How To Say Goodbye to Worry!

Leave a comment

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair.  – Chinese Proverb

worry

We can always find something to worry about. But that’s misuse of our time and energy. What might we do instead?

practice just being

Thinking is doing. Worrying is doing. Why not just be instead? Here are some tips…

Watch our breath, deepen our breathing.

Notice the aromas (or odors) in the air.

Feel the tension in our bodies. Relax.

Smell a rose.

Truly watch something without making up words about it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM being more than doing…

You make the big time where you are!  – Frosty Westering

frosty

I met Brad Westering last week at Garfield High School. Somehow we ended up discussing a great man, Frosty, Brad’s dad. Frosty died last month and I realized while chatting with Brad that he was one of the most ‘alive’ people while he walked this planet. Read his obituary.

“Did you know one of the most remarkable American coaches died on Friday?

…and while he lived, oh boy, was he alive.”

the big time!

We all want to be happy. But happiness is not a destination, the wise say, it’s the journey itself. With his actions Frosty made it abundantly clear that if we can’t make the most of where we are then we’ll never make it. What sage advice from a sage like person!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM making it big right here!.

The Moment we’ve been waiting for just arrived!  – Namaste Now!

the moment

All our previous moments have led us to this one. Now. This really has been the moment we’ve always anticipated. Our future has arrived. What will we do with it?

In my blog yesterday I set high expectations for today’s quote. That’s what we do daily when we anticipate something in the future. Does it help or does it hurt? How can we be fully present to the most amazing moment of all time?

tough and lovely

We might be facing a tough moment. In which case let’s embrace it fully and experience it for what it is. Then let’s look around and inside us to affirm all that’s good and is working. Let’s be grateful for what this difficult moment will eventually blossom into…

If it’s a lovely moment we’re experiencing then what is it that makes it lovely?

If we’re indifferent about this moment then how can we make this and every moment glorious?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM making the most of the most anticipated and amazing moment of all time!!

How To Live A Miraculous Life!

Leave a comment

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.  – Albert Einstein

routine

Our routine ways cause us to live a very routine life. One that begs for excitement and new things. Which is why we yearn for vacations, fun times and want to buy new stuff. Our daily existence becomes very ordinary.

extraordinary

There is another way to live. One where each moment and each breath is brand new. One in which we never get bored. Where we welcome each moment. And where life is fully embraced because each moment truly is a miracle. Daily life then becomes extraordinary…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM living an extraordinary existence!

How To Bring About Joy!

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.  – Marianne Williamson

joy

We’re responsible for our own joy. We should be living joyful lives, daily. What’s stopping us?

now

To be joyful we must focus our attention on the present moment. And revel on everything that’s great and wonderful in our lives. That generally does the trick. We shouldn’t be spending much time on why things are going wrong…

Daily Affirmation: I AM joyful, now!

Why The Future Sucks!

Leave a comment

The present moment is a living rainbow. – Guy Finley

the future

The future sucks because it never delivers on its promises. It suckers us into believing that something most amazing will eventually happen and that it will be the thing we’ve always wanted. Inevitably we’re left wanting and desperate at the very doorsteps of this tyrant we call the future…

the present moment

Now, on the other hand, is beautiful. The most precious gifts are bestowed to us in the present moment. But we scarcely pay attention. This time that’s upon us is beautiful beyond comparison. It really is like the rainbow in all its colorful splendor rising from one end of infinity and descending into the other. Let’s pay more attention to it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM loving Now more than the Future!
