Howdy Folks and Good Day!
When you listen to your “self talk” or the thoughts that ramble through your
head, do you tend to believe the positive, the negative, or both? Or are you thinking, “what self talk?!”
One thing I’ve noticed working with numerous people is those who stay stuck or tend to sabotage themselves either listen to their negative self talk or block out their thoughts all together. Either scenario is a good formula for feeling lousy, if not outright depressed.
Folks, if I could only share one piece of information with
you to transform your life, it would be to tune
in to, distinguish, and know beyond a doubt which “voice” in your head to
follow.
HINT: It’s NOT the mean and nasty one! That voice is your ego. The ego is a liar. Its purpose is to make you aware of your fears.
Listen to the other voice, the one that says, “You know, you’re not such a bad person. You’ve got some pretty special things about you. You are a divine child of God.” That’s the voice of your Divine Guidance, Higher Self, or Inner Wisdom. It’s not important what you call it, it is important for you to LISTEN TO IT.
The trouble comes when we get so used to the voice of the
ego we begin to believe it’s actually the voice of our Higher Self, our
IT’S NOT! All that dis-empowering, self-sabotaging small talk is NOT your
Sure, it might take a kernel of truth into the equation, but it’s going to blow it way out of proportion, like looking at yourself in one of those funky funhouse mirrors they have at the carnival. If you know it’s being distorted, you can laugh at how you’re seeing yourself. But if you think that’s really how you appear in life, whoa! There’s something seriously wrong there. And there is something wrong – the perception of what’s real. That’s it.

A Blessing to End the
We all need to feel good about ourselves. Sometimes that means feeling we look good. Sometimes it means feeling satisfied with the way we are eating, or getting along with our spouse. And sometimes it just means feeling that we can stay on top of all our chores and responsibilities. All are realistic needs that I take into account, as a positive psychologist. I have them and probably you do, also!
Celebrate your life every chance you can get. You're doing a great job in what can be a tough world! Give yourself a break this weekend. You'll feel so much better when the alarm goes off on Monday morning!

A Weekly Column

TRAPPED IN TRUTH
I am a freak of nature. Not a super freak or a mega-freak or a freak to the 59th power. No need to call Guinness or Barnum & Bailey, and I'm nowhere near freaky enough for reality TV. I'm not Dennis Rodman, for Pete's sake. I'm just a little freaky. A freak-ette, if you will.
It’s just that I've always been big. When I was born I weighed 10 pounds, 14 ounces, and I was 22 inches long. The other babies in the hospital nursery looked so cute and delicate tucked away in their little bassinets; I pretty much filled mine up, with arms and legs dangling over the sides. Dad said it was embarrassing. He'd go to visit me, and people would be lining up to see the huge baby.
"Look at him," they'd say. "He looks like he was held over from the last class."
I wasn’t held over, but I was always the biggest in my class. Well, OK, there was fifth grade, when Jan Davis was a little taller. But I surged past her in sixth grade and left her in the dust at about 5-6. It wasn't until junior high that I encountered guys my age who were as tall as me. But they tended to be skinny, so I still had weight on them (I probably still do, but that's another story).
While being big had its downside (like being called Tubs, and always being in the back row for school pictures), mostly it was a good thing. Especially for basketball and football. I wasn't the best basketball player in the neighborhood (that honor probably went to Ron or Don Thomas, whichever twin was hottest at the time), but as the biggest I was usually one of the first players chosen when teams were picked. Ditto football. I wasn't the most athletic player, but I was tough to block or tackle. And I suspect a little self-preservation came into play here, too, since there was probably less risk of me falling on top of -- and consequently crushing -- players on my own team.
But baseball was different. My size didn't give me a competitive advantage. In fact, it seemed to work against me. It was hard to get my big body moving around the base paths, and I was never as quick at the plate or in the field as my smaller friends. Opposing teams would move their outfielders back when I batted for the first time, assuming that someone that big could really hit. But by the end of the game the outfielders would move in when I was up. Or they would take a little nap.
In my mind, the problem was my size. Clearly baseball wasn't a good game for big guys. It favored smaller guys who were closer to the ground (easier to scoop up grounders) and who had shorter arms (tighter, more compact bat swinging). I could live with that. There were plenty of advantages to my size in other sports. It was OK if smaller guys had the advantage in baseball.
But then I went to one of Ron and Don's Triple A games (I was in lowly Single A), and I saw them playing against guys who were my size or bigger. And these big guys were -- gulp! -- good ball players. Really good. When I found out they were our age, I was suddenly . . . well, excuse-less.
That’s a frightening position to be in, isn't it? We're exposed, with nothing to hide behind and no one else to blame. We're cornered by facts, trapped in truth. At such times, it seems to me we've got a couple of options. We can either deny reality, or we can accept it and move on.
Of course, moving on can mean a lot of different things. For me, it meant coming to terms with my lack of athleticism. It took a few years, but eventually I discovered that I could still enjoy sports without being a star athlete. I even discovered a few non-athletic things that I liked, and was pretty good at. The funny thing is, those things had nothing at all to do with my size. They had to do with what was inside of me -- in my heart and my soul. That's usually the case, I think.
Even for a freak of nature.
