Kindness

What thoughts did you have today? Were they kind? Could they have been?

I've been doing a lot of thinking about the thoughts that we have every moment of wakefulness. Most of these thoughts are largely unconscious, but if we listen we can catch them. I think you'd be surprised at many of them. When you look at someone you love, take a moment to listen to your instant thoughts about them. Are they judgemental or critical thoughts? Are they sad thoughts? Are they happy or kind thoughts? Give yourself a little test today and notice your instant reactions when you are with friends or loved ones....then take steps to make them loving and kind thoughts.

Do the same for yourself. When you look in the mirror, notice the internal dialogue and what you are consciously and subconsciously thinking about yourself. When you see yourself the goal is to automatically think "I love you" and "you're beautiful."

by the way....

I love you. You're so beautiful!

Joy

Today I learned that joy is a popsicle on a beautifully hot day.

Today I learned that if you put sunscreen on your skin you are really expressing love for yourself.

Today I healed just a little bit.

Yours in healing (and much much love),

Never Too Late

Well, it has certainly been a while. There have been many things that have happened over the last few months. I've learned some lessons about living without a computer for a couple of months that I would choose never to repeat ;) I've been healthy and sick, I've been happy and sad. It has been exactly what life should be....it just IS.

I'm so thankful to be back online, and just to touch base with everyone again I want to share something that has been with me while I was offline: "It's never too late."

It is never too late to start (or restart) something. It doesn't matter if you've put it off for so long that you feel the time has passed you by, don't let it! Today might just be the perfect day to make the phone call you've been dreading. Today might be absolutely the right time to start on a journey of healthy living. You might be at the perfect age to really appreciate the new opportunities for what they are when they come to you. The point is this - you are never too old, never too weak, never too undeserving, never too fat or unhealthy to do what you need to do today to make your life better.

I believe this for myself and I believe it for you.

Yours In Healing,

Kit

What are you willing to change today

Alright! Here we go!

Today is a wonderful day to start something. It doesn't have to be a big thing, just something. Perhaps you could start trying to add one cup of tea per day in the place of a coffee. Perhaps you could spend one minute (yes, I said ONE minute) meditating this morning. Perhaps you could take the stairs at work. Physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, today is a good day to start something. Remember - brick by brick, step by step, moment by moment you are building something. Build something beautiful! Our choices don't always have to be hard or sacrificing....we can do this!

Let's do this thing!

Yours in healing,

What is today for you?

Today I am going to spend time with my family. I am going to spend time with my niece, my daughter, my sisters, my husband and a really good friend. It's a good day when you can fill it with family. It doesn't even need to be a lot of family. It can be that one special sibling, your mother, a cousin, a best friend who is more like a sister to you....just family. When you are with family you can be and should be exactly who you are without any facade. If you feel like you don't have "family" - keep your heart open and ask for "family" to find you. Be open to them however they come to you and let them be exactly as they are.

Today I am going to spend time with my family. Tonight I am going to watch an awards show with the 4 Triplets (that's my other two triplet sisters and a friend we call our "swing") and we are going to wear lots of jewellery, our most comfy pajamas and eat like hogs....why? Because that's just what we do.

What are you doing today?

Yours in healing!

Say it with me now...

Today is a new day. Today is a beautiful day. All good things are coming to me today. I am happy.

Come on...say it. I dare you! Even say it a few times (heck, say it a lot!) and see what happens to your day. Try it again tomorrow and see if it works any better.

Here I am in this beautiful morning. The sun is bright, there is a brisk wind that wakes me up and a crow that is sitting outside my window. I'm having a nice cup of hot green tea and it makes my insides feel so good. I'm anticipating doing some wonderful healing sessions today and I know that what happens in them is meant to happen. I'm completely open to it. Today I will see good friends and new friends and I'm really happy for the opportunity to live today.

Today is a new day. Today is a beautiful day. All good things are coming to me today. I am happy.

Yes, it is. Yes, I am.

Yours in healing,

Observing and modifying

So this week I am mostly observing my natural habits - what I eat, watch, read and wear, what I think, feel, do and say - and I'm very very slowly modifying little things at first to see how I respond. It's an experiment - It's fun!

Things I've noticed so far:

*I eat chocolate at the first sign of stress or displeasure

*Watching violent TV shows (like Heroes etc...) makes me feel sick to my stomach for about an hour afterword - it's anxiety. I love TV and I love sci-fi etc... but I find I (literally) no longer have the stomach for it! The same goes for TV shows that are nasty - shows about lying/cheating/conning etc... vicious things. I can't watch them anymore. My mother was right when she said "once you put something in your brain you can never get it out again". You'd think I had learned my lesson after 25 years of zombie nightmares!

*Reading gossip blogs like "Perez Hilton" and "TMZ" make me feel yucky and I feel like when I read them I'm adding to the negativity that goes out to these celebrities. Honestly, you couldn't pay me to live their lives so why do I think it's ok to find pleasure in their struggles?

Things to think about...
