My Mirror

 Maybe you might like to try this selfcare-selfaware approach... 

This can help us see the reflection of who we are, on the inside, the part not shown to us in a mirror. 

Simle say, I love you, smile and say one nice thing about how you feel.. not look like, but feel, keep it positive & simple!

Few simple examples,  

I feel grateful for owning this mirror, I feel appreciative for being able to look into my eyes, I feel good, I feel hopeful today is going to be what I make it, I feel I can do better, I feel happy, I am pleasing to my own eyes! I like to smile, it feels good when I comb my hair I like doing it! And so on as long as you say something positive about how you feel before how you look, this will work! 

This is also a really good exercise for children preteens anybody actually but shy of looking at themselves in a mirror or likes to say something negative as soon as they see themselves before they say it they're feeling that negative thought. The first thing we should do as soon as we see ourselves in a mirror our image and our eyes meet we should smile and say to ourselves, I like the eyes looking back at me, as they are mine! 

 Pretty soon this little exercise will be remembered instantly every time you see your image. It'll be the first thing you think of and not what you look like or question who you are in a negative way. 

If you look at yourself and say I don't know who you are, but I want to get to know you, well, that's a positive thing! Start from there! 

I tell everyone to go shopping find a mirror that is new just to you either make one repaint one decorate it make it your own. Hasn't walt disney taught us anything?

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all, why you are you're the beholder of your own eyes looking back at you there's no one in the whole world like you, you are magical, special and beautiful! 

 Love theyself and you will say to the reflection in the mirror! I love me, thank yourself for showing yourself to me today! It is in this moment when you look into your own eyes and you can say I love you! You'll only see love looking back at you! 

 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This saying, has many layers, we are the holder of our own eyes! 

We are all beautiful magical living humans in this moment of time! So next time you see yourself in the mirror and you say I don't know who that person is, maybe instead say I'd like to get to know you, tell oneself, nice to meet you, start from there. 

Love and light 💠

Annaka Harris is one of my teachers when it comes to learning about my fears, actions, and recognizing my consciousness. This word is so hard for me to spell but I understand how it works and always have.

I have made many bad decisions when I don't pay attention to my conscience. I learn from my feelings, the reaction of my outburst of emotion, when really all is needed is for me to remain calm, this is how I know that I'm ok! I check in with myself more often, this action has helped me to face fears with the reality that calms me. I ask my self, are you ok Lisa? Yes, I am ok!


Ask your self, am I ok? If the answer is yes, well then you are ok! If your answer is no, I'm not ok, find ways to help your self be ok! Not just feel ok, but be ok!

I use this method while in ice baths, cold emersion exercises have helped me to calm my feelings and worries and learn to be ok with my conscious networking web of thoughts that I share within the universe of my complicated brain! Maybe this is how my dyslexic wired brain fires!

Stay safe well, and learn what helps you feel and be ok! Love Lisa

Time

Time is too slow for those who wait, 
too swift for those who fear, 
too long for those who grieve, 
too short for those who rejoice, 
but for those who love, 
time is eternity.

 The race for time, to be there on time, then to find the time and to know what to do with it, when it’s all mine! ~Lisa

This is how I felt this week, my vaction started on May 4th. My flight was overbooked to Chicago, so I took a train, then my first Uber drive to the airport, a plain to Germany, then a 12 hours train journey to Sweden, with Four transfers.

Hurry, rush and don’t be a second late or I would missed a connection! I made it! Time was my best friend, down to the seconds or I would have not made it on time!

It took me until today, three days after my arrival that I felt for the first time in my life, that time was all mine. No children, siblings, parents, partner, friends, pet, home, job, and car travel plans to tend too, just me! Free from a time schedule, and having to be some where. I even forgot what day it was, and didn’t check the time, until after a 6 hour hike. What supriced me the most is that I didn’t feel guilty of all of the time that I took for my self today. I didn’t find time, it found me!  

Sweden, Denmark, cruise vacation, May 4th thr May 29th

Letting go it seems is one of my biggest lessons. I don’t think I’m alone in this:-)

I have such big plans and dreams for my life, and also for this wonderful dream on community that we are building. Sometimes I want situations to turn out in a certain way…and for people to act as I would like them to act (whether that is as a friend, or a lover, or a community member)

But they don’t. People and life find their own way.

Sometimes, that’s not the way into your heart, into your businesses, or into your life.

Letting go and trusting is hard, but every time I read this wonderful poem, I am reminded that letting go is ok, and I promise myself that today, I will let go just a little bit more.

Enjoy

TO “LET GO” TAKES LOVE

by author unknown

To “let go” does not mean to stop caring,

it means I can’t do it for someone else.

To “let go” is not to cut myself off,
it is the realisation I can’t control another.

To “let go” is not to enable,
but to allow learning from natural consequences.

To “let go” is to admit powerlessness,
which means that the outcome is not in my hands.

To “let go” is not to try to change or blame another,
it is to make the most of myself.

To “let go” is not to care for,
but to care about.

To “let go” is not to fix,
but to be supportive.

To “let go” is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.

To “let go” is not to be in the middle, arranging the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their own destinies,

To “let go” is not to be protective,
but to permit another to face reality.

To “let go” is not to deny,
but to accept.

To “let go” is not to nag, scold, or argue,
but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.

To “let go” is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take every day as it comes, and to cherish myself in it.

To “let go” is not to criticize and regulate anybody,

but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To “let go” is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

To “let go” is to fear less and love more.

"Our highest power is love, and we have an unlimited amount. How much love do you give to others daily?... Each day we can set out with this great, unlimited power in our possession, and pour it over every person and circumstance. We have so much love to give, and the more that we give, the more we receive." ~Rhonda Byrne

15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy

Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go:

1. Give up your need to always be right. There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

2. Give up your need for control. Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu

3. Give up on blame. Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk. Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle

5. Give up your limiting beliefs about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!

“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

6. Give up complaining. Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

7. Give up the luxury of criticism. Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

8. Give up your need to impress others. Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take of all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

9. Give up your resistance to change. Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” Joseph Campbell

10. Give up labels. Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer

11. Give up on your fears. Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.

“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

12. Give up your excuses. Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

13. Give up the past. I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.

14. Give up attachment. This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another,  attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations. Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves.  You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.
