I Choose…
“I choose to make
the rest of my life
the best of my life!”
-Louise Hay
I came across this quote among all my scribbling (I think I’ll use a journal just for my favourite quotes and verses.)
I think it was meant for someone like myself on the downward side of the hill of life. To remind seniors to live life to the fullest even if you are old. (Insert eye roll here.)
But of course it made me stop and think…cause I overdo the thinking thing.
This quote also applies to any one that has had to stop, rethink and adjust their lives.
Whether it’s after a break up, the loss of a loved one, a career change, getting away from an abusive relationship…personal or work related, or after an illness or maybe even after a move.
It’s a chance to take stock of your life and evaluate how you live the rest of it.
It’s up to you to choose how you go forward.
Deal with what was and carry on.
A fresh start can be exciting and scary so go easy on yourself…one step at a time.
And as always…remember to look after yourself both mentally and physically.
Here are a few things to help set you on a positive path for the next chapters of your life.
* Get Focused
Take time to really think about what you want in your life, and what you don’t want…it’s just as important.
* To Bucket List or Not?
A bucket list of things you want to do is fine for some. Not for others. Some people would rather start a new life chapter all willy nilly…whatever comes along and that is fine too! You do what works for you!
* Stop Belly Aching About Life!
Ok…the Complain Train is pulling into the station. I want you to get off and jump on the incoming Positive Lane Train instead! Bitching about things just stalls your progress, so get it out of your system and start your journey on a positive note. It’s up to you to change what you aren’t happy with.
Every time you start to whine, stop yourself…say something you are grateful for…out loud.
* Wrap Yourself in the Positive Vibes Around You
Surround yourself with positive people. Give the Negative Nelly crowd the cold shoulder. You don’t need anyone bringing you down. Let their positive vibes rub off on you. Join a group of positive thinking souls or follow an online source for positive messages…like my blog!
* Be Yourself!
Do things for you that you enjoy, without worrying what others think you should be doing. Learn to be content with what makes you happy. As I’ve said before…you live with what’s in your head, no one else.
You choose what’s best for you!
Life Experience Wisdom
* You choose how the rest of your life will play out.
* Do what makes you happy and enjoy the feeling of being content with your choices.
* Whether you are a world traveler, or prefer to spend the day in bed with a good book and a tub of ice cream…you do you!
* Make positive choices and see how your life changes!

My Motto
When life throws baseball size lemons at you, that smack you upside the head, stomp on those damn things and make yourself a cocktail!
