DID THE CARD FIT

MARCH 13 2024

The further into my journey I travel the more i figure out about me. This does make me more successful. There are a few things I have some deep focus on right now. Thought patterns have always been a bit more difficult for me. It’s Me, Hi. Yes, I am guilty. I have however learned how to keep my thoughts positive. Every day growing. Yes, the Two of Wands fit my day.

DID THE CARD FIT

March 12 2024

YES, YES, YES, YES

I’m always over analyzing. I notice ways I could have done things different often. I also remind myself we are always right where we should be. Take a breath and find my blessings

Yes, the card fit my day.

DID THE CARD FIT

MARCH 11 2024

I had a situation that i have been struggling with. Today was the first day i was able to have a conversation about it (2 actually, but whose counting(;-) and didn’t feel negativity. I have comlpeted my work and came full circle. This is a experience that does bring a special feeling. It is the reward at the end of the lesson. It is fleeting but it brings the peace of confirmation that you can now move forward. So yes, i would say the card fit with my day.

So is the problem solved and gone? Nope, not even close. What it is though is out of my control. My control is limited to me. If there is something negative effecting me it’s because i am giving it permission to. This feeling lets you know your body, mind and soul are back in allignment. I am whole and in complete control again. No matter what happens i am at peace and will fill my memory bank with blessed ones.

WHAT WORDS DO YOU USE

MARCH 6TH 2024

Let’s look at a few common statements we have all heard or maybe even said. When you hear and say things enough you start to believe them and give them life.

1: If you don’t love yourself nobody else will truly be able to love you.

2: Their pretty coincided thiking they are all that.

3:Be realistic. Stop dream chasing and take the job that pays your bills and concentrate on your responsibilities.

4: The pain never goes away.

5: How can you be happy for them? You deserved that more, i would be angry.

6: Don’t set yourself up for failure.

Let’s dissect these statements and look at them just a little differently

1: How awful to have in your spirit that nobody else will truly love you if you can’t figure things out and overcome your insecurities. But if we switched it up and said Loving/knowing yourself is very helpful for any situation in life. Reality is we grow and evolve daily and so do our boundries and self awarness. Only way to figure out what those things are that we love about ourselves is to have others in our lives, So enjoy getting to know others.

2: There is only one replacement for this statement. If you ever question if you are conceited or confident you already have your answer. An arrogant person would never feel the emotion of even wondering. Recite those affirmations and know that you ARE all that and more. Have pride in yourself. You have earned every bit of it.

3: First off how boring would life be without goals and the excitement of fulfilling them and what a devastation that could be for your health. Yes, daily responsibilities are top prioritites. We all make choices over the years that add detours to our plans. This in no way means you can’t have both. Your dreams are still priorities and part of your journey if you want them to be. You are the only one that can make you believe they are a thing of the past. If you want it, believe in it and work to earn it. You can have it all.

4: This can easily become a true statement. It is a very difficult task to accomplish. Trauma effects mental health. If you put your energy and focus on the emotion of sadness related to the pain it won’t ever go away. You will still evolve but you will miss out on many blessings. What if you could grieve the trauama and move forward? Compartmentalize the pain. Having it be one of the billion other experiences you have had, good and bad. Put it in it’s place and just like you would with any other situation in your life see what is in store for you next. There will still be sadness but happiness as well. Debilitating yourself isn’t going to give you many opportunities to recieve happy moments. Move past it and continue your journey, embrace all parts of your story so you can continue adding chapters.

5: How can you not be happy for somone who has had a positive experience? Thats like being a sore loser and nobody wants to be thought of liike that. We are wired to be displeased about somethihng and also feel excitement for the same situation. For example: you and your friend could be trying to conceive at the same time and she gets pregnant before you. Emotions of sadness and dissapointment are definetly going to surface. Maybe even a touch of jealousy. You also will be exstactic and excited for your friend, just as she would be for you if the tables were turned. When you choose to be better instead of bitter you will find things less detramental.

6: The worst of all Don’t set yourself up for failure. What if you could retrain your brain that there was no such thing as failure? You could be educated. Learn what isn’t your best skills. Gain Knowledge of what not to do. Anyhthing but failure. Such a nasty word. The the answer is YES! Set yourself up for failure every chance you get Because you know any opportunity is a chance to get educated. You know the more knowledge the easier it is to trust the choices you make.

What you speak and what you think are what your life is. They have powers beyond explaination. Change the way you percieve things and your world will change. Give it a try. What do you have to lose?

HOW DO WE GET STUCK

02-27-2024

How do we not get stuck if we aren’t 180% checked in with ourselves is more the question that needs to be asked. For the first decade and a half or so we get a bye. All we are responsible for is noticing what brings us excitement and joy. At first you were introduced only to your inner circles beliefs, traditions and mindsets. We will be generous and say this makes up a good 50% of where you put your time and who you were. Then you branched out and you started your own circle of peers. We will alot this 9%. Now you add a career or partner. That’s easily 35%. Seeing the pattern here? You are already at 94%. You have 6% open and we haven’t even touched on children, nieces, nephews, clients etc….. This is how you get stuck! Telling yourself it must be done on the daily. . Reality, no it really doesn’t. Well let me rephrase that . Yes, things need to be done but in a slightly different way. One where you are first. Allowing you to not only be a positive example for others but show them bliss is possible. You will actually find everything and more gets done, with less stress on everyone. Your enviroment largely programed you. However, now that you are older, been educated and have had the opportunities to view options other than what you were raised with and around, you can deprograme and recode a new outcome. The best part is the only one in control of the outcome and able to accomplish this is you. Now back to when i said in the first decade and a half the only responsibility you had was noticing what excited and brought you joy. Let’s take a little trip down memory lane. When you were growing up……..

1) Did you enjoy being inside or outside more? Were the sounds and smells of home and the dimness of the indoor lighting soothing or did you need the music of wildlife and the smells of nature to bring your happy back? Was family time enjoyable? Were you home alone a lot? Did you have more responsibilities than most? Was your family large? Did you thrive outside making it the best way to allow you to think clearer? Did you go barefoot or wear shoes? Was it your choice? Did you feel exhilerated when a thunder storm was coming or did you like the predictability and safeness of the sun?

2) Were you social or did the thought of having to go to school make your stomach turn? Why? Did you fear embaresment? Did you believe you had no value so you wouldn’t be accepted? Did you even know why? is it possible that thought was instilled in you by someone you believed at their word? Maybe you jumped up every morning excited to tell your friends about the events of the night before and listen to theirs.

3) Were you going to live the remainder of your life in your hometown or were you getting out the first chance you got? Why? Did you feel important/noticed/valued at home? Did you feel a pull to take your uses and share them with the world? Have a plan of all you were going to do and accomplish? Exoected to take over the family business? Just never was sure what the best choice was so you didn’t make one? fell in love?

4) Did you have a fashion style you prefered? Even if you never got to wear it were you aware of what appealed to you and what didn’t? Were you made to wear what you were told making you stop paying attention becaused it seemed out of your reach to be given permission to have what you wanted? Did that hesitancy of insecurity kick in and make you follow the crowd and stick with the trends?

5) Did you have friends over often, stay at their house or keep social time limited to only school? Why? Was home a unsafe place to bring others? Were your guardians to strict, not strict? Were your siblings cruel? Did you have a reason that made you uncomftorable to be away from home? Stayed away every chance you got? Maybe you or your friends had more things to get into and thats how you chose?

6) How did you get along with younger children? Great, because they were innocent, fun and made you laugh and created good feelings/memories? Did it make you feel special because they were attentive to you, making you feel important? Did the amount of care they required annoy you and make you want to be anywhere else at that moment? Was it hard to relate because of their lack of intellegince? Did you run to or away from them?

7) How was your class participation? Did you involve yourself in discussions and try to find interest in the subject or did you sit as close to the back as possible and pray you weren’t called on until the bell rang? Did you struggle? Feared being called on and not knowing the correct answer? Maybe you struggled but you didn’t care if you got it wrong or not, you just needed to be involved? Maybe you would eventually “get it”. What else did you have to do .Sit in the back of the class hoping nobody noticed you never crossing your mind.

8) Did you help other family members and loved ones with projects or was it a every man for himself home? Were you a every man for himself person and your circle wasn’t? Did you feel you had value to add or did you fear failure and cheer from the sidelines and praise when completed?

9) Did you acquire random hobbies/projects out of your own curioustiy along your way? Just because curiousity got the best of you. Possibly you thought it might be something you would be good at and could teach others later.

10) Did you become programmed to be a people pleaser or a you pleaser?

Look back and really think about these questions. Add to them. Remember you have to sift through all factors, not just the reason you made the choice.

Maybe you didn’t wear shoes, but maybe it was because you didn’t have them to wear unless you weant “out”. Maybe you do remember spending a large portion of time outside, but did you have a large family and just enjoyed getting away. Were you made to go outside until dinner time? Did you not have any idea of what fashion you like because you were never allowed to choose. All things have to be considered. Now, if you felt excitement and exhilerhation when you knew a storm was coming that excited you. Others can place fear and confusion in us but not excitement. That one shows up only when a light bulb goes off that says ohhhhh i like that. As time goes it will be eaven easier to notice. The consant theme you will start to see is self-awarness grows self-assurance creating self-esteem. Giving you the desire to run towards what you fear because you know if you face it first it can’t harm you. You also learn there is always something pleasurable at the end. Even if it’s just the feeling of accomplishment. Which might i say is a pretty amazeballs feeling that everyone should experience at least once. This task is hard for adults. Even ones that never struggle in their youth but life still beat them down. Trying to make us believe we are all the same. There are no distinct differences about us. This is why we live in a society of unsatisfied, scared, depressed people who in large part have given up and truly believe they make no difference whether they are here or not. This is so far from the truth and it is up to you to find out what those gifts are that make you fit in the puzzle. How wonderful if we could all figure out what part we are. Maybe it would be a huge peace sign. Peace is what you will find when you find out who you are, what drives you and what you were put here to do.

MINDFULNESS AND IT’S ABILITIES TO HELP CREATE FUFILLED LIVES

JULY 3RD 2023

\
Last week we covered the basics of our June book “Present not Perfect” By: Aimee Chase. Now we are going deep. Aimee suggests an experiment. Along with being mindful of self and making yourself aware of your emotions/feelings. She wants you to be mindful with your eating as well. In short you taste and savor the first three bites of every food you eat and record the results. Notice the texture, temperature and flavor. What thoughts does that bring to your mind? Is it happy or depressing? How can you make it positive if it’s not?
Example: This morning i had Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal. The texture was crunchy, Temperature was cold and the flavor was sweet. It brough back memories of Saturday morning cartoons for me. It was my first taste of “ME” time. Everyone else in the house still asleep. Big girl handling herself and feeling good about it. TV to myself (which was only on Saturday mornings at my house). This reminded me i am very capable of taking care of self. All i need i carry around in me every where i go. I am a smart, capable, independent person who can handle anything the day brings my way.
Her next suggestion is when you get a free minute or two (yes i know they are rare) use one occasionaly to do something small but important.
Email an old friend just to check in and say i am thinking of you
Read the first few chapters of a new book and see if it appeals to you
Make conversation with a stranger
Frame a photo
Plan a getway/gettogether
Get your hair/nails done
See a movie
whatever brings you good endorphines and makes you feel good about accomplishing because it was spontaneous and unplanned. A cup list per say. Keep a small notebook and jot it down when you do something you had no intentions of doing. Look over at the end of the month and see how much self care you are getting in. If you are lacking move it to the top of the list as a major priority. If you are doing good, keep it up and pull it out when you need a reminder you are doing better than it feels like. Last but not least Aimee asks you to give yourself permission to be happy EVERYDAY! You deserve it. Again, you are the only one who has the ability to make this happen or not. Just remember {Present not Perfect}.
I will be doing the book drawing soon. If you didn’t get your name in and would like for it to be send an email to BrokenWingSociety@mail.com with subject drawing. Put your name and address in the email. Same if you want to set up an appointment or need a book prescription just add it in the subject with your information in the email.

MENTAL HEALTH ISN’T BIAS

JUNE 19, 2023

         

Statistically, yes, it as been proven woman are more prevalent to mental health disorders then men. That doesn’t mean they are exempt. It merely means they aren’t good at social situations and sharing. Woman are the ones who say “hey this is an issue and needs to be fixed”! At the least search for a solution. Think of it like asking for directions. In light of the recent holiday where we celebrated a few men “Father’s Day”, i thought what a perfect opportunity to show how mental health and life struggles are not and will never be bias. Depression and Anxiety have been unwanted friends to all at some stage of their journey. Unfortunately, probably will be again. That’s when you remind yourself the only thing that determines the outcome of the situation is the mind dealing with it. According to http://www.wikipedia.org, http://www.news-medical.net, and http://www.newsportinstitute.com mens mental health struggles tend to fall more under social, sexual, and substance based. However, Bipolar Disorder is fair across the board. The new era of talking about your mental health struggles and finding the medications that work for you is here. Is this a positive or just a new way to make excuses for negative behaviour? Maybe we are finally bringing to light what we have been hiding in the dark for far to long. Breaking the cycle of being seen and not heard. Taking off that happy face unless it earned it’s place. No matter who you are you will get blue at times. You are going to have doubts. It’s in our nature; unevoidable. Train yourself to allow the belief in self and your higher power wash away your worries and guide you. Just like a ocean wave you let bring you back to safety instead of fighting during it. Enjoying the nature and wonder of the blessings bestowed upon you before the next does of reality hits and you have to paddle again. Life is exactly the same. Enjoy the ride and let it take you. Breath, shake it off and dig in. You’ll end up exactly where you are supposed to be. Witih extra positive energy to be had, guaranteed. Who can turn that down or should? I wouldn’t, can’t think of anyone who could. Relax, enjoy the ride so you can share the journey at the end. Don’t just do life, LIVE IT! While you are considering a few things throw our second book review in your mix.
“Present Not Perfect” – A Journal For Slowing Down, Letting Go, and Loving Who You Are.
Author: Aimee Chase
Staying Centered, listening to yourself. You can use meditation. If you aren’t comftorable with that just place your hand over your heart each morning. Take several deep breaths. Take notice of your emotions, smells, sounds and what they trigger. Jot them down and peak back at them routinely (whatever works best for your convience).
ANGER
JOY
ENERGIZED
OPTIMISTIC
FEARFUL
LONELY
SIMPLICITY
What makes you happy, what doesn’t? Don’t give energy to anything you have no control over, mindfulness practice daily. Realistic and to the point. Man/Woman/Child/Animal it all comes back to the mind, desire and strength. All of which you are the only one who has control of for you.

  HALF  WAY 

                                          06-05-2023 

We have reached that month.  The month that marks the start of the half way point of the year.  Not to stress anyone out with me or anything.  But there is no better time to do a little self-check.  Check in and see where you are right now in this moment.  Has this year brought you opportunity, knowledge, new beginnings?  Did you make more positive choices producing more pleasurable experiences?  Maybe your first half of 2023 was like mine.  A whirl wind of changes, discomfort, patience, faith, regression all while dealing with Lupus.  The good news here is a challenge gained or lost provides power.  However, the year has been for you, there has been some form of progress.  How you choose to view and categorize that progress was up to you.  Looking at it through any other lens than a focused, clear and positive one will find you no positive benefits.  You have to get real with others about who you are, but most importantly you have to be raw and honest with yourself.  The easiest one to lie to.  Keep your focus on the experiences the journey brings.  Speaking of your journey, how you view it and where you want it to take you requires decluttering of many things.  Bringing me to an opening to mention the stalled book review.   “Let That Sh*t Go”, Authored by Monica Sweeney was the book unanimously picked.  I have completed the book and want to share my review with you in this post.  As I mentioned earlier it’s the lens you choose to view life through that determines the outcomes of your experiences.  You alone are the only one who controls what you choose to believe, feel and think.  This book is not saying screw the world, everything and everyone in it.  So, you should just take care of you.  It is saying look out for self by learning who you are, what you have to offer and sharing it with the world.  It’s not telling you to hermit up away from the world.  It’s telling you the shi*t you need to let go should be easy because you allowed it therefore you can let it go and stop it.  This book gives you a map to a happy life using exercises that open your thought process.  Making you answer those questions we don’t like to be asked or think about.  Giving you tools to decipher what is working for you in your life and what you would probably be better off without.  Figuring out what makes you enable others instead of growing yourself.  Let That Sh*t Go goes into detail about the importance of all your surroundings.  Explains that you want things that pull inspiration from you. Those things that make you go hmmmmm.  When you feel that exhilaration flowing through your veins and all the happy endorphins come out to play.  Running a movie reel in your head of your troubles and struggles will only send you down into the abyss quicker than you could say Jack Rabbitt.  Only you can make the decision to lay down your burdens and walk away without them.  Take those heavy stones you are carrying, pay homageoo the lessons they gave you and make a choice if you still want to keep your screw the world attitude or if you’re going to take the brightest paint you can find and paint those stones to remind you of the lessons you received.  Creating happiness out of your stones.  Take a read.  I have no doubt you will feel a satisfaction when you get to the end of the book.  Knowing things about yourself you might not have even known.  This isn’t one that disappoints.  

Let That Sh*t Go – A journal for leaving your bullsh*t behind and creating a happy life.

Honoring Our Veterans

05/29/2023

While observing this Memorial Day Holiday, honoring and grieving the losses of our US Service men & women who gave their lives for our freedom. It got me thinking how/do we repay them. Do we do better daily ourselves to be better citizens? Do we make our communities better by getting involved since the service men/women are putting their life on the line for us to have them:? Or do we go about our daily routines not thinking about how we get to enjoy the lives we do? One day of recognition is nearly enough. We as a whole should be colectively honoring them everyday. Make a donation, volunteer, create a memorial, light a candle, be respectfull, kind and patient. We should be showing/giving the utmost respect for someone who gives so much for us. They should know how much the sacrafice they give for us is appreciated by honoring them by creating a pleasent, respectful and desired place to fight for and come back to.

HAPPY 2023 MEMORIAL DAY FR0M OUR HOME TO YOURS
