This morning I had the affirming thought of "Taking time for me".  That I am worth it.  That I wish each and every one of us would start our mornings with that thought. 

This is new habit for me.....

Good morning,

Today I started practicing yoga again.  It has been almost a year since I last practiced.  I have missed it.  I am starting very slowly, very simple easy poses.  I want to make it part of my morning routine and here is why....

I am reading a book titled  How to Win Any Argument: Without Raising Your Voice, Losing Your Cool, Or Coming To Blows

I came across a paragraphy about the aurthor seeing himself as a swan.

Normally, we think of this in the context of the ugly duckling story.  He used it in a different way...generally I have heard people reference being a duck when they talk about gliding along on the water and paddling hard under the water AND this author referenced a swan.  That got me thinking.....

What separates the amateurs from the pros is self- mastery.

Imagine having the power to be aware of the risks and consequences of giving way to your impulses. (“If I give into my impulses, then what will probably happen is….”)

The power to pause.
