This past week I have been thinking a lot about the concept of self sabotage….remembering years ago how I would incessantly blame myself for my weak will, my lack of focus and inability to stay the course (any course) I set for myself.
And that was it. I would quit, stop, change course – think something different and take another route. Ultimately, I would not get where I wanted to go, or follow through with my own plans.
Read MoreI have been having conversations with people and doing some thinking about the concept of worry. It is a strange one….how did all of this worry come about and why do we do it? When did we start (the human race) worrying about our lives?
Has it always been like this?
Read MoreFor so many years I have prepared for this moment – and certainly over the last decade or so, I have carefully chosen my food and made the necessary changes to my lifestyle as I healed my body. And, right now I feel deep down as if my defences are finally rising and coming into their own.
Read MoreToday has been a day of change (again!) not in a huge way…but just the subtle under currents have been shifting around. This of course will create major changes on the surface in due time.
One thing I have caught myself saying several times a day lately is “I don’t know’. Actually this is something new for me, mostly because I firmly believe that I do know, my body knows and the information comes up to the surface as I need it.
Read MoreLearning how to pay attention to what is important or even what is happening around us is one of life’s vital lessons. Of course so is patience and listening…perhaps these are all linked in some way?
I often say to people, if you want to know what is happening with you – watch your children, look at your family, your relationships and the people you see on a regular basis. But, don’t overlook your pets and the area (garden) surrounding you as well.
Read MoreI once came across someone who was advertising a conference on fear….the premise of the entire course of learning was to remove and eliminate the fear from our lives.
Which is a good thing, right? Unless….we do it without fully thinking through the purpose of ‘fear’ and then understand where it goes when we push it aside or ignore the fact that it’s there.
And where it comes from…
Read MoreThese days my mind is focused on change….and what usually comes along with those thoughts is the deep rooted patterns of fear…we see it everywhere. Some of it we even recognize, however – there is far more that is cleverly disguised as something else altogether.
Read MoreI have been taking a mental break for a few days…at least that’s what I think it was! Perhaps I just stood back a little from everything in order to gain a new perspective…either way I have not written down a single word in about 3 days.
That’s my new record! LOL
Read MoreI am fasting again today….it’s been an intermittent fasting week, one day eating and one day fasting. While I time my workouts (and milking goats, cooking, cleaning, writing, gardening!LOL) for my fasted days…it just feels much better that way.
Read MoreIt’s been a determined kind of day….this morning I got up feeling really good – about everything! And it just got better from there. Not that anything in particular happened – but because I was feeling so good, I got a lot done.
And of course it got me thinking about this entire topic of ‘frames of mind’, thought processes and how this affects our behaviour and especially the outcome of our days. I think it all boils down to something quite simple really! (LOL)
