A right-wing populist party has established itself in parts of Germany.
I feel it is my responsibility to take action against it. I don’t yet know how.
I belong to a generation whose parents and teachers grew up during the Nazi era and who continued to live by this image of humanity.
Upbringing, education and cultivating a different attitude is important to me. Now.
My current mindset is – All will be ok! My son wants to put the house on the market which I understand. His relationship of 7 years ended and his life is changing. I will try to focus on my upcoming trip to Ireland in 2 weeks and try not to feel anxious. All will be ok, the good lord has always lead me in the right direction.
This song lyric came into my head last
night, out of nowhere, and it’s the first
thing that came into my head this morning.
I couldn’t remember the song title or the
artist, so I just looked it up. It’s Ricky Nelson
and the song is Garden Party and the chorus is:
“But it’s all right now,
learned my lesson well,
you see, you can’t please everyone,
so you got to please yourself”.
I’m not sure why this popped into my head,
but I will think about this today and take
if as a message from the universe.
The mindset of getting myself back into the shape I was in and the shape I want to be in. I neglected myself when we were running a restaurant, and while I look okay, I definitely don’t feel the same. We took our dogs on a trail yesterday and part of it led up a small mountain. It was an “easy” trail, but my cardio isn’t what it was. I know I can get it back, and it is time to set it all in place and commit to it!
A healthy mindset. This past month I really focused on eating healthy, making sure I got out and walked at least 2 miles a day, and limited my alcohol consumption to a few drinks a week. As a result, I lost some weight, am feeling less sluggish, and have been able to focus better at work. Overall, I am feeling much better so I think I’ll continue on this path.
A mindset I’ve continued to cultivate is the Iverson mindset. Allen Iverson was an NBA Superstar Combo Guard renowned for: enthusiasm, toughness, and loyalty. I love his practice line. “We sittin’ here talkin’ ’bout practice.”
The Iverson mindset relies on less practice, more presence. Cultivating this mindset more over the last several months has helped me enjoy the life I currently have. This helps me stay calmer and be in a better position to deal with challenges more effectively when they happen. Not everything can be practiced. The old school of thinking relies on more and heavier training. The belief there is that the real challenge feels lighter, because we’ve done heavier work before. On the other hand, the new school of thought relies on less and lighter. The belief there is with better load management, we have more health and energy to handle challenges effectively when they arise.
cultivating of being one with Love nstead of feeding the “I” through once for survival needed fight of possible but nowadays mostly own delusional threats created by the “I”. Deeply grateful that this seems to be good work in progress now due to most dear friends, kindred hearts here and all over and dear loved ones, too, who did not stop to help and be with me in difficult times, no matter what. A big big thank you and a deep bow to all of you dear ones.
Good morning, everyone, on this first day of September. I haven’t discovered any new mindset at this time, but I still have something that I aim to cultivate: engaging in conversations free from criticism. As we are surrounded by people, there are both kindness and judgments around us. It’s not easy to sit at a table full of meat and still remain vegetarians. Well, practice and practice will make us better.
My Ngoc, my answer centered around both the old and new school of thoughts on practice. A perfect example is piano. I remember a day when I had to rely on more and heavier practice, because I was a newby and the road to reaching my goals felt far. Now that I’m more skilled with well-defined goals, I can get by with relying on the new school of thought for practice. “We sittin’ here talkin’ ’bout practice, not the game” Allen Iverson.
As I drop my last child to college and return home tomorrow with my husband who is living with a progressive cancer I’m praying for a mindset of gratitude – we did it! And while we continue to live our lives together, resting in God’s hands.
Of believing that I am enough and That I am worthy of love. Feelings of shame and anxiety have ruled my life. Yes, I have made mistakes and I acknowledge that I have hurt others with my words and actions but I am not a bad person. I am still deserving of love, even when I feel like I don’t.
To continue with a mindset of this gift of a new day, today. The present of presence.
Today’s word of the day; “World peace can be achieved when the power of love replaces the love of power.” Sri Chinmoy. This sounded familiar to one I wrote down a while ago that was attributed to Jimi Hendrix; “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
So, I ask, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

I read today’s question after reading Richard Rohr’s meditation for today and thought that it definitely speaks of one’s mindset. I shall be pondering it all day. As for today’s question, mine is not new and it is not easy but I work on acceptance and letting go.

Thank you for taking a stand, Barba. I have to believe good people are in the majority and need to know others are with them.

Garden Party was quite the catchy tune Charlie T!

That a period of ambiguity is a chance to grow.
Very true.

Becoming a healthier version of myself is a new mindset that I wish to cultivate now.
