| Day 12 28 Days to a magnetic life by Sandra Anne Taylor I Love Greek Mythology. This painting is named Narcissus. Do you know the story? I made it a girl, she looks in the water and falls in love with herself. I'm starting to feel just a bit self centered about this journey. It seems its all about me, and how I feel and what I want to do. But, in truth, it is because I have put myself to the sidelines helping others and not taking care of myself that I find myself in this position. Today is about Letting Go of Lack  |
| Narcissus, acrylic, 34" x 36" Jean Hart Intention "Today I am focusing on abundance and letting go of lack. Whenever I catch myself longing for something I don't have, I smile and tell myself: That would be nice, but I don't need it to be happy. I have the option and power to be happy now." Letting go of lack for me is not about material things. For me right now it's about my physical body, its needs, and it limits. The things I look at and want in abundance is physical strength. I look at athletes, and say, I want to do that. It would be nice to run, hike, bike. I don't need it to be happy. But what if I took a chance and I did it, THAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY. I have to let go of the lack in my faith so that I can believe I am strong and I can participate in physical activities. Reflection "A consciousness of lack is a chronic longing for something else. Your obsession with achieving what's missing screams to the Universe that your life isn't valuable or appreciated now. Such a severely negative assumption can only draw more lack, a process that's compounded when you envy what others have. This expands you competitive neediness and makes you even more desperate and miserable." Oh wow, what word jumped off the page for you? The word neediness makes me cringe. Yes, I have found myself envying others strong backs, good knees, working hips. I have to learn to turn this around. A more positive way is to say, I can walk, and do daily chores. I have learned to live with high pain and still move. But it is the neediness that really bothers me. When I first hurt my back, if I dropped something to the floor, it stayed there until Kerry got home to pick it up. Thankfully I'm better now and can pick my own stuff up. But I still need him to drive me to Twin Falls once a week for a Chiropractic apt. So, I must choice to be happy where I am, work on improvements when I can, and maybe test the limits now and again. Affirmations for letting Go of Lack "I am letting go of lack and choosing to see only value from now on. The Universe is abundant, and all that I need is available to me. Here is a gift Santa left for me. Look at these brochures. My reaction was. Are you kidding me? I can't do that!!!  So they have been sitting on the counter and I look at them each day. With some kind of envy I'm looking at these happy people on the brochure and wishing it were me. What's different now? I'm putting me in the picture!! Look at the brochures, what do you see? If you know me at all keep looking at what fate just brought to me. Which one do you think I'm making reservations with today? What's on my list today: 1. I'm going to check out a new yoga studio in my town. Why because I keep saying I can't do yoga. 2. Call to make reservations with High Adventure River Tours 3. Buy big tubs to put Christmas away Be Inspired, ~jean www.zazzle.com/jeanhar!* |

Day 11 29 days to a more magnetic life
HAPPY NEW YEAR
2014
DAY 11
28 DAYS TO A MORE MAGNETIC LIFE
by Sandra Anne Taylor
Good bye 2013 hello 2014
It's gonna be a good year.
So, here we go, I'm still working on 28 days, but, it's taken me longer than 28 days. It's okay, the holidays kept me busy and now I'm ready to go.
Self Acceptance
Intention
"Today I release every single thought of self-judgment or criticism. I free myself from any old, external conditions of self approval. I am valuable and worthy just as I am."
Wonderful, what a great day to start the New Year.
Self acceptance.
Last week, I had one of the best Dr. appt. I've had in years. With my blood work done, I went to see how I was doing. To my surprise, my B/P was near normal, my cholesterol excellent, thyroid perfect, AC1 normal, diabetes's not even on the table anymore.
When I had the heart failure, I was told it would take 2 years for my body to stabilize and correct itself. Well, Dr. Fox, you were spot on!!!
Refection
"You must intervene when you spot thoughts or behaviors that resemble self-judgment or self criticism. On top of making you incredibly unhappy, the refusal to approve of yourself is disastrous to your magnetic attraction."
There is one more thing I need to do, lose 100 lbs. Now I do not think the world needs one more blog about weight loss. So I will not be blogging about my weight loss journey.
Or, atleast not as a main topic.
Self acceptance. It's huge, I'm learning to see life more as problem/solutions instead of problems/challenges.
Activities for Self Acceptance
2. Let go of perfectionism and learn to forgive yourself, both for your mistakes and for your perceived shortcomings. Focus on changing all of your self critical thoughts.
Yes, I like that. Change your thoughts, change your life.
I hear it all the time. You are what you think you are.
I will be working on this one.
Affirmations for self acceptance.
"I am proud of myself and my achievements. I acknowledge the effort I make in my life. "
I've been moving into the new year just like everyone else. I listed all the highlighted things that happened to me in 2013. I looked at that list and I tell you, I truly am blessed.
Not everything that happened was good news, in fact, there seems not to be any good news from a conversation that starts with, "Guess what happened to me today!"
But, pushing on and being a part of my day has brought me a full life.
What's on my list for today:
1. I bought a big grease board, life changes I want to make in 30 days. I plan on writing them on the board and marking them off. I have 3 things I want to change in the next 30 days.
A. cut back to only 2 cups of coffee each day.
B. I am giving up wine for 30 days.
C. only one hour a day on the computer.
2. Self acceptance doesn't mean not tiring hard to maintain healthier habits. So, I'm working on eating, exercising, and working in balance with my day.
3. Making a plan for this years vacation budget. I have lots of places I want to go, but only have limited time and money to do it all wuth. Choices must be made.
Be Inspired,
~Jean

True or False
tips are generally included in the price of Parisian meals?
Answer:
True
Fortunately, service est compris in the price you see on the menu in most French restaurants. While extra tipping isn't unheard of, it is not required or expected. Still, if you want to ingratiate yourself at a place you might visit again, leave an extra euro at a cafe or a few at a restaurant.
When Kerry and I traveled to Seattle, and to Santa Fe, we noticed that the fine dining restaurants were adding on the tip automatically. It's in small print on the menu and if you don't see it you will on the bill. For years restaurants have been adding larger gratuities to large parties, and some will add on a service fee for separate checks.
Bon Appetite
