For your consideration…..

Really? That’s what I said when this clearly became the message. I was still balking when I drew my angel card for my own journaling today. What was the card? “Have Confidence”. OK. So here we go.

“Stop whining” sounds so harsh. But it is just meant to grab our attention. We are being reminded that we were given control of our lives. And unless we have given it away, we still are. If we have given it away, we can always, always, take it back no matter what.That is because the real control center is in our mind and soul. We own that. While we may think we can turn the controls over it isn’t permanent because no one else can physically get at them but us. Let me say this again. Ultimately, only we control our lives.

So, if you don’t like where we are at, don’t have to stay here. Move. Do something. If you stay in the same place, you will continue to get the same results. It is self-perpetuation. If you don’t like your job, try something else ie; try another one, take classes to train for something else, volunteer, help other people etc. If you don’t like your social life, change it up ie; go to different places, try new things, don’t wait to be invited, do the inviting etc.

The point is the “whining” just keeps us stuck. We have to take action. We have to move. We have to step out of our comfort zone. We have to be the spark that lights the fire.

Easier said than done? Oh, I know. I am not a writer. Don’t think for a minute that when I was asked to do this blog, my stomach didn’t do flip-flops. Still the effort moves you off of the dime. Maybe it isn’t the final result but it is a step in the right direction.

So really the message is not harsh at all. We are just being encouraged to try something new, give yourself a chance to be all you can be. We are being reminded that we have all we need to be everything we ever HOPEd we’d be. We just need to go for it.

Finally, I will share this little prayer that was meant for all of us today.

Archangel Michael, please lend me your courage and fortitude. Help me realize that I am one with all that is Divine: wisdom, strength, love, creativity, abundance, and health. Allow me to feel confident and peaceful about myself in all ways.

 

Bit by bit, piece by piece, hope by hope action steps anyone can take…..

-Meditate.

-Drink lots of water.

-Reflect on all you are grateful for. Who loves you? Why? Be grateful for those attributes and build on them.

-Take in some deep breaths outdoors even if it is just from the porch.

-Dream. Picture yourself happy. What does that look and feel like? What are you doing?

 

What made me smile yesterday…..

-The little first graders. Really, too many funny, funny stories to tell.

-My Alex. I am so proud of how in charge she is of her life.

-Dinner out with Bruce. The scary thing is, we are starting to read each other’s mind. Yikes!

 

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Chris
