Always Balanced and Connected: Daily Affirmations for Body, Mind and Spirit is for those of you caught up in the balancing act of life, everyone! The art of living is being able to take what comes your way, while enjoying and maintaining health and wellness. A task much easier said than done, however possible. Daily reflections serve to guide you through each day. Perhaps something will resonate with your life experiences. Poets, philosophers, athletes, saints and sinners give words of inspiration, encouragement and answers to the question, “Why?” The questions and answers of the past create incentive for the future. “Always Balanced and Connected: Daily Affirmations for Body, Mind and Spirit” provides the tools necessary for a healthy lifestyle and possibly the answer to your question, “Why?”
Self-awareness, authenticity and a desire to be whole in body, mind and spirit are essential to make the connection and live a purposeful and balanced life. Our bodies desperately try to give us warning signals and want us to be well. We have the ability to heal ourselves. “Always Balanced and Connected: Daily Affirmations for Body, Mind and Spirit, focuses on the basic concept of everyday. Taking care of you first and prioritizing your health and wellness is essential to living a happy, healthy and well-adjusted life. Be aware that your physical, mental and spiritual health is priority one.
Affirmation: I believe in moving forward with honesty and integrity.
When you find yourself in a compromising situation, when you know you are in too deep and you wish you were anywhere but where you are, keep going. Stop and think about what you’re doing. Walk away and then return. Make the necessary changes before what you are trying to avoid escalates. You can do this. When things are getting out of hand, stop what you are doing. Think about the outcome you are trying to achieve. Leaving a situation, regrouping and coming back is the epitome of class. How many times have you walked away from a situation and kept going? No way were you going back. What it takes to be a winner is to go back, try again and bring closure in the best way possible. Perhaps that means agreeing to disagree. How you leave a situation is how you will be judged. Be true to yourself and end disagreements, arguments, and discussions on a positive note. Then and only then, can you move on.
