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.

Blue Moon mail art project

BLUE MOON

MAIL ART PROJECT

ROMANIA

 

by Jean Hart

 

It's time to send out my paintings for the Blue Moon mail art project in Romania.

What is a blue moon exactly?

I looked it up and here is what it said:

 

A blue moon is an extra full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year, either the third of four full moons in a season or, recently, a second full moon in a month of the common calendar. Metaphorically, a "blue moon" is a rare event, as in the expression "once in a blue moon".

 

My little painting are only postcard size and perfect for sending through the mail.

Please enjoy my artwork.

These are only a few of the many I'm sending.

Minimalism

Minimalism

 

So what is the point of minimalism?

I went to Seattle and saw some of it at the Seattle Art Museum.

Looking at the one line drawn through a background of blue. I'm thinking, What's this all about?

Am I suppose to be transported to another realm? Am I using this art form to look deeper inside myself? Well, actually, I thought, as an artist, "I'm working too hard if this is whats getting into a serious museum."

Frank Stella once said of his paintings, "What you see is what you see."

Oh, okay, that clears it up.

When and where was minimalism popular, 1960-1975 USA.

Minimalism, because of its very form for having no subject or focal point to keep the viewer interested moved on to Conceptual Art.

Minimalism was a gateway to jump into Abstract and Conceptual artwork. It's place was needed for the cerebral movement to begin. Once people started to view the bold, daring, and emptiness in its simplicity. The viewer could easily move past it on to a piece they then could relate to in abstact form.

Some of the Minimalism artist you may want to look for are:

Carle Andre, Dan Flavin, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd.

Soul Coaching Days

WATER WEEK

CLEARING YOUR EMOTIONAL SELF

Well I will say that with this week of water came rain and snow!!! Just after I took out my sandals and carpi's.

This week is more about cleaning than clearing out. Water traditionally represents emotions, so this week we clear out emotional issues.

During Water Week you will:

1. Explore your emotional life.
2. cleanse your house, office, and car, (I added my purse to this list.)
3. Evaluate your relationships.(I had to get a bigger notebook for this)
4. Communicate from your heart, especially the things that you have been afraid to say.(I wrote a letter to myself and Mailed it!!!)
5. Encourage your inner child to play.(So much fun, went on line to find a new craft to do.)
6. Embrace your childlike wonder.( I went into the kitchen and baked my favorite cake, just because no one else did.)
7. Examine childhood issues.(Again, this is what I needed a big notebook for)
8. Explore your dreams.( I made new dreams, seems with action, and hard work one of my new dreams had already came true, without any ceramony!!! I will not let that happen again.)
9. follow your intuition (I let myself be talked into things....I must trust my instinct and not let anyone talk for me. Learn a hard lesson this week.)
10. Bathe, shower, soak, cleans your body.(facials are fun)
11. check your plumbing ( how does the universe do this, yes my sink plugged up)
12. Drink,drink,drink water
13. It's a very long list, and may I say I did not get through all of it. I find when examining ones emotional life it may take longer than 15 min's a day to write down the answers to all the questions. But, I did give it a good go.
14. 
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
15. "Affirmation for the Day
16. "I unconditionally accept my feeling...and what I feel is not who I am."
17. "My life experiences have positive, powerful meaning."
18. "I am moving into harmony with everyone and everything in my universe."
19. "I am loved and lovable"
20. "In the center of my being, there is always stillness and peace."
21. "My life is blessed, and I am so grateful."
22. "who I am is enough, just as I am."
23. I really love this program, clearing out and cleaning up has to be a good thing. I find that I just don't have enough time to do all the suggestions in one day.
24.  But I have made myself a master list for each day to complete. With each new day one more thing goes on it. I can feel the change beginning. Even more than that there is an acceptance I have not felt before. My foundations are being supported by my inner peace.
25. The book is Soul Coaching, by Denise Linn
26. If you have done this book, share with me. If you want to do this book with me, come along.
27. Be Inspired,
