Mirror, Mirror on the WallWritten by Nancy D. Bishop

Many of us at midlife have experienced that you can do all of "right" things and still find yourself waking up each day unhappy with who and where you are in life. We finally understand in a very personal way that what makes one person happy and successful is not always same for us. Yet, we are so far off from our own paths we don't even know how to find way back home... to ourselves. To live an authentic life requires patience and quiet time. We must be willing to step off treadmill we've been running on and set some time aside for ourselves. It may only be 15 minutes each morning or before going to bed. Enjoy how good it feels to be most important person in your life. After all, without you there is nothing. In this quiet space you may even find a new path, one of your own making, and one that just might lead you back to yourself. Don't wait for someday. Begin now.

can be so habitual that it seems like we are powerless to do anything to change it. While we may not be able to change old grooves, we can make new grooves in our brains by changing our thoughts. Remember, our bodies listen to everything we say. It responds by sending endorphins, stress relieving chemicals or things like cortisol; chemicals that raise blood pressure and put us in a fight or flight pattern. If you are tired of feeling exhausted, stressed out and negative, check in with your thoughts. Pay attention to what you are thinking and telling yourself. A new habit takes 21 days to form. That's not a long time to make a big difference in your life. Consider that you are in PMS; your "pre-magnificent stage." By this time next year, "seeds" you plant in your mind today can lead to a life bursting with color. "Trick or Treat".........Which will you choose?
