You’re never going to get to any final place. And so, we want to remind you to relax and start having fun on the way. – Abraham Hicks

We live in such a goal oriented time, where we need to feel productive or be able to show great ability in order to justify doing something, that we can lose sight of doing something for the sheer enjoyment of it, and we feel guilty if we indulge ourselves.

This focus on an end result which is pleasing to others has become hardwired into our existence that is has also become a barrier to many people to try something which interests them.

What if those barriers didn’t matter?

The barriers matter if we believe they matter. If we put aside our barriers, which are really fear based, we may be able to give ourselves permission to step into a life which we really enjoy and which is rewarding!

You’ll never be as young again as you are now, so don’t put off doing the things you really want to do, waiting for a better time!

Our inner doubts stop us from doing many things. Those doubts tell us we probably don’t have any talent anyway, or people will laugh (or call us stupid), or why bother since it might all be a waste of money… are those doubts right?

Really, how will we ever know unless we try? What if we end up liking Yoga, or a cooking class inspires us to cook at home, or a watercolor class develops into a fun hobby, or singing in our car leads us to an open mic night, or taking carpentry workshops inspires us to build toys for kids?

What if?

More good thoughts:
Change the tapes!
Baby steps serve a purpose to allow us to keep moving forward!
Baby steps start the whole change happening!
Teach ourselves to feel positive in order to see more positive things in our lives!!
Red Ocean or Blue Ocean? How do you think?
You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be.
Change how you see and see how you change.
Make yourself strong!
WARNING: This post may be triggering! Instead of getting defensive, say, “Thanks for letting me know your thoughts. I’ll consider them.”
It’s never too late to teach ourselves!
Don’t speak negatively about yourself!!
Stop hating yourself for everything you aren’t. Start loving yourself for everything you are.
Creating Mindful Distance of Thoughts… what’s that?
The power of words
Resilience is knowing that YOU are the only one that has the power and the responsibility to pick yourself up
I do not allow others to influence my thinking unless it is positive or uplifting.
