Morning Mantra: "Life is a constant cycle of losing your spark and finding it again."

The cycle of life. Some days you feel strong, other days you feel tired of pretending that you’re OK. You might smile on the outside, but there are still quiet battles on the inside.

You keep going but you’re trying to remember what it feels like before everything got heavy.

But then slowly, you find yourself again. 

When you start to lose your spark, the absolute best way to find it again is to keep moving forward and know that you will find it again. Because you always do.

Know that your magic will return and you will no longer feel so empty, you will no longer feel so numb.

You will feel the sun on your skin and recognize it as a gift.

You will hear music and it will speak to your soul.

You will find joy in the smallest of things. And know that’s what really matters.

When you lose your spark, you have to find what sparks a light in you so you can illuminate your path back to yourself.

Morning Mantra:” It’s better to admit you went through the wrong door than to stay your whole life in the wrong room.”

We are all doing life for the first time. It’s OK if you’ve made mistakes before, wrong choices, trusting the wrong people, taking the wrong steps.  All of these are part of learning. Part of life.

You must never feel badly about making mistakes as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. You often learn more from being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.

Things get tricky when you refuse to accept the fact that you made a wrong choice. And you stay stuck in that wrong place.  Some people do this their entire life!

The willingness to be humble, to be wrong, allows you to move forward into a better place, with better choices, and the life you really want.

So if it's a bad relationship, the wrong job, the wrong city, the wrong friend group, or the wrong choices about your health and wellness, don't surrender your whole life to them.

Morning Mantra: "Either the fear goes away or the opportunity does."

Fear. The big obstacle in life we all must face at sometime.  Fear actually is based in the past, even though it rears it's head when we are thinking about something to do now or in the near future.

Fear is a memory of the last time you got hurt, embarrassed, failed, rejected or any host of unpleasant things.   It is something your mind creates to protect you.  But, it is not based in reality about the current situation/decision you are making.  How could it be?  You haven't experienced it yet.

Add that to the fact that you survived all these past situations that are creating the fear now.  You made it.  You are stronger and wiser now.

So don't let fear control your future. Go for the job interview even if you get rejected.  Open yourself to new relationships even if you might get hurt.  Get up and dance at the wedding even if you might get embarrassed.  You'll survive, I promise you.  And you'll be a better person for it.  One who looked fear in the eyes and went for it.

Do. Whatever. Makes. You. Happy.   It's YOUR life- YOU control your thoughts so stop letting your mind control what you can and cannot do.

Challenge yourself.  Grow.  Bloom. And Thrive!

Morning Mantra: "In life, it's important to simply stop arguing with certain people, and just let them be wrong."  

With the stress of the the current climate in the US most people need an outlet for their anxiety. Some people take up a new sport or mindfulness hobby, some go back to school online, some quit their jobs and hit the road.   

Others decide to get mad and stay that way.  And when they are feeling particularly anxious or challenged, they pick fights. In their homes, in their cars, at work, and on social media.
 
They are not really trying to engage, they are looking for release.  So, don't waste your time trying to help them "see the light". They can't see past their darkness. They are invested in their pain.

It's a difficult pill to swallow when you see someone so engulfed with rage and bitterness, especially when it's directed at a fellow human being.  But you won't change their minds.  

So, just simply move along, still shining, knowing better.  Live by example. Loving others, giving of yourself, appreciating nature, being kind.

Morning Mantra: "Fix the leak before filling the bucket."

We all want to add extra "good" things to our lives.  Maybe we think that if we fill our life with good stuff it will counteract anything that's bad.

Truth is, addressing one bad habit will do more to change your life than adding another good one.  Mainly because that bad habit/situation/relationship takes up space.  Space where the new ( better) thing needs to go.

Cramming another thing onto your plate without creating that space just causes stress and doesn't change the thing that is causes you pain.  Face your habits head on. Figure out what drives the behavior.  Then commit to change.

Once you create the space, go ahead and fill your bucket.

Morning Mantra: “Use your time creating the life you want, instead of escaping the life you have.”
  
If you want to make positive changes in your life, get in the habit of asking yourself, “Does this support the life I am trying to create?”  Then don’t sit on the couch and wait for it to happen.
You must take control of your thoughts and actions.  Start eliminating things that don't align and adding things that do.

Go out and try new things.
Throw away what you’ve been cluttering.
Do not follow negative people on social media.
Get enough sleep.
Treat your body kindly with healthy food and exercise.
Be fierce.
Show more gratitude.
Do things that challenge you.
Be brave.
It's your story to write, live the life you want to tell.

Morning Mantra: "The cracks are where the light gets in."

Some of the posts I do are worth repeating.  This one from 2021 is one of them.

The Japanese art of Kintsugi , which literally means "gold joinery", believes in putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold  — it is a metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections.

I love this idea of emphasizing the cracks.  We are all broken at times.  But this is where the light of healing can enter.  By using gold to mend the cracks, it makes the vessel even stronger than it was before.  So where you heal becomes a strength.

Don't hide your cracks, or the scars of your healing.  They illustrate your journey, and reveal your strength.

Morning Mantra: "I wonder how much of what weighs me down isn't mine to carry."   

If you are like me you have a natural tendency to want to take on more than you need to.  To solve everyone's problems instead of just listening to them and letting them unburden themselves.

Detachment is something I had to learn.  It's not a sign of not caring about others.  It's more about taking care of yourself first and letting others take responsibility for their actions without trying to save or punish them. 

What helps me to do this is remembering the laws of detachment:
Allow yourself to be who you are without the need for approval from others.
Allow others to be who they are without judgement.
Don't force situations, solutions will emerge.
Uncertainty is reality-embrace it.

Detachment also works for your OWN issues.  Detach from your past mistakes, your shame, and your guilt.  Let them go, these are burdens you do not need to carry.

Morning Mantra: "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of my reaction to it."

The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than anything. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, the circumstances.  It's more important than failure, than success, than what other people think or say or do. 

It’s more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It’ll make or break a company, a church, a home, a relationship. 

We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. But we can change our attitude.

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. 

What attitude will you choose today?

Morning Mantra: "Spend more time with people who bring out the best in you not the stress in you."

You can't force anyone to value, respect, understand, or support you, but you can choose to spend your time around people who do.

We tend to want to convince other people that we are worthy.  We spend way to much time trying to get their approval.  Time better spent with people who already care.

Make it a habit to spend more time with YOUR people – the people you enjoy, who love and appreciate you, and who encourage you to improve in healthy ways. They’re the ones who make you feel alive, and not only embrace who you are, but also embrace who you want to be.

Give up the idea that everyone has to like you and want a relationship with you.  People may not always tell you how they feel but they will show you.  So believe them.
