Consult the I Ching!

THE I CHING OR BOOK OF CHANGES....................... is an ancient Chinese text that is more five thousand year old.It's a book of profound wisdom, which is as relevant to our culture now as it was in the days of confucius,Dip into the I Ching in your spare moments or when you need inspiration.

Believe the best!

IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU,  

in everything you do, you have two choices to assume the worst or to believe the best of others.When you assume the worst, you condemn before a  'crime' is committed.When you assume the best, you allow the possibility of a positive outcome.

Gather your resources!

THINK ABOUT YOUR STRENGTHS and skills you know you possess.What mental and emotional qualities are you proud of?Start with these resources when you encounter difficulty and you'll move more easily from the ' known' throught the ' unknown''.

Take Comfort!

COMFORT  IS  whatever makes you feel more at ease.Comfort is a hot -water bottle, a bowl of soup, teddy bears, hugs and cuddles, a blanket, music, a soothing drink.You can even suck your thumb if it reassures and comforts you!At times every adult has a hurt and fearful, lost lonely child inside.

Hope!

HOPE   EMBODIES  A  HEALTHY  APPORACH   TO LIFE. 

If you have hope you can allow for people and situations to change.You suspend judgement and expectation.In the midst of what feels like hopelessness you dare to imagine an improvement.Hope is life giving and affirming.It lifts finality away.

This , too, will pass!

MAKE  THIS  YOUR  MANTRA, prayer , song  or affirmation.Repeat it, write it, pray it, remember it, visualise it.Know that your circumstances change, and that what is unbearable now might  be the making of you.Bless the situation for whatever it has to teach you about life.Learn graciously.

It takes two!

IN ANY SITUATION OF STRESS  or  conflict, remember it takes two.There are two protagonists, two sides of an argument, two sets of responsibilities and at least two outcomes.Look at it way you have half the load,half the answer, and you bear responsibility for half the blame and half the outcome.You need only  take care of your half!
