Stop Micro-Managing Your Life~Worrying never did Anyone Good

As a watched pot never boils...
A micro-managed life never progresses.

Like watching paint dry...
Worrying never did anyone any good.

Sometimes You have to Stop Micro-Managing and Let Life Unfold

As I was playing with 'Night Workers' and discovering the multitude of tiny beings within, I began thinking about the multitude of bacteria working on our behalf in our bodies--and how they were like the multitude of tiny forces in our lives working to make our lives better.

In case you didn't know it--your body contains trillions of microorganisms about equal to the number of human cells you have, and these tiny creatures play a vital role in your health. 

How comforting it is to know trillions of tiny beings are working overtime to keep your body working well--and you don't even need to give them a second thought. Even if you wanted to supervise their tireless work you can't. They're too small. They just put their hard-hats on at night and work away helping to refresh and repair your body.

And did you know you have about 100 billion brain cells working on your behalf? And like the tiny microorganisms, your lightening-fast brain cells function best when you don't try to micro-manage them with stress and worry.

Sometimes we spend so much time concentrating on getting an outcome in our body or life we forget to just relax and let our bodies and lives heal and thrive on their own. 

Do What Must Be Done, Then Let it Go

Why waste all that time, energy and head space worrying about things you can't do anything about?  Figure out what concerns you, take the most important actions to resolve it, and then let it go. 

Trust the multitude of tiny forces in your life to work on your behalf.

Yes, you have to do your part to set things in motion in a positive direction. But then you need to rest and trust life's tiny forces to do the heavy lifting for you.

While exercise is good for you, rest is equally as good. In fact you grow stronger when your body rests after exercising. If you overuse your muscles and fail to give it enough time to rest between bouts of exercise your muscles will breakdown. It is the same with your brain.

Times of action, concentration and focus must be followed by times of rest, relaxation, and play. Whatever you're obsessing on, put it down. Stop the worry.  Let time and tiny life forces work for you while you rest.

Trust and Time

💙Time is a great healer.

💙Patience is a virtue.

💛All things seemingly good or bad work in our favor.

💛Trust Time and Life.

Saying Goodbye to a Good Dog

Goodbye Cherelle

"Good night my someone,

Good night my love.

Sleep tight my someone,

Sleep tight my love.

I wish I may and I wish I might,

so good night my someone good night."

The Music Man

My head is full of musicals coloring my experience of life. Somehow there's a song for every situation in life living inside my head. 

This morning I woke up singing 'Good Night My Someone' after spending the day yesterday with my dear friend, Debra, talking about 'Cherelle the sweet', who just passed--remembering what a good dog she was.

It is such a deep sorrow to lose a dog. They are with us far too short a time yet enrich our lives to a depth untouched by fellow humans. 

Dogs have the uncanny ability to silently reach around the barriers we build around our hearts and put us in touch with our feelings. So it is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our intimate companions and wish them a soft landing in the next life.

So good night my someone good night.

You Should Have Your Head Examined!

The Brain Scan

What's going on in that head of yours? What have you been thinking about? How have you been approaching life? How have your thoughts produced actions? How have you been feeling about yourself and life lately?

Here's a peek into what I found in your brain scan:

💓Hope
💙Love
💚Happiness
💛Joy
💜Compassion
💓Peace
💙Tranquility
💚Strength
💛Ease

Your brain makes all of these available to you 24/7. If you've failed to access any of these recently, you should have your head examined!

Who you are is God's gift to you.

What you make of yourself is your gift to God.

Unknown

If you don't believe in God, believe in the universe.

You have everything you need to make a good life

and to make a difference in the life of others.

Be that person who makes the world a better place.

Dig deep into that brain of yours for the courage,

patience and persistence to be that person

who grabs hold of life and takes it for the ride of a lifetime! 

"Don't belittle yourself,

Be BIG yourself."
