Just do It

As health care providers we always put the needs of others first. 

Although you have been reading about, speaking about, listening to others talk about self- care, you still have not yet incorporated it into your daily actions.  We do not need to discuss why it has not happened.  Let’s just look at how you can get started today or even better, right now.

Your myriads of excuses are no longer necessary.  Instead I wish to suggest these 3 statements:

 I used to dodge doing self-care.

 I no longer need to dodge it anymore.

Starting today I do self-care daily. 

How painful are these three statements for you to say?

Come on, say them and mean them.  These sentences actually address two frequently used excuses for not practicing self-care. One, don’t know why, I just don’t do it. Second, I’ll start doing it next week.

There are scores of actions to implement.  Most actions neither require much additional time in your day, nor do they require additional expenses.

Suggested Actions:

 Take the stairs down to your car as you leave work, and skip using the elevator. Note the change in your breathing.

Take s full body stretch privately in the bathroom before leaving your job.

Renew your lipstick application.

Look in the mirror at work and quietly give yourself a smile which will be returned. Repeat.  Another is sure to follow.

Practice saying no while looking at yourself in the mirror.  The more you practice it, the easier it becomes.  Remember to say it with determination. Your courage will be strengthened. I hope this blog will inspire and motivate you to show yourself some self-love. You may even influence your family, colleagues, and clients.  The whole world will benefit.

No encounter regardless of reason will find someone mentioning a desire for changing a behavior in their life. We all have a dream of seeing ourselves living life in a different role, acting differently than usual, or doing something different from what we are currently doing.  Why does that happen?  Could it be because our dreams are telling us that change is possible now? Could it be that we need to make changes in our life because we are not living out our purpose in life and our happiness is being challenged?

Last month most of us made at least one resolution. This year we were really going to keep it.

Day 1, 2, 3, passed and we did it. Then, week one and two passed and we stated to slightly lower our commitment.  By now, where does the importance of your resolution(s) rest? Mine is non-existent.

How did that happen?  I had been so committed! The truth is that I tried to make too much, too big a change which could not be sustained.  Changing behaviors is possible but to obtain long term results we must start with making small changes consistently. Have you had a similar experience?  What happens now?  Let tomorrow be your new start day. Today set up your daily small- step plan for the week and then for next week and on and on.  This can help your progress.  You’ve got this!

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

Do you feel worried?  Do you feel that you are no longer controlling your own life and everybody else is controlling it for you?  For real?  That’s how you feel?  Do you like feeling this way?  I assume that your answer is NO! NO! NO!  Trust me, there is hope. Change can occur.  How do you feel about change when it come into your life willfully?

When it just come in unknowingly at first?

Change can actually become a pleasant experience based on your attitude about change.  This is for real.

Let’s walk through a behavior that you wish to change.

Name it.

Why do you want to change it?

When do you want to change it?

How will your life be changed by losing it?

Can there be negative impact by changing it?

Who can support in making this change?

When will you ask them for help/support?

What if they say no?

Hopefully, you can begin to see the complexity of achieving real change.  Change can actually occur when you decide to change your attitude toward making this change.  Your subconscious mind is your best friend.  With a bit of prodding  it is what really helps most in making a lasting behavior change.  Your subconscious mind acting in coordination with your conscious mind will not only allow the change to occur but will also make the change enduring.

Let me know what you think about this. 

What is bliss?  Why do we seek it? When and where do we seek it?  Is it really attainable?

Bliss is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as a noun as – the perfect happiness, great joy.  Additionally, it is there defined as a verb as – reach a state of perfect happiness, typically so as to be oblivious to everything else.  I must admit that I spend time seeking bliss.  How about you?  Can you admit to this too?

Why do you think we seek it?  Are we seeking euphoria?  Is it for seeking fulfillment and purpose?  For me, it is while I am doing what brings me a deep sense of joy.  Much of this is unconscious because I find myself always running from pain, frustration, disappointment, fear, and any other negativity that visits me in my day. Why do you think you seek bliss?  I would appreciate hearing from any and all of you because in sharing we all get to increase knowledge and experience. In fact, this is the reason for my blog. Moving forward…

When do we seek bliss?  For me cleaning my home and experiencing a sense of order and a germ- freer environment gives me great joy and I can momentarily replace the feelings of fatigue. Being on vacation and leaving all of the issues of everyday life also provide me with bliss.   What is this sparking in you?

Where do we seek bliss? I seek bliss in shopping for new things for self and home, in cooking a meal for friends, a haircut helps me change my old look and see a newer me. Can you help to learn other sources of finding bliss in undiscovered places and situations?

Is it ever attainable?  Of course, it is. We can find joy and happiness whenever we let ourselves experience it.  I believe true bliss is within us primarily.  We do not enable ourselves to notice the feelings or joy often.  We can tend to seek bliss outside of ourself and I believe that is why bliss tends to be short- termed and not fully appreciated.  Can you think of a person who projects bliss regularly?  What makes that person attractive to you? Why are you attracted?

Perhaps today you can find time and allow yourself to experience  your true bliss.  Enjoy your bliss.  If you find your effort unsuccessful try it again later today.  Why not share your experience with someone in your family or with a friend? 

I will appreciate any feedback on this topic.  Let me know if you find this blog entry useful.  Remember, while you are finding your true joy and happiness the universe is becoming a better place. Ida

Worry, stress, insecurity, and any other uncomfortable feeling or emotion seem to find us.  For some the experience is more often and can even become all encompassing.  These experiences keep us feeling on edge, insecure, tired, frustrated, restless and more. As life goes on, situations get more demanding allowing us to resort to those uncomfortable feelings and emotions more often.  I believe that these feelings unconsciously get put into our stress-bucket, stay there and just keep getting buried.

Eventually the stress bucket gets heavy, full and unbearable.  We can’t seem to empty the bucket so we just keep letting it overflow to the point where we fell the stress of even breathing.  Can you identify at all with what I am saying?

I would like to offer a solution.  Are you ready?  Just decide to stop adding to your bucket and decide what level of discomfort you are willing to tolerate. Sounds easy?  Sounds unrealistic?  Sounds ridiculous?  Let’s step back a minute.

Are you aware that we do not all worry about the same things?  We do not all feel insure about the same things.  Why is that?  This has to do about how each of us is responsible for our own thoughts, feelings and emotions.  Ouch!  What about the effect of others on me?  This has to do with the power that you give to others over yourself. Yes, you can control your causes and levels of worry, stress, insecurities and any emotional discomfort you experience.

Let me know what you think.  Let’s duke this out
