Benefit #4

Have you ever woke up and after a few hours realized that while you don't feel entirely sick, you don't feel entirely well either? That is how I felt this morning by the time I got to the office at 7:30am. Sluggish, maybe a cold coming on.

Clearly not feeling well. I wrote "I love my red hair" half heartedly on a post-it note and stuck it up on my monitor and just stared at it in a morning daze when I thought, wow...you know I really DO love having red hair. If I could change it I don't know what I would change it to. Red really suits me - it works great with my green eyes and red for sure is a great match for my firey personality.

I focused all day on how much I truly LOVE my red hair and I just now realized that I don't feel like I'm getting sick anymore.

I feel GREAT!

Holding on.

“There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.” ― Kate DiCamillo , Because of Winn-Dixie

Go lightly

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it's the best advice ever given me... So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly."

The truth

  “We tell ourselves we don't speak the truth because we don't want to hurt others, but it's far more likely that we don't want to bear the consequences of our choices. We tell a white lie to a friend that we're "busy" the night they ask us to do something when we don't feel like going. We don't tell our partner we're mentally and emotionally checked out of our marriage, not because it will hurt them, but because of the consequences of this choice. We don't flag the problem at work because we'll be tasked with the solution. The stories we tell aren't protecting others. They're protecting ourselves. ” -Shane Parrish
