CLEAR THE AIR

A truth unsaid can still be felt.  What needs to be discussed, but hasn’t been said yet?  Clear the air.

Ideas from James Clear and his 3-2-1 Thursday blog

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a conversation that needs to be had?
  • What hasn’t been said?
  • Muster the courage and have a courageous conversation.  Clear the air!

WALLOW or MOVE ON

“We all make mistakes. We all do things, say things, that we wish we had not.

Everybody know this.  Yet, virtually everyone dwells on the consequences of their mistakes, completely robbing themselves of peace.

You can hold on to the memories of your mistakes and wallow in them.

Or you can see what you mistakenly did and said and move on. One path leads to peace; the other does not.”

Forgive yourself or ask for forgiveness.

FROM:  ABOUT PEACE by Scott Shaw

REFLECTION:

  • Today is a new day!  Are past actions or words robbing you of peace?
  • What do you need to do to move on?  Forgive self or others?
  • Take a step today… don’t wallow in negative memories and pain.

REFLECTION:

  • Do you see others as “superior” to you in that you they have something to teach you?
  • Do you have empathy for others – knowing everyone is fighting some kind of battle?
  • What are your rules for living?
