TIME-OUT with TRACY DI CECCA Podcast

"I can fix it, I can work it out, I can be anything and do anything." When is it better to reach for neutrality?

"If I were to do more of what I am doing in this moment, where will that take me?" We never really arrive until we put what we have learned, joy, pain, struggles, into the service of ourselves and others. Ask yourself, "Where does my strength lie?" There is something that you are here to do. Do it.

What do we choose as the model we use for love, family, interaction with others and even ourselves? Can we change it?

Do we have the power to admire, to judge? I give the gift of power to myself and I choose to receive it.

How quickly does a good day turn bad? When we refuse to allow anger and bitterness to make us small, we experience the possibility and probability of delight.

Where is the love? What we struggle with most of all may have the simplest solutions.

The goal of understanding what is purely ‘me’ to be. Am I expressing myself with strength or rigidity? Am I rule-bound or free?

What stories do we tell ourselves about our lives that keep us bound or embolden us? Can we free ourselves? 

How can I live my life in a way that satisfies me and allows me the freedom to express myself? Dissatisfaction hangs, unsatisfactory behavior remains and I can't see anyone that provides the guiding light, that I would call teacher or that I would follow as guide. When none of us is able to offer the help that any of us needs, what do we do? When we look around and see so little and yet we know we...

We become the story we tell ourselves about everyone and everything around us. Life is simple, how entangled are the stories and how much energy do they require? Can we see what is around us without the story we tell about it, looking through the eyes of past hurt? Life becomes a boring exercise of the same old stories instead of the expression of a new day. Move away from the drama of trauma.

The expression of you is what you are here to do. Someone else may see what you do as worthy or unworthy. Others may see what you do as not quite right and they are correct, it is right for you. As close as we may be with others the time always comes when separation and distinction occurs. That distinction raises us to be who we are. How often to do I judge myself for not being like others and the...

What do we hold as true and what do we measure against it? What is the reward for minimized effort, skimming through our lives simply reflecting what is around us? Why should I worry about what people say or think or do when they are simply reflections reflecting reflections? Nothing true or real. Find a way to let your soul sing and your fingertips express the art that moves through you. Extend a...

What conclusion to do you come to when you look at your life? Do you understand what you are here to do and are you able to do it? Can we build the skill set that will lead us to our goal? Does realization of our goal bring the soul peace? Does it bring the glory the ego craves? Does it solve the mysteries that trouble us and lay our traumas to rest? What is YOU to do? Have you attempted it? It is...

Is home my house, my country, my planet? Is home my spirit or soul? Unless and until we make the planet home for all it is home for none. Unless and until we make all safe, we are all endangered. Allow love today. The human family is my family. The planet is my home.

Possibility brings life to life! If I tell myself I am trapped, I am trapped. Allow anger to express itself before it becomes your internal dialogue. Imagine life expanding into spaces far past the norm. We hate unfamiliarity but that is growth. Discover the possibility of this new day!

When you lay in bed at night and start to drift off is there a part of you that wrestles and will not lay at peace? It must replay the day, or spin backward into days past, or imagine difficult times going forward, and will not allow you to rest? And what about the greater, spiritual part? Where is that while the brain struggles and is constantly dissatisfied? If we can’t achieve peace within ours...

The Story of Me. Is that all there is because if it is, it hasn’t been enough. What choices do I have to make it better, to make it escalate toward the conclusion that I want to see, the better me? The answers do exist. This isn’t all there is to the story of me, the sad conclusion of not enough. What is the one thing that you feel you must do? Is the Story of the Truth of You?

Sometimes life feels like a battlefield. Do we know what battle we are fighting? Real or imagined? What choice do we have?

How do I pick a love partner? Building the energy of love attracts love. Energy never takes a break. Energy is always building in one form or another. As we build our expression of love we grow as a creator and attract others. Find love, know love, be love.

I was vaccinated against Covid and arriving before sunrise I saw people who were old and broken, walking with canes or crutches over the cobblestone street, I saw young people who had been there all night holding place for their parents or grandparents and I felt the drive to live. This life will expire one day and we will want more. Life is a precious gift worth fighting for in every breath.

I’ve been posting creations created by my friends recently and it’s astonishing what people can do each day. They do it through the gifts they have gleaned through practice. There is something that is you to do, do it. Observe, express, develop, practice and share. This planet is a blank canvas on which to create!

If I were to struggle just a little bit to be happier where would I begin? It would be easier to avoid, ignore, deny but I’m not going to. I’m going to take time instead to Do It. My life will become easier and, therefore, happier. We struggle for happiness and yet we refuse to do the things that will allow happiness to grow and live. When new things come it needn’t be a struggle against what was....

I will play today because there are many ways to reach happily ever after. How do we make sure it ends happily ever after when conflict is added to the story? We can learn as much through play as through difficulty so play!

I commit to a beautiful, new perspective. How much of our perspective is free choice and what is the combination of biology, sociology and psychology? All of these combine to influence the choices we make every day. When those choices are difficult and we find ourselves looping around the same mistakes we’ve made in the past, influenced by the same behaviors, we stumble and fall repeatedly. Look o...

The day may be filled with difficulties and challenges, turbulence and uncertainty but you can create your own reward. When the world hands you difficulty, create. If your soul is not given a voice it struggles against the bounds of your heart. It pushes against your arms and legs “Get up! Do something!” When nothing around you brings joy, create it. See the cohesion of your experience. Turbulent...
