Enjoy list-free time

This tip comes from Sheree, who says she stopped making lists of things to do in her off-time because of the stress that not finishing the list brought to her weekends

Good idea Sheree.  Sure it's good to keep track of what's on our agenda yet there's times to 'let go' and just enjoy life. Smell the roses so to speak

What are you doing to relieve stress and go List Free in our free time?

Learn to say “No.”

If you’re having trouble keeping on top of everything going on in your life, it may be that you’ve committed more time than you have. If you’re like me (and just about everyone else), you don’t like to refuse favors, new responsibilities, or even casual requests


It's OK to say NO to requests that come your way.  Part of maintaining an affirmative life is keeping limitations.  Say YES when you can though.  It's knowing the difference that keeps balance

Attitude is everything

Charles Swindoll wrote
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude is more important than the past, than education, money, circumstances, failures and successes and much more than what other people think, say or do.” 

I choose to have an upbeat,I can do it attitude.  I know you can as well

We Can

When faced with challenges I find that my attitude will help. I focus on what I can do, knowing there is a solution.

Affirming others, supporting them all add to MY/OUR quality of life

Say this with me

I can and I will

Fears, loose them

Fear can keep me still. Some fear is helpful while other fears seem to hold me back

When I fear it is usually from the unknown or about something I have no  real control over

Let those ideas go and fear will go to

Honesty

Honesty refers to a facet of moral character and connotes positive and virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, straightforwardness, including straightforwardness of conduct, along with the absence of lying, cheating, theft, etc. Furthermore, honesty means being trustworthy, loyal, fair, and sincere.

People in 12 step programs refer to Honesty as a key to beginning a healthy life

There's a lot more to being honest than just NOT telling lies. There are lies of omission, the things we don't say, secrets we don't share. Those can be as devastating as an outright lie. 

What's the old saying? "What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive"

Beyond being honest with others I find it imperative to be 100% honest with myself
I've learned my faults, my points of angst and the joys I earned

Lets share our honest selves
