The fun of Halloween – costumes, and trick or treating!

October 30th, 2008 06:39 am by Carol

So it’s the time of year for costumes, candy, and trick or treating. We put on costumes to become a different character for fun. Kids are out knocking on doors to get treats and if they don’t get them, then come the tricking part. I invite you to look at these Halloween traditions in a new light and continue having fun with them, just in a different manner.

Each day as you dress, costume yourself in truth as the successful, intelligent, kind, loving, giving person that you are and be the character of your highest good.

 

Trick yourself out of any false beliefs you might be carrying around on fear, lack, and judgment.

Treat yourself gently and lovingly in mind, body, and spirit.

Costume Quote

  Trick Quote

  Treat Quote

For the next week, I invite you to costume yourself:
In a big smile that tells everyone just the amazing person you are.
In an outfit of confidence and stay in awareness that you are the confidence you dressed in today.

For the next week, I invite you to trick yourself:
That worry is an old pattern of thought until it no longer has a hold on you as you truly feel all is well.
That you are worthy of greatness until it becomes your new belief that you are great.
That today is where you start living your life fulfilled until it becomes a new pattern that each day is a day of fulfillment.

For the next week, I invite you to treat yourself:
To a nice hot bubble bath
On a long walk admiring the fall changes in nature
To inspirational reading material, a funny story, or something that expands your mind
To the idea that a ‘perceived’ failure is simply a practice shot.
To some quality time for just you to sit with you and enjoy it – not thinking about what is next in the day, but rather what is right here now – your SELF.

 

Mostly, I invite you to live your highest self of peace, happiness, abundance, and love. Forgive yourself for past costumes you wore on fear, lack, and distrust. Appreciate your experiences and celebrate each choice, even the very small ones that you make on stepping into your truth of goodness, kindness, and love.

 

Until next week, enjoy the treats of being you.

Hugs,
~Carol

Someday

October 23rd, 2008 04:52 pm by Carol

NEWS FLASH: Someday I will be happy. Someday I will be physically fit. Someday I will have my dream job. Someday my prince will come. Some day my princess will come. Someday I will (fill in the blank with your someday wishes).

I’m sure each of you have felt the someday wishes at some point in your life, and most likely hold onto them today. I’ve sure played the someday game myself. Today just isn’t that day to start on happiness, health, abundance, as I’m just to busy. Or I’ve already messed up today, so I’ll start tomorrow.

NEWS FLASH: Today IS someday. Today IS the moment to begin your someday wishes. Today IS the day that if your someday wishes falter a bit, that you move through it and continue on your path of living life fulfilled. Today IS that day, so make it your best ever.

Quotes of the day:

“Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and then we’ll need no other light.” ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.” ~ George Washington Carver

“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll’ philosophy.” ~ Dennis Waitley

“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” ~ Wilma Rudolph

For the next week, I invite you to make everyday your someday by:

Forgiving yourself for delaying your dreams because you are to busy to start, you’ll start tomorrow, next week, next month.

Appreciating your current situation and seeing the beauty in it. Appreciation and gratitude builds on more appreciation and gratitude which makes each day better.

Starting right now; at this very moment you can start creating your dreams. Even if your morning wasn’t a great start to creating your dreams, let that go and start fresh now. Why wait until another day, start now.

Being gentle with yourself as we all have moments of doubt and fall back to our prior beliefs that we aren’t good enough for our dreams and delay creating them so we don’t fail. Simply know each step forward is a step towards living that dream.

Mostly, my wish for you is to realize you can start living life fulfilled at this very second. You don’t need to wait for a new day, a new month, and a new season. This very moment is your someday, so dream big, love big, and live big.

Until next time, I see all of your days being bright, happy, and filled with love and I invite you to see that too.

Hugs,
~Carol

Loving You

October 15th, 2008 09:34 am by Carol
Did you know it’s easy to love you? Let me tell you how. I love the fact that you give each day your very best. I love that if you seemingly falter, that you continue to forge ahead and not let it get the best of you. I love that you take risks and step outside the box. I love your smile. I love your laugh. I love that you care for others. I love that you see life filled with opportunities. I love that you give yourself a break when you are having a challenging day as you know it’s just a moment of time.
 
Your family and friends can find many reasons to love you. My question is, do you love yourself? We’ve all felt unworthy or not good enough at some point in our lives, so when you feel that way, do you realize it’s simply normal? No reason to not like yourself for that. We’ve all had moments we could have done or chosen differently, so when you feel that way, do you realize that is simply normal? No reason to not like yourself for that. We’ve all had moments of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, so when you feel that way, do you realize that is simply normal? No reason to not like yourself for that. I say it’s normal to love yourself. Try it, you might actually like it.

Quotes of the day:
 
 “The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.”
 ~ Carl Gustav Jung

   
“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”
 ~ Oscar Wilde
 
“The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man’s own eyes when they look up his own person.”
 
 ~ Alexander Pope
 
“Self-love is not opposed to the love of other people. You cannot really love yourself and do yourself a favor without doing people a favor, or visa versa.” 
 ~ Dr. Karl Menninger

For the next week, I invite you to love yourself by:
 
Forgiving yourself for the not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, old/young enough, thin enough, strong enough feelings you’ve held about yourself. There is no other one like you, so recognize your uniqueness.
 
Saying YAY ME for everything you feel you are good at no matter how small it might seem to be. What you find easy to do is another person’s challenge, so recognize what you are good at.
 
Being proud of your accomplishments as being proud of yourself is not diminishing another’s talents. It is you and I, not you or I.  Recognize your accomplishments.
 
Being gentle with yourself when you have setback by simply knowing the amazing person you are and that you always thrive.
 
Mostly, my wish for you is to love yourself so you can recognize the special gifts you are here to share. Fill yourself up with respect, integrity, compassion, humor, kindness, and love. When you are filled to the rim, is when you can overflow all of those qualities to those you love and share your talents with the world.
 
Until next week, loving you is easy, I hope you see that.
 
Hugs,
~Carol
