Good Morning,

Today I am going to ask you some questions and your task is not to answer them. Intrigued?

In the interest of allowing something different, seeing beyond the usual pattern, to foster growth, to step out of the default; be open to feeling, images, examples, insights; let go of the how, the answer your mind wants to supply – don’t rush to find the answer. Let answers/insights emerge, surface, connect, appear.

Consider where you tend to get stuck. Here are some places to look….

- Where does fear hold me back?

- Where do I feel caught in a sense of dullness, sameness?

- When do I feel powerless, unable to stand up for myself?

Notice what comes up as you consider these – or others around places where you tend to get stuck. Without judging or excusing, just notice.

This time of life could be an opportunity for you to open yourself up to growth. Big questions like these and what comes up around them could point you in a direction that would expand your you-ness. Still intrigued? I am.

Make the most of this stage,

Judy

Good Morning,

On this sunny beautiful fall day I am asking you to take some time and consider stress. Hopefully this message is coming to you at a time when you are relaxed, at ease, able to reflect, relatively stress free. I say hopefully, recognizing that much of the time we are experiencing some level of stress which can arise from a variety of areas – work, relationships, health, finances, change, the list goes on.

The questions for you today are these: What do you recognize as stressors in your life? How do you manage stress? When under stress - what changes for you? Who do you become? What do you let go of, forget, or neglect?

Handy stuff to know - awareness can help with staying mindful. Staying mindful, grounded, present is a good thing….right?

Choose well-ness,

Judy

Good Morning,

At any given moment, if we could step away from our current circumstances and come from the perspective of the observer, we could notice that where ever we are in this moment – it is all part of a journey. We are in process. We are always engaged in transition, movement. Our lives are made up of constant ebb and flow; holding on, letting go; growing something; changing; thoughts come and go; attention shifts; things, activities, projects become important, fade in importance; our bodies grow, mature, strengthen, weaken.

This morning I ask that you point your attention here, to the nature of the journey you are on. Where are you on your path? What challenges are here? What is there to learn? What is there to savor? What keeps you awake, aware, alert as you navigate this place? What supports you here?

Life on the river,

Judy

Good Morning,

Actually I am at my desk on the eve of Friday morning. As you are reading this I am on my way to an in-service – or – at the event. Wanting to get up and out the door in the morning, I went to my “archives” and found a message that spoke to me. It’s tweaked a bit, and I hope you find something in it to consider as you go through your week.

~

When you find a message resonating with you I suspect it is because it reminds you of something you already know. Somehow we know that our lives are better; we feel more alive, aligned; able to experience and appreciate all that life offers when we come from the abundance perspective, that place of wholeness.

We know this, and yet we still benefit from reminders. Each day we encounter a new mix of variables. We have to pay attention. Old habits, long-established views have a way of asserting themselves into our thoughts and they can be hard to recognize at times.

Pointing out contrast is a way to help us discern differences. When we are aware, it is easier for us to make a better choice, to choose the thought that is more aligned with what we want to create, one that is in keeping with our bigger, more enlightened self. And, the more we practice asking ourselves these questions (What is the abundance perspective here?), the more likely we are to be able to shift to that more positive, affirming, abundant way of thinking, feeling, being and then to take action that is congruent with our higher purpose, our greatest good. This is creating a new normal.

To try this out, to challenge some thoughts and beliefs around money, consider the contrast below from Creating Money: Keys to Abundance.*

Traditional Money Mindset - Belief in scarcity/operating from a sense of lack (not enough clients, time, money, love) -Viewing others as the source of your abundance -Focusing only on the goal

Abundance Mindset - Belief in abundance and trusting your ability to create abundance -Recognizing the true source of your abundance -Finding joy in the process

Notice the contrast, and be in choice,

Judy
