Lighten Up

Here is a thought for the day - lighten up. Let go, let it all go (so comes love). Release the expectation, let it fly away in the wind. Release your judgment of the moment and appreciate it instead. Release simmering anger, and laugh instead. Release bitterness and resentment, and feel peace, peace, peace.

Life is so, so busy. It almost feels impossible to stop and consider, but when we do, there is so much more reason to celebrate. Everything - no matter how aggravating, how annoying, how disappointing - everything can be seen from another perspective. Simply shift your weight and look at it from an angle other than the one you are standing in, in order to find some joy, some goodness, some reason to say, "Thank you."

Make it up, at first, if you have to, fake it until it becomes real, or just practice until you get the knack of it, but at least try it. In the time it takes you to stop, re-group and take a breath, you have already shifted your energy, and the world already looks different. A world that looks different is different. Your expectations have changed, the energy you put out has changed, and now what comes back will be different, too.

Here is the thought for the day:
1. shift and look at the situation from a different perspective
2. find something to be grateful for
and automatically you will lighten up.

Now that is cause for celebration!

Blessings.
