hoping for healthy and smooth times ahead
All day I have been reminding myself to breathdeeply, to relax since today is one of the calmestdays I have had for a long while.But still I catch myself worrying and wanting to rusharound. My mind is filled with things I should be doingor need to do.I REMIND MYSELF THAT MY LIFE LONG GOAL IS TO BEA HAPPY, PEACFUL AND POSITVE PERSON.The time to achieve this is now!!! There is no reason why I cannot live like I want to this very moment.And so I am sure the struggle will go on all day.But I will remind myself to breath deeply, to stop andnotice the warm sun on my skin, to listen to the soundof the birds. To be grateful for my life and the chanceto take it slow to take it all in through all my senses... wishing everyone peace, friendship and love

God bless you Ida! What a wonderful journal! Just what I needed to read today. It is really important to just take time out and enjoy life. Breathing deeply is really important in dealing with stress. I have been working on that lately. When I am stressed, I try to stop and do a minute or two of deep breathing. There are alot of breathing techniques. I learned about taking a calming breath(breath deeply in hold to count of 5 and breath out to the count of 5 then take two normal breaths and repeat the whole process).It is supposed to calm you down when you are feeling anxious. Enjoy the sunshine and the birds and life. Peace to you my friend.:0)
I think it\'s important that we have the goal to be happy and peaceful - as our emotions ebb and flow up and down, we can work towards the middle ground, the balance, and find peace there.
*hugs and peace* to you xxoo
