Week Forty-four - Money - Part 1

Most people I know aren't happy with their financial situation. They want more. What stops them? What stops you? 

This week think about how money was handled in your house growing up and see if you can find ways that your life is the same and/or different.

For example, in my life growing up there was a lot of fear of not having enough. It created jealousy on the part of my parents. It created anger on the part of my mother. It was always a big and uncomfortable issue. Since I have grown up I have seen that I have always managed to live on 'the edge' with very few exceptions. I always say, "I've lived on the right side of the edge" because I always pay my bills on time whereas my father was mostly late.

Think about the influences in your life from childhood that may be effecting your financial situation now.

Week Forthy-three - Your family

This week focus on your parents. 

• Describe your mother's personality. Then talk about how you are like her and how you are not.
•  Describe your father's personality. How are you like him? How are you different.
• If you have siblings, do the same.

Week Forty-two - Whom do you trust?

Many of us have trouble truly trusting people. We have been disappointed or hurt and each time that happens, it can have lasting effects if not really dealt with. 

This week talk about :
Who do you trust the most and why?

Who do you trust the least and why?

Week Forty-one - Your reward

Last week you focused on some possibly difficult experiences. I believe you should reward yourself with a loving experience after difficult ones.
 
Think about the phrase "random acts of kindness". You know how good you feel when you do something for someone and can think about their happiness with what you did. 

To churn up some really good feelings about yourself, what are five things you could do for someone this week just to be kind?

• After you do them, come share here about them. 
• What was it like? 
• How do you feel?

Week Forty - Feeling bad

This week focus on times when someone made you feel bad about yourself. 

What did they do and how did you react?

Week Thirty-nine - Being accepted

This week focus on times when people made you feel welcomed or accepted.

What did they do and how did it make you feel?

Week Thirty-eight - Being you - Part 2

Just as there are things about yourself that are difficult, there are things about yourself that you love. I love my love of a kind of spiritual magic that I often seek and often find. One of the wonderful things my mother did was to teach me about being grateful and that how I treat my fellow man is what makes me a good person. Those things can create a kind of magic and that love has led me to study many ways and understand the oneness of humanity.

What parts of yourself do you find joyful?
