Thriving at sixty

An interesting and rewarding exercise for today may be to examine all the things that are hurting YOU at the moment.  Challenge their validity to see if there is any basis for your bitterness or for that dread and fear.  You will  probably discover, to your delight, that you have, right at this moment, more than enough reasons to be happy and contented. Even if it was meant to hurt, it cannot reach the real you , If you  stand guard at the door of your mind! The root of my suffering is rarely about what happened and its about what I made what happened mean about me, about it about them What am I not doing that I need to do? What am I not saying that I need to say  So I can be complete about what happened so I can move on and move forward.? What is the cost to me and others around me to hold onto resentment ?

Be Good To Yourself! What does that mean?  Letting go and letting God! Shrug off hurts! Vey little that happens in my daily encounters is worth my worry, resentment, or feeling sorry for myself.  If I am always ready to take offence and be hurt, I’m selling my contentment very cheap.  I must remember to be good to myself! Do you open old wounds by dwelling on the past? Life isn’t always fair who ever said it would be?  Did you know that you can be victimized and you don’t have to be a victim.  If my past keeps being in my future there is a predictable way my life will unfold.  If I deal with my past, get complete about my past and use if to free me up. All there is , is endless possibilities.   I don’t want my past to define who I am NOW!

This Podcast will tell you what not to do! Have you ever been followed  by someone because they are in a road rage?  There definitely is crazies out there that try to intimidate, threatened and frighten you. I discovered two wrongs do not make it right.  My happiness is an inside job and if I catch myself reacting to someone else behaviour I need to look at why I’m being triggered and deal with my internal state. Let go and let god Say the serenity prayer and look at what am I committed to and take actions from that commitment not act out of feelings and thoughts.

Have you ever noticed that when you focus on the solutions rather then the problems things go much smoother? Are you one that would rather complain then confront the person you need to about the problem and make powerful requests to make the problem resolved or at least get compensation for the mistake that was made? Would you rather be anger and resentful or be the powerful person you are and ask for restitution?

First look at why you want to expand ?  Is it becomes you want to grow and learn?  Do you want to make a difference, leave a legacy behind.  I want to be known as a person who burnt out not rusted out.  I want to leave this earth knowing that I shifted someone’s perception for the better. Then start looking at where do you want to expand.  What actions would you need to take.  One simple one is sharing with as many people as possible so your community of people are enrolled in what you are up to.  You don’t have to know how to accomplish your goal just share.  Out of sharing someone might offer a suggestion that could alter your life, alter your actions.  As human beings all we want to do is contribute to one another, so start sharing. Would having an accountability partner help?  Make some requests.  I have three accountability partners where I listen to what they are up to and then listen to what I am up to. We say what we are going to do and by when.   email me and and share  WHAT DID YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT THIS PODCAST?

The lobster soft mushy animal lives inside a rigid shell.  That rigid shell does not expand.  How can the lobster grow?  As the lobster grow that shell becomes very confining and the lobster feels itself under pressure and uncomfortable.  It goes under a rock formation to protect itself from predators.  He casts off his shell and produces a new one.  Eventually that shell becomes confining and uncomfortable.  The lobster goes back under the rocks.  The lobster repeats this numerous times.  The Stimulus for the lobster to be able to grow is that it feels uncomfortable.  In todays society when we feel uncomfortable we want to numb those feelings with drugs or alcohol then you never get to cast off your shell and grow a new one. We have to realize that at times of stress these can be times that are signals for growth.  If we use adversity properly we can grow through adversity.

Happiness is an inside job!  FEAR is false evidence appearing real.  Allow others to love you until you can love yourself. feelings are not always based on reality.  They are like clouds they come and go.  We have feelings and we are not our feelings. When we have negative thoughts and feelings they are always from our past and are not based on reality NOW THANK GOD FOR GIRLFRIENDS! BE GRATEFUL, there is always something to be grateful for regardless of our circumstances.  It could be that you are breathing.

What are your triggers that lead up to being in a blue funk?  I know one of my triggers is thinking life shouldn’t be this way! Another thing is when I take life too seriously, myself or others. Do you take things personally and then hang on to the hurt, rehashing over and over? Do you focus on old negative conversations that for sure will keep feeding the blue funk? Are you holding onto resentments and hurts? SUBSCRIBE TO MY PODCAST AND RATE IT A NUMBER 5 email me! tell me what you like best about this podcast! KEEP THRIVING! WENDY B    

I think it is great that we are learning that there are many things we can do with people who accept they have Dementia. I believe,first of all, is acceptance and then we can learn what structures these people need to keep living independently Dementia rocks everyone’s life, the patient and their loved ones so I think its important to learn as much as we can. Their emotional feelings stay with them much longer than anything else, so its important to make them feel safe.  If you can have them in familiar surroundings and with familiar things they love including pictures of loved ones.  Its really important to have family and friends visit them even if the patient doesn’t seem to recognize individuals but they recognize the emotions that persons brings to them and it brings a sense of love and safety.

Do You have family traditions over holidays or special occasions?  If you have are you willing to look at are they nourishing the family making you feel closer?  Or are they a lot of work and only a couple of people have to do all the work to maintain them? If you have traditions what are your favourites?  If you don’t would you like to have some and what would they be?  I personally think traditions can bring us closer and the simpler the better.  If they are not nurturing and they are becoming burdensome, are you willing to let them go and start new ones that would bring you closer?
