★Remember the Fundamentals

Fundamentals

Let’s remember the importance of the fundamentals. We sometimes become so familiar with an idea or concept we take it for granted. I know I am guilty of this, but was just reminded of it by a tape I was listening to. The importance of it hit me so hard that I added the word “Fundamentals” to my bulletin board and decided to get out of bed and add this post. I have been neglecting the fundamentals lately. I am in the middle of reading so many books that I have “excused” myself from doing them to my own detriment. I’m going to get back on track with my fundamentals.

What are the fundamentals?
To me, they are: Daily Affirmations, Journaling, Exercise, Quiet Time, Talking to myself in the mirror, Planning, 80/20.

What are some of YOUR fundamentals?
Why are the fundamentals so important?
How do you know they are important?
Please share your thoughts.

I agree I have similar fundamentals, I also have visualization and talking to my partner about any problems I face, I let them out.

What are some of YOUR fundamentals?
-Prayer
-Love
-Lighthearted, joyful
-Claiming the good is already mine(: (affirmations, in conversation, and in daily activities)
-Nurturing myself (if I don’t have me, I can’t be anything for myself or others)
-Thinking Well (optimistically and relevantly for what I want to experience)
-agree with MCM 80/20 and prioritizing to do what I can when I can to make life work (better)
-Eating well, (often and healthy)
-Exercise
-Relationships and nurturing them
-Learning (formally and informally)
-Creativity
-Honesty
-Music
- Appreciating natural beauty in that exists in life
-Gratitude

I know they are important, because my experiences have proven it.

In response to laurie- does first things first~‘s post:
I love your fundamentals Laurie many of them are fundamental for me too.

Thanks MCM for a great thread. I like going back to basics once in a while. Its so important to find that grounding again.

Top of my list is gratitude and prayer sorta goes hand in hand.

I love laurie’s description of affirmations – CLAIMING THE GOOD IS ALREADY MINE So well put.

Acceptance

Love (nurturing self/self love comes in with this)

Hope (always believing in better)

Meditation (reflection or simply stopping in time and space to recalibrate energies)

Oh, by all means, hope! Good one Anoushka!

Hi MCM – one of THE most Fundamental people on this site!!!

I had another fundamental moment come to me just now and thought I would share….

SMILING! :o)

Its amazing how a simple gesture, like smiling, can reinforce and attract goodness in all forms.
-better responses when you are asking someone to do something for you.
…and better results.

- you feel better accepting the same back (service with a smile) a positive attitude to ANY task no matter how big or small.

-Dealing with unkind behaviour graciously. By smiling at the one who is doing the hurting, you are dissolving that negative karma!

And I bet theres more reasons to smile…??
