Ending an exchange

What ends an exchange?
Is it the giving and receiving?
Is it feelings of gratitude?
Is it communion?
Communion is beyond exchange.
It's taking things into the outward expression of Thanks
And showing appreciation.

Goodbye!

I don't want this.
No offence. I just don't want it.
So, "Thanks, but no thanks!"
This is not for me.
Have fun!
That's what I'm intending to do.
You have fun too.

Are you good at avoiding being stuck in a rut?

Thank the truth-teller!

Reject lies.
Know the truth about yourself.
It may feel uncomfortable for a while.
But it's the only way to grow.
And you want to improve, right?
To be better than before.
So thank the 'truth-teller' - whoever, or whatever, that may be!

Are you healthy?

Being unhealthy is not fun.
To be healthy we need to be alert.
Find and feel your own healthy balance.
And stick to it.
Explore and expand your repertoire by all means.
But don't overdo it.
There will be consequences, either way!

Giving your body gifts!

Everything you eat or drink is a gift to your body,
'good' or 'bad'!
Feel good about all the gifts you give your body,
not just some of them.
They all count,
so weigh up each and every one,
before they become part of you.

An attitude of gratitude

Does not mean we have to settle for less than we desire.
We can be thankful for what we have ...
And still feel OK about wanting more.
Desire motivates.
Be grateful you have desires.
Without them you wouldn't move.
All is perfect - including your desires!

Choice is a gift.

Unless we give, we can't receive.
We are always the first to receive in the act of giving.
Doesn't it feel good to give a gift?
No strings attached.
Just the shear pleasure of giving a well-chosen gift.
No strings attached?
What joy!

Make each choice a gift!

Do you give sufficient care and attention to the health of your body, mind and soul?

It's so easy to take our health for granted, unless it isn't.
There is so much else these days clamouring for our attention.
How often do we really check in with our bodies when asked "How are you?"
Are we tired, achey, less than 100% in some way ... yet, do we admit it?
What would be better?
What would it take?
A little more TLC? Think about it.

Next time someone asks "How are you?" ask yourself "How healthy am I?"
Can you reply truly "I'm fit and healthy, thank you. You?"

Feeling thanks.

"Feeling good about gratitude" - NcTg

How do I know

What's best for me?

I feel like giving thanks - positive gratitude.

My whole being is in alignment.

I'm on track.

No apology necessary.

All is well.

Who am I & what do I think?

"Valuing who I am and what I think." - NiTv

Denying who I am and what I really think helps no-one.

Least of all, me.

Acknowledging and valuing unique identity & thoughts

Is vital to self-esteem and well-being.

Knowing and growing who I am and what I think is what life is all about.

Rectifying mistakes - outcomes we don't like - is part of the process.

Accepting what is, is the best place to start.

Grateful for boundaries

"Whenever two things meet ... " - NbTa

Boundaries

Whether strong or weak

Give us clues

About how to behave in situations

We can assert our will

Backing-off if it offends

Or we can dance, enjoying the interaction.

The essence of surrender

"I won't say no to that!" - YsTh

Does it touch you?

Surrender?

It can, if we let it.

Feel yourself let go.

Trusting all will be well.

Including your physicality.

Be touched.

It's a gift! Don't forget it!

"Give yourself the gift of agreement." - YaTg

Agreement is a gift.

No contract necessary.

I want what you want.

Inner and outer alignment.

No wavering.

Until there is.

And then gratitude that an agreement exists realigns.

Yes TV? No!

"What's really important here, now? See, accept and value it." - YaTv

Drinking more water. Eating more fruit. Continuing to swim.

Focusing on what I eat and drink.

Valuing myself, my health, my fitness and feeling good.

Changing my diet has changed my physique, my attitude and my relationship with Self.

I see and accept things differently now.

Especially the consequences of what I eat and drink.

And the changes are good.
