No Pain without Purpose!

“Did you know….An oyster that has not been wounded in any way does not produce pearls?
A pearl is a healed wound.

Pearls are a product of pain, the result of a foreign or unwanted substance entering the oyster, such as a parasite or a grain of sand.
…The more pearls, the more valuable…

“No pain without a purpose.”

Day 29: Find Peace

In your space, find peace. Consider all the things that bring you peace, whether or not you reach your intended goal(s).  

Make a mental list of experiences, people, things, hobbies, and things you are passionate about that bring you peace. These are things you can fall back on, in any event. Keep these close and sacred. They are your life line.

Day 25: Relax Your Mind

In your space, focus on connecting your mind with your body for relaxation. Relaxing the body can improve your state of mind.

Consider the muscles in your face and try releasing any tense feelings by smiling. A simple smile signals to the  brain that you are OK.

The mind-body connection is the link between a person’s thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, and physical health.

Have you ever noticed that when you feel anxious, your body feels tight?

Next time you are struggling with an uncomfortable emotion, take a deep breath in, and when you exhale, relax your face and smile.
