rethink your thinking

"How would you feel if someone started talking to you the way your inner voice does? After a very short period of time you would tell them to leave and never come back.  But when your inner voice continuously speaks up, you don't ever tell it to leave. No matter how much trouble it causes, you listen." 

Michael Singer

Git 'er done

No Regrets

Although we can do it anytime, the beginning of a new year feels like a natural time to reflect upon the past, even as we look forward to the future. It's a chance to leave behind yesterday's regrets, build on yesterday's successes, and look forward to a tomorrow full of potential. There's no reason to doubt that this year can be the best ever. Indeed, when a positive spirit ignites realistic goals, the resulting flame can fuel our efforts to accomplish great things. 

That doesn't mean we expect the next year to be perfect, of course. None of us knows exactly what is coming, but it's safe to assume that this year, like other years, will have its ups and downs. There will be moments of happiness and joy, along with moments of heartache and worry. Where can we find the courage and perspective to carry on throughout it all?

A helpful example may come from a sunflower. This hearty and brilliant plant seems to be able to spring up even in less-than-ideal soil. For some reason, adverse conditions are not able to stop the sunflower. In addition, sunflowers are noteworthy for another reason: their young blossoms always follow the sun. At daybreak they face east to catch the morning's first rays of light, and as the sun moves across the sky during the day, the blossoms follow it until it sets in the west. Then, overnight, they turn east again, ready to greet the next day's light and repeat the cycle. In this way, the sunflower receives the maximum amount of the sun's vital energy throughout the day.

We can begin this year determined to follow the sun, to look to the Light, to focus our best efforts on those things of greatest worth. In this way, even if something about our circumstances seems to put us at a disadvantage, even if conditions seem hostile, we can have sunshine in our soul today and every day.

Freezing Revelations - Paul Larson Original

do not drown within your own storm

You are going to be okay Breathe. You're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before. You've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you've survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can't break you. They're painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again.
This will pass.
I promise it will pass. 

Daniell Koepke

You are a hurricane of a woman,
remember to breathe every once in a while,
do not drown within your own storm.

The slate's clean

You hold the pen in this story called life.

Be still

"The soul usually knows what to do to heal itself.
The challenge is to silence the mind."

Purposeful

Think about your own passions

what do you enjoy doing so much that

life's troubles seemed to spin away

leaving only the dance of joy behind take a moment to consider what will lift your spirit and

put that into motion today.

Passion

 "Let yourself be

silently drawn by the stronger pull of

what you really love

let the beauty of what you love be what

you do.

  Rumi 

this is my bad, I need to work on this big time

Next time you're having a bad day.
Let these words inspire you right back to your happy place.

Was it a bad day? Or was it a bad five minutes that you milked all day?

laughter is a good thing, a good way to start the New Year!!!

I didn't make it to the gym today. 

That makes five years in a row.

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

The biggest lie I tell myself is "I don't need to write that down, 

I'll remember it."

Which way did they go?

A Husband and wife were driving through Louisiana. As they approached Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town.  

They argued back and forth, then they stopped for lunch. At the counter, the husband asked the blonde waitress, "before we order could you settle an argument for us?  Would you please pronounce where we are very slowly?"  

"She leaned over the counter and said " Burrr-gerrr-Kiiing."

What did the fish say when it swam into the cement? " dam"

It simply isn't time to bloom

"Plants move, although thieir movement is small and slow and gradual. But the roots burrow deep even when we cant see them. And the branches have everything they need for leaves even in the cold of winter. It simply isn't time for them to bloom." 

Emily Belle Freeman

Push away dark thoughts of defeat

by Emily P. Freeman

We have all quietly stepped over the invisible threshold, the old slipping away into last year and the new presenting herself before us, waiting.

In the turning of the year, no one is left behind.

And so we begin another year-long journey, bags packed whether we realize it or not.

If we don't pay attention, those self-packing bags tend to fill up heavy with burdens we don't need.

Today, take a peek into your bag.

Do you see shame right there on top?

Is comparison hiding in the zipped up pouch? Is fear rolled up tight and heavy on the bottom?

Recognize what is making your own pack feel heavy, and consider replacing those items today. There are lighter bundles to bring along.

Courage Laughter Creativity Love.

And so today we return to our work and we find things to be piled just as we left them.

Perhaps you are tentatively carrying a new energy as you face your tasks, but you suspect it won't last long. Push away dark thoughts of defeat.

You don't have to conquer a whole year at once. Start small. Celebrate progress.

Turn down the future's invitation to pull you into anxiety. Say no to the past's whispers dragging you into regret.

Refuse to rehearse your failures again. Remember you don't need those anymore.

self made

Look closely at the present you are constructing. It should look like the future you are dreaming. 

Happy New Years!!!!
