To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
An anxiety free life happens when we habitually do these five things.

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.

May Gentleness Rule this Day… a short morning prayer
Published April 6, 2013 | 
Dear God,
May gentleness rule this day,
and let worries melt away to a place
far away from me.
May in their place, be a space for peace
that comes home to stay
within my mind, heart, and body.
May your love and guidance
guide me today to remember
what is most important:
Love,
Kindness,
Joy in the little things,
Forgiveness,
And most of all
Peace.
Amen.

4 CommentsAt the end of the day, I am thankful for these ten comforts…
Published March 4, 2013 | 
So it’s the end of they day and there is not much getting in the way
of my welcoming in the evening.
There are so many things I appreciate about this time of day.
Right now, at 7:19 PM, I appreciate:
1. Being home
2. the good work out I had a little while ago at the gym
3. the quiet I am enjoying before I start cooking (tonight it will be a healthy tofu stir fry)
4. the glass of pinot noir I am sipping as I write this.
5. My husband, daughter, and sweet cat who are close by (but leaving me alone so I can write)
6. The comfortable couch I am sitting on
7. My plush green blanket that is on my lap (it is actually a cool night here in North Florida)
8. The view that I have of my eccentric neighbor’s Christmas tree fully lit outside my back patio window across the pond…(why not Christmas in March, right? I laugh and feel full of love when I see those lights come on at night. This neighbor, by the way, will take the tree down in august sometime… ha!lol)
9. The peace that I feel inside knowing I had a good day.
10. My laptop computer here which faithfully works for me…
What comforts are you thankful for this evening? (feel free to comment and share with us…!)
Much love and peace to all of you. Have a lovely night! It is time I get going with my stir fry…

Taking a break from the busy-ness
Published November 20, 2012 | 
I am thankful for a chance to pause for a moment,
and take a break from the strain of being “on” all day…
If your business has become too much busy-ness,
your home and holiday season too much hustle bustle…
I invite you to give yourself a break!
Slow down, if just for a few moments.
Make that tea (or pour that glass of wine), and breathe.
Write
Sit
Take a walk outside.
If we are so busy doing and giving, there is not much left of us at the end of a day or week.
So stop.
Breath.
Take that break.
Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. ~Ovid

Posted in anxiety, Happiness, Peace, stress, Ways to relax | peace, rest, stressed holidays | Leave a commentWhat would happen if we let go of these five things? (a good night sleep perhaps)?
Published August 14, 2012 | 
Not sleeping well? Perhaps if we let go of:
1. perfectionism,
2. caring so much about what others think of us,
3. regret,
4. worrying about the unknown future,
5. blaming (ourselves, our spouses, our jobs, society, the economy…),
Perhaps, just perhaps…
We may let go of these things long enough to experience true peace and a good night sleep.
Just perhaps? 
In Peace,
Debra

Being free from anxiety means these ten things…
Published July 20, 2012 | 
Yesterday, we wrote in our journals about what being free from anxiety would mean to us.
Here are a few things that surfaced for me when I did my journal writing…
What Freedom from Anxiety means to me:
1. Saying yes to getting together with friends more frequently
2. Being able to have people over to my house and actually enjoy the evening
3. Not constantly worrying about whether I said the right or wrong thing to somebody.
4. not worrying about how emails I sent will be interpreted.
5. Confidently going for my dreams
6. Getting a good night sleep at night
7. Genuine smiling when I want to rather than the phony people pleasing mask
8. Being friendlier to people
9. Not being afraid to be successful in business
10. Being present more
More than anything, freedom from anxiety is peace.
I wish us all a peaceful evening.
Coming attraction for next post:
We want to be free from anxiety. So how do we go about doing that? (feel free to comment in with your ideas)!
In Peace,
Debra

Peace comes when…
Published May 22, 2012 | 
1. You let things go…
2. You focus on one thing at a time.
3. You are unshakeable in the face of criticism (who cares what others think)?
4. You have purpose (a reason to get out of bed in the morning) such as meaningful work, hobbies, family, etc.
5. You know you are enough!
In Peace,
Debra

Published April 22, 2012 | 
We feel cozy and loved when:
1. We are in a safe environment.
2. We are being affirmed rather than criticized.
3. We are in our comfy clothes…
4. The people around us (people and pets) love us for who we are,
5. We feel peace and harmony for we know…
6. Life supports us and is working with us.
Here’s to being at our ease tonight and each night of our lives.
Much love to you, Dear Warm Milk Reader…
Debra
