Reflection time...bring what doesn't serve us to the surface

 Good morning

This morning I decided to get the "pulse" of "mass mind" and see where things are at and what has been "smelting" to the surface.

If I said the words "pseudo" concern....how would you respond? With curiosity I hope...but many may get it.

Life gives us many moments and opportunity to bring what doesn't serve us to the surface for us to decide on and move on from....

SOoooo.....what are your real thoughts saying?

Stop, and pause.....

What are the thoughts for those on your block? In the houses across the street? For that co-worker you sat with on your lunches? For the children that pass your house on the way to school each day? For the businesses that creating an inviting and welcoming space for people to gather and connect?

It's time to give deeper consideration to what and who IS around you. And oddly enough, how to be at YOUR best health and mindset so that you can support those around you.

I will tell you, I have been receiving many messages from people asking what is the best thing to do for this and that at this time.

Because our practice (within our family and contribution to the world) is about focusing on building up the body, the spirit, AND the mind for improved and sustainable wellness. Because autoimmunity influences many of my choices, I stay in the practice of observance, growth, and daily improvements for my health.

And I will admit, I have let a few things slide. WE ALL have! There was a mass complacency and settling into comfort that happened for many of us. Many of our good habits and directions took a turn and may have even come off the rails....

SO what is one of things the "mass mind" is sharing right now? Hatred. Seething, gnashing, teeth-clenching hatred. You got a problem with someone else's actions, and you feel "justified" to bring "commentary" to the table? Have you found yourself "sneering" or taking pictures of empty shelves? Why?

Comparing, looking "down" on others, being "embarrassed" that you might resemble the actions of someone you deemed as greedy and selfish while trying to meet your own needs...

LOL this is JUST on MY newsfeed! Let me tell you, many of you beautiful people are just getting swept up into "mass mind" thinking.

A "culture" of complacency, supremacy (better than who?...), and shallow consideration for one another IS coming to an end...

SO let US ALL look to which river we will be flowing down, because things are moving...

I see a WAVE of #oneanotherlove rushing forward. Let's get moved into the flow of COMPASSION and joyful appreciation of one another....we truly DON'T know each persons' situation, upbringing, mindset tools, personal experiences, so let's PLEASE not assume to know....position yourselves to know....to find a way to connect more regularly. This is a GREAT space for that!

I'm going to be sharing more in video form at this time....to give people more of the gift of connection in the face of "mass mind" calling for social distancing. For some people, that is not what they need for where they may be at. AND...I call on all my mindset peeps to do the same! (Crewbies, you know what I mean!)

Share cooking, share some encouragement over sipping tea. Share words and laughter...share your awe in nature...SHARE from your joys and love...

As I sit here wanting to share more than just thoughts, I know we can do more to lift others up, than to focus on jumping in on tearing others down.

Let's do this!!!

(This picture is where my thoughts are at right now )

What thresholds and standards are you living by?

 Disclaimer: Clickbait

This posted is inspired by all my "scoffers" out there. It's also inspired by all the people that have nothing to say about their extra "paper" purchases...and in the end, it will have very little to do with the fact that have a roll or not.

There has been several times over the last 6 months where the shelves in stores have been bare. I know you didn't notice. I did! Why? because I was running low on TP. And every time I saw it, it reminded me to buy some....and, I never did..."Bah! We still have 'some'." No, no we didn't....I mean yes, we had the two partially used rolls from our camping stash....we had the couple of rolls under the ensuite sink....we had about 12 rolls left in our Costco pack, and then the 2 mounted rolls in our washrooms...and then this "unicorn" roll that is on full display in our linen closet, but for some odd reason we never use it. OH! and we also have a roll at the back of our car...still from the summer road trip. When I FINALLY did get another package (notice, the "unicorn" is still intact ) is when I knew the rest of the packs were gone and I was spooling off of the last visible roll. That day (which was before the "rush", but not by much ), I went out and got some before anything else.

Fast forward to the conversation with my mom yesterday. I joked if she was stocked up, and she said "Yes", to which she replied "And you?" (which really meant...'Now WHY would you ask a silly question like that, when you KNOW I am always stocked up, and you BETTER have extra, because that was how you were raised...') Which made me think of all of those that actually are struggling to find now what is seemingly gone or in short supply....

Even when I felt like I had "none", I actually did have "some". But I was below my "setpoint" with what I had.

Are you maintaining your setpoints? Have you established a foundation of setpoints? What is the threshold you are living by? Are you making the most of where you are at now to "support" where you will be or want to be in the future?

I know many that have that one POINT in some areas of their lives, but in other areas it is in 'lack'. We all do...how can we bring balance to more areas of our lives and make sure we aren't just reacting and surviving, but that we are allowing ourselves choice and responding from a thriving and "whole"-istic mindset?

Establish setpoints. It's like milestones with children and growth and development. We are always looking for it....can they walk? Can they talk? Can they read? Can they write (right ) ? We establish these as milestones and then we build on it.

I wasn't even thinking of the using the "unicorn", I just knew that I have gone to a place where I didn't think I would end up....just from the mere aspect of not giving it the attention when the attention was calling for it.

There are many that will only get the 4 pack of toilet paper and consider that enough....I know how our household uses it so that I already had, AND I also know that we often host events from our home, so we keep "others" in our consideration of our consumption. We have enough for us and just enough to feed and care for those we invite into our space on a month to month basis. It may not be elaborate, but it is our setpoint for our household.

What is your "Enough" setpoint? Is it barely "enough"? Is it just "enough"? Or is it more than "enough"?

It's the difference between struggling and scrounging, barely surviving, surviving, doing well, comfortable, and thriving. Choose YOUR setpoint for across the board in your life and begin to build on it. I know I am

I'm here to be me in the lives of those that need it...including my own.

 Good morning!

There is a lot of stuff that has happened to me and that does happen to me.

Lots that other people notice and have asked about ... Lots that people have wondered "Why do you put up with that?"....And lots that people avoid me because, for them, it's too painful to have to consider...

And then, there is ALL of the magical, supernatural, and wondrous stuff that happens through me....

The stuff where people think I am weird, where people get curious and cautious at the same time LOL, where I am accepted and respected as an aware person by people who do or have done some really dark things, where I appreciate the gifts I get from nature, where I appreciate the gift that I am through God, where I am in the right place, at the right time, with the right tools to help others....

I'm not here to apologize for my experiences, I'm here to be me in the lives of those that need it...including my own.

AM I ever grateful for what I have seen and been through and, am on the way TO...

But without being truly me and allowing for that expression and "happening" , it feels like a burden on my soul. So here I stand, more ready to commit to the clarity of the journey ahead.

Are you ready to live and be you in this new day?
