Try it, you might like it

So  many us, myself included, are doing things we/I never thought I'd be doing. Zoom meetings, masks even in banks, hand sanitizer galore. 

There are those home improvement projects. I promise I'll move that bookshelf!!

We'll here we are several months into the pandemic and I'm trying new things at work
I created a form that makes getting medicines from pharmacies easier to track

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu

What have you tried new?

See it, Say it, Live it

This blog is about keeping an upbeat outlook and affirming attitude. I/we try to say those things and have those thoughts that bring peace, joy and happiness.  

When I want to believe something or learn something I see it, say it and live it
During my recovery from a stroke I KNEW life would go on and  I choose to do all I could to return to normal   I said it, wrote it down then did all i  could to get better. That meant therapy to walk, read and write

Right now is there some thing you/we are changing or just want a healthy status quo?

See it, Say it, Live it
Repeat these to be a mantra

It Is Well

There is a song in a Christian tradition "It Is Well With My Soul"

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)

These past several weeks have been surprisingly  busy with work, a house guest, setting up my  non profit, family issues.  Add the  stress of the COVID 19 pandemic sometimes life can be a bit much

That's when I pause and realize I/we've been through some of this before and my worry wont change any outcome.   Using tools I've shared  with you here before I remind myself "It is well"

Regular readers are aware I use mantras.They are repetitive phrases that reaffirm thoughts

"It  is well with my soul" is this months mantra.  Do you have one or any? Do they work for you?
