GO FOR IT!

Goals and achieving them…

What do you want?

         WHY?

What do ya say?

Think about it...

Is your 'why' strong enough to get you there?

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - RELEASE

We know all about forgiving others… it's an ongoing theme in our cultures, but…

How often are we reminded to forgive ourselves?

How many times have you heard someone say:

'I should have known better…

        Then to trust that person

        Then to go there

        Then to do that

We fault ourselves for our imperfections and then hold onto the inner scolding, perhaps in the distorted belief that if we keep reminding ourselves, we'll never do it again?

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

What horrible mistakes have you actually made?

How have you dealt with them?

What do you need to do to let go?

LET IT GO!

Them and their garbage…

You and yours!

Then … fix it!

Make amends - especially to yourself!

What do ya say?

It's not easy, right?

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - IT'S ABOUT CHOICE!

Brainwashing and old hypnotic beliefs can be truly toxic. 

You know this, right?

Going forward, it's up to you…

What do you want to feel?

Good or bad?

How do you want to live?

Victim or celebrant?

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

Think about the beliefs and attitudes that govern your life.

Can you make a list?

Where and when did you learn them?

Do they really make sense to you now?

Want to change them?  Spin that dial!

GETTING IT DONE: RITUAL OR CHORE?

"I hate cleaning my place!" they said. 

"It's such a hassle!  And it isn't like you can do it once and never again!  No!  You have to keep doing it, again and again!"

"I love cleaning my place!" they said. 

You go into an altered space - no thinking, no crises, no difficult decisions…just a simple, repetitive motion and easy breathing… like a meditation!"

Hmmm…

The activity is the same, right?

The feeling totally different!

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - NOW OR THEN?

Remember all those childhood bedtime stories about planning for the future?  

The Grasshopper and the Ants? http://read.gov/aesop/052.html   

The Three Little Pigs?  https://americanliterature.com/childrens-stories/the-three-little-pigs

How did you react way back then when your heard these fables? 

Did they teach you a valuable lession, or scare you about the future? 

Were you later confused by all the advice about living in the present?

How do you put these two mandates together and make sense for your own life?

CAN YOU FIND YOUR OWN BALANCE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN?

This is an interesting one to play with…

To find your own balance think about some of the people you know who have done this well:

Maybe an elderly person who took care of themselves re: housing, health issues etc.

Maybe a friend or relative who did good planning in relationships with others.

Then maybe think about some of the people you know who did not find a good balance.  What can you learn from their stories?

Now think about your own life.  Where is your balance right now?

THE WRITING ON THE WALL

Can you see it?

Do you pay attention?

Adjust accordingly?

Or are you one of those 'cover your eyes, ears and mouth' folks who try to hold their breath until it's all over?

What do ya say?

Which way works best for you?
