A Reminder

February 26, 2015 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

Ocean_Glow_1130009 Who doesn’t have habits they wish they could magically end and move into more peace and happiness?  All of us have parts like the critic, the pusher, the judge, the punisher, the victim, the better than,   that are annoying for us and others.

 

In my breakfast support group, I shared suggestions for what to do when stuck in a habit and how to unglue yourself:

 

1. See it and wave it goodbye.  Like telling yourself, “sorry you are here, but I am not into you.” (the part of you that is defensive towards others).

2. Focus on something else, so you don’t spin and spin on a “mistake.” (Sorry gets tuned out when there is no action)

3. Write a reminder by your computer, “Do more fun.” (When you are happy, you are more tolerant)

4.  Bravely, say out loud, STOP IT NOW. (no need to analyze, again, that same behavior popping up… just say STOP to yourself)

5.  Get your creative back. (allow the range of your creativity to surface, it is there, invite it to arrive).

You forget with all the chaos and complexity of  your life, that you are a treasure.

Take good care,
Natalie
