I haven’t felt peaceful for the last few days. I’ve felt crushed by anxiety about work, and more importantly, by several serious health issue with my dogs. I’ve been spiraling down in anxiety almost to the point of panic.

When that happens, it can be so difficult to regain your footing. So, sometimes it comes down to the most basic things for me:

*Get a good night sleep (I mean, go to bed early, and try for 8-9 hours)

*Eat a healthy meal with whole grains & veggies (when I’m stressed I crave junk food that doesn’t involve cooking, but that just causes more stress in the body, which then affects the mind)

*Write - get it out of my head and onto the page (or screen)

*Pet the dog

That’s what I did last night and this morning I woke up feeling so much better! No longer overwhelmed I was able to see what had been there all along but I was blind to it. Hope.

With my newly open eyes I stumbled in the Spirit Dancer’s Thread on Native American Spirituality this morning and that is where I found peace today. In the wisdom posted over the last few days. The words were there all along I just had to open myself up to let them in.

Like this posted by Spirit Dancer:

Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength. When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say.

Or this posted by TIMBERWOLF:

Prayer of Renewal

Beginnings, fresh and clean, Part of the Sacred Wheel
Each morning is a new opportunity,
To share our love, our Souls, and Spirits,
With those who choose to Walk this Path along with us,
To learn the lessons of the Wheel, and grow closer,
To The One Who- Created- All.
Each day is fresh and unblemished, clean and pure.
Look around, Rejoice in the New Beginning,
The Sun rises again, our hearts beat within our bodies,
We draw fresh Breath, and re-enter the World.
Set aside the pain of past days, each day begins afresh,
Build upon the past, its lessons and joys,
Be strengthened by the love within,
Reach out in love to those around us.
For each day is a gift, given but once.

KiiskeeN'tum- She Who Remembers -Mohawk

************************************************** **************************************************
I hope Spirit Dancer and TIMBERWOLF don’t mind me reposted these, they are just so beautiful. I wanted to thank you for the peace you’re brought me today.

Today is such a beautiful, sunshiney day! I found peace by closing my eyes, tilting my head back and letting the quiet warmth found in its rays of light wash over me.

This was pointed out to me this morning

purepisces,
holding you in light and glad you found peace within our words. We're here for you, anxiety and worry are very hard cornerstones in lfe,
balance can be lost momentarily but somehow great spirit shows us calm.

Bouncing my doggy up and down on my lap while saying "mommy loves blossy" over and over in baby speak.

Driving around the countryside late at night.

Spending hours hunting up old songs I may have forgotten.

Creating something; anything.
