MOTIVATIONAL POEM:

There’s an unfolding as the

dawn makes its way into

day, as songbirds pour

their melodies into the

morning.

I watch as songbird’s

bounce from branch to

branch with excitement,

where peace and anticipation

collide in the misty air.

For me, I have

learned the value of time,

where I savor each

microsecond, it’s profound

when I can feel peace in

knowing how to drink in

the sounds and beauty

being painted before my

eyes in each minute of passing.

—Linda J. Wolff

In today's episode of The Sense of Self Podcast: Personal Development Series: Remind Yourself to Practice Like a Spring Rain, narrator, and life coach, Linda J Wolff shares her thoughts and poem about transition, temporariness, and embracing emotions.

---

MOTIVATIONAL POEM:

That transition from winter to spring,

where the cold, weighted raindrops

become warm, one drop, then another.

Reminds me of learning to practice in

the love of selfless healing, one teardrop,

another affirmation of recognition.

How heartache was a milestone of

what once was, yet, no longer weighted in

the moisture of pain, and how rainbows

leak color in a soul now filled with love,

faithfulness, and peace.

And seeds will soon drop onto 

the landscape of hope after a few

spring rainstorms sprouting with growth.

In today's episode of The Sense of Self Podcast: Personal Development Series: Choices Can Uplift or Downshift, narrator, personal life coach, and author, Linda J Wolff speaks about how to represent yourself, the fallout of wrong choices, the impression that follows you throughout a lifetime.

---

MOTIVATIONAL MUSE:

Oh, the possibilities of a life well-lived,

if we could peel away the dead

leaves of yesterday, and grow from the

stems of strength, if we could open

like a flower bloom and receive the light of

hope and understanding, just imagine

the things that would fall at our feet.

In today's episode of The Sense of Self Podcast: Personal Development Series: Recognizing Overthinking - Redefine Focus & Purpose, narrator, personal life coach, and author, Linda J Wolff speaks about how to recognize that you've lingered too long on overthinking, stress, or small disagreements. 

---

---

MOTIVATIONAL MUSE:

When my mind is clouded with the mist of overthinking or stress. Maybe I’m the vapor of particles suspended in a murky concentration of life.

I hate when I find myself there when my path is distorted. Recognizing that pivotal moment you’ve lingered too long, snap, change it up.

I need to allow the sun to leak in, to warm my thoughts, to recognize I’m waffling in wasted time. Nothing is going to come of this if I stay in this state of confusion.

Now comes “clarification.”

It’s time to repurpose, get back on the road, clear the mindset of cloudiness, and drive-thru the foggy mist.

Snap, coffee in hand, pen scribbling…

In today's episode of The Sense of Self Podcast: Personal Development Series: Listening to the Presence of Your Pain & Remove it Through Recognition, narrator, personal life coach, and author, Linda J Wolff speaks about how to learn through recognition that heartache or pain experiences don't have to stay saturated in the mind, body, and soul.

---

---

MOTIVATIONAL MUSING:

How much chaos can you absorb until…

I use one word, “Recognition.”

When my soul feels so heavy like a burdensome rock that I have chosen to carry, I can’t bear for another second the weight of those choices and knowing that what I am doing isn’t working for me.

Listening to the presence of this pain and how much of it has saturated itself into my day, my body, and my mindset.

I need to own it, I don’t need to blame another. I made those choices that led me to where I am standing at this moment of my life.

I recognize that nothing will change unless I want to succeed in the next hour, day, and lifetime. This is a day-to-day practice I committed to myself.

In today's episode, Linda J Wolff, author, narrator, and personal life coach shares her thoughts on The Sense of Self Podcast: Personal Development Series: What if I Make Him or Them Uncomfortable?

---

What if I Make Him or Them Uncomfortable? 

What if you don't? I've learned that if I don't bring my authentic feminine energy, I risk losing my power to represent my beautiful self. 

So many times we overthink things, worry about hurting their feelings, commit too much time and energy to the what if's. There's something that happens when we refuse to "rock the boat" so to speak, we start feeling resentment, and anger towards them for their behaviors.

It's not their fault that you won't speak up and tell them how you want to be respected. What makes you happy.

A silent mouth sinks the boat, destroys what could have been a magical time in life for you.

Don't be afraid to be the woman or man you are, bring your quirky, goofy authentic self, love every piece of your uniqinness. Keep your feminine power or your masculing energy.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY: Patience and Practice With Self

Maybe, this is one of those mornings where patience is in control, 

where we step out of our own way to watch life 

evolve as it should instead of forcing something 

that was never meant to be.

Like standing, watching the morning sun make its 

entrance into the day, and you watch how the perspective 

changes with every inkling of light.
