Episode 67 Tools to Keep Momentum Going

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- 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? 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! 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.
