WEEKLY RECAP August 3rd-9th, 2019 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, August 3rd (AM) A lot of the time, so much is going so wrong in our lives, that we don't think to frame the signs and symptoms of our potential improvement in practical, real-world terms. | | |
|
| | Saturday, August 3rd (PM) Change requires us to be very clear about what is real, what exists, what is fact...because if we don't radically accept what IS--even if we don't like it--we cannot move on to what could be. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, August 4th (AM) You may or may not have the skills and tools to build the life you want right now. It's just a fact. We often don't have the resources we need to create what we want. It doesn't mean we can't create. | | |
|
| | Sunday, August 4th (PM) Listen to yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be real with yourself. Give yourself at least as much attention and care as you crave from others. Charity starts at home. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, August 5th (AM) Don't get bummed out because you're not in control of everything. | | |
|
| | Monday, August 5th (PM) If you want it, you're going to have to focus on it...and not just on the good stuff. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, August 6th (Blog) "WE ARE NOT SIMPLISTIC CREATURES." It’s a mistake to try to oversimplify complex behavior issues—either in ourselves, or in others. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, August 6th (PM) We put all kinds of pressure on ourselves--usually unnecessary pressure--when we tell ourselves we have one shot, so we'd better get it right the first time. We can have a bad day. Most of the time there's another day happening within twenty-four hours. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, August 7th (AM) Are we open to learning from our experiences-really learning? It's sometimes not as easy a question as we think it is. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, August 7th (PM) Yes, you've had frustrations in your life. You've had pain, you've had setbacks, you've experienced self-sabotage. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, August 8th (Blog): “WE NEED TO STEP UP AND CHOOSE EVEN IF THE OPTIONS SUCK.” Our choices in life are usually limited. That’s a fact. There’s no point in denying it. That doesn’t mean we don’t HAVE choices, however. | | |
|
| | Thursday, August 8th (PM) Think for a sec: what was an example you've seen, recently, of someone being awesome? Someone being kind? Someone being supportive? Someone being generous? Maybe it was you. Maybe it was someone you know. Maybe it was a stranger. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, August 9th (AM) If you're depressed, it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It doesn't mean you've failed. It doesn't mean you're defective. | | |
|
| | Friday, August 9th (PM) Lots of people make themselves quite miserable by telling themselves they "should" do, think, or feel something...without asking themselves, "why?" | | |
