Healing thoughts during Holy Week

I am listening to “Tomaso Albinoni- Adagio in G Minor by Gizatto” as I write this post.

I’m exhausted. Not from work but from trying to figure out things from 3:00 PM till midnight yesterday. That’s all I can do. I can only do so much. It is not my job to control people, outcomes, circumstances, life. There is magic in letting go. Sometimes we get what we want soon after we let go. Sometimes it takes longer. Sometimes the specific outcome we desire doesn’t happen. Something better does. I trust that by letting go, I have started the wheels in motion for things to work out in the best possible way.


I may not be there yet but I’m closer than I was yesterday – Natalia Campbell

The way my life is unfolding is good.

Who I am and the way I do things is good enough for today.

Who I am and the way I did things yesterday was good enough for that day.

Today, I will let go and take in healing thoughts.

At times like these, I need to think healing thoughts.


Life is like riding a bicycle . In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving Albert Einstein

When in doubt about my timing or present position in life, I assure myself that all is well. I am right where I am meant to be. I reassure myself that others are too.

When I ponder the future, I tell myself that it will be good. When I look back at the past, I relinquish regrets.

When I feel discomfort, I know it will pass. When I identify a need, I tell myself that it will be met.

When I notice problems, I affirm there will be a timely solution and a gift from the problem.

When I worry about those I love, I ask God to protect and care for them. When I worry about myself, I ask God to do the same.

When I think about others, I think of love. When I think of myself, I think of love.

I watch as my thoughts transform to reality.

Today, I will think healing thoughts.


“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end” Seneca , Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD

    @elena- we need to acknowledge it now and then.

    After the frenzy of fun seeking my Man Blog cohorts and I are fairly known for, I do feel the weight of life’s realities bearing quite heavily on my shoulders; these days more often than I would like. Thanks for reminding me that my thoughts allow me to define my reality. Have blissfully peaceful week Tita Noemi!

    Holy Week is not just a time to unwind but to reflect about our life and how we live according to God’s plans for us. Have a blessed Holy Week, Noemi :)

    i am reminded by a text message i received the other day – lahat ng problema may solusyon, kung walang solusyon wag mong problemahin :D it’s supposed to be a funny message but there’s a lot of wisdom there i think.

    Hello. I chanced upon your blog in FilipinoLinks.com. This post reminded me of what I always tell myself when things don’t go my way – God will never leave you. He will replace everything you lost. If He asks you to put something down, it’s because He wants you to pick up something greater. Btw, you are welcome to visit my blog, OnlyinSilence.com, anytime. Happy long weekend! ;o)
