I love making lists . I love making lists of lists Id love to make... Today we are making lists. What character traits do you see in yourself? Examples: Confidence Helpful Compassionate Passionate Soulful Energetic Bravery Generosity Joyfulness Laziness Aggression Greed Overbearing Controlling ****** Put a C in comments to receive part 2 of today's activity

I want to carefully approach the topic of our past. Because it is unhealthy to hold ourselves hostage with recurring thoughts surrounding events which aren't in this moment. I read a brilliant statement, " the only difference between a sane person and insane person is that person's ability to let go of the past. Today's 5 minute activity, is writing a letter to ourselves. This is shadow work. It's ok to acknowledge past events in this exercise. It is important to take your power back from the event if you ever felt ashamed, betrayed, foolish, violated, enraged, overwhelmed, helpless, hopeless, confused, or abandoned. Not Today. Today tell the paper how you were accountable. Even if it was as a child and you were just too young and small to fight or not brave enough to tell. And then tell the paper how and why you survived. And lastly, tell what positive traits in your personality were shaped from that event. Then, burn it. **** Outside in a safe manner with water handy to put it out. **"" If you are not an adult get an adult to do this activity with you. Then, I challenge you to change your mind. Everytime you are triggered by a negative memory. Remember how it made you stronger, better, more confident, a testimony, a powerful warrior, hopeful, and if nothing else an empathetic ear to someone else enduring similar trauma. Be here now. Think clear-wow! Look like the good life. Big hugs and high 555 Rockin Robin

For me, alchemy is an inner monologue. It is the voice in my brain that decides how I cope with life as it happens . To be honest, i have not met a single person in my lifetime that has been spared from trauma. In fact, most people have experienced similar trauma. What is it that makes one person unable to recover from a traumatic event? What makes another person recover when they endured the same trauma as the first person? It's simple: The serenity to accept what they can't change Courage to change things if they can Wisdom to know difference. IMPORTANT ADDENDUM TO OLD CLICHE ;when I can't change things and I'm struggling to Accept things... The only option left is... I change I LOOK AT PROBLEMS FROM EVERY ANGLE UNTIL I SEE HOW THEY WORK BEST FOR ME.

Confession: I am very messy, I would rather do anything other than housework... I was seeking guidance today regarding this post, and was given the word gratitude Inner monologue: "Gratitude... I'm grateful." Are you? For your clothes? Why are they not hung? For food? Why was it left out last night and trashed today? For your car? .... for work.... I realized that gratitude like love is an action not a statement. And if I'm healing and rebuilding myself, I want gratitude in every brick. This is the foundation of ourselves being poured with each activity like mixing cement. Preparation: open a door And window of your residence, Light a candle, incense, or boil some tea in a pot on the stove, choose 2 positive songs Now... Breathe in through your nose for a count of 8 and out for count of 6 Look around Express gratitude by cleaning something that has been neglected. This could be a pet, the fridge,... Yourself....Laundry...making your bed... If you aren't able to do the above suggestion. Close your eyes and envision yourself being washed clean. Like you are going through a car wash. Envision yourself scrubbing a house a car and whatever you would like to be able to clean. Big hugs and high 555 Rockin Robin
