Pause and remember - Stop mentally abusing yourself. Stop agonizing over your past mistakes and worrying about the future. Life is hard enough without the added fear, panic and anxiety. Your soul is crying out for love and encouragement. Take a moment to breathe deep, get present and find some compassion for yourself. Then, go out and treat yourself right; pamper yourself and take care of your needs. You are worth it!

Pause and remember - If you empty yourself of yesterday's sorrows, you will have much more room for today's joy.

Pause and remember - Slow and steady will get you where you want to go. If you put too much pressure on yourself for results too quickly, you will quickly give up.

Pause and remember - You alone are responsible for taking an interest in your own growth. Understanding your deepest fears and pain is what will move you forward. If you can do this, you will be rewarded with not only a deeper connection with yourself, but also with others.

Pause and remember - The only person you need to believe in you is - you!

Pause and remember - You will have a lot more time and energy to spend on yourself when you stop worrying and wasting time on how others need to change.

Pause and remember - The more you stay focused on your blessings the less stressed your life will be!
