Transformed Life 2 Min Encouragement

You can choose the emotion you want to have! The model you have about how life creates your emotions.  When someone cuts you off while driving,  you get mad. However, if you knew they were rushing to the hospital because they have a dying child, you would not be so upset. When you rewrite the story your emotions change.  I Love you.

It's just true! Yes, it is just true. It is. We can not change the weather, the date, what others are doing, and anything out of our control. Learning to accept as true the things you have no control over helps release the anxiety inside you. The ability to accept things as true gives more control over what you can change.  Transformational living begins with accepting that you can't cha...

Do you often feel like you have to defend or explain your yes or your no? When was the last time you said yes, or no, and let that be the end of it! Raising children can be tough because they might need some details however when you are explaining or defending your decisions, it creates drama. Learning to let your yes and no be simply yes or no can be so freeing. Giving detail about the yes is not...

Winter in the midwest - snowing - fireplaces - football and hot chocolate!  What a wonderful time of year. Lazy Sunday. And the time to connect with someone you love. I've mentioned this before and I want to mention it again. This time is so important to reach out to those you know and share your love and care for them. Today text call zoom or facetime someone and tell them how much you love...

I like you!  How often do you hear someone say that to you? Saying "I like you" isn't something we hear very often. Want to improve the quality of your relationship? Start talking about your EXPERIENCE. Telling someone directly that you like them or that you are enjoying the time with them is very endearing. Today let's share more often what you LIKE about the person you are with!@ I Lov...

Having a vision for someone is like holding space for them, believing  they can become their best self. I have a written vision for many people  in my world@ They don't know I do, because it is not about them. It is  about how I see them. Victor Frankel, a psychiatrist from the Nazi War  Camps wrote this in his book. What you believe about someone tends to be  the person t...

What do you like about your LIFE?  What are things you LIKE about your  life? Thinking about the things we like isn't something we do very  often. So. lets ponder the likes of life. Gratitude and appreciation for  the things we have is important. However, here I am saying to ponder  what you LIKE about your life. Make a mental list of your likes and  share it with som...

The ONE BIG MOVE! If this ONE thing happened my life would be so much  better! This is the idea that one thing would change our lives. Often  this means we feel something outside of our selves will create the life  we want. A BIG MOVE can have an impact on your life, however the daily  small things you do have more affect on change. What are you doing daily  to change who...

I love the Allstate insurance commercial with the cars that have items  on the top of them they forgot about! I did that that other day. Put our  beagles in the truck and as I drove off I heard this noise on top.  Well, the drink didn't fall off, but it was empty! Being distracted is  very easy for all of us. My thought today however, is where are you  distracted about you...

We all want to be  successful. How do you plan success? Having success  markers, like having three words that are markers of how successful you  are being are important. It gives clarity to your future goals. I chose  "I am an influence, I am humble, and I am vulnerable." "Influence,  Humble and Vulnerable". When you choose three words they will help guide  you t...

Social interaction! Do you have clarity on how you interact with the  world?  When we are clear and concise on our social interactions,  whether it be family or friends, it puts us in the driver seat! My three  words are "I am kind, I am present, and I am a good listener."  "Kind,  Present and I listen" Today choose three words you will use to define  h...

" I am choosing to have a wonderful day" Say that to your self a few times today. Your words have such an affect on your day. Being a realist,  often the language what is true in the moment.  It's a rainy day and I don't like it or I don't want to go to work. Even if you feel this way, the words add to the emotions you already have. Creating your world is using real words that tell the r...

“Let’s choose a new way to think. I’m having these emotions because I am choosing to change. These emotions are all passing away and soon I will have a new set of emotions. This new set is emotions will be the result of conscious choice, not random experiences.  It’s exciting to know I can create my future self !”

Worry free Tuesday. Yes, let's declare today as Worry Free Tuesday.  Worry is your mind predicting an outcome that is not pleasant. Worry is  you deciding that you can't handle the future.

What does living life to the fullest mean to you? I am almost convinced  that the choices we don't make have more of an effect on us than the choices we do make. What we don't say, don't do can prevent you from having a fulfilling life. Life is about being in the moment. What are you not doing that something inside you is prompting you to do? Fear is not our friend. Call that friend? Take tha...

I am on this meditation theme and I don't want to get off it just yet.  You meditate all day long. You think and rethink and think again about the things that bother you. You repeat to your self words and feel the same emotions, and do the same behaviors almost every day. This routine  is learned, and meditation is designed to give you more control over thoughts so you can more easily mo...

Meditation has become the cornerstone of feeling more alive, present,  and worrying less. Like not being good at sports, once you think you can never do something or you try and it seems too hard, the tendency is to quit. Your brain is a muscle. If you exercise your arms by lifting weights, your muscles will get stronger. there is less skill in lifting weights. Meditation is more difficult be...

Meditation has become a way of life for me. Google Dr. Joe Dispenza when you get the chance. He has some amazing information on how to  meditation and it's value. I don't meditate every day, but do at least 5  days a week. Sometimes I do an hour or more, and sometimes only 10 min.  I even meditate in the middle of the day. Meditation is best defined as  knowing what you are thi...

Who are your best friends and what do they say about you? what do you say to your friends when you are not happy about something? Do you complain or don't talk. Complaining or keeping it all in does not work.  Try this: talk about the AFFECT events have on you, not what they are  doing. It frees your mind up. No drama. Just say "I don't like this " or  use similar words  a...

You are not your past!  That is true. You are not the accumulation of your past experiences. You are not a bad person because you failed a  test, lost a friend, lost a loved one, wrecked your car, or get angry.  You are a human being who can think for themselves, choose your friends,  choose to smile, and choose to not judge. You have lots of choices. And you can choose to...

I just finished the book "Tiny Habits" by J B Fogg. He is a researcher  at Harvard and has been teaching and perfecting this principle for over  30 yrs. He says to start small. Two push-ups for a week. Next ten and so  on. And do them with a habit you already have. Like when you get up in  the morning, right after you go to the bathroom, do a small habit. What kind of tiny habi...

I believe there absolute truths. Let me explain. Absolute is something you cannot deny. Relative truth is how you feel about the absolute. What  I like about the couch is my relative or relationship truth with the couch. then I might like it. You might not like the color but it's still a couch. Here is my promise. When you focus on absolute truths, there are a lot fewer emotions.  &...
