Finding Resonance- Feeling Good

It's been awhile since I posted and now since COV-19 has overtaken the world (for now, anyway), I've decided to do a bit of an update.

I want to dedicate some time to the idea of finding resonance. For me, finding resonance is all about feeling good. How can you feel good? What can you do at this time with so much unrest seemingly coming from all directions to feel good.

I've started a more formal meditation/mindful practice using an app! I strongly recommend something that you can easily add to your schedule with no fuss, with the only goal of just giving your mind a minute to just be, to just be free. For peace of mind, it's worth it!  I use the Headspace app and love it but I'm sure there are others that may be just as good and/or useful. This is my first time experimenting with this type of app and I love it!

I have also added a positive affirming app to my phone for the simple reason of getting a dose of "feel good" from my phone throughout the day. I like getting these little "happy" notifications and sometimes the reminder. Some of the statements hit me, they really resonate while others don't. It helps me focus in on the ones that are really for me. All affirming statements are not for everyone, the key is finding those that resonate with you (personally---that 's your super sauce, your super power).

I am worthy of doing things that bring me joy.

I choose to be relaxed in any situation.

I am calm.

I am not alone.

Loving and being loved is a wonderful feeling.

I trust my intuition and follow my heart.

I accept who I am and I feel beautiful.

Worth Ethic Inspiration

Worth Ethic or Work Ethic

I read a funny headline today that stated, 

"Charlize Theron's Worth Ethic Inspired by Immigration."

Theron's worth ethic was inspired by immigration? 

Clearly this wording had to be a typo so I read further into the article and sure enough, the author was discussing her WORK ethic and how she became driven (and ambitious) because of her immigrant status in Hollywood. Without any friends or family, Theron, who hails from South Africa, discussed that her motivation came from wanting to "pay her bills and not having to work a second job, especially with no support system" in the US. Okay, that seemed reasonable and easy enough......but I just couldn't stop thinking of that notion of a "worth" ethic.

I took that typo-ed title as a cue for me to imagine what it would mean to have a "worth ethic." What would one of those look like? 

A work ethic usually entails working hard and persevering. It usually speaks to one's sense of character, of being responsible, of having integrity and having a strong sense of responsibility.

Now, let's dissect what it would mean to have or to develop a worth (or worthy) ethic.

Worth is often thought of as having value.

When we think about feeling worthy, we (can) attribute this value to ourselves, we can affirm that we, as human beings, have value (just because). It has nothing to do with who we are or what we have. I think of being worthy like this, because you and I were born, we are worthy; because we are here, we are worthy (period).

Ethic or ethics has to do with the way something is governed. It has to do with a set of principles, rules or conditions that one may follow or live by. Merriam Webster defines it as a set of moral principles or a guiding philosophy. I like the last part about a guiding philosophy. Think about a guiding philosophy that we could carry around about ourselves, about being and feeling worthy, or feeling valuable and having a knowing that we have something worthwhile to give or contribute to the world. I wonder if people would be able to see that in us as we go about our everyday lives. Would they remark about how we had an awesome worth ethic? Would they talk about how they could tell how good we felt about ourselves (just by looking at us) and how good they (even) felt just from being around us? I wonder what they would be able to sense or feel about how we navigated the world. I wonder, what kinds of people and experiences we would attract? How much fun would we (all) be having in our everyday lives?

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being recognized as a person with a strong work ethic; I just wonder what it would feel like or be like to be known as someone with a strong or desirable worth ethic!

According to Abraham Hicks, it's everything and we must learn to train ourselves to FEEL GOOD and once we embrace feeling good, everything that we desire flows to us much easier.
