FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is a new phenomenon. JOPMA is an even newer term for a very old and wise way of being.
FOMO is related to the anxiety some social media users experience because of all the possible events they could be attending .
JOPMA is the peace that comes with being fully aware and with the present moment.
Which are you choosing right now? FOMO or JOPMA? Fear or Joy? Which do you want more of in your life?
1) What is your greatest vision for your art (or work, or relationship, or life)?
2) What is a step you can take towards that vision?
3) What might get in your way?
4) How will you get support? (Not just emotional support, but the tough kind that keeps you on track, keeps you moving in the direction of your greatest vision, your dreams and goals). And, I might add, how will get support to move away from people who not only drain your creative juices but your spirit as well?
While riding the train, I overheard this question being asked by a young woman of her teary-eyed friend.
Such a simple, yet profound, question.
What do YOU long for?
Inner Peace? Compassion? Love? Security?
Name what you long for, these are your life dreams.
Long for them, and take action to manifest them.
Learning to forgive has changed my life. No one was more surprised by this change than I have been. Forgiveness allows greater compassion, peace and joy.
I began this journey into forgiveness when I was designed a course, The Psychology of Forgiveness. The main message of the course was how mindfulness can become a gateway to forgiveness.
What would your world look like without the anger, resentment and self contempt that not forgiving (yourself or another) creates?
What would your world feel like with greater movement towards your life dreams and goals? This is what forgiveness allows.
