From frazzled to a light heart

I’ve already put in a full day and it’s only just past noon. I’m feeling overworked, my head is spinning up, and I need to get a grip.
And then I read this, above.
Oh.
Now I see my same day in this way:
I feel really great about having the day’s necessary work done already. I can create a different pace for my afternoon. I’ll begin with giving myself a gentle pause.
Yep. The Universe has my back. I’m glad for the reminder today.
In what way can you actively realize this for yourself, in this moment?
Here’s to happy
Posted on June 30, 2021 1 Comment
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
John Lennon
Joy is our birthright.
Happiness is not a result, it’s a choice.
We don’t have to wait for it.
Consider this exercise:
- When __________ happens, I will be happy.
- As soon as __________, I will be happy.
- If __________ would only __________, I will be happy.
Then strike through the first clause, everything up to and including the comma.
Now embrace your new sentences:
- I will be happy.
- I will be happy.
- I will be happy.
How did you fill out the first part of the sentences?
How do you feel about that, now?

Wow. Just, wow.
Give this a seriously playful ten minutes, daily.
I dare you. You will find your own holy shift.
Beginnings, again

We are gifted regularly with new beginnings, with fresh starts.
Major life transits come to mind. Say, graduating. From any program of study, whether high school, post-secondary anything, even personal pursuits of learning. Or, moving house. Whether across town, across the state, or across the nation. And, there’s also changing jobs. Regardless of being within the same company or field, or switching it up to something else entirely.
Reverse engineering release
Posted on June 9, 2021 Leave a Comment
I’m very familiar with the idea of release as a letting go, a surrender. It’s honestly a great practice for me. (As in, I practice again and again and again…) This form of emptying is to me an allowing, a necessary stopping of something on my part. IF I do this, THEN I’ll feel that.
However, today I just learned of an additional way to practice release in my life. And this one is an action verb. (Oh, the irony.) I had this big AHA through reverse engineering. I feel THIS, here is WHY, this is WHAT I can do.
