Just say Hello

Today I came across a new campaign from Oprah that totally resinated with me. She is simply calling it "JUST SAY HELLO". This is a link to the video she has done.  http://www.oprah.com/health/Just-Say-Hello-Video

Something I have done for as long as I can remember is to try and always smile at everyone I come into contact with. Most of the time people look away or look down but every once in awhile the smile is  returned. People are so guarded these day, it's sad. Can you imagine how wonderful the world would be if people just smiled and acknowledged the people in their presence.

Well, I am taking Oprah challenge of saying hello to those I come in contact with whether I am walking down the street or standing in line at the grocery store. Who knows maybe that smile and hello can help someone to feel better, or just brighten their day. It is sure worth a try and regardless it will make me feel great.

Self Talk

The below article is taken from http://www.mindbodygreen.com, when I came across this article I thought...wow this is something that I have been doing for sometime. My four favorite times to practice positive self talk is when I am meditating, tanning, having acupunture done and in the shower in the morning. This is time that I have with my thoughts uninterrupted to focus on positive self talk with myself be it whatever I feel I need at that time. 

14 Mantras to Help with PostiveSelf Talk

That voice inside your head has a huge impact on who you are and how you live your life. You may not think so, but with practice you can change your negative  self-talk, to positive self talk. Why wouldn’t anyone want to develop a habit of positive self-talk? It uplifts you; it helps increase your confidence, it enables you to attract what your heart desires, it allows you to adopt a healthier lifestyle and it helps reduce stress.

However, it can easily slip your mind to regularly practice positive self-talk if you don’t make it a habit. And yes, it might sound and feel ridiculous at first, but if you keep going with your positive self-talk it will become natural to you. To help you stay on track, you may like to put some post-it notes wherever you'll see them: on the bathroom mirror, on your computer screen, inside of your wallet, in your car — wherever works for you. It’s important to constantly remind yourself to speak kindly to yourself until it becomes a habit.

Bring your awareness to your self-talk when you wake up, when you’re driving to work, waiting to be served at a restaurant, exercising, or lying down; use it every day, in all situations.

When clients first come to me, this what they tell themselves day in and day out:

"I don't want to feel overwhelmed. I don't want to feel full of anxiety and stress. I don't want to be rushed every minute of every day. I don't want my house to be full of chaos and unhappiness. I don't want my mind being consumed with negative thoughts and my body being filled with physical tension. I don't want to feel so tired and exhausted. I don't want to feel like I live in a whirlwind. I don't want to feel 'less' than. I don't want to just exist from day to day."

I immediately become clear on what they don't want, so I shift their focus on what they DO want. Being a Law of Attraction coach, I know what we focus on expands, and what we send out will always return to us.

I then suggest that they change their self-talk to something like:

• I am capable.
• I know who I am and I am enough.
• I choose to be present in all that I do.
• I choose to think thoughts that serve me well.
• I choose to reach for a better feeling.
• I share my hapiness with those around me.
• My body is my vehicle in life; I choose to fill it with goodness.
• I feel energetic and alive.
• My life is unfolding beautifully.
• I am confident.
• I always observe before reacting.
• I know with time and effort I can achieve.
• I love challenges and what I learn from overcoming them.
• Each step is taking me to where I want to be.

Your self-talk creates your reality. Is it time you rewired your brain and created new thoughts and habits to help bring you what you DO want as opposed to what you don't want?

Love by Doe Zantamata

It is the greatest, most powerful force in the universe.
It's a treasure that people would give anything for, yet it cost nothing to give or receive.
There is an endless supply, and it can be extended to family, friends and strangers.
It increases positivity, and acts like a soul shield against negativity for the outside world.
It forgives, trust, encourages, inspires and make all who have it into better people.
It is the truth, the path and the way.
Love: Give it, receive it, and Believe in it.

Beatitudes for the weird

Blessed are the weird people - Poets, misfits, writers, mystics, heretics, painters and troubadours...for they teach us to see the world through different eyes.

Blessed are those who embrace the intensity of life's pain and pleasure, for they shall be rewards with uncommon ecstasy.

Blessed are ye who see beauty in ugliness, for you shall transform our vision of how the world might be.

Blessed are the bold and whimsical, fr their imagination shatters ancient boundaries of fear for us all.

Blessed are ye who are mocked for unbridled expression of lobe in all its forms, because your kind of crazy is exactly that freedom for which the world is unconsciously begging.

Blessed are those who have endured breaking by life, for they are the resplendent cracks through which light shines.

~ Jacob Nordby
