Take 5 minutes

Take 5 minutes for yourself today. Whether you're in work, school, home wherever.


Just take 5 mins to reflect on yourself,

how special you are and how far you've come,

allow yourself to feel good about it and thank quietly all the people who have helped you along the way,

feel yourself in the moment,

feel the joy of living in the second,

feel life,

send your love out to others who may need the help right now,

finally send the love to yourself...smile... and be happy.

Thank you Bravery......

Your right, so many people dwell on the things they need to improve/do....

Nice to take some time and look back, amazing how far we have all come.

I just wanted to add this.... A friend sent it too me when I was really down about myself and life.

__________________________________________________ _____________
Right now, a new world is being born. It is a world filled with brilliant possibilities.
In this very moment, people are breaking free from limitations that once seemed impossible to overcome. All over the world, difficult challenges are being transformed into valuable new creations.
As this day moves forward, valuable, life-changing lessons are being learned. New ideas and concepts are being formulated, tested, improved and put into practice.
People of all backgrounds are finding beautiful new ways of experiencing and expressing what it means to be alive. Positive and enriching values are being shared, and communities are emerging to sustain and promote those values.
So much attention is paid to the difficulties in this world that we often forget what else is going on. In fact, what else is going on is an immense expression of love and life and joy that grows more firmly entrenched with each passing moment.
Truly a new world, with more opportunity for joy and fulfillment than ever before, is coming to life right now. Open yourself to it, and live the beautiful possibilities.

Thanks, Cynay. It really is about how I choose to view the world. Full of possibility and joy, or hopeless and despair. I will never have a life that doesn't include some hardship and sadness. Even so, every morning when I wake up I am grateful for another day.

Thank you Bravery--I really needed this right now! I really care about others-and always focus on positive, forward motion thinking for them....but i do tend to forget
about myself. This reminds me that I can't be there for anyone else if I don't take care of me too.
thanks
