This is true love.

How can you bring back more of that child-like wonder so that you can enjoy the magic in every day moments? Today, how can you cultivate a little more curiosity?

Welcome to Mantra Monday - Peace Begins with ME. You cannot choose the circumstance, or how a person triggers you, or what someone else does or says, or even your thoughts and feelings which come and go constantly. But you can choose to pause, breathe, and create space to view and witness what is going on and what shows up, so that you can then choose your next behavior. Instead of immediately and unconsciously reacting, you can consciously respond.
