Do better.  I have a short piece today for a short phrase: do better. Those simple words came to me the other day in the middle of a pity-party/frustrating moment that nearly brought me into the same pattern I’ve felt for years: get upset and frustrated and allow ego to take over and never see the project through.  In truly wanting to feel better, we must do better.  There are things we simply have to go through or we have to decide to walk away from.  I started thinking about the application of the lessons I’ve learned and realized that things weren’t moving as I’d like them to because I wasn’t adhering to what I learned.  Having the knowledge is great and it’s a wonderful foundation, but if we don’t do anything with it, we never create the experience to truly immerse and understand it.  So I thought I would share a list of things that I want to focus on in order to do better in my life and in the lives of others.  I hope this helps!

More gratitude, more love and care.  More care for my heart, head, body, soul, family, home.  Less fear of losing, more work on loving.  Clearer focus, better priorities.  Follow through on commitments to others and to my own ideas.  Releasing the opinions of others.  Identifying better ways to work with my talents and better ways to share that energy with others.  More accountability, less blaming.  Intentional thought and energy toward the positive and creative ideas, less focus on what has happened before.  More focus on personal power instead of trying to control others.  More acceptance, less demanding.  More expansion and less contraction.  More doing the things that bring me joy, less repeating the same patterns every day. Progress, not perfection—just make sure intention and focus are there so we are headed in the right direction.  And simply, more of what feels good and less of what doesn’t.
