We need to remember to get “out” side.

Sanitariums of the past had the recipe, when folks needed to balance “out” their lives.

Set in beautiful settings, the “patients” we urged to slow down and take in what nature had to offer, like long walks, sitting on a park bench beneath majestic trees, surrounded by breathtaking gardens.

They didn’t push medication much to balance out, but mostly just slow down and get back in touch with nature and what it has to offer.

So if your idea of balancing working inside an office to sitting inside your house, remember, there is no “out” in inside.

It’s just a part of life.

When we do, why not just admit it and use it for a lesson, on what not to mess up on in the future, and apologize if needed.

In doing this, we can cut the guilt which only keeps our focus on what we messed up on, and in a negative or self defeating mode.

So don’t worry about messing up, we all do it, let’s just make forward progress, learn our lesson and move it to the “Next Level”.

Things you like about yourself, and be thankful that you have them, because before too long, what you once liked, will be gone.

Many people try to hold onto things that go away, and become attached to loss.

Your perfect physique and good looks? – Over time, gravity beats out exercise, and things lose form. Maybe switch to liking wrinkles, uh – character lines, and be excited to wear glasses and love the teeth you still have.

Your enthusiasm and endurance? Maybe start being thankful for being able to take your time doing things and for the patience you have acquired along the way.

Just keep picking out new things and you won’t have the time to think about the things that have slipped away.

Many of us have them and some more than others.

Inspired thoughts… They are the creative thoughts that seem to come out of no where and leave just as fast. Inventions, dreams, visions and the impossible come from these inspired thoughts.

Isn’t it frustrating when you have a fantastic inspired thought and try to remember it the next day? It’s gone, and usually once your inspired thought is gone, it’s gone for good.

So why not write them down? A short pencil is better than a long memory!

Just keep a notebook around or at least a pen or pencil…I have many books for recording inspired thoughts… by my bed, in the car, in my briefcase, by where I sit at home.

Inspired thoughts come to you in the brain wave state of Theta, which is in the relaxation state or the state in which you are doing something repetitive where you can mentally disengage, and in the stage in between sleeping and awake.

Why not write down your creative inspired thoughts? The genius inside needs to get out!

And you never know where your inspired thoughts may lead you.

It’s OK, we’re human, but the deal is that we need to “own it”.

Passing the buck, shifting the blame, and being the victim are all really cute ideas but don’t really handle the situation, although some think they do.

Oh, and the masters of the one’s who don’t “own” their mistakes create all sorts of drama in a weak attempt to divert attention somewhere else.

We need to all remember that mistakes happen – we need to just “own it” – apologize – learn from it, and move on – that’s what Winners do.
