5 Steps to Letting Go

You are just 5 Steps from letting go of what isn't working for you any longer.

5 Steps to letting in more joy and contentment in your life.

Sometimes letting go can feel scary.

Not knowing the outcome of letting go of a person, a job, a way of living keeps you stuck in unhealthy relationships with others and with yourself. But, by letting go of what isn't working for you, you are making room to let in more of what will make your life happier and more meaningful.

And there has never been a better time than right now. Think of something that you are holding onto, something that is blocking the way for you to be truly happy. Want to let it go?

Want to make room in your life for greater joy and satisfaction?

Biphasic Traits

Biphasic Traits, according to Al Siebert (Resiliency Center), make us more likely to succeed, indeed survive and thrive.

"To survive on this planet a creature must be able to move toward life-sustaining conditions and away from poisonous or other life-destroying conditions."

This week I choose to move toward life-sustaining conditions such as joy and gratitude for all I have in my life (wonderful family, supportive and fun friends, work I enjoy, solid finances, and more), and away from life-destroying conditions (hate and anger).

This week I chose to give my full attention to compassion. Compassion for those who experience the terror of external, as well as internal, evil. This does not mean tolerance or acceptance of evil. Nor does it mean passivity in the face of evil. It means actively engaging in activities that are life-sustaining (for myself and others).

Here is a list of some life-sustaining activities?

Memories

Memories, journals, and life stories are everywhere. In desk drawers, on book shelves, in boxes, in the cells of our bodies. And, they are chameleons, changing shape and texture from day to day.

Memories, our life stories, may shift. How we experience them do not. We embody memories, as wellness or as stress, as joy or sorrow. For instance, I remember exactly how I felt when each of my children was born, but in reviewing my journals I have shifted some of the details such as what the weather was like or what song I may (or may not) have been listening to.

What stories and memories have you maintained in journals. Which do you want others to witness?

Ecopsychology

Every day is Earth Day in the world of Ecopsychology.

As we acknowledge April 22nd as Earth Day, let us acknowledge that without our connection to the earth, and the entire universe, we are dis-connecting from our very nature.

Let us acknowledge climate change and the fact that some people do not acknowledge our human, and unfortunate at times, impact on this planet and beyond.

Although some of us love living in cities and all they provide, we also love our community gardens, running in parks and along river beds, reading in public gardens, growing and caring for house plants, working to keep the environment healthy.

If you care about the environment and your place within its amazing web, then you are an ecopsycholgist at heart. What does that mean? […]

Until Now

All 208 Until Now. These may be two of the most powerful words for motivating change in your life.

What do you feel discouraged about in your life right now? If nothing, great.

But if there is something that feels habitual and you want to change your relationship with it, all you may have to do is change your thoughts about it.

That might not seem easy, but in reality it is. How?

Remember that the lotus flower often emerges from muddy waters. Acknowledge and accept the muddy waters in your life. Understand that something beautiful can break through that acceptance.

It may seem that you’ve been stuck in the mud for a very long time…Until Now. How? […]
