This has always been the TRUTH...

09/17/2024

Stop overthinking, it is a dangerous habit...

– A quiet mind can hear intuition over fear.

– Do not ruin a new day by thinking about yesterday. Just let it go.

– Overthinking is the major culprit of unhappiness.

– Stop overthinking, because you cannot control anything but your actions and reactions.

– Overthinking is actually the art of creating problems that do not even exist.
Story telling.

– Do not worry about what can go wrong. Get excited about what can go right.

– Before you quit, try. Before you pray, forgive. Before you criticize, wait. Before you react, think. Before you talk, listen.
Pause, pause, pause.

*****This is a big one....
For all of us who are waiting for perfection, we can stop waiting right now. Being ambitious is great but aiming for perfection is unrealistic, impractical, and debilitating.

The moment you start thinking “This needs to be perfect” is the moment you need to remind yourself, “Waiting for perfect is never as smart as making progress.”

*****Accept your best for this day, for this day is a gift.
It’s the precious present!

We Are All Flawed

Forgiveness is a choice we make, and the ability to forgive others comes from the recognition that we are all flawed and all human. We have all made mistakes and harmed someone. We will again. It is always easier to practice forgiveness when we can recognize that the roles could have been reversed. Each of us has the capacity to commit the wrongs against others that were committed against us.

Choosing to forgive does not erase the reality of an injury nor does it ask us to pretend that what happened did not happen. It is quite the opposite. Real forgiveness and real healing require us to be honest about what has happened.

But first, we must make the choice.

Unfinished business doesn’t go away. It keeps repeating itself, until it gets our attention, until we feel it, deal with it, and heal.

It’s time to do the work on yourself, to release, to feel, to love yourself.
Life is precious~ Be in it!

The best foods to fight depression

Berries: A daily serving of berries has been shown to reduce inflammation. Luckily, they’re easy to mix into other dishes but they also work great as a snack on their own. Want some extra credit? Mix them in a cup of yogurt.

Yogurt: A 2023 study suggests fermented dairy products — like yogurt — may help soothe depression because of emerging evidence that poor gut health can worsen mental health issues and stress. And yogurt is full of probiotics that strengthen your digestive tract, so a spoon full of the stuff now might do your future mood some good.

Fatty fish: Fatty fish is full of omega-3 fatty acids, and research shows that these acids reduce depression rates. Stephenson says that salmon, mackerel, and sardines are accessible choices you can pick up at any local market.

Leafy greens: Research shows that consumption of greens is linked to lower depression rates — which is an excellent reason to up your intake of roughage like kale, spinach, Swiss chard, and bok choy.

fruits and vegetables:
diets high in fruit and vegetables are associated with low depression levels. So even microwaving some frozen green beans or grabbing a banana can add up.

“Depression is a serious condition.
Be kind and gentle with yourself as you explore what you need.”
