| Release the impediments that are blocking your possibilities! |
I was recently reading Leo Babauta’s blog www.zenhabits.net, and really liked his
idea of cultivating simplicity by planning to give up certain things… but for a
month. The recommended jumping off point
for his site is http://zenhabits.net/start/. There’s a lot of info here, so check it out.
As I mentioned yesterday, we’re fast approaching the month
of August… two days away, gulp! Why not
think of something that you could give up for one month and practice it in
August? Perhaps it’s a habit you want to
stop, or a food that your body would be better off without… just take some time in the next two days to
ruminate over the possibilities of what could be decluttered from your mind,
body, calendar that would improve your life.
This isn’t something to stress over, but something to joyfully look
forward to – sort of like, “Yeah, I’m gonna start reading more by eliminating television
for August!” Concentrate on the benefits
of whatever it is that may be (even this moment) coming into your mind. Pray about it. Meditate on it. What is tripping you up, entangling itself
around your best self, keeping you from the better/healthier/more you… YOU?
I’d love to hear from you to see what you’re planning on
eliminating so email me at linda@coachlindabush.com and I'll share the results here.
There’s a word (I love
words)… ELIMINATE. To remove or get rid
of, especially as being in some way undesirable. To omit, especially as being unimportant or
irrelevant, leave out. To remove from
further consideration. To
eradicate. To void or expel. Wow – power images, yes?
What is something that is undesirable in your life?
What needs to be omitted because it’s
irrelevant or unimportant?
What needs to
be removed from further consideration?
Whew – these are influential and significant questions that need time to
be digested. Perhaps it’s not a thing
but an attitude. For example, “I will
stop looking at my husband’s bad points and only concentrate on his good points
in August, and be sure to highlight them and praise him for it.” Imagine how that could improve your
relationship and help you rediscover the love of the man you are blessed to
have as your husband. Works with kids
and friends and other family members as well.
So… that’s your assignment for August, should you choose to
accept it (theme of Mission: Impossible playing in the background for
inspiration and motivation).
What will
you eliminate/eradicate/omit/rid yourself of for 31 days this summer?
Imagine the potential, the promise of what
could happen because of this one decision – get jazzed and get going! Miracles are awaiting you!
Blessings,
