SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - AWFULIZING

Fact:  If we put a border of negative feeling around a state of being we, by definition, increase our suffering.

If we can, instead, accept that life brings many different moments of experience and try to find those special 'coloring books' in any given moment, we can actually help ourselves heal!

Because most of us have learned to awful-ize our challenging moments and had a lot of practice doing this, changing our default position takes some practice.

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS           

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

CHANGING YOUR DEFAULT FROM AWFULIZING TO NOURISHING

What can you create, find, explore, discover, that can make the moment count?

Something that nourishes your soul…

Something you've never had time for…

This is a prime time to engage your creative imagination!

It can be as simple as something beautiful to stare at and get lost in…

Or as complex as planning for the rest of your life…

No matter what happens - and no matter how counter-intuitive it seems - you want to feel enriched!

AWFULIZING... OR THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER BEES!

"OMG!," she gasped, "I am so upset!  I just had a phone call from my father warning me about the killer bees that are coming my way!"

OK, she lived in South Carolina and those bees were in Arizona, but hey, they could get there… right?

Or how about this one:

"My husband got home late last night… I just know he is cheating on me!"

All right, it does happen, but really, one night?  

And then there's my favorite:

"I just know," she insisted, "the bomb is about to drop…"

Well, again, maybe, but she had been insisting for twenty years…

You get the drift with all of this, right?

Bad things do happen sooner or later, but, seriously, killer bees?

What do ya say?  

Do you have a tendency to awful-ize?

AWFUL-IZING

Check this out:  It's really eye opening, as things often are when we see someone else do them!

This guy was complaining - moaning and groaning - about how awful things in his life were…

True he wasn't fired - which is what he had been anticipating, and he did get a promotion - more money and all that…

BUT it wasn't the perfect job, it wasn't a ton of money, and oh, yeah, his wife was being a jerk and not giving him what he wanted…

"Actually," he informed me "I never really get what I want!"

What do ya think?

Is it possible that how we look at things actually determines how we see them?

You know what I'm saying, right?
