"Oiling" the "Machine"! ;-)

There are certain things you can and SHOULD tell yourself; Certain "worries" you should try to let go of.  If your life is not what you want it to be, then instead of sitting around worrying, which does NOTHING, except for making you stress out more and your life much worse, make a promise/VOW to yourself, to keep moving forward and never stop trying until your last breath to make your world better.
Many times, this mentality is easier said than done.....I KNOW!  ;-)  On those occasions, allow yourself a "breather"; Acknowledge that you are a human being, and NOT a machine.  And hey, GUESS WHAT??  Even machines need routine maintenance once in a while, in order to continue functioning properly!    So, every now and then when it feels like the world is crashing in on you....TAKE A BREAK....It doesn't have to be "fancy" or expensive or complicated....Sit outside on your porch, (Or wherever) take a deep breath, "quiet your mind",  and let it focus on BEAUTY....the sound of the birds, crickets, wind in the trees, etc., and try NOT to focus on solving "issues".  This is NOT the time for that....this is the time for YOUR routine "maintenance"!
You MUST do this for yourself occasionally or much like a machine or your "wheels", you will cease to function properly....So go on and DO IT....Give yourself a "break" and BREATHE!!! :-)
