God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life

What rises in your mind as you think about practicing love kindness to yourself? Describe and note the images or feelings that came up. What are the easiest and most difficult aspects of this practice? What about when difficult people come to mind? How do you silence pain and negativity? In this post, we will explore two mindfulness activities that Coach Debbie teaches and you can use at home. Walking meditation is one of the common mindfulness activities to begin with and in

You can’t control your heart rate or blood pressure, but you can control your breathing. Take a moment to stop and recognize your breathing... Is it smooth? static? Or even suffocated? And do you know what your breathing style means? In this post we'll explore breathing exercises connected to your thoughts and behavior through mindfulness. So let's begin. Where have your thoughts taken you? Past, present, future? Reflect and note where your mind takes you; then repeat this ce

Different activities and exercises include mental noting, breathing, or the “note 5 things” exercise. Mental noting of emotions helps you to identify feelings and thoughts that you want to resist and instead learn to accept them through methods such as breathing exercises. If you r

Let’s reflect. How much time out of the day do you feel out of control, overwhelmed, or stressed? When you feel stressed out- how does stress manifest in you? Do you experience it physiologically- like tightness in your throat, rapid heartbeat, or sweating? What about behaviorally- such as crying or yelling? Then, there’s emotionally- feelings of sadness, depression, anger? Do you experience cognitive shifts like negative thinking patterns? Or maybe you experience a combinati

What’s on your palate for 2017? Proverbs 18:21 says that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, those who love it will eat its fruit.” (NHEB) What do you love to ingest? What are you feeding your soul and spirit? Does fear, negativity, disappointment, depression, or anxiety seem to be overpowering your life, walk, and talk? The good news is that you don’t have to live life that way! Everything you say and do- is your choice. God has given us free will to live abundan

It’s time to set yourself free, renew your mind, and build a narrative that brings you joy! It’s time to write and live a narrative that is true to you without comparisons, complaints, or chaotic thinking. A narrative is your being, byline, brand, and beauty in written form for you to expound upon, reflect on, or simply save as a record. It is intensely personal and simply outlines how you see yourself. It can highlight accomplishments, set guiding steps to achieve your futur
