Quotes To Live By

Quote #200: Michelle Bahr

Hi, I'm Michelle Bahr, a retired community volunteer and a member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. "Sometimes the best thing you can do is pause. Not quit. Not push. Just breathe. Rest. Listen. And wait for your clarity to return." — Lori Deschene, TinyBuddha.com. This quote spoke to me today as a reminder to focus on the good in your life.

The reason I find this quote so important to me is that it is easy to go down the rabbit hole. Sometimes you need to turn off the news, read a good book, take a walk in nature, and just rest. This can make a world of difference in your wellbeing journey and for your health.

So, think about what brings you clarity and enjoy reflecting on ways to simplify your life a bit.
