Summer + goals?

July 27, 2012

Happy Friday!

           

This may seem a bit out of season in July, but today’s message is a suggestion to consider some goals.  So, in keeping with this season of wearing lighter clothes, eating lighter foods, the focus in on “goals – light.”  

 So often when we think about setting goals it seems that our attention goes to things we think we should do, things that are good for us; sort of like taking medicine.  We know it’s good for us, but the experience is not a bit of fun.   

This week consider putting your time energy on doing something that sounds like fun, something new - something that sparks your interest, gets you curious.   Identify activities, hobbies you would like to engage in just for the experience of it, for what you would learn, or the challenge it would give, or novelty of it, or camaraderie you would have, or the good feeling you would get by helping someone else.

Some of what you identify could be done immediately…the walk on the beach….the phone call….listening to music.    See if you can also identify some longer term goals….taking a class….making something….having a party….volunteering.   See what surfaces as you ask yourself, “What do I want to do next?”

Stay curious,

Judy

Appreciate Growth

July 20, 2012

Happy Friday!

            This morning’s message is another one to take with you as you go through your week.   See what emerges as you pay attention to the questions.  

            Give yourself some time to reflect on your growth, your learning.   Acknowledge yourself  for those times when you have made  conscious choices   in harmony with what you want to create;  when you have changed something – a thought – a behavior because you have grown, were able to tap into  greater insight, recognized  and choose  a bigger, more grounded perspective.  

            Whatever the outcome of the action you took, you made a stand for yourself.   You lived more consciously.  Appreciate that.

            What do you notice about making conscious, healthy choices?  What are the options, what do you want and what will serve you best? 

-        When to speak up……………………When to be silent

-        When to trust…………………………. When to question

-        When to hold on………………………When to let go

-        When to be strong……………………When to be supported

It’s all part of the ongoing dance.  Enjoy all of it, pay attention, adjust, learn new steps, listen, and give yourself a pat on the back for staying with it and doing your best in every moment.

Better ‘n Better,

Judy

What to Create?

July 13, 2012

What do you want to create?   Where do you want to put your energy, attention, time, resources, talent?   What is calling to you?   What are you curious about?  What energizes you?  What is satisfying, worthwhile? 

These are questions we answer at times of change as we set our course.   They are also questions we can reflect on more often, to check in, to re-balance, and to align actions with our vision.

Take some time to consider what you are creating in various areas of your life. 

For example: 

            Your home:  does it serve you in the way you want?   Does it support you, give you      comfort, refuge?  

            Your self-care:  are you taking good care of your body?  Getting exercise?  Enough             sleep?  Taking time to look your best? 

These areas are just a start.   Pay attention to what would make your life even better, more joyful, more interesting, and more satisfying.

 If you want some guidance about this, get in touch.   I have some tools and ideas that can help!

Take care,

Judy

Summertime

July 6, 2012

Each season has its flavor.   Right now the seasoning is hot!   

The message will be brief.   The question is, “What is this the perfect time for?”

This may be the perfect time to learn about pacing yourself, about taking care of yourself, about slowing down, about simplifying.

What is speaking to you?  

Take care,

Judy
