Adversity, Hard Times and Trouble; Why Not You? Some years ago, our family was going through a tough time. We had suffered lots of financial, medical and emotional stress. It became so overwhelming that we approached an older man from our church for counsel. Are You Stuffed Like a Turkey? In America, Thanksgiving traditionally means family, friends, and especially food. We cook and eat as if there was a scarcity of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and creamy vegetables. We dive into pumpkin pie as if there was a national law that says it can only be served and eaten one day a year. Broke or Poor? One is Temporary and One is Forever Flat Broke. Wow, that is not a good place to be Right now, it seems to be a popular place inhabited by lots of nice people who didn’t ask or deserve to be there. But it is a place, and you can move from one place to another place. Broke means having no money to spend (right now), totally bankrupt and insolvent (right now). To be broke is to me the opposite of resilient, or flexible. Broken can be mended and frequently is better and stronger than before. Character; Foundation of Self-Confidence Success in building character is to build self confidence. Complain, Criticize or Change - Don’t be part of the problem, be the solution "So you watch yourself about complaining, Sister. What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is to change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain." Maya Angelou Criticism, Control and Cutting Remarks "You have such a pretty face; it’s too bad you are overweight." "How could you be so dumb?" "You did that wrong again." "What is the matter with you? Aren’t you listening?" "You are just like your dad and he was a loser too." Deflect Criticism - Enhance Relationships Here are some methods I have found to be effective in deflecting criticism, while enhancing relationships. Discovering Color in Our Food and Life Those who come from a sense of lack are concerned with having enough to eat. They desire quantity and want to be full, because they are not sure where the next meal is coming from. They are afraid of hunger and tend to choose white starches and carbohydrates because they are cheap and filling. Do Your Beliefs Control Your Actions? Everybody has beliefs. No matter who you are or where you're from, you hold beliefs about life. They may not be religious or spiritual beliefs, but rather beliefs about life and what it holds. Beliefs about how you should live. The problem is, it's easy to let your beliefs control you, instead of you controlling your beliefs. Finding Gold in the Rocks - Reframe Negative Self-Imposed Traits into Positive Traits Too often, people criticize themselves and call themselves names. Sometimes we even take on the names other people have given us throughout our lives, even if we don't deserve them. We sometimes base our life on those negative traits, whether they're true or not. This is unhealthy, and an overall negative way to live your life. Give the Gift of Courage and Encouragement Encouraging words are extremely powerful. When you encourage somebody, you are giving them a gift of courage. It compels them to move forward, to achieve more in life than just the bare minimum. Knowing that somebody wants you to succeed, and tells you so, can give you the courage and the confidence to truly do so. Helping Others-Natural Compassion Sometimes, helping others is as natural as breathing. It comes natural for many people. They radiate nurture and acceptance to those they come in contact with during their daily journey. Manners, Etiquette & Politeness Quiz with Auntie Artichoke People with good manners have the ability to make others feel comfortable. How you behave in social situations will have a big reflection on how those who work or interact with you will perceive you and judge your character in other areas of your life. Money Will Buy a Dog, But Won't Buy The Wag of His Tail 'Tis the season to be jolly, but 'tis also the time of year when many people are faced with financial crises and find themselves flat broke. The Holidays are jam packed with food, family, friends, and frustrations. We may want a pet for our children, but what they need is to learn the lessons a pet can teach. Next Time and Up Until Now - Mistake or Learning Experience? If you've made a mistake recently and you feel like beating yourself up about it, take a moment to think. Will this mistake affect your happiness for the rest of your life? Probably not. Say to yourself, "next time!" and think about how you'll handle a similar situation if it ever happens again. You've learned from your mistake now, instead of letting it get you down into a negative mindset. Overcome Negative Self Talk with Encouragement How do you typically define yourself? Do you tell yourself as well as others that you are disorganized, financially challenged or simply not good enough? Presents or Presence? Which Gift is the Most Priceless? Do you remember the old nursery rhymes from Mother Goose? Does your cupboard feel bare? How about your bank account? What about your wallet? Are you dreading gift gifting time because you used to give such wonderful gifts and you are afraid others will expect it of you this year? Respect versus Ridicule-Giving Feedback Your intention is to motivate a child or employee to do better. You are clear in your mind what you want to achieve and the behavior that you want changed. You expect to be listened to and obeyed! You are right and they are wrong. Someday, they will be grateful that you cared enough to show them what they were doing incorrectly. Sequencing - If I Knew Then What I Know Now Sequencing is the one word that sums up what I know to be true. It took me some time to really "get it." It being that you can have, be and accomplish anything you want in life, but not all at one time. Living in anticipation of this season to be over so that you can find happiness in the next is a fallacy and prime breeding ground for resentment and stomachaches. Smile! Relieve Stress, Achieve Happiness, and Relax Just by Smiling Did you know that just by smiling, you can actually make yourself feel happy? It sounds silly, and it may not be easy the first time, but it's true, it really works. Sometimes a positive attitude in negative situations can turn things around, and improve the situation. Just like a positive attitude, a simple smile can calm you when you're stressed, or improve your mood when feeling down. Stop Stress Before it Stops You Where is your stress coming from? Is the daily pressure mounting inside or outside of you? Do you feel stressed on a daily basis or just occasionally? Are you subconsciously adding to your feelings of frustration? Perhaps you are sabotaging your self by not being honest about what you need. The Second Half of My Life Have you ever wondered what your destiny in life was? Did you ever ponder whether the road you were on was the one leading to fulfillment and happiness? Unlike so many of my friends and family, I have always had the sure knowledge of what was expected of me.
