Leadership By Modeling Composure and Kindness
When we embody our values of kindness and respect, we show others the behavior we want without preaching about it. Others can feel it and emulate with dignity and enthusiasm. Ernest Holmes stated this:
New Habits, More Personal Power
What a bold step we can make when we awaken to what new thoughts we can think, what more we can do for ourselves!
Trust the Healed Self
We want to remain vigilant on our past habit of thought. We review that we don’t want to do that “abd” thing again. Except that means we are focusing on what we do NOT want more than on wanted.
At some point after years of practice, what if we lean more heavily on assuming we are ok to trust ourselves. We have invested in a “new ME,” in gaining confidence and in reliably aligning with Forces of Good.
Soothing Ourselves Now
Those of us following a path of self-mastery will experience fear and related emotions as we proceed. Recognizing only the power of Source Energy, we want to give no power to fear. We all grew up in a culture abundant with others feeling fear and we humans will need to practice continually in the honoring of the One Power.
Therefore, our growth involves noticing and recognizing old hurts and fear. Return to the One again and again, we know this is the process required, and we accept it. We do experience uncomfortable feelings, make them ok, and then we release them.
Appreciation and Miracles
We all want to feel good. Creating more feeling uplifted we reach to appreciate what we experience now. We notice the quality of sky, we see the trees showing buds, we bask in the sunshine after weeks of rain.
In appreciating we build new neural pathways in our brain. The more pathways, the easier it is to look for and find what we enjoy. We stoke the engine of positive vibrations. This welcomes events that seem miraculous.
Mind on Good
We can live our lives noticing what is going well. This practice includes observing the wonders of “everyday” phenomenon: the beauty of the trees without leaves, the raindrops on branches, the crisp chill of the air. The wonders of how our body moves and heals. So much.
And letting go of annoyances, grievances, stumbling blocks and stubbing our toe.
Grateful for the Guiding Lights
We feel much gratitude for those who guided us and contributed abundantly to our lives. Living in the Stream of Yes, we devote ourselves to seeing the Good. With relish, we appreciate these wonderful people. This helps us fuel feeling Good today.
On the Path of Self Mastery
Have you ever gotten annoyed with a friend?
We might notice the upset and be tempted to rail against that person’s behavior, perhaps struggle, argue, fight back. Instead, we could pause and allow what we feel to be, make what happened ok. Go further, we can admit this is an opportunity to grow.
Calming Self in Frustration
t times our compatriots may reject our leadership and follow their own plans. For us this can feels frustrating! We may want them to show a different attitude or behavior, to forgive us or affirm our We recognize our strong feelings. A personal power moment: We notice our uncomfortable mood. We know we can do something about it.innocence .
The Power of a Good Mood
When we feel less than good, we may perceive situations, people without the clarity we need. When feeling lower than preferred, let’s reach for better feeling.
As we begin this action, we will (must) acknowledge the “momentum” of that lower mood. What does this mean?
