Change your thinking

This is a portion of an email from the other day.  It’s from Joe Vitale (The Secret teacher).

I am mindful of the words I say.

It wasn’t always that way.

I believe it started some 10 years ago when I held a job in logistics.

Sales would call and say, “We have a problem!”

I’d always respond with, “There are no problems, what’s your challenge?”

It always made them pause.

Enjoy!

 

“Transformational Vocabulary.”

What I want you to do is change some of the words
you use when you communicate to yourself. These
subtle changes can make all the difference in how
you handle issues as they arise.

For instance…

- Refer to problems as “opportunities.”

- Instead of saying, “I have to” – say, “I get
to.”

- A setback is really a “challenge.”

- Tormentors are really “teachers.”

- Pain could be a “signal.”

- Instead of saying “I demand” – say, “I would
appreciate.”

- Rather than complain, you can “request.”

- Instead of feeling like you’re struggling, you
can be on a “journey.”

- Rather than simply doing – why not “create?”

I keep working on web design.  I am self taught.  And for the most part I do a great job.  However there are days when nothing is working the way I wish it would work.  Like today, I found another huge error I made and am working toward its repair.  Four hours later and I’m still trying to fix the mistake.

No wonder people pay others big bucks to do this stuff!

Arghhhh

Woke up this morning to….

Snow?

What the heck?

It’s not even Halloween yet!!!!

PS. I guess its time for me to shift my focus; chant with me now….

I love snow.
I love snow.
I friggin hate love snow

Wishing

Maybe I need to re-examine what you can do with this site.  I’m wondering where you can add a ‘friends’ list…or at the very least have a listing of the blogs you read on a current basis so you don’t have to loose your mind when you loose your favourite blogs.

There has to be something on this site, somewhere.  I just have to figure out where that is?

While I’m figuring that out.  Did you know a pumpkin puking on your head keeps you in the present moment?

Just so you know

I will NOT have anything to do with ANY conversation that has to do with the recession.

If we remember the LOA and all we focus on is recession and/or lack what do you think we are going to get more of?

PS.  Here’s a tip for your medicine bags…another article published on HTDT on releasing phlegm naturally.  You’ll even see me lying on the floor!

Variety is the spice of life

This morning a few of my yoga students were discussing a new class that was recently added to the schedule at one of the clubs I teach at.

“Apparently she’s really good,” I told the group after class based on the rumour mill.  It was true, I did hear great things about it.

“She is good,” said one student.  “But not as good as you.”

She whispered that last bit.

“My ego thanks you!” I replied giggling then continued…

“That’s just it, how do you know what it is you enjoy if you don’t try going to lots of classes with different teachers.”

And I truly do believe this.

It’s so like all parts of life.  To get really clear on what we want and where we are going, we need to explore variety.

May your day be filled with options to help you discover what it is you want!

Om Shanti

PS.  Speaking of great teachers, I just picked up “30 Essential Yoga Poses:  for beginning students and their teachers” by Judith Lasater from the library.  It is a must read!!!

I just realized

I think I could live online. 

Seriously. 

I just looked at all of the websites I have created and realized just how much time I actually spend on the computer.

Sometimes I enjoy researching;  the net is amazing for research.  Although it is important to remember just because something is online does not make it truth.  This is similar to television, magazines and books.  Specifically for health concerns, far too many are caught up in self-diagnosing etc., which can cause more trouble than its worth.

Sometimes I enjoy blogging; ok, I’ll admit I LOVE blogging.  Not only in this community but also in my other blogs where we can connect with others on the planet and not feel as though we are ‘in this’ alone.

I even enjoy Facebook.  Reallly!  This morning I got to catch up with someone I haven’t spoken to in years.  It was great to hear what he is doing now. 

I’m still not the best MySpace-r, however, I do try to post a blog topic now and then.

My latest favourite thing is writing.  I was invited to write for How to Do things and enjoy seeing my work published.  I also am a member of other free article sites and enjoy writing whatever I feel like writing on any given day.

And latestly, web design.  I am self-taught.  Thankfully long gone are the days when we have to decifer HTML script with many pagebuilding programs available it definitely makes our work go much faster and easier.

I just heard Brad Paisley’s song, Online, again this morning and had to laugh:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GcVnhNjWV0   Although i don’t live with my parents nor do I drive an old hyndai or have a black belt in karate!  The song truly is priceless.

Now I’m rambling, besides I do have to get out the door to teach another class now.  So I’ll have to wait until later to be kewl online!

I really enjoyed this quote

…from Joe Vitale’s book The Key;  so much so I had to share! 

“…almost a mediation, where the belief kind of comes across, like a thought coming across your mind right now, and you watch it like a cloud going through the sky. You’re not the belief. You’re not the thought. You’re not the cloud. You are the one observing it…..if you could realize that you are the sky and not the clouds, you will be at total peace all the time.”

Although he is discussing limiting beliefs, it describes meditation and our thought patterns wonderfully.

Let’s all be the sky, shall we?

Have a great weekend!
