Over the past few weeks, we’ve dealt with some heavy issues as much of this month has been focused on our responsibilities. So today I decided to exhale a bit and only half- heartedlyContinue reading “Breathing Backwards”

Nearly two weeks ago I asked for your input. I told you that coming soon,we would be undertaking a discussion about commitments. But wait,… there’s more. What I didn’t tell you was I was having a bit of a quandary myself about commitments, covenants, the differences between the two, and whether or not my standardsContinue reading “Commitments v. Covenants”

Are you “feeling” it? You should be as we begin day four of our intensive immersion into affirming ourselves, your emotions definitely need to be a part of the process. Reviewing a bit, you should recall our discussions on: So How Do We Create Positive Affirmations? Good question. I’m so glad you asked. Here areContinue reading “Feeling Affirmed”
This week we are focusing on the processing of affirming ourselves and taking these declarations to our next level of “Becoming”. So as the title suggests affirmations are also about affirming action. It is an action word. A state we need to achieve in order to enable us to be propelled towards our dreams, desires,Continue reading “Affirmative Action”
Quicker than I expected and sooner rather than later, it happened again. Life is less about what happens to you, and more centered upon how you choose to respond to it.” My day is certainty, “Becoming” other than expected, anticipated and a far cry from what I had planned. Still remaining level headed, thoughtful andContinue reading “Suddenly Becoming Expectantly Now”
A new day, a new post about your “Becoming”. Also today a new step. Affirming ourselves. The process of not only declaring and supporting ourselves, but also how we’ll arrive at creating our own specific affirmations to strengthen us along our daily paths. So let’s start with the shared definitions. We’ll begin with the noun,Continue reading “Today We Affirm”
If your first response to the headline was, ‘why would I want that?’ Well then this is not a post for you. For the rest of us, overcoming procrastination and sometimes procrastinators is something we all have to address in this process of “Becoming”.

The start to this week has certainly been an interesting one for discussion. The unexpected delays, obstacles, circumstances, plus related adjustments in our daily lives juxtaposed with the concepts of expectancy, quickly, soon and now. So it is no coincidence that they work well to bring us to today’s topic. (Especially since I believe thereContinue reading “Suddenly Becoming… Now!”
A day of questions for you. I’ll begin to explain why as you continue, but first I need to ask: How do you define commitments? Do you honor your commitments? Why or why not? Do you expect others to honor their commitments? Can you define for us what a covenant is? What is the differenceContinue reading “Commitments? Covenants? Both or Neither?”

Transitioning into this new month, I’ve shared some thoughts on how the coming days can be approached and lived differently. By exploring quite diverse ways from how we may have accepted them to be in the past or believed we had to compromise or settle for. In “My Declaration of Independence”, yesterday I pointed toContinue reading “Uncommon”

When last we spoke, it was a discussion of the individual ways you can realize your own Transformative Transition. Noting it will vary greatly, as no two people are alike, nor are we created to be the same. Embracing our differences and affording each other the compassion, dignity and respect which we are due ourselvesContinue reading “My Declaration of Independence”

Are you ready? We’ve reached another point of change along our shared journey here at Becoming Today. Not only around us, but also a time when I believe we’ll all notice some of these decidedly different differences taking effect within us. As the calendar will mark the start of a new month, tomorrow, we alsoContinue reading “Transformative Transition”

On this edition of Becoming Today, what I’m asking is for you to accept yourself. Sounds simple, right? Well just maybe it’s one of those things that sounds easier than they really are. Nevertheless, accepting ourselves is an integral part of “Becoming”. Accepting our strengths rather than empowering our perceived weaknesses, accepting our unlimited potentialContinue reading “Acceptance Required”

As we progress together along this path of “Becoming”, I’ve mentioned the concept of Self-Care quite a bit. So today let’s explore what it is, what it is not and then offer some helpful and hopefully fun suggestions for you to embrace in your daily rituals. What is Self-Care? On the simplest level it isContinue reading “It’s Not Selfish”
This week we’ve established that at times we all need help. Acknowledging it can be difficult to ask for help, we outlined steps to allow ourselves to ask for help. Realizing that receiving is part of life,that it has nothing to do with worthiness, we acknowledge that in learning how to accept help we areContinue reading “Becoming A Giver”
