Dear Joy,
School is almost out for the summer; Mothers' Day and
graduation are close at hand. It's time to plant our
gardens (in this part of the country), begin the annual ritual of
springtime clean-up and enjoy the beauty of the flowering trees and
shrubs, fresh air and moderate temperatures. Now is the time to
manifest those creative ventures and adventures that you've been
planning for all winter. Enjoy!
The "Message of Joy" below gives
you 7 steps for making life easier and more fun. Also, note
the upcoming classes in the next few months. The next Healing Touch,
Level 1 class is April 22-23 with another one Aug. 21-22; the HT
Intro class is July 31.
Please note the greater awareness and involvement of
medical schools in Complementary and Alternative Medicine near the
end of this newsletter. This is good news for everyone.

Easy Does It
in 7 Simple Steps
I'm all for making it
easy. Can I count you in? Then let's look at 7 simple steps for
making our hours, days and lives easier and more fun.
- Let
go of acculturated beliefs that no longer serve us, but we still
live by. For
example: We've got to work long and hard for anything of value.
Work isn't supposed to be fun. First we work, and then we play
(if there's time). I'm sure you can add to this list. Are you
still letting these beliefs influence your decisions and make
your life harder?
- Get
rid of the idea that you must do it all by yourself.
Ever heard the saying, "Many hands make light
work"? This was true long ago and is even more so today.
With the multitude of tasks we're faced with on a daily basis,
it's no wonder we sometimes feel overwhelmed, "edgy"
or discouraged. Why do you feel you must do it all and do it
well? It's unreasonable to expect yourself to be an expert in an
area you've never been trained in. For some of us that may
include marketing, computer graphics and sales. For others, it
may be trying to do all you used to do and a whole lot more. Do
the math. It's not possible. The bottom line is: Get some help!
- Prioritize,
delegate, barter and contract the help you desire. Look at what really
needs to be done vs. habitual patterns. What can be delegated,
dropped or done more creatively or efficiently? You may dearly
love doing some of your tasks, projects or daily routines. Is it
the best use of your time? If so, you may want to keep doing
those. You may have expertise in areas that no one else can do
to your satisfaction. Continue with those. Look for others who
will barter or contract with you. Remember virtual service
providers. Delegate responsibilities when possible. Expect
others to follow through. Give them the authority to do so. Avoid
jumping in to "fix it" any time someone doesn't do
his/her part, or you'll find yourself back at square one.
- Say
"No" with grace, ease and aplomb. If you find yourself
saying "Yes" to doing things you would rather not do,
you may find this one very challenging. If you find yourself
saying "Yes" because you want to do it but don't have
the time, you still have a problem. In this case, you're either
letting others down by not delivering as promised or you're
letting yourself down, or perhaps your family, by giving up your
time for fun or relaxation.
- Set
boundaries. What feels good to you and what
doesn't? Go with what feels good. Let that be your guide. Know
who's responsible for what. Is it family, a co-worker, another
volunteer, a friend? Follow through with what's yours to
do. Let others learn to do their part.
- Dream
about what you really desire. Feel it, taste it, see it and
believe it is happening. Spend time planning
for it. Enjoy this delicious, creative, joyful, moment of
gratitude and allowing yourself to dream again. The rest will
fall into place as you focus on feeling good about yourself and
your future. Know that you don't have to work so hard to make
something happen. Follow your guidance, do your part and stay in
the flow.
- Find
ways to make everything more fun; give gratitude for what is;
focus on positive feelings and thoughts. If you don't like
what you've got, changing your thinking will change your life.
Now that you've taken steps to make your life easier and
more fun, the only thing left to do is enjoy planning for what you're
going to do with the extra time: play, create, travel or dream some
more.
Keep doing what
feels good to you!
