Your Mind is In Charge of You

Your mind's thoughts are what drives you, moves you away from the computer, you decide to stay in bed all day, or put your sneakers on and exercise. Your mind chooses what you eat, what you say, what you do.

Your mind compliments you; your mind beat you up. What percentage of your thoughts are joyful and happy thoughts, and what percentage are not. What are you willing to do to be joyful and happy?

-A Tidbit --- The next time a sentence contains the word "should," stop and right then decide if the should is something you want to do/need to do, or if it is something that you would rather live without. Then either put it on paper and discard it -- or, change the word "should" to "will" and plan step one to make it happen.

NEW BLOG FACE

This blog is being remodeled, a recorded piece will be added, and other stuff. So, please continue to take a look, don't hesitate to leave comments or offer a suggestion.

It is growing in order for me to share more of what I am observing. It's Your Life Net coaching and this blog, -A Tidbit, are designed to be a catalyst and a safety net.

CHANGES HAPPEN EVERY DAY -----

Interesting where topics come from. Today I was listening and a fellow coach mentioned threshhold with regard to change. Each day we find ourselves on a threshhold of something, as change happens to every person every day. Even if it is simply putting on clean underwear. Choices occur minute by minute - do we walk through the door or move to another. What steps do we need to take in order to be fully involved and in the room.

This can also equate to the upcoming Christmas Holiday. That is what I know, Christmas, so I can blog about it. I do recognize there are other holidays that others celebrate. Yet, this is about Christmas. All the hustle and bustle itself is challenging and creates stress. So, does the fact that within families each year kids grow up, parents grow older, people move away, people pass away, people break up. Each year Christmas comes, and people's expectations can be interesting, at best. We currently are at the Christmas threshhold. It is a great place to take another look at this Christmas. What works, what does not, how can it be improved, what do I personally need, and what do others whom I love want and need.

Now is the time to begin to communicate and plan. Already I have made plans for church on Christmas Eve, and I'm beginning to plan for Christmas dinner. In fact as I write this I am going to make some invitations for Christmas dinner. There must be other single people who would like to share a dinner.

Christmas is not about trees, ribbon, gifts, candy, and, and, and. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. It is a celebration of being Christian and a PERFECT time and opportunity exists to do something for someone else simply to do something for someone else.

IS CONTROVERSY SOME PEOPLE'S CANDY?

Ann Coulter spews acidic opinionated remarks from the hip quite often. I'm wondering if it is simply to be seen and heard, and she has found curious ears to hear and eyes to read. Is creating controversy some people's sugar rush, perhaps? Oh, she is not the only one, yet she seems to screech through and above others.

I believe in everyone having the right to free speech; yet, when do vicious comments suggest freedom.

If you don't know who Ann Coulter is, I'm sure you can use Google. This is not to promote her. If you are a fan, I'm asking for some understanding, and I'm simply curious. If you are not, thank you.

This may seem to be an unusual post. I was simply looking through some notes, saw this topic and decided to share.

Happy Monday!

COMING SOON -----

You have been reading my words, and I thank you. Within a few weeks you will be able to hear my voice as a recording will be added to the blog. Stay tuned!

AN INEXPENSIVE, YET RICH GIFT SUGGESTION

Have you ever thought --- which is louder a monster thunder storm or the silence of a phone not ringing.

As the Thanksgiving and holiday season approaches, thoughts will be on people present, past and a vision of those, perhaps in the future. As we transform into the holiday preparation persona, faster and faster each day the normal "stuff" needs doing, then add shopping, decorating, cooking, baking, cleaning, polishing, last minute gifts, etc. etc. etc. ----

take a minute, pick up the phone and say -- "Hello, I was just thinking of you and I smiled, how are you?" That is the richest gift you can give to another, and one that can cost the least.

Or, is there a person you have not seen or spoken to in awhile -- call them - break the ice. Let the wasted, wondering mind energy fall away creating space for bright and productive thoughts.

THANKSGIVING PREPARATION - I THANK YOU!

Thanksgiving is next week and the holiday season will be upon us.

The past two years for this writer have been ripe with change in more environments than I previously thought existed. Environments -- Financial, Spiritual, Memetic, Relationship, Home, Transportation, Exercise, and Personal, to name a few.

I am here today to give a huge thank you to the readers of this blog, to those that tell others about it, and who join it for the first time, and for Blogger for the opportunity to write and share what is on my mind. Each day I thank God for what I have received and experienced, and I acknowledge what I have accomplished that day and prepare for the next.

At the end each day, before bedtime with another or alone, I suggest that you take a few minutes to personally acknowledge a job well done for that day. Nothing is too small -- trimmed toe nails, a bed made, bills paid, or, it is Friday. Create a book and enter a page each day. You are your own best friend - pats on the back begin with you. When you begin to appreciate yourself - others will also. You are then contagious.

Happy Thanksgiving --

Holiday - Depressed? Shift to Happy and to Joy

Although they are meant for celebration, the approaching holidays, for many, bring thoughts and feelings of loneliness, emptiness, sorrow, wishful thinking, despair, change and many others very personal.

The design of this blog is to offer and share -A Tidbit. This is a ripe time of year to grab -A Tidbit and begin to create a holiday designed for what YOU need and want. Life's changes uncover loved ones removed from our lives for many reasons - death, relationship breakups, and quarrels to name a few. I have had them all, and I still enjoy the holidays for what they are meant to be. Yes, faces involved with my celebrations have changed, yet the spirit of the holidays is everlasting.

As time moves toward the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, this blog will offer thoughts through tidbits to enable 2008 to become a shining year for YOU. Your thoughts and intentions CREATE your future days. When you begin today, counting today, you will have 13 days to begin to create a wonderful THANKSGIVING Day and other holidays will follow.

Suggestion: As a beginning, check out an earlier -A Tidbit entitled "Traditions - Drain or Energy?"

Namaste ----

I have never used this site, yet it has interesting information on it. There is a ton of stuff under "Latest Articles." I took a quick tour through it, though I have enough projects right now.

If you do, please post your comments, thoughts -- worth it, or not.
