There’s something relaxing about going into a bookstore. I love that bookstores are places where you can have some hot tea while you sit and read for awhile.

Last week I was in a bookstore, and after I checked out, the bookseller behind the counter asked me if I would like to have a “card.” She fanned out about thirty 4 x 4 laminated cards for me to pick one. I’m not sure if I picked the card or the card picked me.

One side of the card read, “The Past is Over.” The other side said, “This is a new day, one that I have never lived before. I stay in the Now and enjoy each and every moment.”

I taped that card on my “Words Wall” beside my desk so that I can look at it everyday. Its helps me release the past and refrain from worrying about tomorrow. I actually have a number of cards taped to my wall in various sizes and colors – all reminders about how I should live everyday. When I catch myself allowing a thought that is not empowering, I look at my wall and find some words that help get me back on track.

It’s hard to stay on track all the time – we all need reminders. Even when I’m not consciously looking at them, I know they are there and what they say – the positive energy is always working for me.

Then you can set up your own “Words Wall.”
