You get old when you are doing the same old thing with the same old attitude in the same old way.
You are renewed when you are doing something new each and every day.
Novelty changes our thinking, expressing and behaving.
Creating something new is a simple and effective way of renewing your life.
Some people fear, resist and avoid novelty.
Anything different, novel or adventuresome is a cause for stress or even distress.
When we have ingrained habits, we tend to fall asleep and live unconsciously in a trance.
Even unhappiness, illness and depression become a safe place, because they are familiar.
When we are conscious, awake and aware, we make better choices.
Seeing and hearing the truth sometimes hurts, but then it sets us free to choose again.
If you are tired of being sick and tired, get up and do something different right now.
The simplest change can rearrange your thinking and emotions, your behavior and fulfillment.
Often adults teach children to have a routine which may work for awhile and then becomes drudgery.
It is essential to grow, to develop and achieve that we, even adults, be challenged.
The more flexible we learn to be, the more successful we will be.
Learning to accommodate and adapt to changing circumstances keeps us active mentally and physically.
If you are stuck in the mud or set in your ways, today is the day to change all that.
Travel to unknown places.
Buy a different brand of toothpaste.
Eat in a different place at the table.
Try a new food once a day.
Vary the order in which you put on your clothes.
Challenge yourself to call someone you would like to know better.
Smile at yourself in the mirror in the morning.
Sing a song while you shower.
Sign up for classes and learn something new to you.
It is never too late to grow younger, to become happy and fully alive.
Change the way you think of yourself and your life by choosing something new.
Get rid of the stuckness in anger, hurt, fear and defensiveness.
Be forgiving, compassionate, loving and open to life’s changes and challenges.
Choose again for what is always good for you and others.
Give yourself a life an energy high, by taking on something novel and unusual.
Honor your need for structure and routine, but add in an element of mystery and surprise.
Create a source of special joy and delight by encouraging learning, expressing and acting new.
Moving into our new 3-day (Sun, Mon, Tues.) 493 sq/ ft. town home without dishwasher and microwave has been an amazing challenge to adapting to new circumstances. Sharing a desk with Robert, one tiny bathroom, minimal closet space, windows only on one side, etc. is a change. From there I can walk to my Reunion Center in Pleasant Hill, where I work on Tuesdays. It is a great and positive move. It saves plenty of money which we are using to share with others for inspiration, education and to facilitate their wholeness.
Yes, we are moving the rest of our useful and inspiring stuff to our Lake House just 2 hrs. away, where we live the rest of the week (Tuesday night to Sunday Morning). In Hidden Valley Lake, we have our home (Reunion Lake House where we live and offer retreats and have another guest house (the Hermitage) for our retreat guests and a (just opened) Positive Living Center on Hwy. 29, just 3 minutes away. Movement and change to accommodate the ever-changing need and inner guidance brings me great joy and gratitude as I watch and participate in all the “miracles” of Love that occur.
Yes, for Robert and I , novelty is essential.
It keeps the energy moving.
It inspires consciousness and creativity.
It renders a sense of inner peace, childlike wonder and lots of gratitude.
Be open.
Be willing.
Be flexible.
Be grateful.
Be happy.
Loving us all,
Betty Lue
