Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
There is more than enough in the Universe for everyone.
Lack is only a state of mind, a belief system that was handed down to us from our childhoods.
Lack reflects a state of mind that says you are not worthy or deserving of having the best of everything- that you have to "earn" it -
whatever "it" is.
Today change your state of mind by changing that belief system. Start using the Law of Repetition that states that anything we repeatedly do, think or say on a regular, continuous basis becomes habit.
So Affirm and Repeat after me:
I am Worthy and Deserving of Health, Wealth and Well Being and there is more than enough in the Universe to go around.
Make this new thought a habit and watch your life expand abundantly in all areas!
Have a New Habit Tuesday!

Choose to make it a Great Day!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Each day is a new beginning. Today is a clean slate. You can make today a great day or a difficult day. It's your choice.
Here are some ways of making today a great day:
-Take a moment and SEE - Visualize what your great day would look like.
-Write down a couple of positive statements and post them where you can easily see them. ( today mine are "You can do it!" and " I accomplish my tasks with ease")
-Instead of a to do list start a DONE list. Write down everything you accomplish or do today-even little things.
-Set a timer for a specific amount of time to keep you on track and moving forward! (from 15 minutes to one hour)
-Use the TIMER and set a time limit for non essential things like; phone calls, internet, tv, junk mail, shopping, etc.
-Self Talk - Monitor the story you are telling yourself about today. Change "I'll never get all this done" to "I am excited to see how much I get done today!"
-FOCUS- keep your focus on the things that ARE working today and on the things you DID get done.
-Cheer Yourself on today! Don't wait for someone else instead do it yourself. As you go through your day tell yourself "way to go!" "I knew you could do it" or "Keep going you are almost there!"
And Remember:
-If you get caught up in any stress or negativity then just STOP! and start making a great day again.
Affirm:
I am the CEO of Me and I create my best day right now in this moment!
Have a you make it great Monday!

Move Forward!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
No matter where you want to end up, the journey starts from where you stand right now.
Today put one foot in front of the other and keep doing the next right thing. Baby steps allow you to move forward in a smaller, more manageable pace. All those baby steps keep moving you further towards your goals, dreams and new habits.
It's not how big the steps forward are that's important. It's the movement forward to your desired goal that counts.
Affirm:
Today I focus on just taking the next right step forward instead of whether I have walking or running shoes on.

The Clues of Focus
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today is about focus. Where is your focus?
Many times we focus on other people and what they should be doing, are not doing, are not accomplishing, or the way they are doing things. We drop into judgment and decide to spend our time, effort and energy perplexing about what is going on with "them".
What we are focusing on gives us clues about ourselves.
Perhaps the reason the focus is on someone or something else is to distract ourselves from ourselves and what we need to be doing or accomplishing.
So today become aware of when your focus shifts to someone else and ask yourself this question:
Is there something that I need to be doing, accomplishing or addressing?
When you keep your focus on yourself and what you need to accomplish for the day you will soon discover it leaves little time left over to get involved in someone else's day. And more importantly, you might find yourself too busy enjoying the results of your accomplishments to care what anyone else is doing.
Affirm:
Today I keep the Focus on me and MY goals.
Have a Focus Within Yourself Monday!

I AM Good Enough!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Perfectionism is about a feeling of not being good enough, right enough, smart enough; a feeling of having to compensate for lack. Doing the comparison game with others for being or doing less than they did.
Gratitude allows for the gift of Acceptance. Accepting that you ARE good enough, smart enough, doing enough. Gratitude keeps your focus on Appreciation for who You are and the things You have accomplished, the good coming into your life.
Gratitude keeps your heart open. When your heart is open you see yourself and everyone else through a softer, lighter lens. When you keep Gratitude and an Open Heart then Life becomes very good, not perfect but Good Enough.
Affirm:
Today I Am Grateful to be Me and I AM good enough!
Have a Very Good Friday!

You deserve the Best of Everything!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
The Creator, the Source of All, wants the absolute best of everything for each of us. If we do not have the best of everything in all areas of our lives our ego tells us it must be because we do not deserve it or are not worthy. And many times we buy it because our history - our story- seems to support that.
What if we considered for a just a moment that perhaps what is really happening is that the Universe has been trying to send us the best of everything all along and we have been blocking it from coming into our lives because the story we tell ourselves is that we are not worthy.
Become like the Scientist - conduct your own experiment. Write a new story for yourself.
Your new story is that you are wonderful, worthy and deserving of all the best that the Universe has to offer. Further, that you are OPEN and WILLING to RECEIVE all the best that is on its' way to you.
Whenever the ego tries to tell you the old story line, emphatically proclaim your new storyline:
"I am Wonderful and Worthy and I Deserve to have the Best of Everything!"
The only way to rewrite your old history is to create and live today a bold new story that in a week from now, month from now, a year from now will become a positive history to reflect on. The ego won't like it but I guarantee you will love it!

I Allow myself to accept the Best of Everything!

Practice Makes Perfect?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought 5/4/11
You know the saying "Practice makes perfect"? It refers to the idea that the more we practice something the better we get at it. Have you stopped to think about what exactly you are practicing on a regular basis? The things that you think about yourself or tell yourself regularly are ways that you are practicing getting really good at believing those same thoughts. For example:
If you think "Oh I am such a klutz" don't you find that you bump into things or drop things more often?
If you think "I always get into the slowest line" don't you find that you manage to do just that?
If you think "I can never seem to remember where I put my keys or my glasses" don't you notice how much time you spend looking for them?
If you think "I always get sick at this time of year" don't you notice that happens?
If you think "Man, Life is so hard and difficult" don't you notice how true that is?
You see your body and your actions will always follow your beliefs. And a belief is something that you keep practicing on a regular basis.
If you think "I always find a great parking spot" don't you notice that spot opens up or is waiting for you?
If you think "I always find a great sale or bargain wherever I go" don't you notice how that keeps happening?
If you think "I'm really lucky and lucky things happen to me" don't you notice how other people will make a comment like "Boy are you lucky!" or "It sure was lucky that happened the way it did"
If you think "I hardly ever get sick" don't you notice how true that is?
You see your body and your actions will always follow your beliefs. And a belief is something that you keep practicing on a regular basis.
Today examine some of your beliefs and what you say to yourself and others about them. Pay attention to how your actions and your circumstances will validate your repetitive thoughts.
The only difference between a negative belief and a positive one is the results that you get.
Which one would you prefer?
Affirm:
I practice Positive Thoughts so they become Powerful, Positive Beliefs!

Hummingbirds! And More feathered Friends!
Hummingbirds have been daily visitors to my feeders since May 1st and I even got a snapshot of one resting on the phone line. The hummingbird represents Joy. Today, in fact, there have been so many visits by them that I cannot keep up with them all! I think it is so appropo as my day started out today with a frame of mind of aggravation and frustration. And thanks to all my feathered friends, especially the tiny hummingbirds, it reminded me to reframe my attitude! For me, it is impossible to stay in a negative state of mind while there were so many kinds of birds showing up! Today is a wet overcast, cold day, which is the perfect day for birds to be out enjoying the feeders. Why? Because this same day is not a favorite of their predators, cats and dogs. So they take advantage of the opportunity and eat to their hearts content. Oh my gosh! While I am typing this I am stopping to take photos of new birds that have shown up! Like a Rose breasted grosbeak, male and female, four purple finches on the same feeder, a red headed woodpecker and a Baltimore Oriole (the male shown here, I also got the duller colored female oriole too!)
The Rose Breasted Grosbeak did not visit last year and its' appearance this year- so early is awesome! This particular Grosbeak (with what looks like a bright red heart shape in the center of his chest)represents Healing of the Heart and Healing of Family relationships. All of this is so amazing as today I am working on my Soul Restoration class and the topic is Boundaries! I have pre printed bird graphics to use however I now will use some of the bird pics from my feathered friends!
Wow! what wonderful messengers have shown up for me today to remind me to focus more on the joy in my life, setting healthy boundaries for myself and my own daily thought which is to "Say what I mean, mean what I say- and don't say it meanly" Guess I get to practice what I preach!
Thank you all my wonderful feathered friends for enlightening me and bringing much joy to my day!
When your buttons get pushed
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Sometimes your buttons get pushed and you want to react. When your anger gets triggered you sometimes feel that there are only two ways to deal with it: respond with anger or hold it inside-afraid your anger will get the best of you.
There is another way.
Say what you mean, mean what you say and don't say it meanly.
If at the moment you can't do that then give yourself a small time out - count to ten (or a hundred) and then speak your truth.
Say it quietly with love.
However you choose to respond when a button gets pushed is up to you. Before you respond ask yourself this:
Will the person(s) be more likely to really hear what I have to say if I say it with anger or with calm and love?
Then your choice becomes simple and the result you get will follow your choice.
Affirm:
Today I speak my truth by saying what I mean, meaning what I say and not saying it meanly.
Have a Truthful Monday!
