Creator-based® Canaries

 


Yeah, I know that's a pelican- not a canary, but work with me here, k?  

Today we will talk about emotions, their purpose, recognizing & handling them, and how to pick the right inner voice to listen to..... We have so many!


Newsflash! As a human being, you are a bundle of ever-changing emotions. You have no choice whether you have feelings or not. They are always happening. Why?


Emotions can be likened to the canary in the coal mine. She is always there, hanging out. When the air is good, there is happy singing. When the canary crashes, you know the air quality is not good, and it's time to get out. Feelings are valuable clues to show what is good or not good for you. Pay attention to them. Keep your canary happy and healthy.


The good news is that you can choose how to respond to the feelings coursing through you.  You can also greatly influence your emotions by the thoughts you habitually think. 


Your habitual thoughts make the difference between smacking your thumb with a hammer and streaming curses and angst or smashing your thumb and walking it off while you breathe deeply. It’s all about how you choose to practice responding to your inner voice regularly.


You have a centered, confident, calm, and courageous inner voice, as well as many others. There may be the voice of your anxious third-grade self, belligerent 11-year-old, wounded 15-year-old, angry 25-year-old, or a parent, sibling, teacher, or boss voice in your head.  Listen to the voice that has your best interest at heart. The one that says, "Take all the time you need." or "Keep trying; you've got this." Listen to the loving, supportive voice/thought that makes your canary sing. 


Hold on to that thought; send the others away. Practice creating thoughts that will send your canary into a loving song filled with excitement and confidence. This week for self-care, make a list of the thoughts that make you feel good and take time to read and practice them every day. You'll be glad you did.


Your canary and your heart will be happy!

Have a great self-care week- you're worth it! 

All my love,

Beth

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

Creator-based® Coaching is born!

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
