It's Your Life Net Coaching

-A Tidbit, into a crumb, into a morsel --

Watch it grow and grow as it becomes that something you want in your life!

In its first week –A Tidbit was born. Today -A Tidbit begins its life. –A Tidbit is created for use by individuals and/or groups, and a new one will be shared every two weeks. It is designed to be brief and hopefully, helpful. The next edition of –A Tidbit will be August 4, 2006.

Here is –A Tidbit, No. 2.

Consider discovering your JOY. The word joy is different than like. For example, I may like lilacs; yet, inhaling the scent of the first dark purple lilac in spring is pure joy. You may like chocolate ice cream, yet even a spoonful of pistachio ice cream, oozing with pistachio nuts means a truly joyful experience.

I discovered that green lights while driving bring joy, red not so joyful. When I think of one or two things on my TRULY JOYFUL list while waiting for the red light, the time tends to speed pleasantly by. The potentially frustrating red-light minutes are quickly replaced with a smile and less tension.

Suggestion: Page through a magazine(s) or publication(s) until you discover a photo, an article or a word(s) that JUMPS off the page, truly resonates or ROCKS YOUR WORLD. Avoid being sidetracked with cutting recipes or adding a chore to your to-do list. Don’t answer the phone. This is a great time for a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of wine. Find yourself in a time crunch? Simply set your collection aside, or take a focused 10 minutes. You are important! Put your selections directly on pages in a notebook of your choice. Congratulations! You have a JOY collection to use as a handy, quick refresher or a source of creativity. Enjoy!

Please note, a moment of clarification. -A Tidbit will be designed as a positive thought. Negative thoughts are something else. Also, a large thank you to my R&D Team!!!! You know who you are, and you are special.
