Promises to myself today:

Today, I will not let my stress overcome me.
Today, I will not let me fear make me angry or tight-chested.
Today, I will not allow my sadness to cloud my mind.
Today, I will not vocalize any of the negative feelings that are pressing on my heart.
Today I will take a run.
Today I will enjoy a glass of wine when I am home with my lovely little family.
Today I will cook something tasty and nourish my family.
Today I will remember why I get up every day and work.
Today I will be thankful for a job, even if it isn’t what I want to do and it causes me anxiety.
Today I will be supportive, encouraging and brave even when I feel the opposite.
Today I am going to be kind to myself.
Today if I cannot find the words to express my feelings, I will hold my feelings and keep quiet.

This was given to me by a friend today. Good timing.

Your opportunity

You are skilled and experienced at making progress. Each day, each challenge, and every situation is an opportunity to make some more.

Simply living your life up to this point represents a tangible, impressive achievement. Now you can use your strength and experience to create many more achievements.

Don’t sell yourself short. You are highly capable, so make good and meaningful use of those capabilities.

You have already traveled a unique and valuable path. Now is your opportunity to continue the momentum, and to inject even more positive purpose into your journey.
You are good and worthy, experienced and effective. So keep going, and add more beauty, more substance, more meaning and joy to your life and your world.

Though the challenges are great, you are stronger than every challenge you’ve ever encountered. Keep going, keep moving forward, keep on living with purpose and passion, for that is what you do best.
