Last  Point of Pondering:  BE with Grace as she comes not judging that is fair or unfair but KNOWing what is happening or not happening is for my highest good.  

It has been a challenge to stay in faith that all is for highest good... no matter what it looks like.  I have found the serenity prayer and the book Codependence No More have very helpful in accepting what is not mine and letting go; while seeing what is my work and doing that with 100% commitment.  

My Current  Point of Pondering:   "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."  Rumi

Graceful Action:   This week I will keep asking for any barriers to BEing love in all I do be gracefully released.

Are you AGGRESSIVE?

Are you being assertive or aggressive?

            Aggressive:  Expressing your feelings, needs and ideas at the expense of others.  Getting your way no matter who it hurts.  Usually ends up separating self from other people and can cause frustration and bitterness.

           

            Assertive:  Expressing your needs, feelings and ideas and standing up for legitimate rights in a way that doesn’t violate others.  Going for the win win.  Acting assertively reinforces your good feelings about yourself, improves self-confidence, and leads to freer, more honest relationships with others.

What can you do to be Assertive? 

ü  Know that you have the right to express your needs, wants and wishes.

ü  Express yourself when you are angry or upset.

ü  Take steps to change conditions you don’t like or persuade others to change them.

ü  In conflict, focus on the issues not the personalities.

ü  Trust others and expect to be trusted.

ü  Allow others to express how they feel.

ü  Be reliable and trustworthy.

ü  Be consistent in what you do and what you say.

Your assignment is to take steps to be assertive.  What is one small step from the list above that you can do this week?

It has been a while since I last posted... I have been out looking for myself... I'm BACK!!!

Last week I started being the business expert on the The EMG Radio Show - a talk-show that discusses arts and entertainment, business, community, health, policies and more.  The show is broadcasted on 91.5 The Rebel - HD2, KUNV Las Vegas, The Broadcast Service of UNLV.  Listen on Mondays from 4 - 6 p.m. 

Last week I started talking about Handling Difficult People... which lead us to the topic of listening...

The homework was: 

Identify those things that you think might be going on for you when you are attempting to listen:

I’m judging the speaker.

I’m judging myself.

I’m thinking of how I should respond.

I’m trying to make a good impression.

I’m fixated on forcing a particular outcome.

I’m on the defensive.

I’m making the speaker wrong.

I’m making myself wrong.

I’m gaining evidence for how I’m right.

I’m busy trying to protect myself.

I’m trying to control the conversation to go a certain way.

I’m trying to fix a perceived problem.

Ask yourself several times a day, “What is going on within me when I am listening to others?

Happy Tuesday,

Music 4 Life® New Beginning Dare to BE Happy Challenge and our focus for April is Spring Forward.

Last week we talked about Harnessing the Power of Change.  My AHA was: In all change, something is lost and something is found.  I honor the grief that comes with any change as real time as I can.

This week we will support you with Designing Your DaVinci Notebook!
