MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

BREATHE

Take a deep breath. Centre yourself. Calm your beating heart. Breathe again.

We all have days when we feel tired and overwhelmed. It happens. It’s called life. Breathe.

The tiredness will pass. Eliminate the overwhelming by taking care of yourself. Breathe.

Rest. Take the day for you. Choose to allow yourself not to be rushed. Give yourself time to recover.

You are only human. Accept it. Refocus and find your peace. BREATHE.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

AMAZING THINGS

Sometimes we move through life so fast we do not give ourselves room to think, let alone breathe and “smell the roses”. Sometimes all the hustle is to cover up the fact that we are aching, the bustle to keep ourselves occupied from thinking. Sometimes we simply do not realize what we are doing until we suddenly stop for a moment and realize.

When we move so fast we can miss the things that are there for us, sometimes waiting, sometimes knocking on the glass, sometimes chasing after us, sometimes simply looking for the right moment. We might miss an opportunity we passed by so quickly we never even knew it was there. We might miss the stranger who could have become someone important given half a chance. We might miss what deep down we are truly seeking in keeping busy.

When we stop and allow our mind a moment of stillness we can hear that knocking, the pursuit, that little whisper inside telling us truths we might have been “running from”. We allow not just our mind rest, but our body too, allowing it opportunity to refresh as our soul renews. We can see what we’re doing to it and determine the steps to “right the wrong”.

Pausing, if only for what seems like a moment can be enough. It gives life a chance to “catch up” with the amazing things that it has been desirous of for you, the blessings He wants you to have, the opportunities that call for you alone. When you stop and rest you allow all the amazing things meant for you to finally reach you and when that happens, you can see your life start to change in new and different ways. Perhaps some you might not have thought to want or have again.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

NEW BREATH START

The night drifted off in tearful slumber, waking you with distraction that prevented sleep for some time, but eventually you were there again in the darkness of your dreams, in the early hours of morning. When you woke it was still dark, your mind a blurred headache, your body cold where you lay, and the tears that kept you company not so long before began to knock again on the door of your soul, flooding you with emotion so crippling that you want to run and hide and NO longer BE as you exist.

But it is morning now, and the light begins to filter in through the uncovered windows, a soft and gentle touch of the sky hued aquamarine and mandarin. The air is fresh as you feel it cool upon your bare skin, causing a shiver through your already trembling body, a tremor that climbs inside your veins and travels to your heart and mind, wanting you to realize that the dawn is a NEW one, the day a FRESH start in what is going to become of the rest of your life.

Though your soul is weary and your heart hurt, your mind spinning in circles from all that has been left unanswered and the omissions of truth, it IS a NEW day, and that means an opportunity to begin to live again, start over with your dream in focus, and allow yourself room to err and forgive as you do. The dawn filters in hope with its light and glimmers of faith shimmer in your soul, and you know deep down that in the end it will be ok, even if it seems like ok might never come.

So, in the beginning light of this new day given to you, take a deep breath and fill your lungs with that fresh air, opening your soul to the possibilities that starting over again will bring, and try to relax. Understand, hard as it is, that not all things are meant to be, and while they blessed you immeasurably in the brief time that you had, when you love you must let go and move on when your soul no longer finds peace in such presence, dying a little more day by day, so that you can begin to LIVE AGAIN.
