Take the Challenge!

Are you going to join me?  Pledge to not watch TV for 7 DAYS, or whatever you think you can manage! I am posting this today thinking most of you probably won’t read this until tomorrow sometime. I have received a couple of emails with some pertinent questions and suggestions surrounding this event and I will share them with you below:

Suggestion: A couple of you felt a better start date, with the weekend approaching, would be Monday.

I agree, and really, you should start your pledge on whatever day you think will work best for you! For me the weekend is the time when I typically am out and about a lot I and watch the least amount of TV. If you think it would be easiest to give up TV during the week this, is what you should do!

Question: A couple more of you felt a week might be a little aggressive and wondered if committing to less time to start would be advisable.

Again, Good Point! I have done this before on a couple of occasions so I guess I am less apprehensive. You should all do whatever feels right for you. I can tell you it does help to have a partner or friend to share the experience with. The one thing I noticed on the two occasions I have done this is the amazing amount of found time I had and the quandary of what to do with it all.

Whatever you do, I hope you will share your experience, as I will, in the comment section at the end of this post. Every time I do this I swear I am not going to watch TV EVER Again!! But like all bad habits; it’s so easy to fall back into them so refresher courses are great! I have found that I fall back into the bad habit when I feel the need to watch something positive, like the Olympics, or something I feel is very important, like the President, Republicans and Democrats purposing to discuss health care… that’s not really what I saw but it was an interesting experiment in human behavior, or misbehavior!!!! But I try not to discuss politics or religion. My motto, to each his own!

Anyway, when I do indulge in something I think is positive, I find, via commercials, I get plenty of negative messages in the process!!! But like kicking any bad habit; if you fall off simply start again. Eventually you will find less of a need for a refresher course and you will be ready to sell your TV!!!!!!

If you want to publicly commit, sign up in the comment section at the end of this post or feel free to email me at deborah@womenintransitiononline.com.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. If you missed the previous post about this event and need further instruction, scroll down to the I Dare You…dont listen post.

I am so pleased to have the opportunity to share Ms. Peggy Kligman’s inspirational story. So often when I ask women, particularly in this economy, if they love their life and what they are doing they say “I don’t like it but what else would I do? I’ve done fill in the blank forever.”  Here’s a beautiful example of Getting Your Year in Gear, (excuse the shameless self promotion). Through her experience of overcoming Ms. Kligman has found a very unique and FUN way to help other women.

Here’s her story from her website:

Grandma Pandoshus aka Peggy Kligman is the creator of the Goat Game.

After three failed marriages and several dysfunctional (and sometimes abusive) relationships, Peggy Kligman aka “Grandma Pandoshus” was desperately in need of dating rehab.  In 2004, after proclaiming … “no more relationships for me”… Peggy took a break from relationships to resolve her past by inventing the Goat Game.  “It’s fun and playful and it worked for me.  Through the goat characters (similar to human behavior) I was able to recognize why I exhibited self-destructive behaviors and made poor choices.   As a result of this awakening, today I am able to enjoy a healthy and loving relationship.”

Once Peggy broke free from her past of heartaches, she soon thereafter embarked on her newly discovered joyful single lifestyle.  She announced, “If this game can help someone like me, then I must share it with others in need of dating rehab.”  Subsequent to test-marketing the game throughout the Texas region while exhibiting her game at counselor’s conventions, Peggy was delighted to discover others were quickly recognizing the benefits of the Goat Game.  Now, Peggy has launched her game online so that everyone can play and it’s free!  (www.thegoatgame.com)

Peggy goes by the moniker Grandma Pandoshus.  When asked why she goes by the name “Pandoshus”, she responds, “My grandmother Doshie was a shining light during my dreadfully dark past!  She was a woman of strength who prevailed from a baaad marriage by leaving her abusive husband and, with her integrity intact, single-handedly reared five happy and well adjusted children.  Imagine her courage especially during the early 1900s!”  She adds, “Pan—the playful half-man half-goat mythology character—along with the derivative of my grandmother Doshie is why I chose Pandoshus as the voice of the Goat Game.”   

Peggy is also a motivational speaker and the author of “Wisdom2Win”, an empowerment handbook which guides the reader on how to stop the whining and be the winner.  She lives in the El Paso, Texas region and speaks to audiences on the subject matter of empowering oneself to live to their fullest potential.  She facilitates Goat Game Gatherings to singles’ groups throughout the nation.  To learn more about Peggy, visit www.wisdom2win.com.  To play the Goat Game online or to purchase your own game, visit: www.thegoatgame.com

• P.S. Speaking of improving your life and attitude, don’t forget to take the Don’t Listen Dare!!! It starts on Thursday. Scroll down to the ”I Dare You…don’t listen” post below and sign up today.  

Anyway, in one of those emails was a GREAT IDEA for a fun experiment… hence the dare:

Take the Challenge

NO TV?

Starting Thursday, March 4, 2010 I dare you/me to turn off the television for 7 Days! That’s right no TV. Keep a little personal journal and send in your observations about this experience.

• What did you do in lieu of watching TV?
• How did you feel?
• What did you like about it?
• What did you dislike about it?
• What surprised you about this experience?
• Do you think it made a difference in your mood or attitude?
• And of course… did you cheat?

 If you are game sign up in the comment section. On March 4th I will write a post announcing that start of the dare. We can share our thoughts  by returning to this post and commenting throughout the week, or whenever you feel like it.

Can you give up television for Seven Short Days out of your life?

 Come on, have some fun with this and take the dare! Pledge your commitment today!!

It sounds so simplistic and yet the results that can be garnered from following this advice are nothing short of staggering. Like all habits, developing the “habit of not watching TV” can be harder to do than one might think. I find myself easing back into catching a piece of news here and there and suddenly realizing I’m kidding myself and tuning into the news each night. Once I recognize this I can actually see the difference in my attitude, creativity and energy level and trace it back to the day I began to plug myself into this incredible powerful negative feed.

Too Much Television

Of course it’s understandable. Marketers, ad agencies and big business have spent billions discovering ways to addict us and it starts at earlier and earlier ages. (cartoons/toys) As it succeeds it is delivered in larger and larger doses. (More on this in my next ezine article) Let’s just agree that tuning out negativity, whether it is from television or unsupportive people is hard to do but the results are well worth the effort.

So…if I don’t watch TV or News wouldn’t it have been possible to miss the inspiring piece below?

Surround yourself with positive thoughts and people and positive information will find you!

Such was the case when I watched this inspiring video recently featured on ABC News that was linked in an email I received! This arrived on a day I really needed to be reminded that:

It’s the journey. Follow your passion and success will be the likely destination.

Click here, http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/HealthyLiving/odds-dancing-cerebral-palsy/story?id=9596192 and take five short minutes to be inspired. You’ll love this I promise!

P.S.  I’d love to know if it reminded you of something you needed to hear, and of course, what that might be. It’s easy, just click on the “leave comment link at the end of this post or feel free to email me at deborah@womenintransitiononline.com!

It occurred to me you might not always have the time or want to read a lengthy article either. Eureka! Food for thought is born; short inspirational idea and tip podcasts you can access anytime you like!

I have spoken of her before. She has always been a special person who dances to the beat of her own drum and whatever “dance” she is dancing, her passion is palpable and the consequent good results seem effortless.  To know her is to love her.

Over the past few years she has experienced a great deal of change in her life; some by circumstance and most by design. Indeed, what she has endured would sideline many. To be brief, a sudden and unexpected health issue that nearly killed her and took her short term memory and livelihood and a relationship that ended suddenly. But instead of giving in she continued with her passion for life, Tango Dancing, and looking forward.

The Cinderella Part

There came an opportunity for two lengthy visits to Argentina to submerge in the culture and most importantly, Dance the Tango to her heart’s content. Of course she grabbed it. It was on one of these visits that she met the special someone.  Although their physical time together was brief that magical “thing” that is so unexplainable; a knowing, an intuition that this is right grew after her return. Now she glows and seems to be in a joyous, private and impenetrable place.

Her handsome prince has asked her to join him in Argentina and for her hand in marriage. In fact, he has come to take her to the home he has prepared for them. She is selling her home here, an incredible unique place filled with interesting treasures collected and created over the years that so clearly speak to who she is. She seems delighted to spread her possessions among her many friends first and then the rest will be sold off.  There is no sign of regret. She is taking only what she needs for her new life in a small number of suitcases and an even smaller amount that will be shipped. She will enjoy smaller accommodations in the city; a liberating walk/live lifestyle without the burdens of excessive belongings. There is no sign of hesitance; she radiates a calm self assured peace and joy that is in a word… enviable.

The Risk

Her friends are many and each with their own version of well intentioned concern.  Shouldn’t she rent her home for a while to see how this turns out? Shouldn’t she go and get to know him better before she takes such irreversible actions?  What if she needs help? She will be so far away from all of us who love her.

I spent a day with her a while back and discovered that her thinking is not as impetuous as it might seem. Of course she is aware that this might not be a happy ever after but she is not going to focus on it. She has weighed the advantages and disadvantages of her decision and has come to what is right for her. There are, after all, opportunities that come with living in and exploring a culture she loves whether the relationship lasts or not. Bottom line, she could stay “safe” and shackled to “things’” and a life she has outgrown or risk, thrive and shape a life that is more of who she is now.

Now I’m not suggesting you and nor am I ready or in a position to wipe the slate clean and start over. We are all different and unique. Although my friend has always danced to the beat of her own drum, even she admits this is a drastic albeit exciting move.   But it does clearly illustrate to me that in order to discover, change and grow we must be willing to set aside our fears and risk. For it is in this risk, whether large or small, that growth and the opportunity to live a life of consequence, a life without regrets can occur. It is what makes life rich, interesting and keeps us alive and thriving!

Congratulations my friend! I wish you joy and happiness in your new life!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

TO YOUR DREAMS

HOLIDAY STRESS

The reality is we are adding enough extra duties into our schedule to keep a full time employee busy. With that said, I’ll get right to the point. Here are 10 great ways to save some time AND relieve some stress.

1. Lay out what you are going to wear the night before and have whatever you need to take with you organized and by the door.  The simple act of having one less decision to make in the morning will relieve stress and get you out the door quick with a clear mind.
2. Through the Holidays get up 20 minutes earlier than you normally do. We all have a lot of extra errands and things on our minds right now.  It is much easier to be efficient when we feel prepared and not rushed.
3. Speaking of extra errands, there is no better time to keep your to do list up to date. Write EVERYTHING down.  You will feel a sense of accomplishment when you see tasks crossed off your list. With a written list you will be more likely to use your time wisely and sneak an extra errand in when you find yourself near the location of one of your chores.
4. Prioritize your list. Keep the things you must get done at the top of the list and leave the items that are not imperative at the bottom.
5. This is the time to keep your meals easy to prepare! Consider keeping some prepared deli foods in the fridge for emergencies. If you do cook, it is a great idea to double your recipes so you will have prepared food ready to heat and serve on those particularly rushed days.
6. Wear your most comfortable shoes and clothes. You will have more energy and will more likely feel like doing the extra chores on your list!
7. It’s not too late to shop online for some or all of your gifts. The best part… you can do it in your pajamas and  gift wrapping is often included or offered for a very minimal fee!
8. This is no time to play the Wonder Woman role. ASK FOR HELP! Divvy up some of the duties you can’t get to.
9. When you find yourself stressed to the max take a 30 minute time out; go for a brief walk, read a few pages from your favorite book or just find a quiet place to sit and relax.  When you are stressed your mind is cluttered and it becomes hard to focus.
10. Lastly, if you really find yourself overwhelmed consider contacting a personal assistant concierge service. I did a quick search on the internet and found several that offer help from the simplest to the largest of chores and duties. Now doesn’t that sound tempting?

Remember, you are human and your best IS ENOUGH. Keep a positive attitude and find a way to enjoy this season.  I hope you spend it surrounded by those you love and are filled with the gratitude of all that you have and all that you are.

1. Number 1 priority – TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. If you’re stressed and exhausted you can’t enjoy anything. This can lead to a lower immune system, feelings of resentment and a short fuse. Plan now to get a massage, manicure/pedicure sometime during this season. This is the ideal time to force you to start that morning walk ritual. A few moments alone in the fresh air can really help you center and relax. Here are some other excellent ideas to keep handy and relax:

1. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. My friend Sharon shared this excellent recipe for a wonderful detoxifying water drink:

Sassy Water

81/2 cups water

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger root

1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

1 medium lemon, thinly sliced

12 mint leaves

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Leave all ingredients in the water thereafter. This is really good so be sure to try it.

2. We are likely to be on our feet a lot more than usual and we all know what this can do…. Here is an easy foot bath to refresh, revive and invigorate your tired aching feet after a long day of work, shopping or entertaining.

Refreshing Foot Bath

1 sprig of fresh rosemary with leaves

5 or 6 drops of tea tree oil

Fill a metal or plastic container that is large enough to comfortably fit both of your feet in with warm to hot water, depending on your comfort level. Make sure the container is large enough so the water will reach your ankles when you put your feet in. Break up and sprinkle the rosemary leaves into the water. Add the tea tree oil and gently swirl them into the water. Sit in a comfortable chair, place your feet in the bath, put your head back and relax and enjoy!

We should all remember to pamper ourselves throughout the year but during this hectic season that can test our strength and reserves it is imperative to give yourself extra time and attention. Make time, it’s important.

1.     Planning. Part of the problem is we tend to think in the big picture and leave out the number of hours and time involved in our plans and we may not have the unlimited funds and army of helpers available to complete the tasks. Realize that your holiday gatherings do NOT have to be perfect. And really isn’t the perfect holiday the one where everyone had a wonderful time. (That includes you.)

• Plan now to let your family contribute to making this season a special one. Allowing family and friends to contribute will make them feel important, included and most people really appreciate the opportunity! Everyone has a special pie, dish or talent they would love to show off and share!
• Consider setting the holiday table up a day or so early with a family member or friends who also enjoys this activity. This could become a holiday ritual and bonding opportunity!  I always cover the masterpiece with a sheet until the day of the dinner.
•  Commit to being flexible with schedules ahead of time. Get in the flow of the holiday and be willing to let go of a planned activity that doesn’t happen and don’t stress if the dinner does not come out on the exact hour you planned.

2.     Speaking of traditions and rituals. Every holiday does not have to be the same. Sit down now and choose which of your traditions are the most important to you and leave the others for another time. You can then do the job justice and will have the energy to really make it special and enjoy it. Keeps things familiar but fresh with a new idea or two.  Try to size down a bit, think Quality not Quantity. And remember all those magazines and TV shows have a number of unseen heads and hands, (staff) that make works of art a reality.  Here are a couple of enjoyable ideas to enjoy and can actually help you with the process at the same time.

•  Have a cookie decorating afternoon. Invite your guests to an afternoon of making cookies. Everyone can bring cookie making supplies and decorate the cookies for your family gatherings. Get a goofy gift and blind vote for who made the coolest cookie.
• Include an evening of fun free holiday entertainment. Cook popcorn and watch a traditional favorite holiday movie or a drive around town to look at lights. Visit a museum or an art gallery. How about a pretty drive and stop for some hot chocolate along the way. Very relaxing and a chance to spend some quality time with loved ones. Grab your girlfriends or relatives and head for the mall and get a picture made with Santa. Rollerblade together or take an evening walk through the neighborhood and then share some Christmas cheer afterward. Be creative; sometimes the simplest activities are the best.
• Christmas wrapping parties with friends can be fun also. Gather some friends have them bring some of their presents and supplies and wrap presents together! Great conversations and ideas are born in the process.

3.    BUDGET. This is an annual problem and is the number one stressor for the holiday season. Make a gift budget and stick to it. That way you won’t feel dread during the process and want to shoot yourself after it is over. Do what you need to do to stay in that budget. Draw names or reduce the number of presents you give to each person. Do some homemade gifts. There are many ways to cut back here. Offer your time or expertise in a certain area, gardening or cooking a meal or house/dog sitting and give your loved one a coupon to be used when they need it in the coming year. Many of these things are of great value to someone and often times more appreciated than anything else you could give!   

And lastly, this year I am determined to make my shopping experience pleasant and not simply another pressure. I am going to do as much of my shopping as possible online and EARLY! I have already started my list and the best of what I have found is below. There are unique gifts for everyone and maybe some of these ideas will be perfect for the loved ones in your life.

Unique Gifts and Fab Finds:

Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot with Glass Lid 

 This is a beautiful gift for anyone who loves the ritual of a relaxing cup of tea. When placed in  water the tea balls gracefully open into a delightful flower. Enchanting!

Meditation Bowl Box, Red Lotus; 3″

Prepara Herb Savor

Just in case Santa doesn’t bring me my Aerogarden… I thought this herb savor was a great idea. Fresh herbs do have a tendency to go bad quicker than I can use them and this will extend their life in my fridge. It seems well worth it when you consider the expense of fresh herbs at the grocer! 

Norpro 5-1/2-Inch Garlic Baker

Yum! Garlic is so good for us. Who doesn’t love the taste and smell of roasted garlic. I usually do mine on the grill so this will be perfect on those days that is impossible. It’s oven and microwave safe!

Heloooo, Alexis, are you listening?

I had way too much fun shopping for these gifts. I hope you find something wonderful  for your special person.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day! I hope you spend it surrounded by those you love and are filled with the gratitude of all that you have and all that you are.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I am not going to turn this into a personal soap opera but I am pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the event and what I continue to learn from it. When things don’t go as we have planned or fantasized it is tempting to feel sorry for ourselves and drag unpleasant events from the past into our present.   There is great power in the ability to step back and look at things from a different perspective, to stay in the present and communicate with a less defensive attitude! We will always be confronted with events and circumstances that will challenge us but with the right attitude and healthy self image these events become opportunities for growth and wisdom.

Now For the Fun Part!!!!

In one of my recent posts I offered a couple of suggestions on ways to spend some quality time bonding and cherishing your friends. I recently had the pleasure of attending a DIVA PARTY hosted by one of my dear friends and can now personally testify to the benefits of gathering with women friends and simply letting your hair down. Gather a group of fun women add some food, appropriate beverages and bask in the therapy of uncensored female humor and bonding.

 

This party had all the right ingredients for a perfect night. We were treated to a couple of well researched trivia games that were just the right accelerants to provide ample hilarity and creative comments.

Trivia winners… and oh my, was the trivia interesting.

There were awards for the best slut slippers, and the best diva Jacket award.

The best diva Costumes

The well deserved naughtiest Diva of the night award went to Diva Freckles who received rave reviews!

Our beautiful and fun hostess with the most-est.

This is just a small sampling of the MANY fun photos from that hilarious evening. As you can see, a fun time was had by all! Thanks to Diva Christine for a wonderful party and memory! If you haven’t done this lately you simply must! Bond, defuse, recharge and make sure to include one of these parties in your round of holiday activities or anytime. It is therapy at its best and a great Attitude Adjustment.

THANK YOU DIVA CHRISTINE

If you are looking for other ways to improve your attitude grab a friend or two and take the free 21 day Attitude Adjustment course. It really is simple to do, fun and it works!
