Schedule in meditation for inner strength

You don't need to be in a yoga studio, on vacation or in a therapists office- to fit in some quality time with yourself. It's crazy true how this works; but when you develop the right mental attitude, it has dramatic effects on how you look and feel, not to mention your approach to the daily grind.

For me, clearing in the morning in bed before the chaos of the day is best -- before my feet ever reach the ground.

Try to:
1. Find a DAILY ritual time that works for you- in the shower, after your children are asleep, whenever, wherever. It should be your safe haven.

2. Quiet your mind, close your eyes, focus on the present- not the bills, not the dishes, nothing..
Stay as long as the time allows. It can literally be 5 minutes, of awake quiet dedicated YOU time.

3. Start this week by focusing on your inner strengths and what you can do to sharpen them, hone them, utilize them, learn from them ,teach from them, inspire yourself from your inner strengths.

Love this mantra from Anna Freud - " I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time.
