These Are the Days Make Them Count
In Excuse me, Your LIFE is Waiting, Lynn Grabbhorn writes about how to focus on what you want as opposed to what you don’t want in your life. Here are some of her tips.
• Instead or spending time on worries, allow time to daydream, desire, imagine and intend with energy towards what
you want.
• Make more statements every day about what you want and why.
• Talk in a nice supportive way to yourself. (Silence the inner critic).
• Think only about what you want (not the lack of it).
• Accept once and for all that you are the creator of your experience (It is not what happens to you that matters what you tell yourself about it that matters).
• Stay out of the past…; it doesn’t exist.
• Today’s thoughts become tomorrow’s road map.
• Find new ways to feel better everyday, be creative and even outrageous.
• Live in the feeling place you want to be everyday…..shift your thoughts and perception as needed to stay there.
• When all else fails….fake a smile. It helps move the energy and trick the brain.
• Here are some self care tips of mine…
• Thoughts and feelings are energy and they effect you chemistry (Demonstration).
• When all else fails. Go to Self Maintenance. Chop wood and carry water. Eat right, exercise, sleep and drink lots of water.
• Have a sense of humor…..Want to make God laugh? Show him your plan. Quit arguing reality. Joke, watch funny
movies, play.
• You’ve made it so far……why would it be different now?
• Focus on your strengths and turn the rest over to your higher power.
• Remember that others are doing the best they can and their behavior is ALWAYS about them….not you. This can help with counter-transference dynamics.
• This can be the time for your best work. Go for it. You have nothing to lose. Experiment on ways of reaching out to
your clients.
• List your strengths, talents and interests. Start shopping for employment and recreational activities that match. Stay out of the future unless you are goal setting, moving in an action way towards the goals or day dreaming, creating what
you want.
• Support one another. Share what is working for you.
• Take time for stillness. Walks in nature, hot baths, meditation etc.
