The Practice

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The practice of staying present
will heal you. Obsessing about
how the future will turn out
creates anxiety. Replaying broken
scenarios from the past
causes anger or sadness.
Stay here, in the moment.
Sylvester McNutt III



Worry is the most ancient scam. It steals everything while
giving nothing. It is an illusion
and a trick enslaving our joy
and wasting our hours.

Break the optical illusion.
Be here and now.
Look around you.
Worry is mental slavery.

Shift your view. Remind yourself
to take your freedom. 
Do it every day!
  Cloudia Charters


The secret to living well
and longer is: eat half,
walk double, laugh triple
and love without measure. Tibetan Proverb


Peace cannot be kept by force; It can only be achieved by understanding. Albert Einstein


 A smile is the
light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside. Denis Waitley

If I knew where my worry button was I would disconnect it. Permanently.

What words of wisdom you shared today. I'm copying the Tibetan quote which I've heard before, but it's timeless.

Worry robs us of joy in the present. You say it so well here, Cloudia.

Thanks for the advice about grabbing onto our freedom from worries. I also love the Tibetan proverb and the picture of Pixie with a "window" partly open.
