Tis the Season to Do Less and Expect More!

 

 
 
 
Monday Morning Inspiration
Hey, have you noticed the holidays are upon us? Yes? The screaming Black Friday advertising has really been something, and today, as you know already, is Cyber Monday. 
 
With all this advertising, I get an inner ‘gift-giving script’running.
 
 It starts with an advertising message, a great deal, a suggestion of ‘free happiness with purchase’…..
What if I miss a sale? Better get it now!
I need to buy —— for ——- don’t forget!
Oh, maybe that’s not really good enough…
They’re gonna be disappointed-
AND IT ESCALATES!
 
Buy more.
Do more.
Be more.
 
Ick! 
 
Here’s an idea that has helped me a lot. 
It has brought me back to myself. 
I hope it will do the same for you.
I learned this lesson recently when I worked too hard and got myself all out of whack. 
When I finally paused to rest and listen, my Creator pointed out that I didn’t need to work as hard as I was.

It’s the power of community.
We live in a collective with other human beings.
There are billions of people on this planet.
Living and loving in a collective group will allow you to do less and expect more. 
 
Now, don’t stop reading- I promise there’s something good here for you…
 
If we each do a little good today, amazing things can and will happen.
 
It was not for me to work like I had to save the world.
It’s not for you to save the world.
It is for me to do a Little Good and then rest and trust.
There are so many others helping along side you.  Just watch.
It’s for you to do a little bit of good, and then rest and trust too.
You can reset and find joy as you do your little bit and
trust that our Creator has the rest.
In this way, we can do less and expect more.
 
Ideas for doing “a little” good:
Smile at someone
Say thank you.
Pay for the person behind you in line.
‘Cheerfully’ make way for that pushy someone in a hurry.
Extend kind compassion to an aggravator.
Tell yourself “it’s okay”
Because it is.
 
If each of us does a little good today, just a little, the world will be exponentially better. 
All it takes is a moment and you can know you have done your part.
The satisfaction of having done your little bit will accelerate your progress
and you really will do less and accomplish more.
 
Try it today.  Do a little good.  Just a little.  
All my love, 
Beth

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....

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...
