Ancient Wisdom

Ancient Wisdom tells us that it is important "to know the smallest things and the biggest things, the shallowest things and the deepest things."

Take 5 minutes (the undistracted kind) for yourself 4 times this week. Reflect on the following questions. What are the smallest things in my life? What are the biggest things in my life? What are the shallowest things in my life? What are the deepest things in my life?

After doing these reflective exercises - picture something in your mind's eye that represents something that is BIG and Deep (ie. an iceberg, an oak tree). Write it down on a post-it or find a picture in a magazine. Stick the post-it or picture somewhere that will remind you to keep your focus on what is big and deep in your life (ie. bathroom mirror, dashboard, refrigerator, bedside table). You could also write this "something" on an index card and carry around with you in a pocket for the next week as a constant reminder of what's important to you in this life.

Begin to let go of what is small and shallow stuff in your life. Be creative - find ways to remind yourself daily to focus on what is BIG and DEEP in your life.

Renewable Energies

I dare you to fill your tank...As women, we invest in others, all day, every day. Is it time to invest in yourself?

Take 15 "undistracted" minutes for yourself within the next 2 days. Think about what gives you life (gives energy) and what drains your energy. Make two lists. Make the "drains my energy" list first - write down at least 10 things that are a drain on your system. Then, make your "renewable energy" list - write down 10 things you do that give you energy. Be honest with yourself. Make a commitment to do at least one thing that gives you energy each day for the next month.

I double dare you - Post your "renewable energy" list in a place you will notice it each day (ie. car dashboard, bathroom mirror, bedside table). Do something for yourself each day that gives you energy - Make this a daily ritual.

If you are having trouble coming up with your renewable energy list, email cindy@lessdrama.com - I've got lots of ideas.
