July 2008
Reflection
Reducing Stress & Restoring Balance
Take time to think—It is the source of power.
Take time to play—It is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to laugh—It is the music of the soul.
Take time to pray—It is the greatest power on Earth.

Monthly Practice:
For the month of July, make time everyday to think; to play; to laugh;
and to pray.
Track the quality of your thinking today. How creative, resourceful, inspiring, and productive is your thinking?
What are the current sources of fun, play, and laughter in your life? Increase all of these this month.
Make time for reflection, and silence each day. What is your relationship to prayer at this time?
