Encouraging Words – Improve Interpersonal Skills through Encouragement

Encouraging WordsYou know what my hobby is?  I love to sit in a circle of women and notice and acknowledge all the beauty and light within them.  I love to share with them all that I see and watch their inner light spread and shine a little brighter as I reflect their true self back to them.  It’s no joke.  This may just be my favorite pastime. 

“You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world’s happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.”  Dale Carnegie

“The first sign of Spring is newfound energy.  This is readily apparent in nature, as wildlife scurries about eating, romping, mating, preparing nests, and feeding and tending their young.  Plants burst forth with new growth and showy colors.  Suddenly, with the longer days, it seems nearly impossible to stay inside.”  – Carol McClelland Ph.D.

Simple Steps to Real Gratitude this Thanksgiving

This time of year, it can be easy to lose yourself in preparations and in taking care of everyone around you.  I know I often feel pulled in different directions, like I have to fit certain things into the day to accommodate everyone.  This year I have made a plan to really feel the gratitude and enjoy this Thanksgiving day.  These are some of the steps I’ll take to care for myself and stay centered and balanced during this busy time.  Won’t you join me?

  1. Meditate.  Five minutes in the morning to yourself.  You may want to try lighting a candle and connecting to www.calm.com as you begin your day.
  2. Take a morning Thanksgiving Walk.  Go solo or take someone with you.  Bask in the beauty of our surroundings this time of year.  I may even take my shoes off and dip my feet in a nearby stream.
  3. Make a Gratitude List.  Begin with at least 10 things you love about yourself.  (This could be done during the walk.)
  4. Create a Letting Go Ritual.  Pay attention to any negativity that may be coming up for you about the day.  Release it by acknowledging it, writing it down, and then burning, flushing, or ripping it up into little pieces.  Read more…
