Do You Hear What I Fear?

Man Running Reaching Finish Line

To advance or retreat – that is the question!

That voice in your head is cuing your emotional and cognitive energy on your vision, keeping your goals within sight to advance towards them, or sounding the bugle to retreat corralling you back to your comfort zone.

Your thoughts have a direct impact on your emotions, sounding the bugle to either help you advance beyond any potential rejection, failure, or ill faced circumstances. OR they can drag you into the pitfall of retreat at the mere semblance of perceived rejection, failure or ill-fated outcome.

When a thought or action empowers you, it amps your energy level. If it doesn’t, you’ll feel the drain, emotionally, cognitively and physically.

HOW and WHAT to do when the fear volume is on loud? Gauge your thoughts. Awareness of what is happening is a huge power tool to consciously redirect fear thoughts. Decide to ZAP those thoughts in their tracks. TAKE FIVE, a five seconds pause for a few deep breaths, to shift gears for tuning in to better, quality thoughts. It’s like placing your hand on the media button to find a more empowering track.

EASY-on ramp? Not initially, but equanimity is a state of mind worth crossing borders to reach – beyond the status quo of anxiety, stress, and retreat. The choice is to focus on the benefits of reaching intended goals and deciding to bypass distractions to transcend obstacles and limitations – real or imaginary. That’s the energizing power of successfully attaining what you challenged yourself to achieve!

Keep practicing, and carry on – progressing forward to your goals – to your success!

Oh, Happy Days!

2010_0103(002)Seasons change, as does our thinking about our ‘what for’ reasons, along the timeline of this Journey of life. The happiness we seek is simply to embrace our uniqueness – however wonderful, quirky, weird or beyond the ‘norm’. By slowing down enough to consciously and deliberately live it all – weaving in the struggle and pain, along with the celebration of triumph and joy. Loving it all, from moment to moment, making this one precious life count, so you can proclaim, ” I LIVED”

Elementary Choice

“It’s complicated” has become a catch-all buzz phrase. Reality is that it’s a choice. In a world of super-sized complexities, simply dividing what appears overwhelming into smaller, manageable parts, reduces even the most complex.

The simplification process often leads to resolution of anything – thus, the adage, divide and conquer. It’s a skill worth mastering, a choice to embrace – one aspect at a time. Simple arithmetic in the warfare on the complex!
