Tired of self help info

Are we on overload?

Are you getting tired of trying to read everything that comes into your email box on how to improve your life? And so many of them say buy this book or listen to this call for ultimate happiness or wealth or something...

Gosh if we read, and listened to, and watched everything on the subject of living a good life; we wouldn’t have the time to go about actually living our life.

Of course in my effort to continually improve myself maybe I just subscribe to too many things. I think the challenge with all this info is that it can make us feel inadequate, like we somehow do not measure up. NOTHING could be further from the truth.

I for one am growing tired of trying to keep up with it all to perfect my life! Perhaps that is a big part of the reason I have not been writing many blogs lately. I am reminded that there are some people who end up spending all their time reading about and studying life to get it right ... and then there are others out there just living it and enjoying it moment by moment. They have no idea if they are doing it right or not but they are out living it and maybe that is really what it is all about. We will learn along the way.

It is important to live life. My belief is that we already know it all anyway, we just have to live what we know and trust what we know and we will experience truth and life all along the way.

So I may write less frequently but you can bet I am out there enjoying life and I hope to help you do the same by my example. Who needs to get it perfect as long as we enjoy ourselves?

All we need to remember is that if we don’t like something we can change our thoughts or perception of it, and if we do like something, we can just request more of the same please.

Life can be easy to live and enjoy and that is why none of us was born with a book on how to do it in our hands. Now let’s go live and just make our adjustments on the way.

With great love, Suzanne

Dream often ... Dream big

I subscribe to daily messages from Neale Donald Walsch and I simply must share with you part of one of his messages from last week because it is about the very dreams we talk about.

... Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present.
Robert Conklin said that, and he was right.

So dream away, and dream often, and dream big.
And never let anyone talk you out of your dreams.

What is your dream today? Is it vast enough, bold enough?

Thank you for the share Neale Donald Walsch.
May your dreams be big, vast and bold so you have lots to play with.

With great love, Suzanne

What if everything is changing?

Lots of changes are happening in the world today...

The way I see it is ... when everything is changing ... maybe we need to change the way we look at everything.

Do you have assumptions of what is correct in life? What is normal? What is truth?
Are you sure all these things are correct? What if everything changes?
What if the way things have always been done does not work anymore?

Maybe we will have to create some new beliefs ... some new truths.
What works for you now? It may really be time to think outside of the box.

It does not have to be scary, it can just be different.
Different can be fun. Different can make us feel fully alive.

Maybe where we live will become different... Maybe the way we live will become different... Maybe how we earn our money will become different... Maybe what is truly important in our lives will be seen differently. These can all be good things.

If many things have already changed, maybe now we just need to adjust our thoughts to find some really awesome things.

With great love, Suzanne

Who says?

Do you ever feel like you have to live a certain way... or behave or act in a certain way because, society, your friends, your family or your neighbours expect it?

Why? Who can say what is the correct way to ... look, act, feel or do?
What if you want to do something different?
What if you want to wear rubber boots in the sunshine?
What if you want to live in a different way?
Then make the choice to be different if it is what you really desire.
Choose it if it makes you happy.

No one should dictate what is acceptable for you. Only you can do that.
Wouldn’t life be boring if we were all the same?
Shake it up, spice it up ... live life on your terms!


With great love, Suzanne

Ten things I know about life

- We get more of whatever we put our focus on.
- A doughnut tastes better than a stick of celery.
- It feels good to hug a friend.
- It feels great to get a hug.
- We get back tenfold whatever we give ... love, kindness, appreciation....
- It feels good to hear the words ‘thank you’.
- Whatever we believe becomes true for us ... but it is not necessarily true for everybody else.
- We can always choose what we think or how we respond.
- Being right is not always important.
- A whole bunch of you will go back to count if I listed 10 things. Is it really important?

Now you can add yours and we will all be really smart sharing like this!

With great love, Suzanne

I am cheering for you!

What do you desire for or in your life?
I am cheering for you and I know if your desire is strong enough, it is yours.

What do you desire?
Clarify it. Visualize it. Write about it. Talk about it. Plan for it. Expect it.
Allow it into your life. Welcome it.

Accept no worry about how, when, who or where.
Know it is yours simply because you asked and it will be.

I am cheering for you.
Can you feel it?
Rah, rah, rah!

Gratitude

Gratitude gives us the basis for our life.
It costs nothing but means so much.
No matter where we are in our lives at any given moment …
Gratitude makes it better.

What are you grateful for right now, right this second?
It feels good to think about doesn’t it?
Our best lives flow from gratitude.

Higher self-esteem

Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves.
It is our belief in our self.
When we are confident in our abilities people say that we have high self esteem.
We feel better about ourselves.

How can we empower ourselves in more areas?

First we must realize that our self esteem is within our control not someone else’s.
We can’t blame someone else for any low self esteem that we feel.
Yes, they may have played a role but it is in our power now.
We are in charge of pumping ourselves up and building our self esteem.

The biggest way I can suggest for pumping ourselves up is to list all the things we do really well and we love about ourselves. Think of everything and anything – big and small. Pick your favorites and zero in on those. Tell yourself how good you are at them … but don’t share all this with others. You see self esteem is an inside job. You don’t have to say it to people. They will begin to notice your new confidence at about the same time as you do. Enjoy the feeling – because it has everything to do with you.

With great love, Suzanne

Is your glass half full?

It’s a famous question isn’t it?
How do you look at life?
Is your glass half full or half empty?

My glass is always full.
It is constantly refilling itself.
How does it refill?

My glass constantly refills because of my thoughts and expectation of abundance in my life.
I also allow others to refill it for me – and I am happy to refill their glass.
I never worry about a loss in my glass because I know it is constantly being refilled.

Yes it is a way to look at life.
Decide for yourself what you desire … a glass half empty, half full or constantly refilling and flowing over with joys.

With great love, Suzanne

We never stand alone

We never stand alone
We always have help and support ready to be by our side.

Sometimes we feel alone but that is our ego thinking.
Our ego likes to pretend it is alone. You know - us against the world.
Truth is … we have tons of support on our side.

Our support is both seen and unseen.
We would only feel alone if we chose to.
We never stand alone.

Get unstuck

Sometimes we can feel very stuck with some aspect of our lives.
The reasons we feel stuck can be as varied as the solutions.
But the reality is who wants to be in a yucky stucky place? Not I!

So what can we do when we feel stuck in our lives?
How do we get ourselves unstuck?

We need to change something … scenery, activity, our thoughts.
Actually, the more quickly we can do this the better.

We can look at things from a different angle….
Read something different, talk to different people…
Put our head between our legs and look at the world upside down.
Get down on the floor and look at our surroundings like a little puppy would…
We can use music – dance - physical activity of any sort...

We always have options in our lives – there are always solutions …
Are we willing to look at things differently to find them?

Want to know a secret?
Sometimes I just pretend I am stuck because it gives me a chance to do odd things.

Open heart

An open heart – a loving heart – an accepting heart.
Open and loving hearts can feel – they intuitively understand…
And they enjoy life to the fullest.

Hearts can’t be broken. Our feeling can be hurt and our egos can be devastated but our open and loving heart always beats with knowing and more love.

Love is all we really have to give. We give it from our heart.
We can do well to live from our heart.
It creates the lives dreams are made of.

Let’s not let our egos close our hearts – let’s open them to love.

With great love, Suzanne

Be happy

What is more important than being happy?

We serve no one in misery or feelings of obligation.
If the things we do are done without happiness or joy – no one wins.
Being happy leads to … all the good things in life.

Happiness is ….
Well happiness is all the things that make you happy.
Do some today.

Experience your happiness today and every day.
Every day fill in the blank … Happiness is …
Then live it and watch your life become one you thought you could only dream of.

With great love, Suzanne

To wait is divine

I want this now.
Have you ever felt impatient for something to arrive?
Impatience does not really serve us well because it makes us not feel good.
So let’s look at the benefits of wait time so we can feel good about it…

It gives us time to be sure of what we want…
It gives us time to savor how it is going to feel to have it…
(Sometimes the thought of having it is almost as much fun as having it)
It gives us time to plan the party for its arrival…
And it creates an opportunity for us to really appreciate it when it arrives…

To wait could be divine fun for us if we allow it to be.

With great love, Suzanne

Big may not be better

How often do we take little bothersome things that happen in our lives and make them into big things? We can even string a bunch of little things together and make them a big thing can’t we?

Let’s not live worrying about the future – worry gets big there.
Let’s concentrate on ‘now’ things because they are much smaller and more manageable in the now.

Let’s not take little challenges with people or organizations or businesses and build them into big things. We have better things to do.

Let’s keep the things that are meant to be little – little.
That allows our happiness in life to get bigger and that serves us much more.

You could say big is also better with hot fudge sundaes.

With great love, Suzanne

Freedoms

What are our freedoms?
We are free to choose everything in our lives.
Everything may have consequences to our choices but we are free to choose.

Sometimes we do not feel like we have very many freedoms but we do.
We are always free to choose … and re-choose … and choose again.
Now that is freedom.

With great love, Suzanne

What's the rush?

Can’t these people drive any faster?
Have you ever thought that when going somewhere? I have.
Sometimes I just feel like travel time is wasted time.
But what if it is not wasted time?

What if it is a gift of time?
Maybe we should just be in less of a rush.
You know … enjoy life more.
Then we can notice more things.
We can notice the people.
We can notice the beauty of the day and simply enjoy life.
Breathe and relax maybe that is the way to enjoy travel time.

After all life is not made up of futures…
It is made up of precious now moments that will never come by again.
How we fill those precious moments is up to us.

I think I must look at my travel time differently.
I’ll be enjoying the moment in portions of a kilometer or a mile at a time.

With great love, Suzanne

Fun is the purpose of life

If I can’t have fun – I don’t want to be here.
That’s how I look at life.
So I make sure I have lots of fun in my life.
When we play with life we have less stress and we feel happier.

We may not be able to play all the time but we can try to make everything we do as fun as possible. How can you make things more fun in your life? How do you want to play?
Decide how and then choose to play every day.
Why? Simply because it feels very, very good.

Now who has a hula hoop?
Well admittedly, everybody’s idea of fun may be different.

With great love, Suzanne

Expectation is everything

What do you expect from life?

What do you think life holds for you?
What do you expect to find in your life every day?
Look around you.
Your life is mirroring your expectations of it.
Do you like your expectations?
Could you choose to look for the best in everything?

We create and live the very lives we expect we will.
So what will you choose to expect from life now?

Live in light

What is the light?
The light is … sunshine … good thoughts … caring behavior … finding fun … laughter … hugs … friends … positivity … It is all the things that you enjoy and appreciate in life.

We need the light. We crave the light. It lifts our spirits. It makes life enjoyable.
The light always feels good … unless we desire to sleep … but who wants to sleep through life?

What is your light? What do you crave?
What makes you feel good?

Live in the light. Find your joy.
Oh you are so bright!

With great love, Suzanne
