Excited with Life

Published April 8, 2013 by Phoenix

Thrilled and excited with life! Because I choose to be. Seek that which will make you smile and keep it close for when you cannot. HMLD *~*

(Without going into the definitions of depression and all the things you can do to help pull yourself out of it, besides drugs, if drugs are necessary…)

Surround yourself with colors that brighten your life. Hot pinks. Bright oranges. Royal purples. Yellows. Lime greens. White. Soft colors of the rainbow work well too. You may love grey, however the brain prefers lighter, brighter colors to enhance moods.

Keep pictures, or items near at hand that bring a smile. A warm blanket or snugly bathrobe for when you need to curl up. Make sure you’ve music available that peps you up or make your own. Gets your hips swinging, your hands to dancing and a laugh to your throat.

Make Some Music

Walk outside and look to the tops of the trees. Looking up brings the spirit up. Write love words and happy words and funny words.

There’s ample ways to lift your smile, your spirit, your outlook on life. Choose a dozen and do a little dance.

YOU are the one deciding whether you’re smiling or frowning, laughing or drowning in tears.

What’s your favorite thing to do to cheer yourself up? Will you share it here and share the post? I’d love to know and so would others. Who knows whom you’ll inspire to smile. :)

Surrender or Go On Vacation

Published April 5, 2013 by Phoenix

Today it’s 46 degrees. Sunday and next week in the 70′s. When you have no control over your environment, surrender or go on vacation. hehehe HMLD *~*

There are times when we simply do not have control. We whine, fuss and worry and create unease and distress in our lives.

Why not try the other options? Surrender or go on vacation to a different clime? Not just giving up, but letting go of what you cannot control. You can control leaving the internal or external environment. Change your thoughts or change your zip code.

Makes for a much better life. One filled with joy and appreciation rather than drama and illness.

Choose vacation?

Thank you for supporting our return this week. Do you surrender, complain or go on vacation?

This is day five and we wish you a wonderful weekend.

Lift the Spirit

Published April 4, 2013 by Phoenix

Viewing powerful architecture or natural vistas lifts the spirits. Sometimes, looking out does help you look within. HMLD *~* HMLD for 04/04/13

Have you ever noticed how when viewing some of the amazing ingenuity of human creation, your jaw just gets slack and your eyes glaze over and your whole body becomes still? That is your spirit saying, “I recognize the greatness within myself as I see it reflected here before me”. At least I think so.

We are all powerful and beautiful and so often hide it in our human experiences. Being human can be such a dirty job, but hey, someone has to do it. Instead of fussing, complaining and filling your life up with the ‘ick’ – look for some ‘awe’ inspiring architectures in your neighborhood, on the web or in a book. Even if you’re in small town no-where, simple homes are pretty amazing. So are dollhouses, bridges and have you really looked at a regular road sign lately? Pretty amazing technology goes into the reflective layers and the precise formula for making sure the brain sees the symbol and colors as an important part of your landscape.

Human and Nature’s Awe Inspiring Awesomeness

If it isn’t architecture you want to see, look outside for something inspiring. Whether mountains, beaches, sunsets or canyons. Surely there’s something amazing to life your spirit to a quiet place of ‘awe’.

When we are inspired by the greatness of nature or human ingenuity, we want to be better and do better – whatever it is we’re about. Look often. Share. Capture those quieting moments like jewels. You surely aren’t jaded enough to think you’ve seen it all.

Explore someone’s brain, like Stephen Hawkins. That man is incredible! We all are awe inspiring. Uniquely ‘me’. You aren’t someone else and THAT is AMAZING! (however, yes, we’re all connected a single being etc etc etc – but I’m speaking to the human experience of separateness here :P ).

Look out to look within and know, you are just as amazing, awe inspiring and beautiful.

Happiness is a heart full of love for…

Published April 4, 2013 by Phoenix

Happiness is a heart full of love for _________. Fill in the blank any given moment because love is happiness and vise versa. (“myself” is a great starter”) HMLD *~* HMLD for 04/03/2013 

Very simply put, when we love ourselves, treat ourselves as we would anyone else we love, it creates a circle of happiness that only grows in it’s intensity.

If the way we love is destructive though, pay attention, loving yourself the way you love others may have unfriendly consequences.

Late 2011, I gave up on depression. Decided I’d had enough. NO WAY was I ever going back to soak in the downers of the thoughts and habits that provoke a vicious cycle. Getting out of my bed on a weekend morning, I decided to fall in love with myself just as though I was loving another.

Love Within

Love Within to Create Happiness

It’s worked wonders. Helps me when sadness comes visiting, or frustrating situations outside my control. Just wrap myself up in a warm glow of orange and pink light and smile that ‘love smile’, as though I’m viewing someone I’m deeply in-love with and focus that energy/thought onto myself. It changes my thinking and body’s response. My shoulders relax. I sleep better. Life has a lot less drama.

Fill your heart with love, happiness is sure to follow. Will you share this post with your friends? Sometimes it’s the little things that bring light into someone’s life.

“Mumbler!” ((quote by Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory))

When our vision is clear,

Our message is clear,

Our heart’s clear,

and our life gets brighter.

“Mumbler!?”

Sometimes it is easier to mumble and keep our paths cris-crossing, to keep ourselves in the dark, shifting back and forth between our stories. We know though, innately where our path is. Where the light is. When we’re willing to step toward our ‘rightness’, our world opens up and life gets easier.

Doesn’t mean there won’t be learning curves, lessons and challenging opportunities. It just means when you keep your vision before you, what needs to be in your path to make it possible, will be.

 

Ask for Help

Published May 24, 2012 by Phoenix

It is OK to get help as you make changes in your life.

Doing it all on your own is a burden you were never meant to bear.

Man with arrows

Don’t have to carry it all alone.

Sometimes, most of the time, we try to ‘handle it ourselves’ when in fact, getting outside assistance can move us along our path much more quickly. We heal faster. We process faster. It keeps depression at bay.

There is love, friendship, advice available whether old school person to person conversations are needed or if you find it via the internet.

Ask. Seriously. Bite the bullet and start asking. You’ll be led until you get the answers you seek.

Dreams

Dreams are what our world is made of.

Trains, planes and automobiles…fashion and homes and decor.

Someone dreamed it.

What are you dreaming of today?

All things we create, write, paint, sculpt.

To this end, what are you dreaming of today that will change your life or the lives of others?

 

HOO-RAH is not Hoo-ha

HOO-RAH is not Hoo-ha, so no

HOO-HA is not

“what they say in the Army.”

Conversation with 12 year old daughter.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

giggle

She said what?

My daughter was trying to say, “horror” and with our Southern tongue it came out rather like, “hawr-er” which cracked me up and as she tried to pronounce it several more times ended up somehow saying, “Hoo-ha”.

Um…

Lots of laughing in the carpool line…

um…

“Honey, don’t say that at school because hoo-ha is your ……….”

“Oh. I thought that’s what the Army said.”

Laughed so hard my sides hurt!

“No, Honey. That is Hoorah, not hoo-ha!”

Bwahahahaaaaaaa

Loneliness and Love

Heart on Sea

Love from within.

I’ve been reading the blog: Daring to Live in Love Weeks 1-8. This one took me by surprise and made so much sense of all I’ve sought throughout my life which has been to share my love, to give my love to ‘someone’. Of course, I can give it to many someone’s on many different levels under many labels. So can you.

If, however, we do not first look within to love ourselves, our weak scary parts and our dangerous parts and our wandering parts, we cannot give our love to another.

Take a chance.

Love yourself first.

You will always be there.

Others will come thereafter and your world will blossom.

Love within and from within ;)
