When I am not centered I don’t sleep well, I am moody, worry a lot, feel more sensitive and critical (to self and others), and tend to blow things up out of proportion. This is not a healthy state and I do not like it when I permit myself to get to this unhappy place.

Here are eleven ways that help to keep me centered (living a well balanced life by day and sleeping restfully at night):

1. I walk every day

2. I take times of solitude in the morning and night (and during the day when I can fit it in)

3. Write in my journal

4. Stretch and practice yoga

5. Breathe deep in my belly

6. Smile first, then think, talk, or act

7. Keep my faith

8. Talk things out with someone close to me when I need to

9. Read spiritually inspiring books or poetry

10.Meditate

11.Spend time outdoors

In Peace,

Debra
