life will test you

Today, I am grateful for my paycheck. I am working to remove judgement from my experiences, and I achieve this by focusing on gratitude. I can find something to be thankful for in any situation. It was a tough day at work and instead of ruminating in the "bad," I chose to focus on being thankful for the financial freedom my work provides me. 

I am learning how to settle into my senses to create a sense of stability and release anxious thoughts. 

I accomplished recognizing and honoring a strength. This is a big shift for me. Previously, I would have over-analyzed my perceived failures. Today, I celebrated myself. 

I delighted in helping a neighbor, in meditating when I felt fearful, and in connecting with the artist I volunteer for.
