It's Been So Long

Do you have high expectations of your self?  Do you think this stops you from trying/completing things?

I am my own worst enemy. The bar I set myself is so high. It takes me forever to design things. 

I do understand that we are our own greatest enemy. We are so critical of ourselves. 

I just read this great article:

https://www.elephantjournal.com/2017/03/sharing-my-struggles-letting-go-of-perfect/

This article talks about putting yourself out there. Really we have nothing to lose. 

“My whole life I’ve done that. I’ve been so hard on myself. I needed my hip replacement because of bone degeneration. I didn’t eat right and ended up here, all because of external judgment that I had internalized. All out of fear.”

Your belief in yourself has to supersede your current state of success.

That’s what Gandhi’s famous words, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world,” really mean.

I did enjoy the article. Click on the link above.

Thanking you.

2016 Goals - Really

Resolutions:

Do you set them?  Do you achieve them?

Me = probably not.

This year will be different.  I will set intentions.



Why do I fail, because I fail to plan.

Setting Intentions rather than Resolutions.

Setting Intentions. I like setting intentions for the year rather than goals as often goals are not being reached and then people use them to beat themselves up with by the end of the year. Intentions, on the other hand, are gentler and allow for fluidity and forgiveness. :) If you want to set goals instead of intentions, by all means go ahead! :)

What I've done is to complete an intentions envelope and is to be placed in my Journal.  I got a piece of paper 10" square, but it could be smaller.  I had in my head that it would fold down to 5" but its larger.

I folded each corner into the centre, creating an envelope with your "intentions" written on the inside. You can decorate the outside however you please.  I have used the new Charlotte Paper.  This paper is great as you can independently colour in the flowers.
