Do you remember back in the old days before 199 channels of 24/7 Cable TV?

Stations actually used to sign off for the night and say”This concludes our daily programming”.  At least then they gave us a break from  the mental assault that took place on our minds.   Now there is a ton of “stuff” being hurled at us non stop.  In order to stay sane in a crazy world you’ve got to engage in some programming of yourself for yourself. 

If you don’t feel good enough about yourself then you can’t shine & let people see the best in you.  And if you’re not feeling your best you can’t gel with the best in others.  (HighRoadism).   Here are a few of the items I use to get my mind right.

Validation – This reminds me that Allah (God) validated me when he created me.  Other people may (or may not) give me confirmation but it all starts with how I see me.

Free Hugs – This is an ice breaker.  Sometimes in a “dog eat dog” “me first” world its all too easy to forget the human connection that we all share.  Being humble, compassionate, loving, friendly are not signs of weakness and have never caused me to lose what was meant for me.

Stop worrying – I have faced things yesterday that by the grace of the Most High I made it through and I trust, hope & believe that I will prevail over challenges and obstacles today and for a long time to come.  Every day that I live I’m growing in knowledge, wisdom and understanding.  And so are you.  Some things we can and will shape to our own liking and some things we won’t.

If its yours to control then handle it the way only you can.  If its out of your control guess what.  Its a chance to learn.

Feel Good.  Love Yourself.  Make Today Count.  Acknowledge the Most High in You.  Now you’re ready.
