Use A "MAP" To Stay On Your Positive Pathway

JUST FOR TODAY:  Develop a "MAP" with strategies to help you get back on track if you start heading off course.

You're following your pathway of Intuitive Self-Care and things are going well – then suddenly, you're faced with several challenges in your life.  It's as if you're in a torrential downpour, making your positive pathway difficult to see.  The next thing you know, you have veered far off your path, and you find yourself lost in a dark place.  But then you remember you have your "MAP" –  My Action Plan –  to help you find your pathway again.  What does a MAP include?  Specific strategies that you can implement to help you get back on track, such as reviewing the routine of Self-Care that has worked for you in the past, reading key affirmations to renew your motivation, or scheduling an appointment with your counselor to assist as your guide.  If you don't have a MAP, make one today, when you can see your pathway clearly.  Then, you'll have it to refer to if a storm hits and you get off course.  With a MAP, you may never get lost again!
