Monday Morning Musing: It really and truly is all about you

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

It really is all about you.

Thought I would go a little controversial today...make you think.  Whenever I teach this idea when I am speaking, I always get push-back and I LOVE it!  Push-back means your listening, you are awake, and you are thinking.  So, think about this one.  The most important thing you can do is continue helping yourself feel good on a deep, soulful level. 

I know many of you are thinking, "It's all about helping others" and, you're right, to a point.  Follow me here.  What happens when you help someone you really don't want to help?  Whenever we do anything we truly don't want to do we resent it deep down (or perhaps not so deep down!) and that resentment can come out in some really weird, and hurtful, ways.

What happens when you feel good?  Think about it. You are kinder, more compassionate.  You more readily help people from a place of true desire to help and then helping another becomes a gift to both the other person and you.

monday morning musing and feel good moment: the power of your words

 

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

"The words we say do matter and they resonate powerfully within our bodies.”
~ Gormukh Kaur Khalsa 

Want an easy pick-me-up?  Watch your words.  Speak in a way that only builds.  Our words are powerful.  They effect how others feel in our presence, leaving a residue.  They effect what we are able to attract in our life.  They effect our physiology.  Yes, that's right.  Your cells are affected by the words we use.  Just check out this video for your "proof" (if you needed it!)  Be sure to watch this entire video.  You can only appreciate its message by watching the whole thing. And then pay attention.  Notice what you way and how you say it.  Notice how it leaves you feeling.

So, one class I taught decided to create a list of words they liked.  Here is the list they came up with:   “Peace, love, joy, bliss, beauty, compassion, gratitude, beautiful, grace, yes, awesome, fabulous, inspire, believe, faith, trust, appreciate, welcome, enthusiasm, dream.”  Any others?

• Books by Dr. Masaru Emoto (simply breathtaking photography!)

Feel Good Moment

For this week, you are already here!

monday morning musing: just feel good

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Plus One:
Feel Good -- Awaken to YOUR Joy!

This one is so simplistic that we not only dismiss it, we usually overlook it entirely.  Let’s look at it at the most simplistic level, how nutritious is your snack when you are tired, exhausted and stressed?  How nutritious is your snack when you are well-rested?  Now look at the bigger picture, if you have just spent an amazing evening with your best friend, laughing and filling yourself up, are you more likely to take an action step toward living your dream?  YES!!  There is a VERY good reason I wrote my book (Awaken to Joy) on the topic I did!  My entire book is about Feeling Good!  It is looking at all the unconscious ways we sabotage feeling good for ourselves from what we watch on tv, the people we hang out with, the food we eat.  And THEN what can you do to feel good?  Such as communicate from your heart, practice gratitude, spend time with those who inspire us.  This is POWERFUL work!  When you feel good you make GREAT decisions.  It really is that simple.

Let's Recap (This is the "Plus One" of the series: How to Manifest Your Extraordinary Life so your life isn't exactly the same in Five Years.  Here are the five steps I already covered!):

• Step One: Know what you want
• Step Two: Ya Gotta Believe! 
• Step Three: Take Action
• Step Four: Surrender and have faith
• Step Five:  Feeling Grateful
• Plus One:  Feel Good! Awaken to YOUR Joy!
  

Want to do this program directly with me?  I just released a NEW, powerful, one-one-one program called The Art of Manifesting Your Dreams.  I have taught it to groups with amazing success for years, now you can do it directly with me!  Are you ready to live YOUR Extraordinary Life?

Sometimes a song says it all!  Enjoy!

feel good moment: I feel good!

There is a reason this song is STILL around! :-)

feel good moment: you are amazing!

This song was the inspiration for this week's musing.  What a powerful message we all need to hear!  (There is a reason it has 97 million views!)  I have been singing it all around the house, letting my husband and children hear the message.  I even whisper it to my children when they are sleeping.  (You get direct access to their subconscious brain that way!)

 

monday morning musing: the easiest upliftment ever

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Just THINK about smiling...

So, if you have been following the musings for the past couple weeks, I have been reflecting on the power of a smile.  Just smiling or even contracting the muscles in your face will uplift you.

But it gets even BETTER, just bringing on the feeling of a smile makes you feel better.  While I am unaware of any research here, try it.  Pretend you are about to smile.  Feel better?  This smiling is some powerful stuff! 

(This is not my idea -- it is a lovely meditation from Lilias Folan.  Read more here.)

Are you smiling yet?  Do you need a reason?  Do it!  If you need some help, check out today's Feel Good Moment.  Serious cute factor.  Dare you to watch and NOT feel like you are about to smile! :-)  Enjoy!

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

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

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!

feel good moment

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: easy way to feel good!

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Smile!

Yep, that's it.  So simple and so powerful.  Did you know smiling boosts your immune system, lowers high blood pressure, and releases serotonin, endorphins and natural pain killers? (I knew laughter did.  I wrote about it here.  Didn't realize a simple smile could do the same!  Amazing!)  According to research done by the British Dental Health Foundation, smiling gives you the same level of stimilation as eating 2,000 chocolate bars!  (Love that one!)  You know, I must admit I did not check my sources on this one.  Frankly, I don’t care if this is “scientifically proven”.  Here’s where anecdotal evidence serves me perfectly well.  I feel better when I smile...don’t you? 

So, here's your assignment, smile, right now.  I have a few Feel Good moments to help you with that if your smile isn't easily forthcoming.  Then, pass it on.  Smile at someone, anyone.  My favorite is to simply smile at anyone and everyone, especially drivers driving by.  My smile almost always makes them smile and I know I have uplifted their day.

This humor completely cracks me up.  It is admittedly quite silly.  I hope it gies you a smile.  (There are more funny FGSs in the Related post section if you need more!) Enjoy!

feel good moment: amazing catch

I think what inspired me most about this video is the thinking outside the box.  What he did was perfectly legal, yet also completely unorthodox.
