There are times I find it very difficult to focus. I feel as though I’m floating in a storm. The waves rush against my body, filling my lungs with salt water as I struggle to breathe . I search to find land and the energy to propel my arms to stroke and swim to a dry spot.

I close my eyes and take deep breaths, one, two and three. I focus my thoughts and fill my lungs with positive energy that allows me to swim toward all the challenges of a new day. I know my intentions and goals will allow me to harness my energy. I am now in control of today.
