LIR 8415 Weekly - No Rune

No Rune, as you probably remember, means there is no new advise from the Universe (or from ourselves) about what's cookin' this week.

The good news is, we've got this. One step at a time, practicing our tools, doing our thing, and being the best we can be.

The difficult news is, we've got this. One step at a time. Practice those tools. Do YOUR thing. Be the best you can be in each moment.

I wouldn't call it two sides to the sword; I would say it's 2 parts of a whole. The calm acceptance we give to drama and transition; the breathing and practicing we use to get us through the challenges - these tools are the same tools to use in times of boredom, ennui, and the plain old "I don' wanna!".

Our goals have not changed. The zing may have retreated, because now things are no longer new and exciting. In fact, some things may even be dull now. They might be (say it softly) chores. And when we feel like we're getting trapped and bogged down by chores, or frustrated and rushing through, it's time to go back to our tools.

Breathe. Step back. One thing at a time, even though the computer feels slower than EVER. Be in this moment. Live the truth of the moment. Be your best in this moment.

And then, move on to the next.

The affirmation is: "Every day, in every way, I am better and better and better." We don't just want to be awesome tomorrow at the really cool stuff. But Every Day. In Every possible way.

At least I do.

*******************

In the first draft of this post, I had a long bit about how drudging it felt, to practice things I consider chores, or am reluctant to do, for whatever reason (some of which I am not consciously aware.) Which in and of itself is illuminating to me. 

But then I edited the post to make it more relevant to the reading instead of my personal practice; and in searching for the source of the affirmation, I found something new and astonishing.

According to Wikipedia and Brain Quotes, this affirmation, "Every day in every way I am better and better and better," came not from a 1970's leadership speaker, but from a 1900's French psychologist, Emile Coue (there are accents in there, but I'm too jazzed to figure out how to use them.)

Just by doing things in my best possible fashion, following my truths (I must give credit where it's due; & I rarely remember names), I found something new. Something to explore. Yay!

So, yeah. Step by step. Every day. Whether washing the dishes, or writing a book. It's even relevant in divination readings. Find my tools, and work step by step.

It's the fastest way to happiness.

I hope you have a great day!
