http://www.womensconference.org/home/ http://www.womensconference.org/master/#PageComment_1519 I almost hit the "delete" button on the email before taking the few minutes I did to read it; and everything clicked into place. I had forgotten those 3 little steps that if you take to heart, can lead to a less stressful life. I was in the middle of a work meltdown, normally I am very patient, but as "wonder woman" many of my co-workers tend to push the envelope on asking to take on a project for them. Always one to stay at my desk during break, lunch, etc., I literally got up and walked away for 15 minutes. I found a nice spot outside where I was able to listen to the family of birds nesting closeby and felt the tension melt away. God bless you for reminding me of the 3 little steps!

I have incorporated more me time into my life, by walking when I felt like it, by knitting, when I wanted solitude, by giving myself permission to take a nap, when I felt tired. I even give myself permission to eat only when I am hungry. I am grateful about the time I have with myself, which nurtures my soul.

I guess that is why I am usually so stressed out. I spend way too much time taking care of other people to think about me. Thank you for this wonderful article. I am going to try very hard to follow it's principles.

I know it is so important to take time for just me, do I do it all the time or as much as I should? Not at all. I enjoy quiet and serene moments where my mind can become clear and at ease. Life is such a gift and should be cherished. Take a moment at a time is my motto. Simple is what I need to bring each day. I like the statement of 'to disappearing myself'.

I can hear my own heart beating strong. I can hear nature, like birds and wind in the trees. I can hear God guiding me. This all brings me peace...and is peace not what everyone is searching for? It's this easy! Pass it on.

Thanks for the reminder.
