Trainer Tip: It's up to us to get our own needs met. Mary offers some encouraging tips to do just that! Trainer Tip Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify yourlife, the laws of the universe will be simpler.—Henry David Thoreau It’s simple, really. If you want connection, connect. If you want peace in your life, be peaceful. Don’t wait for the Red Sea to part. Start small. Try to remember to look the cashier in the eye when you thank him. Thank your mail carrier for her service to you and your family. Say hello to your neighbor. Or just spend time connecting with yourself. All your attempts to connect with yourself and other people will bring fruit. No effort is wasted. Commit to living peacefully today in your interactions with other people and yourself. This trainer tip is an excerpt from Mary Mackenzie's book Peaceful Living, available from PuddleDancer Press.
