Roll Over

Stay positive. Don't let life get to you. Look at the stars or the things above to clear your mind so you can pick yourself up. The stars can guide your way.

Are you the Jerk?

So how many jerks did you meet yesterday? Did you later figure out that you were the one with an issue? As we have continued to say, your thoughts are your world. If you are seeing negative then it is because you are thinking negative. Don't be a jerk, find the positive.

Listen

When we are young we think that we know it all. I worked with someone recently who truly had this feeling down. When I mentioned that sometimes you need to listen to the experience of others. The response I received was well they don't know everything either. I had to give up at that point and let them learn the hard way. It is important for us to take the time and really listen to what our elders have to tell us. We need to ask more questions before they are gone and we have to face things alone. See the miracles around you and learn from those who have been there before.

Worries

Do you waste the present with worries about tomorrow? Tomorrow is not guaranteed to you so worrying about it is a waste of time in the present. Trust in yourself and that you can handle what comes your way.

Under Pressure

How much pressure are you putting on yourself to be the perfect spouse, parent, friend, child, worker, student, human? Are you constantly anxious because things aren't just the way you think they should be? As with most of the things we discuss, you and you alone have the ability to make changes for the better. Let go of perfection, it doesn't exist. Instead find the beauty that is you and grow it with patience and understanding.

Your Dreams

Keep trying. Many people over the age of 70 have written books, finished college and created new lives for themselves. You can always fulfill a dream but you have to move not just think about it. Write it down, note what you need to do to make the dream happen and follow the course. Stop complaining and start doing.

Time to Relax

It is important to make time for yourself. Even if it is just 10 minutes a day in meditation. Make it a part of your routine and you will do it. When you are at your most stressed just take a couple of minutes to breath deeply. Stress causes so many of our chronic conditions that it is in our best interest to create the time needed to relax.
