Moving from Burnout to Inspiration

Moving from Burnout to Inspiration

Happy Tuesday!!!

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

Last week we focused on JOY in Crisis - BE a Stress Eater.  My AHA was: ANYtime something happens differently then I "expect" it to... that is a crisis for me.  I now choose to immediately move into taking action as soon as I feel the unexpected happening.  I do not wait until I am upset or in panic. And, PREVENTION, PREVENTION, PREVENTION is KEY to an inspired life.

Life is a balancing act. 

To lose awareness of where you are at any time

 is to risk falling off the tight wire of life.  Nari

This week we will discuss and practice tools to utilize help you identify your personal stresses and support you in using tools and creating a practice to be inspired at work, at home and in all areas of your life.

Last  Point of Pondering:  "The conquest of the fear of death is the recovery of life's joy." Joseph Campbell

 

Graceful Action:  I will be open to facing the daily deaths of:  who I am, STRONG held beliefs, of things I love, of relationships and of dreams I hold. 

My weekly pondering became a couple of weeks pondering.  This has lead me to question everything in a graceful way instead of my normal highly disciplined make it happen NOW kind of way. I am lovingly putting down the ropes that do not serve my highest purpose.  I choose to come from unconditional love which includes strong, healthy boundaries. I am trusting my heart and Grace to lead the way.

My Current  Point of Pondering:  I am seeing grace as a daily and choice-by-choice practice. Catholic priest Henri Nouwen talks about cultivating practice in daily practice:

Patience is a hard discipline.  It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control:  the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict.  Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something.  Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now new, to be where we are.  When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are.  We behave as if the real things will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else.  Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand.

Graceful Action:  Yesterday I was so clever so I wanted to change the world.  Today I am wise so I am changing myself.  Rumi

I will be patient with me, be focused on fully being in each moment, and see what happens....

Happy Tuesday!!!

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

Last week we focused on Gratitude - The Lifestyle.  My AHA was: I can do simple easy things each and every day to make gratitude my default!!!

Many people mistakenly believe that circumstance make a person.  They don’t.  Instead they reveal him or her.  Wayne Dyer, I Can See Clearly Now

This week we will discuss and practice tools to utilize JOY when crisis strikes to eat stress instead of it eating you!

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends. 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The unthankful heart…discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! ~Henry Ward Beecher

Gratitude or Attitude – The SHIFT

Happy Tuesday!!!

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

Last week we focused on Don't BE the Turkey BE the Dessert.  My AHA was:  No matter how crazy life or people in my life get...it is up to me to do what I need to in order to be the calm in the crazy!!!

"We create a tremendous amount of suffering for ourselves because we are not willing to get off our position of needing to control everything. But until we can see we are doing this, we will just keep doing it in more and more sophisticated ways.” ~Regina Sara Ryan

This week we will:  Lose the attitudes that do NOT support being grateful.  How do you ask?  With forgiveness.  We will be using a process to forgive ourselves, others and look to our healthy future self for support all with music as medicine assisting us.

“We achieve inner health only through forgiveness – the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves." 

Joshua Loth Liebman

This week's Point of Pondering: 

 “Shine Bright” The people who have walked in darkness have seen a great light.  Isaiah 9:2 and Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.  -Proverb

As I pondered these points this week...I discovered MANY people I connected with where pondering them too.  I have done a lot of Buddhist practice in my life especially when I was doing a lot of work with Cancer patients and in Hospice.  One of the most profound exercises I did was meditating about of my own death.  From this viewpoint, I have been able to live fully accepting that everything is impermanent and a blessing.  

 

This week's Point of Pondering:  "The conquest of the fear of death is the recovery of life's joy."  Joseph Campbell

 

Graceful Action:  I will be open to facing the daily deaths of:  who I am, STRONG held beliefs, of things I love, of relationships and of dreams I hold.
