What if I went for a walk and didn’t listen to music or a podcast?
What if I went for a walk and didn’t listen to music or a podcast? Walking is a way of letting our thoughts run through our mind and gradually sift themselves out. Walking is a way of clearing the cobwebs and bringing us insights on issues that concern us. Walking is a way of connecting with nature and other walkers. There are lots of benefits to walking especially if you are walking with someone you love.
What If . . .
What if I decided that for today I would not talk about myself, I’d just listen? Did I say OUCH? We like to express our thoughts, tell about our experiences, and reminisce. I recall a funny scene when my dad and my father-in-law were sitting in the living room. My dad was telling my father-in-law about his golf game. My father-in-law was talking about fishing. Both were talking about their experiences, yet, neither one was listening to the other. Afterward, both my dad and father-in-law told me how much they enjoyed speaking to each other. Each of us is filled to overflowing with a desire to express the stuff that makes up our lives. It’s hard when no one is willing to listen. I think I’ll make it a listening day and give some friends a chance to empty their bucket.
Stress Hack: Stop Stress in its Tracks
“Create awareness. Becoming more aware of your thoughts and actions can help you recognize patterns and areas where you can improve. Plus, it allows you to acknowledge what you’re already doing well. The next time you feel stressed, simply pause and notice your reaction. You might ask yourself, “Where is this coming from?” Once you’ve done that, you can choose another response or way of thinking.”

Today’s Reflection: Who Am I?
I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am. Eckhart Tolle
Today’s Reflection ~ Change
Thoughts become perception, perception becomes reality. Alter your thoughts, alter your reality. ~ William James
Today’s Quote by Gandhi on Living A Good Life
Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Something to Think About
The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries. ~ Rene Descartes
What book has had a great influence on you?
For me, one book that has greatly influenced me was Victor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning.” Another book is Ray Bradbury’s “Zen of Writing.”
Today’s Quote by Roald Dahl on Thoughts
If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
