When facing a complicated, complex or convoluted situation Dear One, what if instead of  trying to address the most difficult, overwhelming or confusing part of the equation first, you started by addressing the simplest?

And what if, once you did that, once you handled the easiest part of what was in front of you, you then chose to address the simplest, most manageable piece of what was remaining?

And so on and so forth.

What do you think would happen if you approached your complicated situation in this way Dear One?

We can tell you what we think would happen.

We think that it wouldn’t take you very long to discover that your very complex, complicated and overwhelming situation, did in fact, have a very simple solution after all.

But don’t take our word for it.

Choose joy today Dear One, every chance that you get.

• Choose to think joyful thoughts
• Choose to speak joyful words
• Choose to want, do, and plan for things that will bring you joy

Be vigilant about it.

Practice it, a lot.

Practice it until you get really, really good at it.

Practice it as if your future happiness depended on it.

Because it does.

How do you treat someone when you love them Dear One?

• Do you call them stupid when they make a mistake?
• Do you call them ugly when they gain a few pounds?
• Do you yell at them for coming in 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, or last even?
• Do you tell them that they are failure when things don’t work out as planned?
• Do you judge them for not making more money?
• Do you think less of them when they are not well?

Do you see where we are going here?

Why hold on to a grudge Dear One, when there are so many other more pleasant things out there that you can choose to hold on to instead?

Sometime healing does not require a new herb, potion, tonics or pill Dear One.  Sometimes it does not require a new way of thinking, moving, eating, or behaving. Sometimes it does not require a new mantra, meditation, massage or treatment.  Sometimes it doesn’t even require compassion, understanding, insight or forgiveness.

Sometimes Dear One, the only thing that is required to heal, is rest.

So, before you go off in search of a new answer, a new technique, a new practice, a new method, a new plan for healing your body, for healing your life, why not give resting a try instead.

Make a commitment, to sleep, for 8 hours, (or as close to that as you can possibly can) every single night, for one week, and see how you feel.

Don’t make excuses Dear One, make it happen.

What have you got to lose?

If you relax Dear One, let go, allow, trust, breathe, smile, lighten up, things in your life will flow a whole lot more smoothly than they are right now.

We know that you know this already, but from where we are sitting, it looked as though you could use the reminder.

It happened Dear One.

You can’t change it, undo it, or make it not so.

But that does not mean that you are powerless here, that does not mean that you are without options.

If fact, there is an option available to you that will help you to miraculously get over it in a heartbeat if you should want to, if you are willing, loving and brave enough to choose it for yourself.

And that option is to decide to simply let it go.

Life is not meant to be figured out Dear One.

It is meant to be enjoyed.

Your mind knows what it has experienced Dear One.  It knows what it has seen, heard and been told.  Your mind knows what it has touched, tasted and smelled.   Your mind can create great joy, tranquility and health within you, as well as great distress, turmoil, and disease with nothing more than a single thought.

Your mind is a very powerful tool.

Your heart knows all Dear One.  It knows eternity.  It knows who you are, where you came from, and what you are capable of.  It knows that absolutely anything is possible, without exception.  It knows more about you than you know about yourself.  It is your gateway, your point of connection, to all that is.

Your heart contains the wisdom of the universe.

If we were in your shoes, we would trust our hearts more than we trusted logic, more than we trusted our best friend, more than we trusted the internet, more than we trusted anyone or anything.

If we were you Dear One, if there were ever a question of which to trust, our heart or our mind, we would choose to trust the wisdom of the heart every time.
