Life Can Be Easier
This week we focus on the concept of “Easy Does It”. Today’s MotD reminds us that easy does it does work. Our society, at least western culture, professes the idea of working hard to achieve our goals as a positive thing. And yes, some goals can only be accomplished that way, but not EVERYTHING! A lot of has to do with mindset. If we believe that something is going to be hard, there’s an excellent chance it will be. Thankfully, the opposite is also true.
I’m reminded to use my weight reduction journey as an example. Up until right now, as I’m writing this, I have believed that “loosing weight” is hard. I’ve said it out loud numerous times and I’ve heard other people say the exact same thing. It’s deeply engrained into our psyche.
However, in reality, it’s quite simple: eat less, move more…oh probably drink more water. Yes, I understand there are medical conditions that make it more challenging, but in general, it really is that simple, so why do I (we) make it seem so hard. Because I (we) believe it to be true.
Starting right now, I affirm the following: reaching and maintaining my goal weight is simple.
How about you? What task, job, situation have you caught yourself saying “it’s hard” or “it’s too hard”? Is it really? What makes it hard? Do you believe that life, your life, can be easier? What one thing can you change to make it easier?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:
Peace & Blessings,

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
