Energize Yourself!
Posted using ShareThis
Here is a link to the yoga sequence I did this morning- I found it under the word, "Energizing," which seemed right for waking up on a Tuesday morning. And energizing it was!
May I just add that I love my new little cell phone, which woke me up gently this morning so I had time to do yoga (I can't use alarm clocks because their sound is usually too jarring, I'm so pissed when one wakes me up, that I just go back to bed).

Here's some inspiration I could use (Amy has been exceptional about applying this advice lately): Go ahead and take pictures of your own. If you don't have a camera, borrow one. Take some good ones too. Feature them on your blogs. Share them with your friends. Heck, take pictures with your friends. Many a time, I've turned an uninteresting moment into a fun and memorable one by slipping out my camera and taking photos. Take pictures of yourself, your food, your home, your knickknacks (if you have any), anything! Bonne chance!

Those Things You Need to Take Care of Tomorrow?
Take care of them Today.
You'll have extra time tomorrow to wake up or whatever else.
[maybe even time for that thing you didn't know when you would have time for]
One little favor for yourself.
Oh, Mona...
Start Dreaming
We can't make our dreams come true until we've dreamed them up.
Pluck a dream from your imagination, and go with it.
There's no better time than now.

Puzzle Time!
Fact: your brain needs exericise as much as the rest of your body does! So what better way to start off the morning than with a little mind-jog??

Be "Childish"
No; I don't mean throw tantrums until you get what you want, or shake off responsibilities (even though, for a day, it might be nice).
I mean, be fascinated by the world around you. Be curious, and playful. Use that energy you've been storing so long for Lord-knows-what! There is SO MUCH you don't know; even about the things you are around every day. Discover these things. Try to look at things from a child's perspective. It'll give you a new look at life.

Mr LeNez
Maybe there's only one. Maybe you have ten. Write it down.
Here are some of mine:
1. Pumpkin pie
2. My basement
3. Stone after it rains
4. Dryer sheets
5. Coffee
6. My stuffed animals
Once you've got that, keep it on your mind. Put a special effort into smelling at least one of these things today. It's sure to life your mood. :)

POST-IT!
One of my worst traits is being late, in all ways possible - missing deadlines, due-dates, and being unable to be early to any events.
But I will not just accept this about myself, I will strive to do better always! So, I put together this huge calendar on my wall right next to my desk/work area so that I can easily see first of all what day it is, and secondly what I have going on that day, what assignments are due, when I work, what deadlines are coming up, etc, so I can plan ahead. I can write things down in my planner all I want, but where am I supposed to write "check your planner"? So, this is my very in-the-face solution!
My challenge to you is to identify a bad trait of yours that you would like to improve upon, and find a solution to help yourself do better, just like I did! (And I will continue to use this method to tackle other not-so-great traits!)
Bonus Points if you blog about your bad trait & your plan of action! (Pictures are very welcome!) Comment & post a link back to your blog here!

My Advice To You
the suffering of a loved one. That being said, hear this:
If this is the case, the one you love would
never
want you to be suffering as a result of their own.
Compassion is never out of place,
and still we must remember
to take care of ourselves.
{for our own sakes, and the sakes of our loved ones}
