I know the feeling... Things just aren't lining up the way you want them to. They aren't falling into place as you had hoped. Or maybe it's not happening
fast enough. I am sure we all experience this from time to time. So
what should you do?
The first thing I do is to change my mindset.
When I feel myself getting frustrated or when I start to feel the
anticipation coming on, I find it is best to stop and remember that my
agenda is not always the best agenda. Everything happens for a reason
and the Universe has a perfect schedule in mind even if it doesn't
always feel that way to us.
Sometimes it is necessary to just
stop the frustration, or the anticipation, or whatever you would
describe the feeling as, and look at the bigger picture. When we try to
force things to happen according to what we want and our schedules, we
are missing the full picture. The Universe holds more knowledge than we
can ever imagine from our own limited point of view. Sometimes we just
need to surrender, let go, and know that all is as it should be. When
the time is right, it will happen, and if it doesn't than that is also
right. That is not an easy thing to accept oftentimes, however when you
do embrace that thought, you will experience a sense of peace.
When
I change my mindset and allow in that belief that all is as it should
be and that the Universe knows what is best, I immediately am able to
release the tightness in my body and let go of the stress. Doing so
also allows you to get in a flow with life so that you are no longer
fighting an uphill battle, and instead you are flowing with the
beautiful stream of life. For more information about getting in the
flow, you can also sign up for one of my free telecl**** called Get In The Flow. Just go to: www.FaithsTelecl****.com for more info.

Being a mom certainly comes with its stresses, so this Mother's Day, make sure you take care of you! As mothers, we often try to be "Super Moms." We give and give and do and do, and sometimes we
wonder when someone will give to or do for us. This mother's day,
continue to give and do, but this time, give to and do for yourself.
Remember to nurture yourself so that you can be all that you have to be
for those little ones who need you so much. Here are some tips to help
manage your stress:
1) Tell yourself that motherhood is all
about the journey. It is an uphill battle when you push against the
natural flow of life and motherhood. Stop, take a deep breath, relax
your shoulders and jaw (the 2 places where most stress is held), and
just “allow.” You will then find the stress dissolving. Be in the
present moment with your kids and remember that this moment is all you
really have. This can help put things into perspective when you are
ready to fly off the handle.
2) Ask yourself, “Would this matter if I were to die in five minutes?” That may seem harsh,
but it helps put things in perspective. Stress can be managed by
controlling your thoughts, so the more you ask yourself
thought-provoking questions like these, the more you will be able to
see what really matters. When you are thinking in terms of what really
matters, you will naturally let the stress go.
3) Focus on
solutions, not problems. Did you ever notice that when you focus on the
problems, you dig yourself deeper into overwhelm and frustration? On
the other hand, when you focus on creating solutions, the problem will
rectify itself much easier. This also sets a very good example for your
kids in handling problems that come up in their lives because they will
learn to not just get lost in the problem and to come up with solutions
that will easily solve their problems before those problems stress them
out.
4) Know your limit. Take some time beforehand to determine your breaking point.
Instead of being caught off-guard when high levels of stres****,
develop a plan to reverse that path beforehand. That way, when you feel
stress coming, you can bring yourself back to center before your world
crashes around you.
5) Give yourself some extra padding. You
have a better foundation to live from when you are well rested and
cared for and you will naturally handle stress with more ease. Make it
a habit to take time to nurture and care for yourself. You can only
care for those little ones when you are well-cared for yourself! This
is so important!

Do you take some time each day to “stop and smell the roses” as they say? In this hurried world we live in, we rarely take the time to look at the beauty
that surrounds us. This affects us and leads to more stress in our
lives. Noticing the beauty around us has a calming effect on us,
therefore it is a natural stress release. When we go through our days
hurrying from one activity to the next, never stopping to have those
calming moments, the stress just builds up until we want to pop. So it
is necessary to add in these calming moments throughout your day in
order to break up the stresses. It helps to neutralize them.
All this means is that as you are walking to your car, you take
notice of the gentle breeze on your face and you hear the beautiful
song coming from the birds up the trees. When you are working on your
computer, you stop for a brief moment and you feel the warm sun shining
in through the window. When you are doing yard work, you feel the earth
energy and really experience the beauty in the flowers and trees. It’s
about becoming mindful as you go through your day. Don’t just do each
activity without noticing all the wonder that surrounds you.
When you begin to add this mindfulness into your life, you will
naturally feel calmer, as I mentioned before. You will also begin to
see the oneness of everything, and you will know that everything is
interconnected. We come to this earth and we forget that we are
connected to everything that exists. This is because everything, and I
mean everything, is made up of energy. We are made of energy. The
computer you are looking at is made of energy. The rocks on the ground
are made of energy, as are the flowers, trees, the food you eat, the
books you read, the oven, the table, the grass, the driveway, even your
thoughts, your words, your feelings, and your actions all carry an
energy. I could go on and on because literally everything is made up of
energy. Therefore, we are all united by that fact.
The beauty of oneness is that you are not alone. When you can really
grasp this point, you will notice things flowing more easily in your
life because you will begin to allow the energy of the Universe to help
you through life.

stress and flow with life, this program will help you do just that.
