Don't BE the Turkey BE the Dessert

Don't BE the Turkey BE the Dessert

Happy Tuesday!!!

We continue with the  Music 4 Life® GREAT finale to 2014 Dare to BE Happy Challenge.  

Last week we focused on Negotiating Your Holiday Win Win.  My AHA was:  That taking visualization and intention to all areas of my life is what make my life successful, JOYful and happy!!!

You find yourself amazed that the holidays are here and panic struck at the thought of doing one more holiday task or party...you need some inner peace for the holidays.   As my own holiday terror took me in its grip, I took some nice deep breathes and mapped out my action plan to survive this holiday season.  May this help you too.

This week we will:  Support ourselves in staying centered in the the chaos of the holidays while attempting to balance all the things we have to do anyway in our day-to-day life.  I used the quote below last week and it feels right again this week when you remember that so much of the terrorizing we receive in our lives...comes from ourselves!!!

You don’t have to let yourself be terrorized by others people’s expectations of you.  Sue Patton Thoele, Author of The Courage to Be Yourself

This week's Point of Pondering: 

Never again will I do anything for anyone that I do not feel directly from my heart.  I will not attend a meeting, make a phone call, write a letter, sponsor or participate in any activity in which every fiber of my being does not resound yes.  I will act with the intent to be true to myself.”  Oprah Winfrey, What I Know for Sure

Graceful Action:  I will ACT from this stake in the ground.  

 

As I went though my week doing just this I allowed this week’s grace note to come forward not hunt it down…what a concept…allowing grace…

 

On church program this week:  “Shine Bright” The people who have walked in darkness have seen a great light.  Isaiah 9:2 I cut it out and glued it with glitter Mod Podge to the front of a journal where I will ponder.

 

I was looking through a catalog and found this, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.  -Proverb

 

I felt called to share this with someone I was supporting via text…then I thought well if I got it then it must be for me too….

 

This week's Point of Pondering:  Came from the program and proverb above

 

Graceful Action:  This week when I am feeling “in the dark” I will BE and live in faith that I am about to become a butterfly in a new way.

Negotiate Your Holiday WIN-WIN

 

Negotiate Your Holiday WIN-WIN 

Happy Tuesday!!!

We continue with the  Music 4 Life® GREAT finale to 2014 Dare to BE Happy Challenge.  

Last week we focused on Humor at Work - Tapping Into Your Humorous Self.  My AHA was: I can fluidly use humor as a skill and tool in all areas of my life.  I have been working on this for years and I feel like it is a normal part of my life.  YA HOOO!!!

Being torn apart by having too much to do, too many events to be part of and not enough time, money and energy to do it all?  We will be using tools to support your setting healthy boundaries and having meaningful, joyful experiences during the holidays.  What a concept!  Let’s make it your reality!!!

This week we will:  Visualize your ideal holiday season, say no with grace, spend your time/money/energy in ways that improve your life, use your creativity to gift others, create a holiday intention, and negotiate a WIN WIN for you and all involved!

Happily Yours, Amy

Last Week: My question and action were about making decisions (See below).As I went through my week, I found it easy and easy to be an optimistic criticalthinker and be very present to making a decision from where I am and who I am and not on what BAD out come could happen. This allowed for grace to appear in feeling clear in my decisions and actions.

Point of Pondering:  "Whenever I'm forced with a difficult decision, I ask myself: What would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake, feeling rejected, looking foolish or being alone?" Oprah Winfrey, This I Know for Sure

Graceful Action:  I will BE with this question as I make my decisions this week.

This Day/Week’s topic in Music 4 Life® Circles is Boundaries at Work, on Tue Oct 28 at 4pm and Wed Oct 29 8am.  

Happily Yours, Amy

My Ponderings....

I have been reflecting on my normal way of being, my set point of being a "workaholic" in all I do (since a young girl taking care of my four sisters) .  The last few years my focus has been about how can I set boundaries with grace, do work of purpose with grace and BE grace in all I do.  

Today I start my Grace Notes to help me and anyone else who wants more grace in life and in work.

Point of Pondering:  "Whenever I'm forced with a difficult decision, I ask myself:  What

would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake, feeling rejected, looking foolish or being alone?" Oprah Winfrey, This I Know for Sure

Graceful Action:  I will BE with this question as I make my decisions this week.

Happy Tuesday!!!

We continue with the  Music 4 Life® GREAT finale to 2014 Dare to BE Happy Challenge.  

Last week we focused on Boundaries at Work.  My AHA was: Get clear on what I want then set boundaries around that in all areas of your life.  The first boundaries are with ME!

You’ll be on your way up!  You’ll be seeing great sights!

You’ll join the high fliers who soar to great heights.

Except when you don’t.  Because, sometimes, you won’t.

Dr. Seuss Oh, the Places You’ll Go

This week we focus on Harnessing the Power of Change.  We will dance with the common reactions to change, why are we (you...me) fearful of change, some common stages of change, principles of change, some processes that help you to harness the power of change. 

With Change we step into the unknown, where everything both wonderful and terrifying is possible!!!
