Uncover. Discover. Discard.

Had to share my favorite all time way to snap out of the doldrums, the pity pot and a sense of entitlement.

When you tune into your emotions and are aware of what your surroundings say about you, observe how it makes you feel. How is your space enhancing or detracting from you? Does it scream GODDESS? or does it let you down?

There’s a lot of me everywhere when I look around. I see objects I love and treasure for whatever reason, it doesn’t have to be important or beautiful to you or anyone else, it’s there to bring me joy.

And then there’s the crap that just needs to go. Or, the stuff that has had its heyday in my heart and must be thanked and kissed goodbye.

So long, cluttered everything drawer, shelf, room. Hello, simpler and organized life.

Rejuvenation is essential to all of life. When it rains, the leaves are washed and the pores and cells are cleansed, opening up for refreshment and moisture. When the sun comes out, photosynthesis occurs and nutrients rise as the stem sucks like a straw and resuscitates growth with direction. When the moon is out, tides obey and regenerate the waving shore. When it snows, the mountains are reawakened with clean white. When it is cloudy, the sky is reanimated with pillowed dots.

For me, rejuvenation is restoration either by stimulation or relaxation but always awake, aware and alive.

Life is wonderful but it can be crappy sometimes. It feels like you’re being supported and then you feel like trouble just follows you everywhere.

You have to weigh the marvelous with the awful in life and spin it so you can move forward and grow or… you can wallow in despair.

When the rose-colored glasses come off, you become authentic because, without pain, you don’t transcend your narrow perceptions.

Be proud of learning from your mistakes, it transformed, informed and shaped you.

She’s not my favorite writer but I do like to listen to her speak. She said, “Choose discomfort over resentment,” when she addressed setting up boundaries for ourselves. It is uncomfortable, but saying NO is actually a self-preservation tool for those who do or care too much for others.

Brown noticed in her research that the most compassionate, wholehearted people had the best and most boundaries. THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON IF YOU SAY NO!!!!!!!

She also proclaims, “Comparison kills Creativity.” Or, as my good friend K says, “Compare, Despair.”

OOOOOOh I was born in July and these four sentences fit me like a glove.
