CALM
I AM CALM AND AT PEACE TODAY
To separate from the stresses in my life's daily schedule is my goal today. I will consciously slow down my thoughts and change my perceptions. Calmly and gracefully, I handle all that confronts me.
People, events, children, and projects will smother me and wear me down, if I let them. I need to realistically identify my limits. The only person who wears me out is me.
As I take charge and define my direction and boundaries, I will feel powerful. A renewed energy surges through me. I breathe in clean, fresh air, and I release tightness, fear and oppression. I feel calm and capable as I slow down and respect my limits.
