Think of what you can do, not of what you can’t

 
 
You say: ‘No way, I can’t live without my morning coffee, and I always need my 3 o’clock coffee. So there is no way I’ll
survive a day without it.’ 
 
What about have one cup of coffee in the morning, and then cup of tea at 3 o’clock.
Can you do this?
 
Well, I guess, I can.
 
Oh, good, let’s have cup of tea right now!
 
Oh, I get it. Don’t do it all at once. Start doing what you can. Make a little effort, and do what you can. Change one little thing at a time.
 
How to:
 
Practice these words: ” I won’t let what I can’t do keep me from what I I can do.”
 
Maybe you can’t go for a walk but you can
touch you toes 10 times in the morning, and 10 times in the afternoon. It’s doesn’t matter what you can’t do but what matters what you can.

The inner speech can be harmful or rewarding.

Pay Attention to the words you use-in self talk and in conversations with others.

 
‘The inner speech, your thoughts, can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.’
 
-Ralph Charel, author of How to Make Things Go Your Way
 
 
Many years ago I made a horrible discovery. My father was living in my head-and he wasn’t even there from I was fourteen…
I had internalized all the critical things he said to me and they had become a central part of my self-talk.
“You have two left hands” That became I am too clumsy.
“No, you can’t!” “Why?” “Because I said so!” had become “I can’t, no matter what I do”
“You’re not worth spending a cent on” -
had become “You’re worthless” in my head. And many more.
I know I’m not alone in this experience.
In day-to-day conversations as I listen to friends and others, I often hear their parent talking. I hear voices of worry, doubt, anxiety, hoplessness, worthlessness, despair, judgment, and criticism.
The good news is that our mental hard drives are quite flexible.
Your brain can change, and so can you.
You can learn to catch your negative words and replace them with positive words.
The more you practice, the easier it will get.

 

How to:
 
Continue carrying the little notebook with you, and write down your negative self-talk when you hear it. Just take a notice, notice, notice.
In time you will start to delete, delete, delete…
I did it - so can you…

Money!!! Abundance!!! Make up your mind!!!

 
When you go to pay your bills, use your imagination, and make up any game you like.
Imagine your bills are checks, or imagine that you are giving the money as a gift when you pay them. Add zeros to your bank statement, or put the bank of the Universe check from The Secret website on your bathroom mirror, on your fridge, at the bottom of your television screen, on your oven, on the visor of your car, on your desk, or on your computer.
 
Play, pretend, and make up games that will infiltrate your subconscious with the feeling of abundance.

Remember

Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. if you are complaining, you are not being grateful. if you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. if you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in bad mood, you are not being grateful.

 
 Gratitude can transform your life. Are allowing minor things to get in the way of your transformation and the life you deserve?
 
Rhonda Byrne

Self-Care is not fun, interesting, Engaging or Tasty…

… It’s boring and bland-Who Wants It?

 
‘A waist is a terrible thing to mind.’
-Cathy Conheim, therapist, author.
 
Cathy Conheim says that in her practice she sees a lot of little kids trapped in adult bodies. Maybe it’s true. What kids want to do? To have fun, play games, do interesting things, eat sweets, be creative, go on adventures, dream and fantasize, and enjoy life. Kids don’t want to eat broccoli-and neither do we.
 
No matter what we want to do as kids, we now have to balance our checkbook, do grocery shopping, and getting gaze at the station, cook clean, exercise, learn how to eat for better health….Borrrrrrrrrrrrring.
Who likes to do things that don’t involve creativity, challenge, fun, or excitement?
A lot of self-care necessities rate a big fat zero when it comes to fun.
 
Take Small steps just by noticing.
 
Think about aspects of self-care that you really don’t like to do. Maybe it’s as simple as washing off your makeup before you go to bed. Perhaps it’s drinking water or eating organic veggies. It could be the thing you really don’t like is exercise…or sweating.
 
Don’t try to change anything right away-just notice. What are the thoughts that go through your head when you thing about those self-care items? What are your feelings?
 
Now think about some activities that you really love to do. What feeling come up for you? Do any of them and feel like a kid? Pay attention to these feelings. Becoming aware of who we are and what motivates us is an important first step  in overcoming our barriers to great self-care.
