A recorded shorter version of this post is here if you prefer to listen.
Today is my moment and now is my story. I’ll laugh and I’ll cry and I’ll sing....
Today is my moment…
Tonight we continue 31 Keepsakes* with the #Mentoring My Moments series..over the next 10 days we’re gonna rev it up a bit, put on those big girl or big boy pants and step into our now a bit stronger, steadier, wiser, now-er.
And now is my story…
Activity 1: Commit yourself to your thoughts
In whatever way you best record ideas for yourself (iphone notes application, laptop, spiral, recorded notes, postits on fridge, lipstick on your mirror)
Respond to this statement:
For the next 10 days, I will forbid entry — in thought — to _______________.
(Think: Pick one, not all, just one, of the ways that inner bugger — your ‘not me’ — tries to bother you).
Commit to forbidding it entry through the door of thought.
I’ll laugh
Giggle with me: We’re taking over the mental house and exercising our right to do so. Whee!!!
I’ll cry
No question: It’s gonna be hard to keep this commitment to ourselves. But we can do this. If you’ve applying the “mommy my moments” keepsakes, you’re already getting how to hold your hand. And guess what? I’m right here committing with you, holding your hand too and reminding you you can do this.
I’ll sing
After you write your commitment statement? Sing. Release. Express yourself tangibly. Dance. Squeal. Celebrate.
Committing ourselves to our ‘me’ and committing ourselves to rooting out our ‘not me’ is worth every song out there, doesn’t matter if you’re into folk or classic rock, or alternative or big band. 🙂
Happy to sing with you
If you’d like to share with me the what you are committing to, I would value hearing and knowing. You’re welcome to leave a comment below or send an email to me at tre at thought by thought dot net.
Thanks so much for committing your now to you and for participating in the #31 Keepsakes series.
Here’s to #mentoring our moments.
Hugs 2 u,
Tre ~
