Try a little lovin'

Chi Chat – Try a little lovin’

February, known as the ‘month of love’ is upon us again.
Chi and I would like to explore this with you, and encourage you to ‘Try a little loving’!

Do you remember the FIRST time you ‘fell in love’?
How amazing even ordinary things seemed?
Stop for a moment and have a multi-sensory re-experience if that time:
Who was it? When was it? How did you feel? What did you do? What did the world look like?

LOVE IS ALL IN YOUR MIND!

YES! You can create, or diminish, that feeling – it is started in your brain.

And the first, and most important person to love, is YOURSELF!
Think: if you don’t love yourself, how easy will it be for anyone else to love you?

This year, try a little loving’ of YOURSELF!

How to try a little lovin’ on yourself?

Start with a loving’ myself inventory:
What are my strengths? How well do I care for myself? How do I think of myself?
And what would be some simple things to do increase the self-worth/lovin’ inventory?

Then, what are some special treats you might give to yourself?
A walk in nature; a long bubble bath; listen all the way through a favourite piece of music; squirty cream on a hot chocolate or time with a friend?

Send out the lovin’ vibe

How about imagining yourself cuddled in a big heart – you are love its-self.
And with your brain/heart you beam forth love to all.
Try this just for a while’ wear a smile; share your love; send it out through your eyes –
and just watch what happens…

Try a little lovin'
Try a little lovin’

Chi and I send boundless love and joy to you!

The simple secret to success

Chi Chat – The simple secret to success

YES! Here is the remarkably simple secret to success!

Happy New Year! How has the new year started for you?

Make your happy new year ALL you want it to be!

I really enjoy that ‘in-between week’ from after xmas to the start of the new year.
I use it to clean out files and summarise what has happened over the past year.
I feel quite holy when there is a nice pile of recyclable papers on the floor and I have slim and well labelled files!
And then there are the surprises of what had actually happened the previous year.
Do you find you had forgotten, even big things? Some seem longer ago and others more recent.
However a quick summary map provides a great picture and record of that year.

True confession time!

When, in January 2022, I looked back at my map of the goals for 2021, I was quite disappointed in myself that I had not achieved what were reasonable and I thought important for me, goals. Although I had been ‘busy’ all through, many were only half addressed.
I was not pleased with me. It made me look at what could I do better in 2022.

So, here is the simple secret to success

At the start of 2022 I made my map of goals and things that were important to me, that I wanted to achieve.
I printed it and put it on my notice board right by my computer.
Then, AND THIS IS THE CRUCIAL PART, I put a reminder for the last day of each month to take down my map, see how I was doing and mark on it!

My summary map and year / quarter future year map

A steering wheel to drive success

Oh my! As I started 2023 and summarised 2022 I was thrilled to see that simple action, of checking my goals map once a month, had meant that I had MORE than achieved all I had intended – SUCCESS!

This one simple act, takes only a few minutes and gently directs your energy to achieve the things you most want to do and be.

SO simple and SO effective and SO successful – you still have time to make yours for this year, why not give it a go?
Please let me know your results!

This is YOUR life!
This is YOUR life!
