How I focus my energy on the things within my control

Life is filled with ups and downs that are sometimes overwhelming. Focusing my energy on things that I have some control over keeps me sane and brings me mental clarity.

When I seek opportunities that end up eluding me, I avoid feeling disappointed. I remind myself that doing my best is good enough. I choose to focus on the positive experiences I gain along the way.

I am able to control my reaction to difficult experiences. When I respond in a positive fashion, I usually get the best results, regardless of the situation.

I have control over my own actions, so I spend energy on being the best I can be. I have a lot of confidence in myself. I am proud to show my strengths to others despite how they feel about me.

Another person’s impression of me is their concern and has little impact on my impression of myself.

I am guided by principles that enrich my life and take pride in the person I am today. It feels good to like myself through and through.

Practicing “Once Upon A Lowly Stable” Children’s Songbook Hymn, (it’s the only song I’ve learned to play to the end on a guitar, while waiting for paint to dry.

Everyday, I avoid putting a burden upon my heart with things outside of my control. I choose to live a life free of anxiety and worry. Life is positive and rich when I channel my attention to the things that I can make an impact on.

The final result in this project is that when it comes to a discrepancy in which water is the foe, apparently the water wins. Creative Emphasis Art by Linda Dawkins
