We become lost in being everywhere but here and now, and the ironic part is that the present is the only place that will make us feel better.

It's a wonderful feeling to experience a shift when you realize that you have the power to change the patterns within yourself.

Living in the present is the way to go.

I am a very emotional human being and would say that I handle emotional pain in a healthy way by always letting it out and not keeping it in. There is no better feeling than allowing those tears to flow when I am feeling emotionally constricted. Crying feels so good sometimes, and I do it when I'm happy, sad, stressed, scared. I like to believe that tears are my friend.

Consistently practice love and everything that falls under the category of love: gratitude, laughter, friendship, joy, forgiveness, acceptance, peace, and trust.

Another important time when I feel most alive is when I hear a song that I love so much that all I can do is dance - I feel so free!

One of my biggest lessons has been to be easier on myself and not make things such a big deal.
