Morning……. what a week we have all had, in one way or another between International news and some sad things I have read this week on my reader, Today I want colour and happiness for us all this weekend !!
We all need to embrace happiness this weekend and always, don’t let the news get you down, happiness is good for us in so many ways !!
So, what are you waiting for, enjoy the coffee, enjoy the morning, afternoon , night and weekend, be happy every second, you decide this………………so NO EXCUSES !!!
Well, you know the saying “A memory like an elephant” no i am not suggesting we becomes elephants, but I do have a few tips to keep that memory sharp, we need to exercise our memory, train it like we do our bodies, it needs just the same as our muscles do, to keep it in shape!
It’s not difficult, if you have a good social life, and simple exercises can help you from not knowing where you left your keys, or where you left the car parked………
Our brain and memory are selective, we only remember what attracts our attention and what is most important to us. So, when our neighbour asks, all silly questions that really mean they are gossips or just plain noisy, you may think you are losing your memory, but really it is you have no interest, if we took everything on board our head would probably explode. The memory truly activates when it is something we are very interested in or has had an impact on you. This is why we can remember what we were doing on dates that have historical impact such as 11-S, or maybe this election day ! we may not remember what we were doing the day before or where we put our keys. So, what exactly is the memory, where we store and recuperate information, its first job is to accumulate experiences which allows us to take on our everyday jobs and in the future, where we pull on the memory when needed. The memory does not have a special space in our brain, as it resides in a interconnecting series of systems. There are distinct types of memory, la memory long-term (which remains for many years) and the short-term memory, the working memory that permits us to retain the information we need for decision-making. Memory and learning go hand in hand, this is how we remember what we have learnt and we learn because we remember. Our memory is what makes us conscious of ourselves, which helps us move through life.
In this day and age the memory is actually suffering due to all the technical help it gets with diary apps in phones, lap tops etc., we have information at our finger tips, but we need to resort to older ways for the sake of the memory, books, libraries etc., However it has been proven that an active life, curiosity, mental and physical stimulation can help our memory as this will exercise the neurones, which can be considered a muscle, and should be kept in shape. We can stimulate our memory to remember by reading, our work, assisting cultural acts, playing mental games, chess, cards and even by resting with an afternoon nap!
It is believed that when we watch the TV, adverts will be remembered by the impact of the music, you will remember most the first and the last one’s, the middle will be less noticed, you will also be influenced by contrast and colour.
A recent survey shows that 90 mins of “Siesta” will help greatly with the long-term memory.(If you have that long, but if it helps keep our memory in tack, maybe we should try!!)
You are only worth the very very best !!!
Love what you do, with all your heart…………..
Now that is love, pure coffee love ……….enjoy and have a great day .
We all need help at some time in our life, sometimes it can be serious help and other times support help, when we just need to know that someone is there, with a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on………..someone to listen.
Most of us are bad listeners, not because we don’t want to be, we are just so filled with our own concerns, we don’t hear anything else, this does not make us bad people, our heart and intention is maybe in the right place, but, we are just no good for this job.
In my experience, it is not what people say, it is what they don’t say, or when they slip something in, quickly after a big impacting phrase, they have said it, but they are not sure if they want you to hear it, however I have to say, this is not your fault, you must have experience in these situations to pick these things up, and you also have to refrain from bringing your emotions in, if it is your friend and their problem envolves another person, you are going to side with them, this is also normal,but, can result in you maybe giving bad advise, and you could lose a friend, again without intention,unless you have bad feelings with this person you will only want the best for them. When a friend approaches you and has the need to talk, if you feel that you cannot listen in the correct manner then take yourself out of the equation, try to steer clear, of course depending on the depth of the problem, at times just talking about it, can give great relieve to the person off loading. Just be careful with the advice, especially if it is to do with a relationship, they patch things up really quick, and you could end up being the baddy ! I’m sure we have all experienced that one.
What this post is really about is ourselves, why do we find it so hard to reach out for help, support, a little assistance, at times in can be pride, you don’t want others to know you have problems in your life of any kind, you don’t think you are worthy of friendship and help, or maybe you don’t want people to think you are weak and can handle things yourself, all these reasons are wrong, you may feel them but all you are doing is making your problems into two problems, the concerning problem and the concern that nobody finds out about it, does it sound familiar ? We all no matter who or what we do, faces problems of some kind, we are all worthy of resolving them and we are no less for sharing them with a person of our confidence, obviously we don’t want it in the local paper !! so choose well, but the simple fact that you let it out, will give you release and your tension/anxiety will come down a little. Another important point to remember is that all problems have a solution, and there is no need to be isolated from the world due to this. It is good to know someone is in your corner helping you out, however bad you may feel the sooner it is out in the open the sooner it can be resolved. Never worry about asking for help or support, if you wish to go forward in your life, you need to deal with issues as they appear, putting things on the back burner only makes them bigger and more complicated to resolve. Obviously you can seek professional help, which would guide you to the correct solution.
The more love we give, the more love we receive, spread some love today and always.
We are nearly at the end of the year, and we are assessing the progress we have made, but, we will also be thinking about what we have not done! I think enough is enough you have covered nearly everything so don’t beat yourself up over what is left to do, forget about it for the moment, and don’t even consider what went wrong, you don’t need to know why it did or didn’t, it was not on the cards for you right now, everything happens for a reason.
Today just let all that go, and keep moving forward, if not your negative thinking will keep you right where you are, in fact you will become stuck…. and no one wants that… Today you take control and let your inner powers start to work for you, to bring to you what you want.
You may not be aware that every time you think about why something has not worked out for you, you are putting concrete boots on your inner powers, they can’t help you in any shape or form, and therefore cannot help to bring you what you want. In fact, you are just creating more negative events to show up in your life, and more of what you don’t want.
So, if you are thinking about a business adventure that went wrong, or a relationship that went badly etc., you are just calling for another one, with the same result. When you constantly think of bad results or short falls, you will repeat the situation over and over again. The more you do this your inner powers and mind think that this is what you want.
So, its time to let go, and it is the time to start creating the life you really want, it is quite simple really, when you find yourself analysing the why it did not happen for you, immediately change that thought to the life you truly want and what you want in it. Think about what you want
Your inner powers and mind never stop, they have no free time, they work 24/7 connected to everything you do or have dealings with. They can be the best partner you have ever had, work with it, and make sure it is given the correct job description ……….clear and concise. (Of your wonderful future and what you want from it and in it) This new partner you have acquired cannot work correctly if it has to keep going backwards, so let go and step forward, this allows the power to be released and do a good job!!
Today step up, take control , move forward and work well with your new partner, just think the New Year is weeks away, work well now and step into the business you wish, the relationship you want, is that not a good picture, everything is working out for you, because your working with your new partner, you have let go , you are confident happy healthy and hopefully wealthy, but most importantly you are enjoying life.This can happen if you decide to move forward, don’t waste anymore time, time is precious, start creating now.
Live for today, the past is the past, but the future can hold everything you want, be part of it, be brave and move forward !
Today is your day, a day I will always remember, so special to me, my beautiful bundle of joy ! (Now slightly bigger) ! but forever my baby to me , lots of love is sent to you today, have a fantastic birthday…..love you always ………………
Happy Birthday, Muchas Felicidades Joshua
Lots of love…….Mama xxx
Today is a big day, not just for America, but for the rest of the world, that is my personal opinion, but feel it is a valid one, when other countries choose their leader, it more or less concerns only them, but we have been led to believe that the President of America is the or one of the most powerful people within our world, should this be true, it does concern us all, and could fill us with fear should the wrong choice be made, and nobody should live with fear.
I do not wish to go into detail with this point, my opinion is mine, and I am not any kind of political expert, far from it, but I do know that today is no normal election day in America, maybe it is one of the most difficult decision making days for many, and will no doubt go down in history, for many reasons.
I am thinking of all my blogger friends today, who do have to make that choice, and the responsibility that they have to take on board. This is going to be a long day…………for all ……….
Let’s hope we all end up on the right side of the track
Thinking of you all.
Always follow your heart, your intuition, your inner voice
Thought this was perfect, as a little extra to my last post !
Hello and goodbye are things we say everyday, however they are also a strong emotion and our reaction varies from situation to situation.
I was at the airport today to pick up a friend, and while waiting I had a front row seat to this emotion, have you ever studied people in an airport, train station etc., some are so happy saying hello and others so sad saying goodbye.
Both words and situations can evoke tears, tears of joy and tears of sadness, the emotion arises from the bottom of our hearts, our inner sense, we are sensitive and the reaction can take us by surprise, a sudden rush for joy or sadness but the result on the outside is the same……tears, this can also be a good release of accumulated tension, the anxiety that builds as we wait for the arrival of that special someone, this is not always a person, it can be a pet, a package, but the emotion is so strong we shed the tears, we allow ourselves to release our emotion, this will then create a relief for you whether it be joy or sadness.
So, when we are suffering from built up tension and anxiety regarding our hello, why is this, we have missed that special someone, they mean so much to us,but maybe we don’t express that to them, do you express your feelings and emotions ? or do you keep them all inside like a well-kept secret ? not everyone can express their feelings, even though they suffer the consequences later, with a build up of tension and anxiety, by expressing your feelings does not guarantee no tears, we are all different,but our bodies would be more grateful as tension and anxiety does not always show in tears, it can show in physical body pain. When we express joy in our hello, the happiness is pouring out of us, and the sensation is different, but the release also benefits us, all round.
Personally, I think any goodbye is difficult if it is a distance goodbye and know it’s a long haul goodbye, but yes very painful if maybe you know it’s long long haul(like the other side of the world) goodbye………when you have no idea when the next hello will take place, this is when you must express your feelings, don’t leave yourself with this feeling or the person who leaves, emotions are not only felt by you, and the anxiety stays with you and also goes with them, not a good situation for anyone, as painful as it maybe, try to make it as painless as possible, express yourselves as much as possible.
Don’t close yourself out of your own emotions, pretending they are not there, because you are only kidding yourself, not good for you or your body, talking this out would be good advice. When we bottle things up inside of us, some where they will raise their ugly little heads ! and we could end up with serious problems, that will have to be dealt with, sooner or later.
Christmas time can be a very emotional time for many, family members and friends they arrive and say hello and then they depart and say goodbye, there is nothing wrong with shedding a tear, but if you feel emotional and the anxiety builds, try a little chat to explain yourself, it helps you and maybe others to. There is a simple observation on my part, which is why I bring you this post today, my morning was filled with emotion’s of others.
