The 5-5-5-5 Plan
I have a great game I play with myself. I do things
in fives. I go into the kitchen and do five things that need doing. I go to my
desk and file 5 items. I do five things on my to do list. My game gives me such
a quick reward. Visit the comprehensive five plan on my web page. Click here The 5-5-5-5 Plan
Choose Your Word
Where is peace? It is everywhere. Most of us believe
that life is a problem and we use the news or some misfortune, to prove our
points. Where ever we point our minds,
our thoughts follow. If we want peace, then we must point our minds peaceward. There
are so many words to consider and words can be so powerful.
When I was younger, I never understood the hoopla
about the word "gratitude." I found it distasteful to be in a group that
demanded a personal recitation of gratitude. We would be in a circle and someone would have
the great idea to go around and have a gratitudefest. One day I was daydreaming
and this amazing feeling of grace and gratefulness welled within. It was as if
the word gratitude came alive in me. It was not just a feeling; I was it. At
last, I got the word gratitude and its meaning was alive in me. I still don't like
gratitude on demand, but I know that many people find such activities
empowering. That's why there just can't be one way to peace, because we travel
different roads.
On the road we travel, there are many signs. Words
are signs. The word itself is not the
direct experience of what the word means to convey. It is just a pointer to something
that cannot be expressed in words, but we use words none-the-less. When I felt
this amazing essence, the word gratitude alone was inadequate to express this
expansive all-consuming experience. My experience brought me
to the understanding that words are filled with energy.
Words are living presences in themselves.
I have several words I love. I think my favorite word
is fortunate, even though I also love
the word lucky. Fortunate is my formal word and lucky is my nickname word. Maybe
you would like to find your word. Choose a word, the best word you can think of
- a word you love, one word. Work
with that one word for 7 consecutive days.
You might offer a thought such as "Teach me your knowledge,
true essence and wisdom." At the beginning of the
day write down what you think the word means,
then look up the word in the dictionary. Does the meaning expand or change for you?
Rewrite your definition, if it has altered. Think of this word
when you wake up. Take five minutes at the start of each day to repeat the word
silently and contemplate it. Next, begin your day with this or a similar
affirmation. "I go into this day with
the thought of (fill in using your word). I mobilize the idea of (word for
today) in my life." Take your word
into your day remembering and speaking it mentally as frequently as possible.
Become the embodiment of its essence. Keep a word journal and
record your daily insights. At
the end of the day write down your understanding of the day and as you drift
off to sleep, repeat your word.
After your seven day
word bath, see how you feel about this word. Is it your word? If so, keep it,
but if you would like another word, just repeat the process. You can even have
several words. This is an experiment. There is no right or wrong way to do
this. It's just having fun with creating meaning in your life. In our hustle and
bustle world and our blaring forms of entertainment, maybe it's time we try
something more introspective. Act now and join the relaxation word celebration exercise!
