Keeping the momentum going with Hope

 

Create the Life You Love, the Creator-based® Way!

MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION

Hey friend! Can you believe January is almost over?  All the excitement about What’s Your Word and Your INSPIRED Goals may be beginning to fade.  But don’t worry- the month of self-love is fast approaching.
 
As we finish this first month in 2024, let's visit for a minute on hope for the future.  As holiday excitement and New Year resolutions fade, hope may fade, too.  But here are a few tips and tricks to keep the hope going-
 
  1. Remember something you are grateful for.  I always feel more hopeful when remembering the good things in my life.  Indoor plumbing, central heat, and air, and clean, clear water straight from the tap top my list.  What’s on yours?
  2. Change is a gift.  Whatever is happening in my life right now will soon pass.  Change is a constant in life.  If I’m in a good season, remembering change is coming helps me be more present and drink in all that goodness.  If things are rough, I know it won’t last.  Change is coming.  Such a gift!
  3. Combat your negative thoughts.  Last week, we talked on the podcast about measuring our thoughts using three questions- Is this thought kind? Is it true? Is it helpful?  If your thought can’t pass all three tests, discard it like you would an old chewed piece of gum.  Get yourself a fresh one! The flavor is better, and choose a thought to make you smile.  I like all things minty fresh!
 
If you chose a word for the year, this is a good time to practice doodling it.  Did you know we have a Combatting Stress workshop coming up next Saturday morning? It’s actually using the power of doodling, among other things, to feel better and let go of the stress that can shadow your hope.
Join us! it’s free, but filling fast with limited seating.  Get your seat here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/788737022667?aff=oddtdtcreator

Have a great week y’all!
:) Beth

 
 
 
“HOPE” IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS -
 
THAT PERCHES IN THE SOUL -
 
AND SINGS THE TUNE WITHOUT THE WORDS -
 
AND NEVER STOPS - AT ALL -
 
 
AND SWEETEST - IN THE GALE - IS HEARD -
 
AND SORE MUST BE THE STORM -
 
THAT COULD ABASH THE LITTLE BIRD
 
THAT KEPT SO MANY WARM -
 
 
I’VE HEARD IT IN THE CHILLEST LAND -
 
AND ON THE STRANGEST SEA -
 
YET - NEVER - IN EXTREMITY,
 
IT ASKED A CRUMB - OF ME.

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....
