These are the
steps to remember as one transforms to better living.
I stands for
Imagery. Picture yourself in a place
where you feel calm, positive, hopeful, and good about yourself. Maybe you see yourself on a beach with
beautiful warm sand between your toes and lovely water and vegetation
surrounding you. You feel your freed
spirit and are light on your feet. Maybe
you see yourself fishing, camping, or remember the last time you felt
successful in your life. Do you feel
your confidence and pride?
M represents
Meaning. We all need to accept that we
are in life for a reason. Maybe you are
here to be a parent, partner, soul mate, caregiver, or career person. We belong on this earth.
P is Prayer. Let God into your life to wash away defeat,
give you strength, courage, and wisdom.
R lets a person
Relax. Practice breathing through your
nose and out your mouth. Shut your eyes
and feel tension leave your muscles.
Take a cat nap.
O stands for one-mindfully. Focus on just one step at a time.
Vacation says
to give yourself a break. Take time for
yourself for at least an hour each day.
Exercise, bathe in a warm bath, or walk.
This can be an hour or a day. Set
time for just you.
Encouragement
is the practice of self-talk and support from others.
