Mindfulness = Choice = Power
You have no control over anyone or anything in the outer world, but the great news is you have 💯 control over how you will respond.
Sitting in quiet with yourself every day, connecting within to the power of being present, this is your mindfulness training for life.
So when you find yourself in a stressful, chaotic moment, pause, take a few breaths, make a choice, then take the best option for you and others. 💪

(You’re overthinking because you really care. You don’t want to fail. You don’t want to let people down. But no amount of planning, worrying, or over-analyzing can give you control over what happens next. Breathe. Loosen your grip. Experience life as it comes.-Michell C Clark)

Tell yourself something good and then share that with others.

Our perceptions and emotions shape our reality. This was a core teaching of the Buddha. Your mind will believe whatever you tell it is true. If you fill your mind with anger or fear, this becomes your truth. Fill your consciousness with love and gratitude, that becomes your truth. What we believe shapes the feelings we have and how we experience the world.

Act as if. Baby steps, one at a time.

Finding our power when we’re overwhelmed, confused or depressed requires us to do something even when we don’t want to or don’t feel we can. We have all been there, and taking action is the only way out. We may not be able to clean the entire house today, but we can clean out one kitchen drawer. We may not be able to find a job, but we can make an appointment with someone who can help us network. Onward today! ❤️ BeginWithYes.com

You have the power to create the life you want

・・・
“You have the power to create. Your power is so strong that whatever you believe comes true. You create yourself, whatever you believe you are. You are the way you are because that is what you believe about yourself. Your whole reality, everything you believe is your creation. You have the same power as any other human in the world. The main difference between you and someone else is how you apply your power & what you create with your power… You have practiced all of your life to be what you are, and you do it so well that you’ve mastered what you believe you are.”

Letting go leaves more space for the things that matter most.

"Buddhism teaches that joy and happiness arise from letting go. Please.. take an inventory of your life. There are things you’ve been hanging on to that really are not useful and deprive you of your freedom. Find the courage to let them go." ~Thich Nhat Hanh
