How often have you taken yourself out of the game?

Fear, perfectionism, feelings of unworthiness will stop us dead in our tracks and steal our dreams, our hopes and our possibilities.

How have you taken yourself out in the past…

By playing small?

By pretending all was well when it wasn’t?

By imagining the worst?

By staying with what you know and where you are comfortable – even when it gets uncomfortable?

By waiting until the time was right, you lost 20 pounds, or the kids went to school – or graduated – or moved out?

What would happen if you stepped in and played full-on in this game of life?

• I forgive myself for believing I need to take myself out in those ways anymore.
• I give myself permission to take a step in the direction of my dreams.
• I can take myself out, or I can step into what I desire – trying to do both keeps me stuck, so I choose to take a step toward my dreams.
• I am free to action my desires today by vividly imagining what it would feel like to support myself in attaining what I desire.   
• I moved toward my dreams when I decided to support myself.
• I am stepping into what I desire today by…

I “took myself out” today in a way I highly recommend…

I packed a picnic, picked up my partner and went to the park downtown for Shakespeare on the Bow – an open air production of The Tempest.

                        “We are such stuff as dreams are made on”

                                                                William Shakespeare The Tempest

What dreams are YOU made of? What hopes and wishes might you realize with your own support? How might you “take yourself out” of the old habit, and treat yourself to a new way that supports and nurtures your dreams?

Namaste,

Songs are powerful force – the combination of words and music go deep into your subconscious. Research tells us that hearing is the last sense to leave as we die, and those who suffer with Alzheimer’s are often able to “sing along” after the ability to have a conversation is gone.

You likely remember the words to songs that were popular when you were a teenager, listening to songs over and over and over, and literally burning the messages onto the hard drive of your mind. Even the jingles from the television ads you have not heard since your childhood will surface from your subconscious with the slightest nudge.

I arrived home late this evening, tired and a bit rattled following an intense, productive and fascinating day. Sitting down to compose this note to you, I was having challenges finding the thread of my thoughts…and then Phil picked up his guitar and began playing “It’s a Wonderful World”. It is one of those songs that always “does it” for me, and brings me back to my center. Immediately I calmed down, my body relaxed, and my thoughts began to flow. I’m grateful for and blessed by the music in my life.

• I forgive myself for believing that it doesn’t matter what I listen to.
• I give myself permission to “up” the vibration of the music I let into my mind!
• I choose to listen to music that has supportive messages.
• I am free to proactively create a personalized playlist. I do this to support myself!
• I know what it feels like to be centered by a piece of music – some of the songs that “do it” for me are….
• I am conscious of the power of music and use it to support myself.

I’d love to hear what is on your personalized playlist…and if you haven’t created that easily accessible file on your computer or device, what a great gift to yourself…It will be there to support you on demand!

Namaste,

Suze
