Find Some Quiet

Find Some Quiet

When we listen to the subtle messages and gentle suggestions, we can find both beauty and strength

In a noisy, crowded room, engaging in a conversation can be challenging. Instead of yelling, which can strain your voice and contribute to the commotion, it’s more effective to lean close to the person you want to communicate with and whisper. This strategy allows your voice to carry better in the noisy environment, making it easier for the person to hear you without raising your volume excessively. As a former teacher assistant and substitute the “LEAN IN AND WHISPER” worked every time! 🙂

Within us, all exists a gentle, quiet voice that doesn’t try to overpower the noisy mental chatter on the surface of our minds or drown out the clamor of the external world. Regardless of our surroundings or internal turmoil, we can always tune into this soft voice beneath the racket of noise if we wish to hear it.

Often, the dominant voices in our minds that convey messages of fear or anxiety are not entirely reliable. These voices may originate from childhood experiences or cultural influences and may only offer partial truths.

The urgency of some voices arises from their separation from the core of our existence. This urgency captures our attention. In contrast, another voice quietly whispers reassurance, conveying that everything is essentially okay. When we hear this voice, we recognize its truthfulness. Typically, after listening to its message, a profound sense of tranquility envelops us, and the once-dominant other voices and sounds recede into the background, appearing insignificant and distant.

As we delve into the world, our interactions may be affected by a tranquil assurance, a whisper of truth that pervades like the rustling of leaves in the wind. This whisper encourages us to prioritize our connection to this truth, steering us away from idle chatter. Embracing this quiet confidence, we become conduits of this whisper, transcending the noise of the world and fostering an atmosphere of peace, trust, and confidence. The first action to take is to get off of social media . . . For you! Find some quiet in this chaotic space.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl ♥

Where Is Your Self-Worth?

Posted on October 8, 2024 by Lifestyle-by-designs

Where is your self-worth?

Excessive apologizing may indicate a lack of self-worth and low self-esteem.

In social interactions, apologizing is a common courtesy that maintains politeness. While it’s beneficial, excessive apologizing for everything warrants introspection. It’s crucial to understand the underlying reasons behind the constant urge to utter “I’m sorry” to gain clarity and make necessary adjustments.

When confronted with a situation that has gone awry, expressing regret through the words “I’m sorry” implies accountability for one’s actions. Whether it’s negotiating parking spots, navigating crowded supermarket aisles, or reaching for desired items, there are instances where an apology is appropriate. However, there are also times when a simple “excuse me” better reflects the nature of the encounter.

“Saying ‘sorry’ can sometimes feel like you’re giving the other person more importance than yourself. Of course, sometimes it’s just a harmless way to chill things down. But if you find yourself apologizing all the time, it might be worth digging deeper and figuring out why that is. If it’s a habit, breaking it might just take a little mindfulness and practice.”

To begin the process of reducing your apologies, start by observing yourself throughout your day. Pay attention to each instance when you apologize, without judging yourself. Initially, you may be surprised to notice how frequently you apologize, perhaps more than you realize. After a day or two of observation, focus on understanding the feelings you experience immediately before apologizing.

During confrontations, you may experience a range of emotions like feeling threatened, embarrassed, or overwhelmed by intense anxiety. Instead of immediately reacting with words, take a moment to pause and simply acknowledge the feeling that arises. It might be a familiar emotion from your childhood that has persisted over time. The more you recognize and accept these feelings, the less likely you will be to carry the burden of regret.

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

It’s Gets One-Sided At Times

Posted on March 26, 2024 by Lifestyle-by-designs

Sometimes it gets One-Sided

It happens, relationships get all out of whack when we don’t make time to catch up with each other.

In a close relationship, the way energy flows between two people is pretty amazing. Ideally, both people should be talking and listening equally, and they should be giving and getting support in equal measure.

In any relationship, things change, and sometimes one person ends up doing more listening or giving. But don’t worry, it won’t always be like that. Like a seesaw, things tend to balance out over time. We all have phases when we take more and times when we give more. It’s just a natural part of being in a relationship.

But, let’s be real, there are also those friendships where things just feel tilted. You know, like you have this friend you dig, but you’ve started to notice that the chats are always about their stuff, never yours. Or maybe you have a buddy who constantly needs your shoulder to cry on, but they don’t seem to be there for you when you need ’em. Over time, these friendships can make you feel like a thirsty plant that’s never getting any water.

You’ve got a friend who’s been all taking and no give for a while, you’re not feeling it anymore, and you’re wondering what to do. Well, there are a couple of options. You could end the friendship, or you could try to talk to them about it. If you go the talking route, be prepared for them to be surprised. But your friendship could be much better if they’re okay with talking it out. They might even thank you for helping them see a pattern in their life that’s been messing up more than just your friendship!

One more thing you can do is just be okay with the relationship as it is. A lot of one-sided relationships work. Like, a mentor relationship where you’re learning from someone, or when you’re helping someone who’s sick, disabled, or needs something. In these cases, just be happy that you can help and be helped, and trust that in the long run, things will balance out.

Give Your Anger Purpose

Posted on February 22, 2024 by Lifestyle-by-designs

Transform Your Anger Into Light

If you’ve got anger that just won’t go away, you can let the earth take care of it. The earth can change it – into something else and give it a new purpose.

So, anger is a thing we all gotta deal with, right? And sometimes, it’s like a volcano ready to erupt. But hey, there’s a way to let that anger out in a healthy way – give it to Mother Earth! Yeah, I know it sounds kinda weird, huh? But imagine this: stand there, feet firmly planted on the ground, and feel the energy just flow right through you and into the earth below. It’s like a natural way to release that pent-up frustration.

When we get mad, our energy goes straight to the core of the Earth. It’s like it becomes part of the planet’s growth process. And guess what? It changes from negative to positive, from dark to light. That’s right! Trust me, it’s like our anger goes on a magical journey inside the Earth. So go ahead, release that anger to Mother Earth. She’ll take care of it and turn it into light. No need to feel guilty about it either. She’s got your back!

Here’s the thing: we can offer our energy from anywhere, whether you’re in a high-rise building or on a boat in the middle of the ocean. The earth is always there, supporting and providing for us. If you can get outside and touch some real, unpaved ground, that can help you connect with nature’s energy. And when you’ve let go of your anger, it’s easier to receive that positive, calming, healing energy that fills your body.

First, sit down and take some deep breaths. Then, ask Mother Earth to take your anger away. Imagine it flowing down your spine, out of your tailbone, and into the earth’s core. Finally, don’t forget to thank the earth for being so awesome and helping you out.

When we deal with our anger, we realize it’s like any other energy that can be used for good or bad. During your meditation, we may get some ideas on how to put this energy to the best use.

So, I’ve got this theory that the earth can help us clean up our messed-up energy and put it to good use. Like, when we do this with a thankful heart, we know we aren’t taking advantage of the earth for our selfish needs. Instead, we’re vibing with the energy of our home planet, and it’s this whole give-and-take thing where we take care of the earth, and it takes care of us. It’s a pretty cool cycle, right?

Let’s show our planet some love, just like it shows us every day!

I go to a local park and stand on this beautiful tree root – I let go of all my frustrations and anger, I have been practicing this for over a year.

Peace ♥ Harmony, Cheryl

♥ Yourself Today . . .

Posted on February 14, 2022 by Lifestyle-by-designs

Take time today for self-care, self-love, and self-respect. When I was single “back in the day” I always celebrated ME on valentines day. I never sat at home whining or crying that I didn’t have a date, if nobody asked me out – I took myself out to dinner and a movie.

“So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure . . . that you really are strong, you really do have worth. And you learn and learn . . . with every goodbye you learn.”

Peace ♥ Harmony
