I’ve been hearing this phrase for a few years now; mindset, state of mind, money mind, etc… I often wondered what it meant to have a poverty mindset, or abundance mindset. Until recently there seemed to be cloudiness around what I was able to see within myself. For the last 30 years I have been a student of the self; my being, my mind, my programs, my history, my belief systems, constantly on a path Read more…
It’s been a while since I posted here. It’s been an interesting journey to say the least. I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of “change your thoughts, change your life”. It seems people think they have found a new tool to use to change parts of their lives. They start by using affirmations, or quotes from other people, or even memes. Then it seems they start to abandon their efforts due to the Read more…
“My reality is collapsing”! These were the words I said to myself as I started running this morning. It felt like what I “knew to be reality” was no longer valid. The ground I was running on was not the same, the view of my neighborhood was different, my stride was different, my breathing, how I felt about running, everything was askew. Head’s Up I noticed my head was up instead of down. I consider Read more…
How you do anything is how you do everything When you think about it, everything you experience is a relationship. Your relationship with your work, life, lover, friends, yourself, your pets, your finances, home, etc. In fact, I can’t think of anything in life that is not in relationship with ourselves. Go ahead and try for yourself. The degree to which you relate to yourself, or aspects of yourself, is the degree to which you Read more…
The other day I saw a neighborhood cat sitting on my wife’s car. My wife hates cats, I’m indifferent. Since I grew up with them and can’t have one due to the wife’s cat allergy, I’ve just follow along in the “ugh, cats” attitude. The next day I washed my car (love the car), only to see little muddy cat paw prints on my hood an hour later. My first reaction was anger. “How could Read more…
I’ve been noticing this world a-lot more lately; hope. “I hope this happens” or, “I hope she gets better” or, “I hope things turn around”, “I hope this president _____”, etc… “Hope” vs. “expectation”. The energy of the word “Hope” includes and ingredient of fear, whereas the word “Expect” does not. Hope usually comes from a fear place fear of unworthiness, fear of being unlucky, invisible, or unimportant. , Expectation comes from knowing, intuition, almost taken Read more…
This is sort of a re-post from a few years back. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”. This was the quote we were taught to say when we were younger (I’m 50) when someone would call us names. We used to say it like a little kid, nanny nanny boo boo. In the mean time, we would walk a way with this feeling in our guts, this pain, Read more…
A long time ago I came across Ho’oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian / Polynesian process of forgiveness. I used this and had amazing results. I still use this process today, not in the exact method, but in the spirit of it. I also know that forgiveness is healing. Did you get that? Forgiveness is Healing. The state of forgiveness is more important that the who, what, where, why, and when. However, once in the state of Read more…
The original quote goes: ” a Jack of all trades is a master of none, but often better than a master of one”. I always felt that my proclivity to learning many things was a bad thing. Then I came across Emily Wapnick’s article and Ted talk on Multipotentialites. I am that…. for sure. I have done many things, I learn about a lot of things, I am curious about many things. Up until recently Read more…
Original Post 2/17/2015 Do it….Take the first step Motivation is important. But what do you do when that flash of motivation starts to dim? Where is the inspiration, the spark that started the whole thing? A little determination might be in order to keep the motivation in high gear. How about humility, realistic goal setting, clear vision, certainty, or patience? These are just a few ingredients for change. When I was cycling, I used to Read more…
