By Jacqueline Madrigal
- When I feel stressed, I choose
to make an adventure out of the situation.
- When fear enters my mind, I
challenge myself to change my thoughts
 so that I can create the outcome I want.
- When life becomes a
routine/habit, I focus on the path that I am in to ensure that it is
the journey I want.
- Feeling trapped allows me to
feel helpless. When in reality, I have the freedom of choice.
- Feeling lonely robs me from
feeling joy and fun. When I have the power to choose how I
feel.
- Guilt when nothing was done
wrong hides the wisdom within us.
- When emptiness knocks, I choose
not to let it in. Instead I choose to have a fulfilled life
by actions.
- When my heart wants to become
sad, I steer it towards happiness as I am worth it.
- When my mind tells my body to be
numb, I will recall feelings of passion and thereby not allowing
numbness to live within me.
- When I am allowing myself to be
complacent, I am closing my doors to the universe. I will
then choose to open my eyes and take the risk of traveling within the
universe.
