Emotional Health

Did you know?

• Anger: The fight or flight response protects us, but feeding anger destroys. 
• Fear:  An awareness of danger heightens our senses, but chronic, abiding fear paralyzes us. 
• Guilt: The awareness of wrong doing helps us develop ethical values; it only takes a moment to discern i though. Ongoing guilt serves no productive purpose. It not only feels awful, it almost always leads to resentment.

Here's to healthy emotional responses, especially happiness! Good for your heart, your digestion, your blood pressure! It promotes energy, kindness, love, creativity, and makes all of life beautiful.

To your happiness!

New Year's Blue Sky List

Sometimes it drops from the sky, just the boost you need. Mine came from a Facebook post from my dear friend, Ellen (Ellen Steendijk-Pels, singer-songwriter, www.lllzingt.nl ) in the Netherlands. She said:

"I make a 'Blue Skies List' every year (at least once). Mandy Evans wrote about it in her book Emotional Options. If you could simply pick anything out of the blue sky, what would it be? For me it becomes a brainstorm without censorship. It doesn't matter how silly or crazy or unrealistic my desires are, I can just list them. This process has made many, many things clear for me, and continues to do so.

Breaking dreams down into tiny steps or actions is a great way to make them come true as well! Thanks for the idea!"

This New Year, I'd neglected to do one! People have kept their lists for years to review them later, amazed at the results. More powerful than resolutions,sometimes it works faster than a speeding bullet, sometimes so slowly you don't notice, and sure, sometimes not at all. You're not the boss of everything.

If you really want to shake it up and light it up this year, add being happy now to conscious desire for the next adventures, ask for it from the blue sky, write it down and see what happens.

Gotta go write that list! Have fun with yours.

Love, 

Mandy

Clear Vision: What I Learned from Cataract Surgery

I do not ask for help easily. At least this time I managed to override the automatic, "If you can't do it, no problem." I just asked. The second person, my neighbor was able and willing to arrive at my gate at 7:15 AM to take me off to the surgery center.

A healing environment and kindness are very important to me. I knew my doctor was an old grouch with a reputation for an explosive temper. He's harsh; I'm sensitive but we got through it OK.

The big lesson is that I focus on what may be wrong more than I like, sort of scanning for problems like a computer anti-virus program on high alert.. There was plenty to focus on, lots of little hiccups, like those pesky broken blood vessels. Easiest to obsess about, a very slow recovery to normal vision, just approaching today on day 4.

My coaching clients and I work on this together all the time. It comes up for the most successful people I know. In my work I never want to "think positive" or "think negative." The goal is always clear vision. This seems a perfect opportunity to improve my own view. If something is off, I want to know, but not to the exclusion of the wonder all around me!

If you too, sometimes get caught up in the what-is-wrong-web, maybe this is a good time for you too, to widen your focus and include the wonder of it all.

Today I am going to consciously include in my focus:

• The miracle of fast eye surgery 
• The extraordinary miracle of sight
• The kind wishes of friends and my dear son
• The thoughtful support of my neighbor
• The miracle of color
• My comfy home to return to
• The gradual clearing of my vision
• The vast numbers of people who can see because of  surgery like this
• The warm feeling of gratitude for my life and the coming holiday
• Love and thanks to you for sharing my journey!

Here's to clear vision and happiness!
