Cool ideas from Alexandra Franzen.... again

Just follow the link.

It's got things like doing a course on a cruise boat, instead of a stuffy room.

Gym Rats & Bookworms.... inspired by Alexandra Franzen.... & Turkish coffee blurt

Yes, yes. My favourite feed.

We get fed in many ways. Well, maybe it's just that I get fed in many ways.


Just back from Turkey. Man that is some fine, smooth, flavoursome food on offer. Loved IT.


I didn't like the taste of the coffee though. However I loved the process of making it. I've adopted it and created a new ritual.



Tip.
Use everything that you love in your life to create rituals to keep you fed. See how Alexandra Franzen uses books to keep fit so that she can feed herself.

Sea Change & Alexandra Franzen



A friend of a friend of a friend of mine, always puts the IF condition on her happiness statement.


e.g. I'd be sooooooooo happy IF I had a house by the sea ... the surf ... not just the bay.


Have you ever caught yourself doing that? I bet you're not happy after saying it!


Notice what happens when you turn it around.


e.g. It'd be really amazing if I could have a house by the surf. Fortunately, it is not required for happiness.


I don't know about you, but after I say that turnaround pair of sentences, I get a thought with a smile that goes something like this... 'O yeah, that's right, now what was I going to do?' I'm happy and I move on to DO something. Now that's gotta be good.


Your turn. Fill in the gap with your IF condition for happiness, then go DO something. And leave a comment below with your thoughts about it all.

Leffe Blond psychology


You just have to read this.

I wrote a piece for a psychology unit I did once upon a time. I wrote how lucky I was. I'd had the usual abuse, but I really felt lucky and felt uncomfortable about it. I felt I possibly should be suffering and resentful. I didn't. I don't. 


I love that. Alexandra Franzen's article really sums that up. We don't have to suffer or go through adverse situations to have valid wisdom that helps others. Yay.


My life can be as easy as a Leffe Blond goes down at the end of a day.


So can yours, whether you like Leffe Blonde or not!


It's all a story, so we might as well make it a good one.


Take a moment right now and write your future story, the good one, the ideal one.


What would you be doing? Who would be there? What would you smell, see, taste? How would you be earning your living? What would you be contributing to the world or your community?


Post that up on your mirror or the toilet wall or somewhere that you'll see it every day.
