Good Morning,

Take a moment to consider your individuality. We all have our own story. Each of us has a unique blend of experiences, talents, insights, quirks. Your voice, your perspective is one of a kind. What you choose to think and do comes from your discernment of what matters and what you want. These are your choices to make.

No one else knows what is appropriate for you-but you do. You always know in the moment what is best for you.[1]

This seems like a worthwhile reminder. We operate in an environment that presents many options, many points of view. We are offered lots of visions that seem attractive.

What is really in your best interests? What really fulfills and sustains you? What is really important to you?

Having clarity and access to your essence and inner wisdom can help in the choosing.

Your life, your work, your call,

Good Morning,

Today I am curious about what stops you. What gets in the way of you moving forward toward what you want?

Some possibilities come to mind:

Overwhelm….too much other stuff going on, too many distractions, where to start

Doubt….it will never work, lack of confidence

Lack of clarity….uncertainty, lack of focus

Habit…easier to stay with what is known

Fear….it’s the unknown!

Any of these sound familiar – or – related to your road blocks?

The task I am suggesting it to create awareness of where you stop, observe the thoughts. Is there another way to look at this? Play with some flexible thinking and notice what surfaces.

Lots of ways to get there,

Judy

Good Morning,

Today’s message is in the category of: Use Your Wisdom! We’ve been around long enough to have some self knowledge, and hopefully reading the messages each week encourages more reflection and awareness building.

This morning I’m suggesting that you take some time to consider:

What are the conditions that allow me to be at my best?

When am I doing my best? Being my most authentic? Feeling present?

Notice the conditions that support you being your best. What choices have you made to create this?

What might come up are things like: good self care practices (rest, eating well, exercising)….managing thoughts (gremlin busting, pivoting, choosing perspectives)…consciously choosing (actions aligned with values, clarity of vision)….balance (time management, planning ahead/being spontaneous, time alone/being with others).

What else? What is present for you? What supports your well being? What drains your well being? How does it help you to know these things?

I have some ideas – would be curious to hear what you come up with!

From my list: plenty of sleep, coffee, quiet time, laughs,

Good Morning,

This morning I’d like to share with you some words I read that are worth sitting with:

God’s will for me is perfect happiness.[1]

How great that those words were waiting for me when I had been thinking that the message today was to be something about joyfulness, allowing happiness.

My suggestion today is to take in these words. Notice what surfaces….the yes buts, the fears, the doubts. What takes away joyfulness? Worry? Judgment? Comparison?

One of the many advantages of aging is that we get more experienced in trusting ourselves, in recognizing what is really important and in deciding where to put our attention. This week pay attention to your happiness. Expect to feel happy, notice when you aren’t and shift something… a thought… a perspective… stand up or sit down… make a face…sing a song… let go… Make room for joy.

Ha!

Good Morning,

Every day we start anew. Every day we make choices about where to put our time and energy, how to interpret/be with events, people, circumstances in our lives. Even when we feel stuck in a pattern, in a rut, trapped by past choices we do have options. We always can start anew, wherever we find ourselves. We can always be aware of our thought and choose a better thought.

To remind myself of this I turned to Power vs Force [1] where there is a listing of contrasting pairs of qualities which can help increase awareness of attitudes and thoughts that operate in relationships and all life circumstances. It helps to see the powerful, life affirming patterns contrasted with weak, negative patterns.

Here are some examples of the contrasting patterns:

Appreciative......Envious Balanced............Extreme

Being.................Having Choosing to.......Having to

Generous...........Petty Leading.............Coercing

Optimistic........Pessimistic Serving.............Ambitious

This week as you go about your celebrations, activities, visiting, relaxing take with you the awareness of choosing your thought, where you are coming from. Strive for the more powerful, positive attitude. You get to choose, again and again, every day, in every moment.

Coming to you from the left side of the list,

Judy
