  “There is not a subject of greater importance. The subject of self-appreciation is literally at the heart of everything.” Abraham-Hicks

  Listening to recordings on my walk this morning on this topic of self-appreciation, immediately I felt more connected to my “enoughness” and innate goodness.

  I don’t know about you, but when I am in a good mood and I am offering positive energy in my day, then I am more likely to have positive interactions. Furthermore, when I’m really holding my point of attention on positive aspects of myself and everything else, the cranksters and potential annoyances don’t rock my boat.  But what an every day and every moment practice this is! It’s so easy to find fault, even a little one…this morning I complained about how in NY I can’t put my own cream in my coffee!  In Seattle… I saw myself do this, laughed, and came back to giving my attention to aspects of my positive reality.   So, it’s an all the time practice. I’m never off the hook.  I hope as I practice it becomes again natural to hold myself in a positive place of possibility and attraction. Last night, I watched that John Clease laughter video I posted a couple days ago, that helps!  My boyfriend also does a great imitation of Jim Carey and that gets me going.  It really is however, my desire to feel good and my intentional focus that shifts the balance of how I feel.

  Hope you have fun with your practices.   After all, we do “Rock the Casbah” – just as we are!  Here and now.

  Love, Coyote

  LAUGH – Part 2:

  I’m still on the topic of laughter.  Laughing at a funny movie last night (and the human condition portrayed so well in Little Miss Sunshine), and still laughing today at the memory of laughing last night (that’s interesting don’t you think).  It may be a good practice just to sit back, close our eyes and remember funny scenes from our lives or movies.

  Hope you enjoy this video or find the ones that move your belly to shakin.’

  Love,

  Coyote

  I am inspired to share this Facebook status by a dear friend who just lost a pet she loved.

  "Constructively turning all bits of coal to diamonds. I prefer a sparkly life!"

  I love her strong intention to create her life according to her desire.  It’s not good nor bad to feel how we feel, the real question is, are we where we want to be? What’s our preference now?

  Thanks Melissa! I too enjoy living my life in the sparkle, including the sun bouncing off my tears as I miss the way I felt in the pressence of our dog who passed on last month.  He always rememded me how good it feels to love and live in the moment.

  Love, Coyote

  My aim is to move through my day attending to the thing that feels inspired in the moment.  Sometimes I get worked up about my to do list, my inner-critic’s banter about doing more, etc.

  It takes a little time and attention to return to my inspired place, but always the outcomes are better than pushing to just get something done. After all, I feel better!  Inspired action always feels the best!

  The list never gets done. As Tolle says, "We must become friendly with the present moment," ourselves here and now.  It’s how we can connect with our joy.

  I wish you kind thoughts about who you are here and now, starting with something small in appreciation and moving downstream from there!  Maybe it’s a breath or a walk around the block looking for an appreciative feeling to arise.
  Love, Coyote

  Not driven by lack nor by fear. I want to live by inspiration that comes swift and clear or soft and slow. I expect and delight in knowing it (my inspiration) is close at hand!

  I hope you are living more and more of the time in your centered place where inspiration thrives.  Love, Coyote

  Feeling blah!? When we don’t  feel 100% our desire for wellness is very strong, as is our incentive to become really deliberate about what we are giving our attention to.  It’s an opp0rtunity to practice looking for reasons to smile and laugh, and appreciate vitality everywhere – in others, in nature, and especially in ourselves!

  Something got stuck in my eye yesterday and I became very aware of it’s swelling.  Looking at it in the mirror didn’t help, so I looked instead to shift my awareness to more pleasant aspects of my broader experience.  I wrote a love letter (appreciation), then lay back with my eyes closed and entertained possible scenarios for an upcoming adventure (visualize).

  If negative thoughts and assessments creep back in, you can see it as a chance to practice selecting a focus that feels better! No need to be hard on yourself (I can go there & it’s so fruitless!), instead look to know more of your positive qualities.  Maybe you make a list and let it build.

  I wish you a sense of your natural vitality! Love, Coyote

  Fears, a web of worry, a little spiral of stress, negative anticipation, disgruntled feelings, etc…

  We have to do whatever we have to do to stop that train (if we want to feel well and create the opportunities for what we actually want)!

  I have several practices that help me, one I recommend is to simply take a break from excessive thinking, doing, or staring the problem in the face, and sit still.  Call it meditation or whatever you like.  My crazy “monkey” mind got going today, fortunately, I caught myself early and did the following practice:

  PRACTICE IDEA:  Pause and check in on how you are feeling.  If there are worries occupying your thoughts decide to take 5.  Find a place to sit alone if possible, or put in some headphones to cancel out some noise (I’ve done this on the NYC subway).  Set your cellphone or watch for 5 minutes.  Close your eyes and focus on breathing naturally in and out.  Keep all your attention on your breath.  As your mind wanders back into “thinking,” say “thank you” to the reminder to get back to your breath.  When your time is up, say, “Now I’m open to some positive thoughts, I expect to find one then another, and feel better and better.”   Return to the practice anytime you feel stuck, frustrated or hyper-focused on what’s bothering you.  You could also look for some reason to laugh or smile.

  I wish you the best!

  The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.  FDR

• Welcome To My Blog

  I know that life can be a delicious adventure, so I've embarked on a quest to know it as such through experience. In the process, I'm learning to get out of my own way and laugh more. My intention is not to tell you "the" way, there are many ways and your inner-resources and personal experience can guide you. However, something here may inspire you to seek a direction or follow an idea that already resonates for you. I wish you the best conditions for your life adventure.
