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

Ecopsychology, Holistic PsychologyEvery 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 208Until 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?  […]

Turn Your Dreams into Goals into Reality…

It is important to know the differences between goals and dreams. Why? Because it is easy to get sucked into the dreaminess of dreams.

That's great if you are happy in that place. If not, you might want to acknowledge the difference between dreams and goals and see how that shifts how you choose to move forward in creating the life you want.

What exactly are the differences between goals and dreams? Understanding those differences could be the key to unlocking the life you long for.

Revisiting Forgiveness

I am revisiting forgiveness because it's on mind so often these days.  I am in want of some deep self-forgiveness. Writing about it helps immensely. Forgiveness always involves forgiving oneself. Forgiving oneself is often harder than forgiving someone else. "Just because it's hard doesn't make it bad." A wise friend once said that to me at a very challenging time in my life.  I hear her voice saying those words to me as if she were beside me right now. Is forgiveness always right? Only you can answer that question for you. But I would say that self-forgiveness is absolutely always right if you want to heal from a painful story.
