Tumbled and tossed and beautiful

No One is Better than you

7/29/2020

 
Imagine if we were all taught at a young age that "no one is better than you are - and you are no better than anyone else".  Wow - such a  statement (coming from someone who believes them) could teach both self worth and humility in one simple sentence.

Color Wheel

7/27/2020

 
Wouldn't it be great if they taught the color wheel in school:  inner ring in kinder-garden, middle ring in middle school and outer ring in high school.  If we could all name our feelings, it would be so much easier to understand our emotions and respond rather than react - feel rather than suppress.

Prayer to Source

7/26/2020

 
I am kind
I am considerate
I am loving
I am enough as I am.
​
Dear Source,
 Thank you for this new day, it’s beauty and light.
Today I will try to leave yesterday behind to focus on today - this minute - here and now. 
Today I will nurture the maturing woman within and only then will I reach out.  I will remember to spend time caring for myself today. 

Thank you for reminding me that I am loved and that I needed to experience everything in my past to get where I am going.
Thank you for teaching me that no one is better than me - and that I'm no better than anyone else.  Also, that I am fundamentally good, fundamentally whole and worthy.

  Today I am responsible for my efforts, not the outcome of my efforts.  I will do the best I can with what I have. 
Remind me often that I am an actor, not the director:
I need not carry the weight of the world on my shoulders because I don't control what happens. 
When I am acting tough and strong - I am  scared: remind me that it takes courage to be vulnerable and soft.
I trust my inner voice and know that only by following it will I be at peace.  I will endeavor to stop being a human doing and rest.
My unrelenting standards are hurting me and those I love, and there is no such thing as perfection.  Please remind me often to live in the gray - to go easier - and to be of service where I can.
Remind me often to laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously. 
Thank you for reminding me how fortunate I am to have a fully functioning body and fully functioning organs.

I accept that some things will get worse before they get better.
Remind me to sit with my negative feelings and experience them:  stuffing them until there is no room left inside is so much worse worse.
”What am I feeling?"  "Is there a story I am telling myself that is creating these feelings or making it worse?"
May those I love be happy, safe, healthy and at peace.
May I be safe, healthy, at peace and unafraid to be happy.

What's inside?

7/25/2020

Imagine you are holding a cup of coffee and then someone bumps into you and you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!"
Wrong answer. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.  Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.  Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
So, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out.
We have to ask ourselves “what's in my cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?  Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?"
Life provides the cup, you choose what's in it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Have more fun

Chill out - Be Easier - Have more fun
When you are working so hard to find your path – you are putting up resistance to finding it.
If you think “I should be doing something different” say to yourself: “I’m doing fine – I’m on my path – everything is coming to me.  Everything is unfolding just as it should be for me.”

Reminders

7/24/2020

 
I want to remind myself often that I am human, that I make mistakes - and that's okay. This list will continue to grow as I add things I want to keep handy for review.

It's important to be vulnerable
to live in my truth
to show up as I am
​and own my story.
When hurt, its easy to use the vulnerability of people I love against them.  
​If I behave out of line, admit it quickly and emphatically. 
​To experience joy I need to practice:
gratitude
empathy
trust
inclusivity 
diversity
equity
​tolerance and more
Remember to ask only for what I need and offer what I can.
Is my stuff a scab or a scar?​  If it's a scab - I need to work on it to allow it to heal.  Don't let the scabs pile up.
​Self Care involves
doing a joyful thing just for the hell of it!
Have I been taking time daily for self care?
Mindfulness is active attention to the present,
observing thoughts and feelings without judgement.  Am I living in the moment?
When someone triggers me emotionally, ride the wave!
Sit quietly.
What am I feeling?  Come back to the present!
What's the story I'm telling yourself?
