of watching a massive hurricane tear through the islands and head straight to Florida. We prepared all we could, but how do you ever really prepare? It Irma had hit our area of Florida at a Category 4 or 5, it would have been devastating. Category 2 was more than enough. I prayed and tried not to panic as we waited and the winds were battering my home.

What did I learn from Hurricane Irma?

I learned the value of family texting me almost hourly to be sure we were okay. Of family researching and telling me where there were still gas stations with any gas (I didn’t even mind waiting in line 30-45 minutes to get gas). My family reached out with love and support from 900 miles away and I felt that love. It gave me strength and encouragement.

We all experience stress at some time in our lives, but constant, daily stress is harmful.

Do you procrastinate doing a task because you just cannot get started?
