I was doing a session with a friend the other day and the topic was reprogramming her inner dialogue – her self talk – to help her accomplish some goals she has set for herself.  She’s a smart and successful person, and has just identified some habits she wants to change.  She wasn’t aware of it before, but every time a bill came in, one of her thoughts was, “I’ll never get ahead at this rate.”  Every time her kids asked for a loan, she thought,  “I’ll never get ahead at this rate.”   Every time she got an unexpected repair or medical bill (and she attracted a lot of them), she thought,  “I’ll never get ahead at this rate.”   So we simply came up with a few lines of self talk that she would teach herself to repeat over and over each time the old thoughts of the old story came to mind.  She’d carry these lines with her and read them often throughout the day.

People aren’t always prepared to handle what Life throws at them. A few experiences with cause and effect can make a believer out of anyone, so it is often well into midlife before many people wake up and begin taking responsibility for how they perceive life and how they respond to it.  At the same time, they have to deal with the momentum of their past catching up with them. So the situation is someone who has suddenly woken up to the realization of an innate connection, to the realization of another way of being, another way of living more gently and cooperatively upon the earth.  They realize some of their past behaviors and responses were less than stellar, and they want to do things differently this time around. But even though their heart and mind and ways have changed, there is still the backlash of the past momentum catching up. So they need to just do their best in each moment, and ride it out until it’s over.

 I love being up in the middle of the night. I love being up working at the desk, I love being up working on my creative projects, but I especially love being outside in the midnight hours.  There is very little road traffic within hearing range, and my particular neighborhood has no street lights, so the nighttime has a natural feel to it. As long as I turn OFF the outside motion sensors when I am out there, that is 🙂

I like taking a walk when the air is cool and the woods are lit only by the moonlight filtering through the trees.  I stay barefoot at night, so I can tell where on the path I am walking.  In the dark spots, I can tell where to turn when I feel the big oak root under my right foot, and I know that I need to duck two steps later to miss the low hanging branch.  When I feel the gravel, I know to bear left to stay off the path to the garden. When I walk down to the firepit area, I can feel the oak leaves all ruffled up under my feet, and I can hear the armadillos rooting around in them closeby.  I can make out in the dim light the chairs as they are gathered around the circle area and I sit in my favorite one.  The one facing each of the three trails: the human walk and the two woods creature trails. If I sit quietly, all sorts of nocturnal critters will begin their nighttime parade past me.   Continue reading →
