Thoughtful Thursdays #181 – Generosity

Posted on by

I am not talking about being generous with  huge donations of time and money and goods. I am talking about generosity with the small things that are so meaningful.

Listening with full attention, giving a supportive hug, saying kind and reassuring words, giving of your labor, making time for someone who needs you, holding a door, spend the day being courteous to everyone, in the face of conflict or differing opinions stay calm and don’t react, finding in your heart to do no harm with your words or actions.

These are just a few incognito generous actions you can take. You will end up helping someone else and feeling so much more accomplished as a human being.

Carry on you lovely generous being.

Thoughtful Thursdays #180 – Emotional Trauma in the Body

Posted on by

It is common information about emotional trauma being trapped in the body. Google it or go to the library for reading material.

However, how do we uncover emotions without the long stretches in therapy or costly physical therapies?

Start with walking more, take the stairs, swim, dance, rent a bike, work out, walk your neighbor’s dog, garden, yoga on youtube.

The next step to exorcise those pesky emotions that sneak up on you and settle in your body, sit with paper and pen or open a word document  and pour your mind onto a page.

By exercising you can release trauma from your body which is connected to your mind.

By writing you exorcise trauma from your mind which is connected to your body.

Find your balance.

Posted on by

I get so frustrated with the little stuff that I forget to see the beauty in tiny wonderful moments that happen every day.

Moments of Beauty

Quiet Mornings, Happy Birthdays, Content Pets, Continuous Chances to Change or Not, Clean Hands, Bread and Butter, The Smell of Cool Air, Driving, Rain, Kind People, Children, Making Art.

Make your own list. This list will give you a chance, perhaps only a moment, to appreciate the beauty of life. Those moments that are impressive, sentimental and forever remembered. These moments are the Beauty of Life.
