SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - LOSER?

Fair, not fair, fair share…
Seriously toxic concepts when it comes to human experience.
Who could have been cruel enough to feed these no-win concepts to tiny growing beings?
Because of course, it is at those young, impressionable moments when we're fed this hogwash.
Why hogwash?  Think about it…
How often does this formula actually pan out - and if it doesn't what does it imply about you?

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

DROP THESE JUDGEMENTS!
Fair…
Why me?
Give yourself permission to do what you can to lower stress:
  Deep breathing…
  Find laughs…
  Ask for help…
  Create beauty…
  Look for the light…
  Find the positive 'take away' - the learning.

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - GET YOUR MAGIC ON!

All those visual and auditory tokens - the chants, the prayers, the amulets - they are reminders of our power, our connectedness to others, to traditions, to humanity…
To the magic inherent in all of us if we just let ourselves tap into it!

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS   
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
WHERE'S YOUR MAGIC?

Identify your touchstones…
Are they auditory? (Chants, prayers, songs, rhythms)?
Kinesthetic? (Repetitive movements, dance)?
Visual (jewelry, stones, shrines, flags)?

HOW STRONG IS YOUR INTENTION?
Try this experiment:
Consciously state your emotional, physical goal.
Say to yourself as you look at your touchstone, put it on, touch it, sing it…
"My intention is_________"
"This is to remind of __________"
"When I look at this I will remember_______"
Here are some choices to fill in those blanks:
    Healing
    Strength
    Awareness
    Love
    Kindness

A MOMENT IN TIME…

Once upon a time a woman was on her way to work and BOOM! 
Someone ran a red light and took off the front of her car.

WHOA!
The first thing that went through her mind with that intense impact was:

"OMG I had that awful fight with my brother last night and if I die now that moment will stay  with him forever…"



Needless to say it was a major wake-up call about living each day as it if just might be the last…



This past week we learned of two deaths that occurred almost simultaneously - one of a woman reaching the 100 year old mark and another of an 18 year old boy…

And then the shocking loss of 8 lives in the Amtrak train crash on Tuesday May 12.

What do ya say?

What does living each day as if it could be your last mean for you?
