Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
It is very stressful to try to live up to everyone else's standards for you, to people please, over commit because you're afraid to say No, do things out of guilt rather than free will, hold back your own thoughts and feelings because someone may not like or agree with you.
Just for today try something different. Be your version of You. Please yourself, commit only to what you really want to do, speak your thoughts and share your feelings with truth and love.
Just for today - relax and Be You! After all no one can tell you you're doing it wrong because you're the expert on you!
Affirm:
Today I relax into just being Me and I am okay with who I am!
Have a Be True to You Tuesday!

Be Good to You
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today's mission should you decide to accept it is: Be good to Yourself.
Treat yourself with love, patience, and kindness. Pamper yourself with a few quiet moments just for you. Tickle your own funny bone by reading something funny, watching kids at the playground, observing your pet or watching a funny program or movie.
Whatever you do today or this weekend or wherever you go, simply: Be good to You. When you take the time to be good to yourself it makes it easier to be to be good to others.
Affirm:
I choose to be good to Myself because I am Worth it!
Have a Great Self Care Weekend!

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!
Affirm:
I Allow myself to accept the Best of Everything!
Have a New Story Thursday!

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!
Have a Positive Practice Wednesday!

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!
