Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Use pain as a steppingstone, not a campground. ~ alan cohen
This quote reminds me that there is a tendency to avoid pain at all costs, deflect it, distract from it, suppress it, medicate it so we don't have to FEEL it.
However, pain is a sign to us that there is an imbalance calling for our attention, for us to learn from. Pain is a signal that our body, mind, and spirit is actively working on some kind of healing.
When we can focus on the pain to ask "What are you trying to teach me and how may I assist in my own healing?" we make new awarenesses. The biggest of which is:
Postponing Feeling is Postponing Healing.
Affirm:
Whatever I can Feel, I can Heal.

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!
