Before You React to Something

4/2/2023

"Stop and check in with yourself.

Ask is this a Healthy Response ?

Am I perpetuating the Problem ?

Am I enabling the Behavior ?

Is my response based on my own need or fear ?

Is this an old pattern that is no longer healthy ?

Take a few deep breaths before you respond.

A conscious response is better than an-in-the-moment reaction."

--Ara Wiseman

The first list will bring you peace and happiness, while the second list will bring you only sadness. You may have a a lot of things that make you unhappy, but if you have even one going well, you have to focus on that.

Surrender is Saying "YES"

2/9/2023

"Yes, I accept that this is a terrible situation,

and the way I can make it better is ..."

This is how surrender becomes the key to

taking positive action and frees us from

so many of the negative emotions that we

strengthen by opposing reality.

-- Joshua Kauffman

Do not Wait for Someone to Apologize

2/3/2023

Don't Wait for someone else to apologize and hold a grudge against them until they do.

You know why?

Because the person that feels the wrath of your anger, frustration, and hatred
is you.

Rather than waiting for an apology, or expecting one to come, realize it may never happen and that is okay.

Your life and your happiness do not depend on someone else saying, "sorry".

Your life and your happiness depend on YOU and no one else.

REALITY.

Perfectionism

12/23/2022

Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around,

thinking it will protect us,

when in fact it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight.
