Positive Thinking: Words of wisdom card #5

18 Mar

When life sends you curve balls, sometimes they are harder to hit back than you think: Pain, fatigue and limitations make some days a struggle to keep up fast pace at work with one very awkward casted purple arm. And so, I pull out my positive thinking from my back pocket and write down the things that keep my on the cup half full side of life -always remembering how it nearly all got taken away; and lucky that I love talking and for the 2nd fracture in a year that I am not a surgeon so I can keep working.....

Here's my next card to share how to move on... Words of Wisdom #5

Trust your intuition, where there’s a will, there’s a way, laugh, give yourself permission to rest, look at what you can do, face the bumps with a smile, life is full of surprises – be adaptable, keep learning, make achievable goals, stay connected, ask for help, make lists, choose to be happy, work out to great music, don’t procrastinate, make it happen, the best things in life are free, don’t be afraid to begin, book friends time, style points count – make the effort, pick up the phone and call, be young at heart, no regrets, take different routes, try new things, challenge yourself, book walk and talk time together, positive energy is contagious, believe in yourself, be authentic., commit, hang out with positive people, rise above adversity, give back, love the new you – bigger by experience, feel good moments – freeze frame.

About both sides
