The best place...

...to put your body is in a grateful state.

You have to work at being grateful

when life seems to be challenging you.

Practice intentional focus.

As soon as your feet hit the floor in the morning...

or any time of the day...

(could be fun)

say out loud...

"I am grateful for ...."

pick 3.

Start  the day right.

Set yourself up to get to a joyful place.

notes...

I complicate things.

I've been nudged

to stop it.

I want to fix everything

(I do well to fix me...which I've gotten a nudge for that as well...I'm not the fixer...which is obvious

to me now...I know...I know..)

it all makes total sense

 so I let it go...

then

it comes back and I let it in

thee old habit 

I'm learning to

replace it with more positive habits

like trust that God knows what he's doing

and it gets a little easier

definitely more effective.

I read that

there have been studies proving

'faith resonates with your cells accordingly'

it makes you healthier

& you feel better...

it's a win win

you are indeed lovable

since it is God's love

that dwells in you

find your own uniqueness 

in His Love

"And the peace of God,

which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds..."

Phil 4:7

don't try to understand 

what God is doing,

when He says it

surpasses your understanding

Access where you are right now

and where you're trying to go

spot bad habits

take action

shift your focus

imagine letting that habit go

how does your body feel?

you can release lousy behaviors

and what isn't working

bust yourself on the false rewards

pay attention to the small things

greatness has to marinate

not task is too great or too small

when done in love

be well...

xoxo

'Choosing joy when life feels heavy can be a potent

shift in perspective and energy.

Take the time to quiet discontent, sadness,

frustration, and anxiety with joy

to interrupt the discomfort you feel

in lower emotional states.

When you flood your body with memories of purely

joyful moments,

you change your chemistry and the way you react.

Your nervous system responds to the flood of positive

emotions and your mood lifts.

Think about a time when your felt immense joy.

Carry that moment with you throughout the day.'
