The 8x10 Picture Frame Hanging On My Wall
In keeping with my fearless focus challenge in last month’s newsletter, I created a new mini vision board picture frame. One thing that i noticed right away was that my emotional state was positively influenced as I was creating it. For this one, I wanted incantations that I typically do (THANK YOU Tony Robbins!) plus some other text on this frame. I really could feel my spirit lift and when it put me in a new state, man, my days have been FILLED with focus, creativity, and gratitude. Those just happen to be the themes of the 3 8×10 picture frames hanging in my house that I see at least 20 times a day.
And do you know what? When you are feeling good, you are feeling God! (Thank you Wayne Dyer!)
Peace, love, and creativity,
Bill
Ever Feel This Way?
This morning I was sitting in the sauna and was drinking from my water bottle. After I finished all of the water inside, I set the bottle down next to me. After a few minutes, the bottle tipped over due to the pressure building up inside.
That got me thinking that it is very similar to dealing with anger or things that upset you. If you do not find a way to release the negative emotions, you will literally “blow” your top because of all the pent up emotions.
Hold it up Mr Bill!
After I stepped out of the sauna and into the shower, I noticed the bottle did a 180. It had compressed so much that it could not stand up. This too got me thinking. When you have negative things happen to you and you share too much with everyone else, you can easily topple over due to spreading too much negativity. I am not saying you should not share with others. No, not at all. What I am saying is that you should find a balance. Express yourself when you feel strong emotions (but do so in a positive way) and also express yourself to others when you are struggling with an issue. Maybe they have an answer for you. Just do not spend too much time talking about it and giving it more energy than it is worth. Find a balance. That is the key.
Peace and gratitude,
Bill
Fill In The Blank
Life is ___________________________________. I was listening to Tony Robbins today in my car and he said a few things that really got me thinking. In his particular audio Tony was talking about metaphors. Specifically how we use them in either empowering or destructive ways. Take a few minutes to fill in the blank. I suggest to write down 10 things that you believe life is. Try to do this without thinking too much. Just put down what you normally say or hear others saying. Then look for anything that has a negative connotation to you and cross them out. It is time for a new metaphor. For example if you wrote, “Life is a struggle,” mark a line through it. Then change it to something softer. Maybe something like this, “Life is like the spring. Sometimes it storms but other times it springs beautiful sunny days.” You see, that just feels better, doesn’t it?
Life is ____________________________________. Fill in the blank now, mark off the negative ones, and watch your life “Spring” into a brilliance.
Peace, gratitude, and sunny days!

February's Picture Frame

If you haven’t created your own picture frames to put on your desk, I strongly encourage you to do so NOW! It will raise your spirits and make you feel good.

Kindness Today
Today is a good day to do something kind for yourself. I know that it is probably easier to do something kind for someone else, but today, do something for yourself. I am going to do a few things. First, I am going to do one thing that I have been putting off for quite some time. Then I am going to create my mini vision board picture frame for February. In considering what I would do today, I wanted to make sure to do something that was fun. I realized that haven’t played any games (xBox, online, etc) in a long, long time. So with that in mind, I am going to take an hour or so and play a game. I cringe as I think about the wasted time that I could be doing something productive but you know, it is productive when you think about it. Doing something fun puts you in a good mood and it really is a good thing to do something that lets your mind rest for awhile. When you are relaxed and happy, you will automatically be helping others with your good attitude.
Peace, love, and FUN!
