Today’s Mantra is “Welcome the Day!”

What do you do when you wake up in the morning?

Complain that “it’s too early” to get up.

Darn, “it’s cold”, (or if you are in snow covered areas - I hate snow).

or (if you live a hot climate), “it’s too hot!”

or “I have to………today”.

Stop a minute and think….

and “Welcome the Day!”

You are alive for another day!

You have a chance to:

Spend more time with your family!

Your friends!

To do some things you always wanted to do, but haven’t yet!

You are healthly (and keep telling yourself this no matter how bad you think you feel)

“Welcome the Day!”

Be happy, joyous, loving(to yourself too), and spread this feeling!

It will make the day so much soother!

So today and everyday, when you wake from your sleep,

“Welcome the Day”!  and enjoy the beauty, like in the Snowflake here!

Today’s Mantra is “Act like a kid”!

You’ve heard adults say: “Stop acting like a kid!”

Like it’s something bad!

When is the last time you really did “act like a kid“?

That long ago?!?!

Well, it’s time to “Act like a kid” again!

And notice the “giggly” feeling you get inside!

It’s fun, try it!

Go to the park and swing on the swings, get on the seesaw, ride the merry-go-round, slide down the sliding board!!!!

Or get a loaf of bread and feed the ducks! It’s fun to have them come up and “quack” to you, thanking you for the fun they know you are having because you “act like a kid” when doing this!

Skip, jump rope (for fun, not exercise), jump on a skate board!

Do anything that reminds you of when you were a kid, and ACT LIKE A KID!

Twenty is acting like a kid here!   We had fun going down this giant sliding board WITH WAX PAPER!  It’s faster that way, you know!

Go on, you can do it, and if someone tells you to “stop acting like a kid”, tell them THEY NEED TO ACT LIKE A KID!   AND DO IT YOURSELF, TOO!

Today’s Mantra is “Take a Break!”

In this crazy world of ours, we are always on the go!

Running here, running there, gotta do this, gotta do that!

When do you “take a break”, if ever???

Well, it’s time.  “TAKE A BREAK” now.

Go somewhere quiet, take a mini vacation, take a walk!

Get away from the phone, the computer, any distraction that keeps
you from the time to “take a break”!

You deserve it!

Do it! “Take a break” today!

Today’s Mantra is “Respect”!

We have all heard “respect your elders”.

What does that mean to you?

What about if we “respect” everyone, even ourselves?

Especially “ourselves”! FIRST

How can we really “respect” any one else, if we don’t respect ourselves?

Think about it!

Show some “respect” to YOU first.  Learn what it means and “respect” yourself!

You will have a much better chance at “respect” towards others, when you learn to “respect” YOU!

Today’s Mantra – “RESPECT“!

Today’s Mantra is “Refresh!”

We’ve all been there….

Computer running slow, or the page isn’t loading, you watch as the little hourglass keeps spinning and spinning and spinning!

What do you do?

You hit the “Refresh” button!

Wouldn’t it be nice….

If we could do that throughout the day with ourselves?

We have all had times when we feel we are “spinning” and nothing is happening, or we are in slow mode, and running slower as we continue on.

We need to hit OUR “Refresh” button!

Only you can figure out YOUR “Refresh” button, whether it be a walk, run, read, nap, anything that YOU know will help you get moving faster again!

Try it! “Refresh” and get back to what you were doing!

“Refresh” as much as needed!

Today’s Mantra is “We Are Provided For”!

This is a short, but revealing Mantra.

We are Provided for.

The Divine gives us all we need.   This little plant is one of them.

Rose Hips!

It is high in Vitamin C, D & E and essential fatty acids and antioxicidant flavonoids!

So after you marvel at the beautiful flower, when the petals fall, these are left to “provide” for your health!

It is used as remedy for  osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  It can be used in beverages, jam, etc.

Enjoy life, knowing that “You ARE Provided For”!

Today’s Mantra is “Notice the Beauty”!

What do you notice in a day?

You see children playing, hear birds singing, you pass a field of flowers on the road.

But what do you NOTICE?

Try this: “Notice the Beauty” of the child’s play. They are so innocent and having fun.

“Notice the Beauty” in the bird’s song. What is he happy about?

The Field of Flowers! Wow, “notice the beauty” in colors that blend together for everyone to see!

There are many thing that need to be “notice” for their beauty.

Even odd (one might say ugly) things have beauty to notice.

This little guy is a Saddleback Caterpillar.  Scarry looking, but has beauty in it’s own way!

“Notice the Beauty” in something this weekend!

Have a Beautiful Weekend!

Today’s Mantra is “Share!”

Remember when you were a kid, how all the “grownups” told you to “Share”?

It felt good, not only to you, but the person you were sharing with!

Well, you can still “share” and make someone’s day!

Share a funny story, share the laugh, what fun!

Even a smile at a stranger is sharing!

When we were kids, we shared candy.

Now we can still share, and it can be stories of happy events, a “new recipe” you made for the first time (yep, food is fun to share), or just quiet moments to “reflect”.

Share anything that makes you happy, laugh, or just plain “feel good”!

Come on!  Be like a kid again!

“Share” with someone today! See how good it feels! Do it everyday!

Enjoy your sharing day! and turn it into a sharing week!

Today’s Mantra is “Why Wait for Some Day”

Think about the questions others have asked you, or you asked yourself.

“when are you submitting your invention idea?” Some day.

“when will that book be published that you say you are writing?” Some day.

“when are you completing that degree you are working towards?” Some day.

“when are you opening that business you dream about?” Some day.

“when are you going on that well needed vacation?” Some day.

“When are you going to spend time with…..?” Some day.

Some day. Some day. Some day.

And “some day” never seems to come.

WHY WAIT!

Make today “some day”! Start now, make it happen.

Before “some day” is lost forever!

Enjoy “some day” TODAY – AND  You have the whole weekend to catch up on your SOMEDAYs!
