I went to grab cash this morning, and the ATM ate my card. I think it was God, the universe checking to see if I have learned anything, if my mindset has shifted.

I am proud to say my mind has shifted, normally in a situation like this, the old version of me would have been in a puddle of tears. Honestly, I started to tear up a little, felt the anxiety welling up in my chest.

I reminded myself, everything happens for my highest good, took a deep breath, and asked God for help. Once I asked for help, my calm mind returned, understanding it will all get figured out.

That shift in my mind, choosing clarity over chaos. You cannot see your reflection in boiling water, so to keep my rational mind, helped me to understand there’s a solution, it will all work out, clarity! I can always call the bank and get another card.

Faith in God, has changed my life from chaos to peace, he is always there! What would have ruined my whole day in the past was a bump in the road today. My awareness helped me cut off my anxiety response before it snowballed. I feel very proud of myself! Reminding me the choice between chaos and peace, starts and ends with me, I chose peace. Amen!
