Name 3 things (out of your big to-do list)in a general or specific way that will get your attention today.

Many times affirmations work by merely writing them and letting them go.

Let’s do that with today’s focus.

3 things.

I have added this note…if your focus exceeds 3…that’s ok. Purpose of 3 is to put at least 3 off things/areas which are surfacing in your thoughts …..not only will they get attention…you also are creating more room to be/create

related thread-list in process:
desired-destination-without-detour

1- jogging (done already)
2- packing
3- tidy up the apt

Am going on vacation for 2 weeks :-)

1. great preparation for work, and having a great day there

2. after work doing planning for the next 3-4 days and overview of the remaining part of the month

3. R&R for the remainder of the evening!

1. Schedule EXERCISE TIME (and stick to it)… for the last three weeks I have only worked out twice… for some reason everyone is more important that me???? I forgot to take care of myself… (sorry work. sorry kids. sorry hubby. Mom’s “me” day is coming tomorrow)

2. Schedule some ALONE TIME (oh, don’t even go there how long ago that was!) that isn’t working out or running errands for home / work.

3. Once I am refreshed, it will be time to make my next three month goals. :) Which frogs will I devour and which ones will I marinate??? :) hehehe…

1. School reopens tomorrow. Getting ready for some routine
2. Setting up routine for my nine old daughter
3. Start my breathing exercise again, since I am going to get some alone time from tomorrow.

In response to flowergirl’s post:
thanks for sharing here(: Your list hopefully assists you very very well, and it assists others too (me included) (:

In response to flowergirl’s post:

Thank you both for sharing…
This is a great thread!

So, here are the three things that have my attention:

1. Being open and not being stopped

2. Very new, very immediate: focusing on my core beliefs and shifting old beliefs that hinder me.

3. The sum total of the above two is that I am fulfilled; I feel empowered to create a life that less and less defined my past… And, I am not afraid of LIFE. I am not afraid of aging! I am not afraid to trust. And, I expand my awareness and my life flows! I am not stopped by my Self or by obstacles! If I only have this exact moment, then, I literally, have everything imaginable…

everything imaginable…

this includes miracles that are directly related to forgiveness…

Peace is made around peaceful people…

One more:

My new Daily mantra (this is one mantra, not four, but One…….)

I am Loved. I am worthy. I am safe. I am whole.

1. main hub area of my home- organize
2. eating delicious nutritious food
3. notes for bills,notes created for work,notes for ideas for future dreams
4. get ac repaired & enjoy!

3. affirmations, intentions, and doing what I enjoy… which increases my momentum… for my day ahead(:

1. Work hard
2. Be kind
3. Have fun

2. preparing joyfully for work today
3. eating a delicious nutritious brunch which will create a bit of ‘chosen balance’ from recent holiday feasts (which I had told myself -this doesn’t count there) lol

1) God, giving thanks and praise for the dawn of a new day.
2) Me making sure I am nurturing my body, mind and spirit
3 Helping others, my brothers and sisters in need, being of assistance to them through the church outreach programs.

I wrote this three years ago today. Such a terrible thing. It certainly got my attention!

Sandy Hook….Three Poems—-Poppy

TEARFUL EYES FLOW FREELY

Tearful eyes flow freely
For the newly dead

For the courage of Teachers
Who did the impossible

Hiding students
Behind their greatest fear
Loving them to the last

In their care
You can rest assured
They did their best
To protect and defend

As a war of bullets sound
Hearts stopping
With every round

Slain bodies in the hall,
How do we go on?

True soldiers everywhere
Battling to the death
Innocent children
In pools of blood

How many wars
Must we endure
Before we learn

The war we rage
With assault weapons
Is always
Against ourselves.

NUMB

Numb
Numbing shock
Disbelief

The horror of war
Innocents raped
As projectiles fly

Students and teachers
Cowering in courage

Defying the horror
Eyes forever opened
Battling unarmed
Heroes All

SLEEP WILL COME

Sleep will come
You can close your eyes

The thoughts in your mind
Will keep you awake

Fear of dreaming
Will keep your eyes open.

Exhaustion will settle in
Scars will form

And times later
It will begin again.

3 things which will get my attention today:
1. personal basics re:organization home care & financial
2. personal basics re:exercise & meal planning
3. personal basics re: affirmations, intentions, centering
Cultivate more joy by arranging your life so that more joy will be likely. _{George Witkin}
