Staying Positive in Today's Crazy World

 

HOW TO STEP OUT OF THE CRAZINESS

Are you finding it difficult to stay positive in today's crazy world?

No matter who you are, or what your situation is as the craziness plays out in the world, when you're in the middle of it, it's always unsettling, and can lead you to become frozen in inactivity and inertia.

When you focus on the uncertainty in the future, you can be left feeling stuck and unmotivated to take the steps needed to enjoy and move your own life ahead.

What makes you tense is your focus on the future. You fear what won't happen that you want to have happen, or you fear what will happen that you don't want to happen.

How do you step away from the craziness? You change from being future tense to staying in present ease.

When you find yourself overwhelmed due to fixating on the future it's time to stop, take a breath, and ease back into the present. Get off the future tense worry track. Take a day off from thinking about 'the situation', and engage in activities that bring you back to enjoying the present.

Lightarted Living: Goodbye Sweet Hermione

Lightarted Living: Goodbye Sweet Hermione:   For Brad Edwards 

Goodbye Sweet Hermione

 

For Brad Edwards

Hermione

Full of good spirits;

Healer of the heart.

You were so soft and tender.

A fluffy ball of energy and love.

You were always so kind and loving, 

you always made my day sweet.

Goodbye my sweet girl 

who was with me for so long

lying in my lap and at my feet.

Planted in my Life

Hermione, when you were planted in my life, 

you sowed the seeds of love and joy for oh so many years. 

Comfort and companionship blossomed for me

when you put your roots down in my life.

You brought me brightness and light.

Now I hold you deep in my heart

and still feel the weight of you sitting on my lap

as I drink my morning coffee

and think of you. 

Goodbye my fluffy little Hermione.

For Brad Edwards, with tender regards

Goodbye to the Softest of Muzzles and Eyes

 

Goodbye to Kashmir

Underneath the wreath

Floating softly in my memories

is the softest of muzzles nudging me.

Soft and tender eyes say goodbye to me.

Kashmir, my old soul.

You carried me for years and  healed my soul.

You always greeted me with the softest of eyes. 

I'll miss you, my love.

Lightarted Living: What Your Shadow Knows

What Your Shadow Knows

 

The Shadow Knows...

Everything!

Your Shadow Knows the Dark Place is for Rejuvenation

We all have our moments of slipping into the shadows of the dark and dank places dripping with those deep, dark thoughts niggling away at our trust in the future, ourselves, and our lives. 

In those moments when we first discover we're hiding out in life's shadows, licking our wounds and anticipating the worst, our outlook on life takes a turn for the worse. But it doesn't have to remain that way.

If we dig deep enough in the dark place, we discover 'The Shadow does know', and rather than the shadow being a hiding place it is a resting place where rejuvenation can happen.

The Shadow Knows...

No Worries!

Just What IS it 'The Shadow Knows'?

If you dig deep enough when you're hiding out in the shadows of life, you just might discover 'The Shadow' knows the true secret to letting go of fear and getting on with living.  And what is that secret?

"Everything is SECRETLY Okay."

The Shadow Knows...

You Are Safe

Resting in the shadows you discover:

💓Everything is secretly okay.

💓Love is everywhere.

💓You are loved.

💓You are safe.

💓Life is good.

💓No worries.

The Shadow Knows...

Your Song

Lee Bryant and Susan J Meyerott

Your Maestro of Life 

Once we accept our shadow self as a place to rest and recuperate, rather than as a place to hide and brood, we can find our way back to a more harmonious existence.

Learn to turn that dank and dark place into a cool, and shaded place. Let your inner shadow lead you to rediscover your optimism and belief in life as you bask in the shade and rest awhile.

Rediscover your heart song by sitting quietly and listening until it comes to you. 

As I sat quietly the other day listening for the song, out wafted snippets of a Karen Carpenter song from so many years ago....

💓Sing, Sing a Song

💓Sing out Loud

💓Sing out Strong

💓Sing of Happy (not sad)

💓Sing of Good Times (not bad)

Make the leap from living in the dark place to living in the shaded place. Find your voice to sing your song out loud and strong. Find your way to sing of happy and good times.

What Secret Does Your Shadow Know?

What are you an attractant for in life?

When you listen quietly, what secrets are revealed to you?

What shadow are you casting on life?

When you look for them--what are your happy and good times to inspire you to create more of them?
