Wisdom On The Web
The 4-7-8 Breath (also known as the Relaxing Breath) is the perfect, portable stress antidote, as it puts the practitioner in a relaxed state almost immediately. Conscious breathing takes various forms. Dr. Weil believes each variety can be a useful tool for achieving a desired mental or physical state. As the Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh puts it, “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor”.
Life Power Tip
Get the right tools for the job. Once you are clear about where you want to go and you have set targets for your goals, it is time to start looking for everything you will need for getting the job done. It may include specific times for visualization, conversations with certain people, the right speed for your computer, a new web domain, a good headset etc. Begin listing the resources and set yourself up for success. Your lack of resources must never become your reasons for not moving forward.
Action
Make an appointment to have a massage.
Challenge
Identify your bottlenecks and do something to streamline them.
Quote
It is by attempting to reach the top in a single leap that so much misery is produced in the world. -William Cobbett
Clearing
Get your calendar up to date with holidays, birthdays, or get-away days.
Question
What are you enjoying the most in your life?
Affirmation
I choose to always be focused on the result I want to produce.
Uplifting Extra
Life often feels heavier than it needs to be. Many of us carry habits, worries, routines and obligations that no longer serve us. These attachments can drain our energy, cloud our judgement and quietly steal opportunities. Learning to let go is not about giving up or losing control. It is about creating space for curiosity, growth and freedom. Letting go is a small act with surprisingly big results. Life feels lighter when you release the things that hold you back. Learn how to identify attachments, manage fear and grief and create practical systems to let go, reclaim energy and focus on what truly matters. Small steps can lead to profound freedom.

More inspired self improvement every day!
It’s difficult to be inspired if you’re stuck in a negative state. Inspiration is not just a flash of vision, it’s a motivation that births creativity.
People who get inspired are usually the ones more eager to jump into a project and stick with it. Inspired people have greater confidence not to doubt themselves.
Every day, seek out personal moments of clarity, increasing your awareness of new possibilities that surround you.

Any content published by me at Forward Steps is never “absolute truth”. I simply direct you to a variety of ideas that prickle your mind and introduce positive resources to better equip your life journey.
In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes…
“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions”.
One favorite saying at my desk, is…
Whatever you focus on, WILL expand! Share on XThat’s one of many reasons that I love to share positive content. Forward Steps is for adding wings to our unique life journey!
Sometimes, you’ll find me recommending or presenting the same product(s) more than one time.
When repeating a training or using a tool that I’ve used or come across before, often I’ll “see” something brand new or have a fresh insight/perspective, that I might not have picked up on earlier. In that moment, perhaps I am finally “ready” to REALLY hear and receive its message or lesson.
It is not unlike seeing a movie for the second time and realizing that I’d not remembered seeing a particular scene, from the first viewing. As Nelson Mandela once said…
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
When you see something that has already been presented to you once before, then I invite you to revisit it anyhow.
Give up any judgement about whether it is “good” or “bad”. It JUST IS and you are alive, so you’re in luck. You get to choose, again!
I love these words from Gelett Burgess…
“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.”
Tens of thousands of people, from many countries & backgrounds, receive Forward Steps emails. Everyone is at different stages of their life journey, everyone is looking for different things and experiencing different things.
Some of us learn best by hearing, others are more visual and yet others love to gather information by reading. This makes for a phenomenal challenge, in satisfying everybody’s individual needs and preferences. Even should we assume “that nothing is impossible” – this challenge gives an awfully good impression of “impossible”!
We are all different. Seldom one solution fits all. I provide a vast array of resources (hundreds, in fact) to cater for a multi-dimensional audience and I always recommend you remember this quote…
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own. -Bruce Lee Share on XIn Lak’ech Ala K’in,
