monday morning musing: letting go of what you are...

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

“When I let go of what I am,
I become what I might be.”
~ Lao Tzu

Do you see yourself as a hard worker?  Someone who is lazy?  An over-eater? An under-achiever?  A perfectionist?  Strong-willed?  Weak-willed?  We all have labels for ourselves -- sometimes they are buried quite deep!  All of these labels limit us, keep us defined in a way that doesn’t allow us to move forward in life.  If you need to label yourself, label yourself as compassionate, loving, flexible, and ready for what life is bringing next!

Feel Good Moment

What fabulous excitement and happiness!  May you feel the same happiness today...

feel good moment: water droplet

I love anything that shatters my paradigms (an overall idea of how things work).  The more we allow our paradigms to shift and change, the more possibilities we will see in our life.  Here is a fabulous video that shows us what we think is happening actually isn't.  It might seem like an insignificant paradigm shift, but any shift at all allows us to open to even more.  Here's to shifting!

Serious cute factor here!  (Perhaps a lesson in letting go as well...)

 

monday morning musing: an even easier way to feel good!

Just contract the muscles

Okay, to continue from last week's musing...it gets even better.  Did you know that simply contracting the muscles in your face that create a smile makes you feel better?  (And this is proven by research.  Read Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink.)  Try it...you feel better, don't you?  Seriously, smiling is powerful!

So, on that note, I have another Feel Good Moment to leave you amused!  In fact, I have two.  I found these two this past week.  One of them is 9 minutes -- worth all 9!  The second one is a bit raw, but the humor is my humor so I hope you enjoy it too.  Enjoy!

monday morning musing: I love me!

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Love yourself as your neighbor...

Do you really love yourself as much as you do others?  If you did, you would take great care of yourself.   Do you find time for everything... except yourself?  Here's your test:

Do you treat your body like the magnificent temple it is? 
Feeding it nourishing food, regular exercise, and plenty of rest?

Do you nourish your spirit with activities that move your soul?
Regularly connecting deeply and profoundly with wonderful you?

Do you give yourself time to laugh, play, and giggle?

Do you nourish your mind with rich images, beautiful words, and ideas that expand your horizons?

We always find time for everything that is important to us. 
Don't kid yourself, we all do.  Do you find time for you?

feel good moment

Okay, this is a long one...8 minutes and 14 seconds.  It is worth every minute. 
I dare you to watch the whole thing and challenge your own feelings for yourself. 
The world deserves to have you be in love with yourself! Enjoy!

monday morning musing: are you ready for a miracle?

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

"I don't believe in miracles.
Miracles are the impossible coming true.
I believe ALL things are possible."
~Unknown

Mmmm...yummy thought, eh?  On Thursday, I set off a flurry of discussion on my Facebook page when I posted: "Positioning myself for a miracle...what about you?"  Much discussion ensued, including what a miracles is, whether one must "position" themselves for it, and then this comment above. 

"All things are possible..."  Many of us (I hope) when asked directly, would say that we believe in miracles (or, that all things are possible).  But I think we lose sight of them in our own lives or, at least, I did.  What I was referring to on that day was a situation in my life that was causing a tremendous amount of fear for me.  I realized I didn't believe a miracle would happen and I was scared.  When I "positioned" myself, I released my fear and I put myself in God's/Universe' hands.  I asked for help and let go.  I now believe ALL things are possible -- even for me in an area in which I have fear.  Where in your life do you need a miracle?  Do you believe it will happen for you?

Here are some good, old-fashioned miracles to inspire you! 
Yep, a little hard work, but we can all agree miracles are here, too! Enjoy!

monday morning musing: it is time to let go

 

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

It is time to let go...

What do you need to release in order to fully move on with your life?  We often hold onto something so tenaciously, it keeps us from being able to grab onto something new. BUT “God can't give you anything new until you let go of the old.” (Hazelden) What is holding you back right now?  Another way of looking at that is why do you think you are not yet living the life of your dreams?  Somewhere in that reason is a belief about yourself that is keeping you from living more fully: “I am not good enough.”  “I don’t have enough money.”  “I am not likeable.”  “I can’t learn anything new.”  When I hear these phrases, I generally chime in with “blah, blah, blah”!  Seriously, let it go!  You are amazing, you are completely unique and YOU are capable of anything...don’t think so?  Check out next week’s mmm!

  What a powerful video!  Just watch and imagine what you could do if you truly let go...no longer stopping yourself (which is what we do when we have limiting beliefs...)  Enjoy!

monday morning musing: letting go

"God can't give you anything new until you let go of the old."

~ Hazelden

Are you holding onto something it is time to release?  Perhaps a relationship, a job, where you live?  It could also be a habit, thought pattern, a way of thinking of yourself.  If you are desiring something new for yourself, and waiting for it to happen, you probably need to let go of something else first.

When working with clients (and myself, I might add), I am amused by how attached we are to the "old way" even when it is uncomfortable and keeping us mighty stuck.  We cling to our old beliefs and old ways.  Take a few deep breaths, relax, let your palms open.  Let go of the old way and allow the Universe to give you the new...
