Daily Affirmations: Little Issues

March 3, 2015

Our life is what we make of it…

etherealskyGranted there are times in our lives that sadness and grief well up and need our attention, but there are little issues that arise each day, that we can change our reactions to, and find it easier to get through those little issues with less stress and anxiety.

Today, I re-mind myself that I am solely responsible for how I react to the experiences that I have in my life. When stress and anxiety arise, I re-mind myself to stop, be in the moment, take a deep breath, release and repeat, until I am centered in the knowing that I am strong and resilient, and I can get through this little issues, this minor stress.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: My Life Is Like A Garden

March 2, 2015

secret gardenToday, I re-mind myself that my life is like a garden. If I want to blossom and thrive in the sun, I must carefully cultivate the aspects of my life that need tending. The garden left untended becomes unwieldy and overgrown with weeds. The life goals left untended so too, will be encompassed by weeds that overcome goals, and soon the goals will be unrecognizable. I tend carefully my goals, for they are the flowers of my life.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: Disconnect to Reconnect

February 27, 2015

It is not uncommon to let our busy lives get in the way of our relationships. Today, I re-mind myself that it is a choice I can make, to be present in the lives of my loved ones. This means not just showing up, but also to be fully there, unattached to outside influences, engaging in conversation, and even quite moments.

Technology has changed the way we communicate. At the very core of relationships, it is the one on one communication, the touch, the hug, the eye contact, that each of us crave and need in our lives. Sometimes we all need to step back and disengage from technology so we can truly feel and relate to others. Today I affirm that when I am with my loved ones I will disconnect so that I may reconnect.

Namaste… Pamela

Food For Thought: Communication

February 26, 2015

“Communication can heal.”

Henry James Borys-The Sacred FireThink about that… While we’re all so busy online communicating on social media websites, we forget, perhaps the value and the sheer wonder of sitting with a friend, talking, communicating, sharing joy and sorrow in the same physical space, together. I too am guilty of this… (more…)

Daily Affirmations: Open Heart Open Mind

4 doriesToday, I re-mind myself that an open heart and an open mind is a conduit to a rich, interesting life filled with an abundance of love and prosperity. I breathe in and release all negativity as I exhale, making room for positive energy to flow my way. In this, I am abundant.

Namaste… Pamela

Food For Thought: Patience

February 25, 2015

Patience has never been one of my virtues…

grapevineatmaudslayHowever, the older I get the better I am at mastering the fine art of patience. When you “do something else in the meantime,” you invariably fill your time with something else that takes your mind off of whatever you are waiting for. And sometimes, you just need to, “Get out there and make it happen.”

Idle waiting can become a playground for impatience and anxiety. Take a walk, turn on some music, do something meaningful… Soon you’ll find you have mastered patience.
