Transformed Life 2 Min Encouragement

I am lost. I do not know where I am? It does not happen to me often.  Would you call that an accident? Not really. It might be poor planning,  no map, or many other things. My question is, what is an accident? I  have focused on intentions this week for a reason. We don't accidentally  brush our teeth, shower, or eat lunch. We don't accidentally have  success in life eithe...

It was an accident, Really! Have you ever said that? We all have. When  we are intentional, we don't say that, correct? Or do we? If accidents  happen, then what is the opposite of being intentional? Accident? The unintentional consequences of not being intentional is the results we did not plan. Let me say that again. It is not an accident when we don't reach our goals. When we have a f...

What exactly is intentionality? It is when you are intentional. Because our unconscious does so much of the work for us, being intentional takes  great planning and focus. Being forgetful, and getting off track means you were not intentional! Setting Goals and achieving them takes effort  using intentionality. A plan that reaches those goals has INTENTIONAL  steps to achieve that go...

Take a moment and think about 2020. Did you achieve the goals you set for that year? I sure didn't What I am learning is how powerful my intentions are.  I was not as intentional as I could have been and that resulted in me having fewer goals achieved.   This year, I am choosing to be more intentional by using a daily routine of what I intend to do that day, giving me better co...

“Beauty, youth, good fortune, even love itself, cannot keep care and pain, loss and sorrow, from the most blessed for...into each life some  rain must fall, Some days must be dark and sad and dreary.”  this is a  quote from the movie "Little Women" by Louise May Alcott. I love that movie.  Love the days you have! Whether sorrow, dark,  rainy, or sunshine they all are...

What kind of special talent do you have? I love playing sports but I am  not good at sports at all. When I was growing up I wanted to be good at  sports like a few of my siblings. As I got older, I discovered my own  special talent and began to develop that. What is your special talent?  What do others say you do well? Today acknowledge your special talent  and own it! Tel...

Why am I doing what I am doing? We all have these patterns that we repeat in our life. If these patterns are creating difficulties,  especially in relationships, then maybe we should look into the pattern.  Patterns that are most difficult to change are ones that are learned before the age of 7. For example, ask yourself where you are most like your mom or your dad? That is a pattern. If...

I am not sad, I am not angry, and I am not afraid. I have these because of the choices I have made. Choices do not prevent sadness, anger, or being afraid. Choices allow me to feel them and then MOVE TOWARD the feelings I want to have. What are your choices today? Sad, angry,  afraid? Tell someone what you feel today! Happy, Joyful or Blessed? Tell someone. Choose to be alive and share the re...

Sorry! I am so sorry! Please forgive me! I didn't mean to do that!  WOW!  What happens when you hear those words? Apologies are a necessary part of life.  I did not say "I apologize" did I? I used different  words.  Words have power and meaning. Choosing the right word can sure make a  difference in the conversation! How often do you say "I  a...

In like a lion out like a lamb. I love old folklore like that. As a  young man, I remember feeling that was so true. March was so windy, and  yet it left so calm.

Are you living a boring life? Well maybe not, What I am saying is how boring to be doing the same thing over and over. 95% OF YOUR THOUGHTS  ARE THE SAME AS THE DAY BEFORE! How boring is that? Of course, I am having fun with you because you might not live a boring life. However,  if you do want feel more alive, more connected, and vibrant, then put NEW words in your brain. Read, do or ex...

Where does anxiety come from? I have discovered that anxiety is unprocessed energy. Or another way to say it is, anxiety is words you have not spoken. Learning to talk about what you experienced and not what happened releases the energy inside you. Journaling, and or talking about what you were experiencing moves the energy away from you. In a  severe anxiety attack, the energy inside you is...

Say these three sentences to yourself often today. "I will be happy"  "I will be well" "I am going to be filled with kindness and peace"  Help your brain by talking to it directly. These kinds of things tend to come true more you say them. Try it today. 

When it is safe, close your eyes for 2 minutes and do nothing. When you  shut off sight, it heightens the other senses. The mind tends to wander off and you begin thinking about all kinds of things. In preparation for meditating try this. Set a timer for 2 minutes, close your eyes, and be aware of what is happening on the inside of you. You are just noticing.  This is a great way to prac...

I love mornings

You can not control the results only your actions. We often want to control the outcome of things. That is very frustrating. Letting go of the need to control the outcome isn't easy.   Releasing the outcome is so freeing. A healthy brain knows that no matter what the outcome is, it  will be able to handle it.  Release your worry and let things  BE.    &...

I was taught things ending was not always good. Everything ends. Making peace with things that end or are ending, is transformational. What do you need to let of that is ending.

I am not sure I believe in Karma. I do believe that our minds shape our lives. What we think and what we say is how WE behave. What we don't say also is very important too because those words also affect our behavior. Owing our deeper unsaid words reveal what we don't want others to know. These words affect our behavior too. Looking at unsaid words and the reason behind them can be very revealing....

Emotions Trump. Emotions affect every part of our life. Noticing our mood the emotions are stored in our body,  and releasing them helps us feel better. Noticing them releases them and  then we are not carrying them around anymore. What is your mood? What emotions are you feeling? Acknowledge them, feel them and it will help them go away.     I love you. I'm Dan Clark.  ht...

Do you notice things around? Really notice things. Being present and mindful means we are aware of and noticing the things around us. We all have this internal dialogue with ourselves, and it can be very distracting. Right now, look around you and notice what you see. Stop the dialogue and be present and aware. It will help you feel better and will slow your brain down.  I love you. I'm...

Where ever you are, there you are! Yup, that is so true. Often we are not where we really are, because we are somewhere else. Distracted and thinking.

Make your bed, mindfully! Yes Mindfully. I stay at a couple's studio apartment two days a week when I am in Kansas working. There is a twin bed I sleep in.  I leave the apartment better than I find it most days. I  am very mindful of cleaning up behind me. and I make the bed very mindfully. I choose to keep it tidy and straight. When I leave it looks so good! Make your bed today, an...

Wow, I started practicing this and it really works. Standing still for ten minutes. It is not hard to do, but it is so hard to do. This is a  practice of centering yourself and it is done as a meditation technic in the orient. Stand feet shoulder length apart, arms at your side, back straight, and practice being present with your whole body. Notice what you notice about your body as you conne...
