Many things have changed in the last few weeks! One of which...I got married!! So my name is now Bobbi Anderson! It was a beautiful day that I will never forget....
So change goes.....always....that is our one constant. Let's see, what else seems to be pretty consistent in our lives? hmmmm...stress maybe....worry....
Examining the stress level in the human race these days seems to be a popular topic. Stress is being blamed for disease, anxiety disorders and so much more. And although it is a sad statistic, stress is certainly a choice.
Everything that goes on in our lives on a daily basis requires a reaction from us. And that reaction is our choice. Being in a good space within ourselves allows us to react in a more stress free, less anxious way. Sounds pretty simple...it is not. We could make it simple...but why in the world would we do that???
Making the choice to react or look at things differently can help promote a more peaceful inside barometer for us. When the 'knee-jerk' approach is used on a constant basis, we allow our choices to not feel so good inside. Instead of constantly blurting out the first thought that crosses our mind or doing the first instinctual thing that seems right...we need to take a couple of breathes and offer ourselves some other options.
What does that mean? Well, when the special someone says that phrase that always trips your trigger to an not so nice response.....take a few seconds to digest what was said and react in a new way....see what the response to the new reaction is....it could be pretty surprising. This form of a new behavior could change so many things. It is the small stuff...that is relatively easy to change that can make a huge impact on your entire life!
I want to help you on your journey to discovering the amazing person that is your authentic self. It is a fun journey...full of laughter, tears and discover!
Come back to read my blog again!! Love to all....Bobbi

What would it be like to have nothing to do???
I was thinking today how great it would be to be bored for one whole day! We are constantly meeting deadlines....getting to appointments....leaving to get somewhere....always, always, always. Then when we finally stop at the end of the day...there is no energy left to do the things that we would call relaxing.....time to just enjoy being.
Balance is so important for us to stay healthy. When we are constantly in thought of "what is next?"...where do I need to be ....what is left on the list for today?.... am I going to get everthing done today?... AND more and more AND more!!!
Setting boundaries and discovering what REALLY needs your attention, then letting go of the rest of the committments, that are not so important are tools that can get you closer to feeling like you have a bit of control over what is going on in your life.
How to accomplish??? Well, give each day the intent to spend a small portion doing something you want to do...even if it is relaxing with music, meditation, reading....just give yourself a few minutes. Get into the practice of allowing just a few minutes a day...you will discover that some of the tasks that seemed to be so very important will lose some of their importance when you give yourself the much needed minutes to just enjoy being!
Give it your best effort.....and enjoy.

Intention...
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have things just the way you want them. If they were that way, would you want something different? I wonder. We always want something different. Our world changes from minute to minute and we are constantly focusing on the future and what we can change.
We can do so much by setting an intention and visualizing what it would be like. Like a child who dreams, day-dreams, imagines how things will be....we still have that imagination. We sometimes forget how powerful our thoughts can be. Think about something long enough, with enough emotion and it will surely happen. Have you ever thought about it?
The most valuable tool we have is our minds...the thought process is one of the most complex, yet simple processes known. Is it really that simple...think about things and they will happen? How many times have you been thinking about someone and they just happen to call you or show up at your door? "I was just thinking about you" you may say.....really....think about it.
Just think about it!
Love to all, Bobbi
