Music Therapy with Miss Moon

“ Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.”
~ Arthur Somers Roche

" There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever."
~ Mahatma Gandhi

“ Worry is as useless as a handle on a snowball.”
~ Mitzi Chandler

Several months ago, I made the decision to end what was probably the most important relationship I've had in my lifetime.  And I have not looked back with regret yet. As a result of this breakup, I have been happier, and I have literally lightened up in the process.

Yes... I have broken up with my need to worry about everything in my life. When I thought very clearly about it, I realized that it was the best thing for me. And yes, it's scary, but what did worrying EVER help me to accomplish?!? Absolutely nothing. So, I've given worry the boot, and welcome opportunity, growth, and blessings in its place.

After a break up of this magnitude, I find it's always great to find a great love song to play, and when you are looking for love songs.... you can't do better than Stevie Wonder!

So I hope you all will enjoy today's Music Therapy with Miss Moon song pick, "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing", and I hope that it will inspire you to put worry where it belongs... the curb!

Everybody's got a thing 

But some don't know how to handle it 

Always reachin' out in vain 

Accepting the things not worth having but 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 

Cause I'll be standing on the side 

When you check it out 

They say your style of life's a drag 

And that you must go other places 

But just don't you feel too bad 

When you get fooled by smiling faces but 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 

Cause I'll be standing on the side 

When you check it out...Yeah 

When you get it off...your trip 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing...Yeah 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing...Yeah 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 

Cause I'll be standing on the side 

When you check it out... 

When you get it off...your trip 

Everybody needs a change 

A chance to check out the new 

But you're the only one to see 

The changes you take yourself through 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama 

Cause I'll be standing in the wings 

When you check it out 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing 

Break up with worry today! Leave a comment with your "Dear Worry" letter! Be sure to mention what you plan on replacing worry with! :)

Be Blessed: And CHOOSE to feel GOOD

"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live." ~ Flora Whittemore

"To decide is to walk facing forward with nary a crick in your neck from looking back at the crossroads." ~ Betsy Cañas Garmon

"Your attitude is everything. What you came intending to focus upon in this life was your level of joy. When you click upon and set your tuner to wanting joy, everything else falls into alignment."
~ Abraham-Hicks



One of my favorite lines from the movie "Cousins" (with Ted Danson and Isabella Rossellini) is from Lloyd Bridges' character, Vince: "You've got only one life to live. You can either make it chicken sh*t or chicken salad. ". I don't know about y'all, but I'd much rather have me a chicken salad! LOL

Every morning, when we wake up and start a new day, we're presented with a choice: Will my day be a good one, or a crappy one?

We often ignore the opportunities that can come for making the choice to feel good, simply because we think that the choice is not ours to make. That's not the case!

No one has the power to make your day unhappy if you've made the choice to feel good: not that dude knocked you out of the way to get a seat in the subway, not your boss, not your landlord, not that gum-poppin' teller at the bank, no one. Just you.

When you've made a conscious choice to feel good and respond only to energy that makes you feel good... encounters with people who aren't joyful will be few and far between. And if any grumplestiltskins should try to venture onto your path, you can just shake, shake, shake, shake...shake them off (Like Mariah Carey! LOL).

Try it tomorrow! Monday is the perfect day to start a pattern of feeling good (I also promise to provide you with a Music Therapy Song to help accomplish this goal, so visit tomorrow morning!) Wake up in the morning and think to yourself, "Today.. I am choosing to have a good day!"
