The Third Season of Change, Reclaim Your Power

Third Season of Change
Wisdom Cards
Caroline Myss
 
"Reclaim Your Power"
 Today's Lesson:
Note one reason why you give away power in your everyday life,
 and then ask yourself if that situation is worth losing your peace of mind over."
I give away a little piece of myself every time I paint, and then ask "What Do You Think?"
There is a little bit of me that still thinks,
" I can't believe I get to paint all day and people buy my artwork."
I am very blessed that way.
Artwork is not all of me though.
After I gave up my job, I had to start thinking about my worth in a whole new way.
 If I could not bring in an income.
 "What is my worth?"
Awe....goes the story.
 My worth can not be measured in money.
The things I do, contribute to, belong too, make, participate in, maintenance and enjoy.
I am reminded of a song India Arie sings.
I am not my Hair
 
I love her songs. If you need a little confidence boost, go to YouTube and start listening to her songs.
Redefine who you are, rethink who you are, stop the expectations.
My power lays in my heart, my mind, and enthusiasm for life.
Your Goal: to reclaim your power in a positive and mindful way."
I will leave you today to think about this one. It is a serious topic for me.
Since I like lists, I have given myself a challenge to come up with four things.
reclaiming my power for me will have to be on the level of
1. physical
2. mental
3.spiritual
4. financial
I have complied a list of words that I would like to describe myself with, and a promise to start marking down my likes and dislikes. I think there is something powerful in saying, I like this, I don't like that. It's positive, mindful, and firm.
My list is clear. My dedication is strong. My determination is powerful.
Be Grateful for what you have.
Be Inspired,

The First Change

Change, Transformation, reinvent.
What ever I'm calling it, it's time to started working on it.
today's lesson:
Change.
Find one small thing that you've been wanting to change , but haven't yet. It should be something that will change your life.
My goal here is to improve my life. Feel alive, strong, healthy and adventurist.
I postpone the very things I need to do. I like a good rut.
I know that if I change one thing, it will ignite many changes around me.
Do you know what the Butterfly Effect is.
Taken from the Wise Geek
"The butterfly effect is a term used in chaos theory to describe how small changes to a seemingly unrelated thing or condition (also known as an initial condition) can affect large, complex systems. The term comes from the suggestion that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in South America could affect the weather in Texas, meaning that the tiniest influence on one part of a system can have a huge effect on another part. Taken more broadly, the butterfly effect is a way of describing how, unless all factors can be accounted for, large systems like the weather remain impossible to predict with total accuracy because there are too many unknown variables to track."
So, yes, a small change that I make will change my very life as I know it.
I'm ready to change a few things.
Here is a very small list I'm putting on my to do list today.
1. registering for a pottery class
2. signing up for the city pool
3. Semi vegan dinners are being planned
4. using only cloth bags.
5. getting personal items out of the living room and dining room. (seriously, that ones huge)
I have not seen this, but it's on my list. It's a movie about the Butterfly Effect. Read the review to see if it's something you may want to watch. Looks like a suspense, action, thriller.

The Key to this is to do small changes at a time.
