When I used to play a lot of piano, I would have to memorize 14 pages of music.  In performance perhaps I would miss 1 or 2 notes, probably not even noticed by the listener………but what would I obsess about??  The hundreds of notes I played correctly or the notes I missed?  You know the answer.  You have probably had the same experience.  We seem to enjoy torturing ourselves:)

……this is the title of Byron Katie’s first book.  She says, “we only suffer when we do not accept what is.”  Ain’t that the truth!!

All day long we are doing this, that or the other thing.   Some of it is just the every dayness of life….we take a shower, brush our teeth, make our coffee or tea, get dressed for the day,  etc.   It is our routine and routine’s give our life a foundation and act to ground us.  It feels good to have a certain amount of life that is predictable.

Where Do You Need To Say No?? http://melaniejwilliams.com/where-can-you-say-yes-where-do-you-need-to-say-no/ http://melaniejwilliams.com/where-can-you-say-yes-where-do-you-need-to-say-no/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:32:16 +0000 Melanie Williams http://melaniejwilliams.com/?p=2114

Some of you may have seen the movie with Jim Carrie called “Yes Man”.  In the movie he has been very negative and decides he is going to say “YES” to EVERYTHING that comes along……and so he does!  It definitely wakes him up, enlivens him, gets him WAY out of his box and a lot of it pays off.  Eventually it gets out of balance and he realizes there are times he does need to say “no”.  A good message.Jim Carrey in "Dumb and Dumber," "The Mask" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

……you have to roll with it.  It is like a big wave coming in and you try to stop it.  You can’t.  But if you can relax and “surf” it, you will find your way back to shore quickly.

We all make many decisions every day.  Small decisions and large decisions.  What is the energy BEHIND our decision making?  Is it the need to please?  Is it trying to prove your value to someone?  Is it the fear of losing security?
