More One-Step Anxiety Reduction topics

It’s Monday, Love Day,

It’s time for me to go to the source of all love,

And ask for help reducing anxiety.

I probably need some help.

I could try it alone,

But I think it’s better to ask for help.

I’m going to check later

On how many times I asked for help today.

Here are more topics I can choose to work on:

Practice focusing on being in the present moment.

List the benefits of positive thinking.

List the consequences of negative thinking.

Identify situations that herald the onset of my anxiety.

I will deal with one issue at a time.

That’s all I can do,

I’ll keep it simple!

And here are more anxiety reduction topics:

How can I promote calm and peace within myself?

What has worked in the past?

How can I use my breathing to relax?

Here’s what I can do:

Every time I am anxious

I can focus on my breathing until I am calm.

I am going to give it a try!

I won’t be overwhelmed by the above list!

I will make each topic I choose easy to do.

If it seems difficult,

I won’t do it,

Until I can make it easy to do.

Easy does it!

It’s just one step at a time.

I’m going to make it really easy to do.

Caring for Self Day

Mediocrity Surrounds Me

I’m mediocre

I’m not going anywhere

I’m neither here, nor there

I’m the nowhere guy

I’m not a sinner not a saint

I’m the nowhere gal

I’m just not going anywhere

I’m in the middle

I wish I were somebody

I wish I were special

I wish I were happy

I wish, I wish

I have no goals that get me somewhere

I’m just not going anywhere

I’m a nice guy

I’m a nice gal

I’m liked

I can be fun

I’m okay I guess

I’m not bad 

I’m just not going anywhere

I’m mediocre

I’m stuck

I don’t know who I am or who I am supposed to be

I’m okay I guess

I’m no better than most

I’m no worse

I’m just not going anywhere

Counseling is about going somewhere

Your Wisdom is Needed

Your Wisdom is Needed

2-5-16

Friday

Wisdom Day

Your Wisdom is Needed

You are a link between the Source and the universe

Your wisdom is important

You have the potential of being an agent of change

Your wisdom is key

You will help create a more beautiful world

Your wisdom is sought

You are an agent of change

The world depends upon you

And the wisdom within you

You may be unaware of your importance to the universe

It is hard to fathom

That we are in such demand

That the power has been given to us

It is your wisdom

That’s the power

It is within you

The power of your wisdom needs to be harnessed

Know your importance

Value your wisdom

It brings light to the world

Wow!

Be impressed

By what the Source has given you

You have the wisdom

And the power

To change the world

You know it

Do it!

Change the world

Caring for Self Day

Use Your Wisdom

You may as well

Because no one else will

Remember

It is your own special wisdom

Use it!

That’s why it has been given to you

It’s your gift from the universe

And yours to give back to all its inhabitants

Value it!

Use your gift of wisdom

Yes it is special

And so are you

And that wisdom is within you

But it won’t do the world any good

Unless you share it

And let it take flight

Allowing it to return to the universe

To be heard and seen

Value your wisdom

Each of you has the wisdom to live by and share

That’s why you are here in this universe

Each of you has been chosen to share

For the purpose of making this world a better place

It is meant to be the goal for both you and me

The universe awaits our contribution to mankind

Each one of us has been asked to share our message

Of wisdom and of love

And that’s how we will make this world a better place

A Day to be Happy

What is Happiness?

It’s a state of well being

A state of contentment

It doesn’t come and go

It tends to last

Happiness

It’s a state of joy

A pleasurable state

A glad feeling

A happy life

Your happiness

Now that’s something else

For each human being

It’s a unique feeling of its own

Your happiness is only yours

You create your happiness

Each of us designs our own

Yours will be special

It will only be yours

And mine will be mine

Your happiness

It’s up to you

Think about it

You will make it beautiful

Wednesday

The One-Step approach to Happiness

As I promised yesterday

I am reposting a blog from

6-9-15

It’s called

One Little Step

The one-step approach

Yesterday we applied it to you

Today we apply it to your children

And all the children of the world

Be gentle, kind and understanding

Don’t ask for too much

Just one little step

It’s the one-step approach

Don’t ask for more than that from your child

Or anyone

Not even from yourself

That’s all we can do

Just one little step

But do it well

And when you or he or she does it

It will feel good

Don’t push to do anything huge

It can’t usually be done

And then it will be a problem

That you created

And that’s not good

Be “good”, be nice, and be loving

It only takes little steps

For great accomplishments to happen

Don’t promise big things

Let them happen one little step at a time

Stay focused on today

And the beauty of it all will appear

Dr. Tony

With kindness, love and understanding

A gift to you

And your gift to the world

The Requirement for Being Happier

Tuesday

Another Happiness Day

Credit: Scenescapery

The requirement for being happier involves

Changing  your thinking

Your happiness at this moment

Is the result of your past thinking

In order to be happier now

Change your thinking

Do you want to be happier?

Then change your thinking

Start small

You can’t just go from sad to happy

But you can start small

Very small

Start with a small change in your thinking:

I will think a positive thought

I will say something nice to someone

I will smile at someone

Just a small change

Take the first little step

Tomorrow

We will post a popular blog from 6-9-15

It’s entitled

“One little step”

It’s the one-step approach

Let’s do it!

Monday

Love Day

Let’s be happy

I’m going to assume

That most of us are happy to some degree

But could be happier

That’s probably true

Today is “love day”

Let’s think today about loving ourselves more

By becoming happier

This could be the start of our happiness journey

It’s a good start if that’s what we want

Let’s be happier

I like that thought so much so

That I, Dr.Tony, want to join you

On this happiness journey

I truly could be happier

Let’s focus on being happier

You and I

This is about loving ourselves

And we start our happiness journey

By focusing on becoming happier

Wanting to be happier

This is our goal

This is our focus

Together we walk hand-in-hand

On our beautiful happiness journey

Tomorrow we continue this walk together

Spirituality Day

She is my great-granddaughter

She’s a little girl who had cancer

An ode to Katie-Anne

O little girl

We love you

You are our princess

You bring us love

You bring us joy

And we return that love and joy to you

O Katie-Anne

If only you knew

What a gift you have been for us

If only you knew

How you have given us a new understanding of life

And how we have learned to value it

O little girl

We send you our love

With all the miracles

That love can produce

You are our angel

You are our beloved

O  Katie-Anne

I believe you are now in remission

We thank God
