monday morning musing: take credit for your life

 

MUSE UPON THIS:

You created your life.  

It is up to you to take credit for the best parts!

Two weeks ago, I encouraged you to take responsiblity for the parts of your life you didn't like and commit to making changes.  There is a corollary to this thought -- you also get to take credit for what you DO like; for what IS going well.  You have done well in many areas.  It might be your relationship with your mom, your husband or your best friend.  You might have a home you feel good in or good health or a steady paycheck.  You might be great at throwing a party or content by yourself.  Chances are you don't take the time to even look at what you do well much less pat yourself on your back about it.  In fact, there is an even greater chance that not only do you not see what you do well, but even when it is pointed out to you, you brush it off as no big deal.  Let it be a big deal.  Honor what you do well.  In fact, can you do me a favor?  I want you to tell me what you do well.  Would you leave a comment on this post and let me know what you do well?  Not sure?  Ask those closest to you.  They know and it is about time you know as well.

think of what a precious privilege it is
to be alive:  to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
~ Marcus Aurelius

Thanksgiving is simply my favorite holiday of the entire year.  Nothing tops an entire holiday focused on expressing our gratitude for our harvest.  I know many of us have struggled this year, nevertheless we have much to be grateful for.  My good friend, Lora Sasiela, the fabulous financial coach from www.financiallysmitten.com, sent me this packet of gratitude.  She calls it the "Great-Fullness Anthology".  She invited me to share it with all of you and I do so with great love and gratitude for all of you!  I know reading it gave me an enormous shift into love and a great appreciation for my life.  May it do the same for you.  Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!

Join me this week on Facebook and Twitter as I spend the week sharing all my quotes, YouTube videos, and other gratitudes!  THEN, starting next week becomes the GREAT NEW YEAR'S COUNTDOWN!  Let me inspire you to make 2012 amazing!

So, today I want to share with you my favorite all-time Feel Good Moments on gratitude. 
May you experience the joy and peace that gratitude brings this holiday season.

What a powerful video!  A part of me felt sad I needed this reminder.  Then I remembered, each day I get another chance.

Directions for viewing: 

1. Take three deep breaths to relax a bit into the moment.  Feel long in the spine and let your heart open.
2. As you watch, keep breathing and fully hear and feel these powerful words.
3. Watch the entire video.  The end has some powerful thoughts for you!

 

Now, gratitude like you have never seen it.  (Can you get beyond your animal instincts to feel this love?)

Now, for the original Grati-Dudes dance. (Stay tuned for Zack's version!)

 

And now, for an Erdman-Luntz family favorite, Zack's Happy Dance. (Zack is my son. He will be 8 years old on Thanksgiving day. He was 5 in this video.)

Step Five:
Feel grateful...

Living the life of your dreams must come from love and excitement, not fear and dread. If you focus on how much you cannot stand your current life, you will stay stuck.  You need to focus on all that is wonderful in your life right now.  Creating something better comes from:  I LOVE my life AND I am ready for an even MORE wonderful life!  This part is absolutely essential!  (For a fabulous nudge on who to do this really well, watch this week's Feel Good Moment!)

~Marcus Aurelius
 

We often forget, don't we?  Just being alive, breathing, thinking, loving, it is all a gift.  This Thanksgiving, and everyday thereafter, be sure to pause and remember the amazing gift life is.

"Write it in your heart that every day is the best day in the year."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Really when we are able to look up from the details and challenges of our life, we know this is true.  First, we have much to be grateful for and, second, any of our challenges are leading us to be or do more, calling us to a higher, more conscious way of being.  Remember, the only thing you need to change today to have this perspective is your focus.  Are you focusing on what is frustrating you?  Or what you are grateful for?  Let me end with another beautiful quote to further inspire you and for sure watch the incredibly powerful feel good moment for today:

"When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege it is
to be alive; to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
~ Marcus Aruelius

Look for the good.  You will be amazed.

It is everywhere, really!  And the more you see it, the more you will see it.  I had one of those weeks recently.  The kids were sick, I was tired, I didn't feel I had time (or energy!) to prepare wholesome, nourishing meals, my yoga practice was haphazard at best.  I know you can all relate.  We have all been there at some point.  I was amused when I became aware of my thoughts, I believe it was Thursday.  I realized I was noticing the challenges, not the good.  There is so much to be grateful for in our lives...all around us.  The roof over our head, the food in our cupboards, the life in our family, the love in our hearts...do I need to go on?  Look for the good.  You will be amazed!
