Feel it so you can Heal it

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.

Discover something New!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today is a great day to learn something New. Something about someone else that you didn't already know. Most times we are so busy focusing on our schedules, jobs, to do lists, etc. that we prevent ourselves from discovering new information about the people in our lives, including children. When this happens we stay on a superficial level and miss out on connecting on a more real and true level. Make a point today to ask discovery questions. It could be something as simple as what kind of car a co-worker drives, what's a favorite quote, movie, color, book or food they enjoy. What music do they listen to? Hobbies? Do you know the names of family members, pets? You may discover that you have more in common than you realized. You probably will discover some fun and wonderful facts that will surprise you.
So make today a discovery day.

Affirm:
     Today I take the time to learn something new about someone in my world.

Have a Discovery Monday!
