Reinvention

“We must reinvent a future free of blinders so that we can choose from real options.” David Suzuki

Don’t like what you see in the mirror? Reinvent yourself! You don’t have to do it over night. If you work on it a little at a time, others will begin to see the new you and more importantly accept the new you. However, you must look at the whole you. All of us have blind spots that hold us back. Set yourself to discover what those are whether through journals, meditations, or another person’s feedback. Once you have the truth of “you” - you can be anyone you want to be.

Affirmation – Say: “I am going to reinvent myself with all the options the world has to offer.”

Happy Valentine’s Day

Today think of those that you love and who love you. Don't pay attention to the wife who got flowers at the office today. That is not what Valentines should be about. There is so much love in the world and I know you experience from someone...you might now know this person, yet, but they are out there. In the meantime, think about the importance people in your life and fill your heart.

Acknowledge anger and use it wisely

It's ok to be angry...as a matter of fact - it's important to live out our anger. It can be a motivator, a balance maker, and even a peace maker. Anger helps us define our values and set boundaries. It's how we behave in our anger that can be harmful. Turn it inward and it can become depression - which can create a pain inside us that no one sees. Turn it outward with the purpose if hurting and it becomes destructive. Use your anger wisely to help you see how to make things better with yourself, others and the world.

Small steps - add up...

Small steps add up to giant moment.  Ever think about the mountains on our beautiful earth???  They are there because of small movement over time.  OK - I get it - You want it and you want it NOW!  Impatientence can lead to disaster.  How many time have you needed in NOW and didn't get it only to survive?  And maybe even thrive.  Think of your small steps as moment toward that mountain of success.

I am worry free

Worry is a vampire that drains you of your right to be at peace. Worry makes you helpless, creates confusion and can blind you to the truth and power of the moment. Write down what is worrying you now. Put the paper to a window that has sun. Everyone knows that when a vampire is exposed to the sun, it burns and turns to ash never to harm you again.

Use your wisdom

Experience gives us a lot!  Draw from it.  Experience is your wisdom.  You are so much smarter than you give yourself credit for having.   Next time you find yourself saying that you can't - STOP - think of a time you though you couldn't and you did.  That's wisdom.  Maybe you had to learn a new way or try something different.  You've succeeded before you can do it again.  Through your wisdom.

Don't Try to Be Perfect - Just Be Excellent

"Perfect" is the ultimate phrase. But trying to attain perfection can cause stress, hinder efficiency, and create unnecessary conflicts with the people around you.   Shoot for excellence - meditate to calm youself and say that you are doing the best that you can do!

Peace

We can have peace. It's sometimes simple; such as a taking a few breathes. When we are calm and rational we make better decisions. Reboot - lets close our eyes and slowly count to ten. Do you feel yourself becoming calmer? Now, close your eyes and take a few deep breathes. This will take toxins out of our body. Have a peaceful day.

Opportunity Is For You and Me

Opportunities are everywhere. It's ok that we take part. As there are many who get and take advantage of opportunities, we can do the same. We do not have to sit by while others do what we want to do. We can be active participants.
