CALM YOUR LIFE
Each day holds its own challenges. As we try to deal with the minutia of life, we can sometimes become overwhelmed with detail. To quell this chaos, we can create a shift in our perception by reminding ourselves that we have control of a great many forces in our lives. What are some of these forces that we can control? 1. Breathing – Take a moment to focus on your breathing and notice the life-giving force that is constantly at work for you. (What Is yogic breathing?

Shedding the noise of pending tasks is a good way to allow answers to surface and gain clarity of how you can serve God, yourself and others.

If we remind ourselves that we are not alone and that we have tools and guides to show us the way to fulfill our divine purpose and discover our potential, we will be empowered to take the next step. Be thankful and giving. We leave you with a powerful quote.
“I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness, no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that itself creates new potential.” - Vandana Shiva
