First Impressions

 

November is a time of reflection!  A time to give thanks and praise for all that is!  BUT...what if we aren't happy with what is...and we don't feel like giving thanks and praise...then what?

This month's newsletter is about harvesting thanks and praise even when we don't feel it!

 

  
Personal
Inspiration
  

  

Here is the funny thing...the more we give thanks and praise the better we feel ...and the better we feel the more we have to give thanks and praise for.  It's like this, if you wait for something to give thanks and praise for, you are going to be waiting a long time!  Instead look at what is in your life already, STOP comparing it to others and realize it is a gift and not something you are entitled too!

 

This is what perplexes me.  How can we be upset with where we are at and what is if we don't know the ending?   How do we know what is the right choice or decision and what should be?  My good friend, Katherine Eitel teaches we all keep shoulding on ourselves way too much!  Haven't we all said, "ooohhh, I should have done this...or shouldn't have done that!"  Some of us take it even further and continue to beat ourselves up over and over on what we  should have done different and how we sabotaged our self.  This type of thinking and over analyzing catapults us to our lowest level!  Why would we give thanks and praise when we feel like such a loser?

 

            Crystal Ball

 


Wow!  It's time to quite the pity party and pull ourselves up out of our misery!  Unless we have a crystal ball and know exactly what we are supposed to do to get to that next level or the path we are to take to fulfill our journey...we have no reason to be upset!  The truth is we get upset once we label something as bad or wrong.  If we don't label it will stay neutral.  My point being if we don't have a crystal ball or know how to win the game (for you gamers out there), how do you know you took the wrong step or whether something is bad or wrong.  It only is!
   
 It's as if before you there are countless doorways, all leading to new and different hallways. So you wonder and think, calculate and stress, over whether or not you'll knock on the "right" one.
But what you can't yet see, is that all of the hallways beyond all of the doorways eventually lead to the same great room, in the same great house, with the same great party.  So, may as well pick the one you want?  ~ Mike Dooley
  
 

Professional Inspiration  

 

What we focus on is what we tell ourselves is reality.  What we tell ourselves is reality is what we believe.  What we believe affects how we feel about what is in our life.  How we feel about what is in our life determines whether we give thanks and praise.  So to harvest more thanks and praise we need to change what we focus on in our life.   Are you still with me? 

 

Try this and see if it doesn't make sense.  Starting right now whatever happens for the next 60 minutes focus on what you believe is missing or what is wrong or what could be better or what you are entitled too by comparing yourself to others.  How do you feel right about now?  Not so good right and probably not feeling like giving thanks and praise.

 

Now for the next 60 minutes focus on what is already in your life and don't compare yourself to others.  See the beauty in everything no matter how simple, normal or mundane.  What would you miss if it were no longer?   Whatever you would miss give thanks and praise.  Did you feel any difference?  I hope so.  The reality is when we focus on what is already in our life and give thanks and praise we feel grateful.  The more grateful we feel the more we give thanks and praise.  It is a very fulfilling cycle to get into. 

 

To simplify; stop focusing on what isn't and be thankful for what is!  Life is really that simple.  We make it hard when we listen to all the noise that shoulds all over us!

Trees in my backyard

 

Let me give you a couple examples.  Today is October 5th and I am writing this newsletter.  Today is my birthday and I am the lucky winner of a sinus infection and head cold.  Now I could focus on that I SHOULD feel good on my birthday and that I am missing out because of it and therefore my birthday is ruined.  What I choose to focus on is that it is a beautiful day today.  The sun is shining and the trees are a rainbow of fall colors.   And I do feel good enough to take time today to write my newsletter which is something I love to do.  So how do I feel right this moment?  Pretty darn grateful and yes I do feel like giving thanks and praise. 

 

A good friend of mine was telling me what a horrible week she had.  I asked the following questions, "You said 5 things went wrong this week, so what went right?  Those five things couldn't have taken up your entire week.  There must have been some good things as well?"  She hesitantly agreed that there were a couple of okay things.  The good things don't have to be great.  They just have to be what you would miss if they were no longer.  Why did she choose to focus only on the 5 bad things to label her week?  It was out of habit to focus on the bad.  So really to have had a better week all she would have needed to do was change her focus to what was good. 

 

If you want to harvest more thanks and praise learn a new habit to focus on the positive!
