Greetings!
Welcome back from Thanksgiving break! I do hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and took some time to recognize the blessings in your lives! I most certainly did!
In this week's newsletter I talk about the benefits of Setting Your Standards and Conscious Breathing. Setting Your Standards reveals why that is important and how it can help you receive what you want. In the article, Conscious Breathing, I talk about how focusing on your breathing can reduce stress.

| Setting Your Standards |
When you have set a firm intention to achieve a goal or dream you are setting up a particular standard for yourself. If you are wishy-washy about what it is you want, you are allowing your standards to be set for you. Ask yourself these questions: Who is it you want to be or what is it you want to have? Are you willing to go for it? Do you make the firm decision to do so and not allow your choice to waiver? Or do you allow the standards to be set for you by not making a conscious choice on what you will or will not accept?
Be honest with yourself when you answer these questions because they will reveal to you the level of strength and determination you have to achieve your goal or dream. When you lack strength and determination, you are willing to be pushed around by others and outside circumstances, and most likely will not reach your goal or dream. I learned this the hard way but I did learn. I know now to set my own standards for what I will and will not accept.
I once held a belief that whatever was meant to be, will be, without any input from me. In other words, if my circumstances were less than acceptable, I believed that was the way it was supposed to be. This completely demolished my self-worth and self-value. I just didn't understand at the time that I could set the standards for what I had in my life and in my relationships. Not deciding what I would allow for myself was the same as allowing mediocrity or worse.
I also learned not to give up on my goal even when it didn't appear to be "showing up" for me. If I didn't lower my standards or waiver, then it would always "show up" just in time. When it involved relationships, my goal was not to have a certain person behave in a certain way - that would only set up stress, anger, and resentment. Instead, the goal would be for the relationship to be more harmonious in meeting both our needs, in other words a win-win. This worked with many of my relationships. I didn't necessarily need to know what others' needs were, just that the goal was a win-win and then not allow the goal to deter.
It's important to assess your standards of what you will or will not accept. It's equally important to develop strength and determination in achieving the dream or goal of what you will accept. Most importantly, don't give up on that dream or goal. You will have your standards met - just be open to it being met in a harmonious way for everyone's benefit. That way we all get to live in joy! |

| Conscious Breathing | |
 There are many people who, in times of stress, actually hold their breath without realizing it. Doing this not only cuts off the flow of much needed oxygen, but also holds the stress in. In practicing the conscious breath technique, you can relax much faster and reap the benefits of a more relaxed body and mind.
When in a stressful situation, take a deep breath in through the nose. Hold the breath for a few seconds, then slowly exhale through the mouth. Do this at least three times until you feel more relaxed and clear.
It can help if you set the intention to breathe in relaxation, and breathe out stress. This technique also works great with anger or any intense emotion.
Try it today! Enjoy! |
