To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
I believe an anxiety free life comes from these five things:
1. believing in yourself,
2. taking care of yourself,
3. having faith in God and the wisdom of your intuition,
4. pushing your edge, taking risks, and embracing change…
5. having love be your guiding compass!
That’s it. Simple. We can all do this.
Much love and peace to all of you tonight.

Anxiety and insomnia come when we are afraid. We are afraid when we stop trusting.
When we stop trusting, we start losing sleep at night.
Examples of this are when we stop trusting:
1. our abilities on the job
2. our spouses
3. our kids
4. our country’s leadership
5. our media
6. God
Now, a healthy dose of skepticism is prudent, but when we stop having faith in the hull of our life, the rivets start coming out and things fall apart…
The result? Anxiety. Insomnia. A lack of confidence in ourselves, others, and life in general.
Here at The Warm Milk Journal we envision a wholeness: well balanced healthy people living the life of their dreams by day and sleeping restfully and peacefully by night.
Alas, to counteract all of this anxiety and lack of trust, we need to start trusting again. We need to regain and get solid with our faith,
with our power …
To do this we need to get straight and simply KNOW a few things…
Repeat and affirm…
1. I Am love
2. I Am loved
3. I Am safe
4. I am right where I need to be right now
5. Life works with me
6. I am doing my best and that is good enough
7. Other people are doing their best. I pray and bless them. We are all in this together…
8. All things pass…
9. A pendulum is at work all the time (if something is not to my liking, the pendulum will swing the other way in due time)
10. I am a gift and have so much to offer others.
In Peace,
Debra
To me faith means not worrying. ~ John Dewey
Dear God,
Thank you for keeping me safe as I slept last night. I am waking up feeling refreshed and ready for this beautiful new day.
There is a lot going on at work and I thank you in advance for guiding me to do my best, keep a smile on my face, and to move forward with confidence.
I really feel watched over and protected.
Thank you.
Debra

Note to our readers:
Starting our day with prayer, writing in our prayer journals, or adding a few things we are thankful for in our gratitude journals is a lovely way to start the day.
I wish you all a blessed day.
Prayer is not merely an occasional impulse to which we respond when we are in trouble: prayer is a life attitude. ~ Walter A. Mueller
There are circumstances in life when you just need to have faith, turn it over to a higher power, “let go and Let God”.
When I experience times like this I find much peace in the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Neibuhr:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know
the difference.
