Be Resourced from Within
Take a deep inhale, and exhale it out slowly, letting something go as you do so.
Take a walk, touch the ground with your feet, observe a bird or another animal.
Take a bath or surround yourself with water.
Take a break. Put everything down for a moment and be still. Allow what comes inside of the stillness to inform and nourish your soul.
Listen to the wisdom that lives in your gut. You know everything you need to know. Trust your inner wisdom.
Look in the mirror at your own eyes and see into your soul’s longing and your soul’s calling. Remember that you are a child of God and born from Love.
