Getting it Wrong

The perfection is in our imperfections

Which path?

There’s nothing wrong with getting it wrong.  We are not perfect human beings – the perfection is in our imperfections.  Sometimes we make good decisions, sometimes we don’t, but what is important, is that you make a decision. Sitting in “limbo land”, not going anywhere, might actually be worse for you.

Is there a difficult decision you’re avoiding? Holding onto that worry, just won’t serve you well.

You want to move through life with as much ease and grace as possible.  Be thankful you get to experience the opportunities that are out there.

Life will never move in one straight horizontal line, it’s more like a wave – sometimes you’re surfing through gigantic waves and sometimes you’re sailing on calm waters.

Sailing on Calm Waters

In order to have the “wind at your back”, you must make decisions that feel right for you.  You must make choices that align with your core values and move you towards you – the true you.

Being true to yourself, may never always be easy, but in the long run, it will give you peace of heart and inner happiness.

Trust yourself to do the right thing…..always.

If you don’t trust yourself, think about why that is.  Build up self-trust bit by bit, by standing by your values and actually doing what you say you will do.

Make a commitment to yourself to honour you and act upon it daily.

If you faulter – that’s okay, forgive yourself quickly and just get back on it and start again.

You will always get another chance to trust yourself. Allow it.

Positive Thinking

Some days we glide through life with not a care in the world, and other days, we’re doubting every thought. Self-sabotage just won’t help you move forward, and when you’re in that negative thinking mode – you must do something positive to break the circuit. Know in advance what that positive action will be, so you can apply it immediately.

It could be something simple like… phoning a friend, taking a shower, going for a walk, reading a book, writing poetry, listening to your favourite music, saying positive affirmations, going to your cherished coffee spot, putting on a “feel good” movie, writing down a list of ten things you are grateful for, taking the dog a walk, going for a drive in your car, planning a nice trip to look forward to, meditating, trying out a new hobby……

This Beautiful World

There are so many things you can do to “change up” your mood and put you in a better state mentally, emotionally and physically.

Remember, this beautiful world has only one of wonderful you and your uniqueness adds to its bright specialness.

Aim to be the best that you can be –  for you first – and then everyone around you will benefit abundantly from your growth.

It all starts with you.

Be your own best friend.

I love you for you.

Powerful Language

clarabelle-cartoon-character.png

Miss Positivity

What does using positive language mean to you?  It’s a good thing, right?  Of course from Miss Positivity here there was only ever going to be one answer to that!!

I am a very positive person, I always look for the best in people, I can easily see other peoples’ strengths and talents shining through, I guess that is because that is where my focus is.

Procrastination

I was doing some deeper research recently on how to overcome procrastination and I came across something which I feel may have much more impact that just using positive language.

Imagine, just for one day only, you switched from using your usual positive language to more powerful language.  YES, I mean think about this, positive IS really good, yet I feel sometimes only scratches the surface.  When I use POWERFUL language, for me it is much more impactful, inspiring and motivating.  I move from “I can do this ” to  “I am doing this”, powerful language is much more solid and definite.  Another example of saying powerful language might me, “I am committed to this” and with these thoughts, I really can feel my power growing inside of me, I feel I can move mountains…..let me at them!!  🙂

I Am Succeeding

Even writing this post is making me feel like a cannon ball flying through the sky and ready to explode with excitement, energy, enthusiasm and 100% determination.  “I will succeed, I am succeeding, I hold the key to my dreams in my heart and I know the combination.  Get ready for me world because I’m coming at yah and it feels so amazing.”

Challenge

So there you have it, I challenge you today, to use only POWERFUL language, empower your happy spirit, raise the bar, reach new heights, catch that falling star…….give your passion wings, I know the results will be life changing.

Wishing you a very beautiful day filled with empowering thoughts and powerful conversations that catapult you into inspired action. Love Clarabelle

Rescue Me

We all go through some very tough times in life and for me it is no different.  I have lived with my own inner battles and often find, that is when my creative self-expression is at its very best, because I am living the pain but moving forward at the same time.  This next poem was written about a time in my life when I was in a challenging place, this I feel to me was a breakthrough poem.  There is always light at the end of the tunnel, believe that and you shall see and experience that for yourself.  Lots of love Clarabelle

rescue me

Rescue Me

It’s been a tough old week,

Feeling stressed, and out of peak.

But by releasing the feelings,

It allows me, to start my healings.

I’ve cried and I’ve struggled with the pain,

But I’ll use my learning to recover again.

The answer is there,

In the darkness, I stare.

Asking for help, does anyone hear?

The answer is within, there is nothing to fear.

***

So I look at my life, from a helicopter above,

Amongst the clouds, I search for the dove.

I raise my body, out of my soul,

Floating above, I see my heart with a hole.

I begin to imagine, life is so dear,

Swimming in the bluest of oceans, near the edge of the pier.

I drift back down and join my mind,

By taking myself out, the answers I find.

To appreciate life, and all it will be,

Is discovering the truth, and then you will see.

***

That to end it all now, would not rescue me,

To not wake up tomorrow, will not set me free.

Emotions are high, and the tension is real,

But to give up now, on a punctured wheel,

Is to say that this low, will not change in time,

I’m in control, for this life is mine.

So I smile with a tear, and get off my bike,

This journey ain’t over, it’s a wonderful hike.

So I lift my head high, and carry on,

The horizon is so beautiful, and from dusk till dawn, I will stay strong.

New York, New York

Start Spreading the News

I often remember special times that filled my heart with sheer ecstasy and excitement and I know I can bring that magic into my life at any moment, just by thinking about it.  I have a favourite city that I absolutely love to visit and it is the wonderful city of New York, New York.  I have an abundance of heartfelt memories with this magnetic city and whenever I hear someone mention New York or I see a picture of New York,  my heart does smile.  However, it is also important for me to remember that although these were especially good times for me, it is not about the past, it is about right now and about creating even better memories in the future – wherever my heart takes me my soul will follow.  This next poem is about my New York experience.  Let’s reflect on our happiest days, and by being happy right now, aim to make even happier moments by planning and creating the future that we truly desire.  Start spreading the news!!  Love Clarabelle.

New York City
Clarabelle & Lorraine in New York City, November 2007

     New York, New York

I left my heart, in New York, New York,

Happy celebrations, from the champagne cork.

Fireworks in the sky, magic in the air,

People coming together, it was wonderful there.

On top of the world, feeling so good,

My soul laid its hat, in this neighbourhood.

***

A city of hope, where dreams come alive,

A vibrant atmosphere, where busy minds do thrive.

I was swamped in emotion, a new world at my feet,

I danced in the rain, with new friends I did meet.

Although I’m not there, the pictures still play,

My imagination can take me there, anytime of the day.

***

But it’s not about the past, and that amazing time,

It’s about RIGHT NOW, as I search for the divine.

I create tomorrow, from my thoughts of today,

I’ve taken my heart back, and now I’m on my way.

New York, New York, I will always love you,

We shared special moments, so heartfelt and true.
