The Power of Reflections

You know those days when you wake up and you’re overcome with stress and worry. Sometimes it’s for a good reason and sometimes it’s for no reason at all. I recently came across this morning reflection and it helped me so much.

Today, I'll notice when stress arises and respond with three deep breaths, remembering that I don't need to carry every burden that presents itself.

I'll make time for at least one small moment of peace—whether a quiet cup of tea, a brief walk outside, or simply sitting in stillness—and be gentle with myself throughout the day, knowing that my worth isn't measured by productivity or perfection.💫

When I read this, I feel a sense of relief. I hope it does the same for you. I posted this in my private Facebook group and invite you to join the community.

We have a full moon this weekend. It’s the perfect time to let go of what no longer serves you and know that you do not need to carry the weight of the world. As my daughter frequently reminds me, we’re all just living on this giant rock floating in space. Our troubles are not a huge as we may think. 🌍
