The Wisdom of Charlie Chaplin

August 30, 2019Sara Troy 2 Comments

This is Charlie Chaplin at age 26, photographed 100 years ago. It’s believed he wrote the poem below at age 70.

As I began to love myself
I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is Authenticity.

As I began to love myself
I understood how much it can offend somebody
if I try to force my desires on this person,
even though I knew the time was not right
and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I call this Respect.

As I began to love myself
I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything
that surrounded me
was inviting me to grow.
Today I call this Maturity.

As I began to love myself
I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time,
and everything happens at the exactly right moment.
So I could be calm.
Today I call this Self-Confidence.

As I began to love myself
I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness,
things I love to do and that make my heart cheer,
and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.
Today I call this Simplicity.

As I began to love myself
I freed myself of anything
that is no good for my health –
food, people, things, situations,
and everything that drew me down
and away from myself.
At first, I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is Love of Oneself.

As I began to love myself
I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since
I was wrong less of the time.
Today I discovered that is Modesty.

As I began to love myself
I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future.
Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening.
Today I live each day,
day by day,
and I call it Fulfillment

We no longer need to fear arguments,
confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others.
Even stars collide,
and out of their crashing, new worlds are born.
Today I know: This is Life!

Life is a journey a process and we only really discover our selves when we are willing to go through it and grow because of it. These are wise words from Charlie and we learn from and we learn to find love of self because through this process called life we truly understand its meaning.

RW19-35 Self-care during stressful times with Dr Kiti

Taking Care of Ourselves During Life’s Transitions

By Dr. Kiti Adderly, Recovering the WHOLE of You

Life’s transitions, whether they are returning to school, starting a new job, or stepping into a new phase of life, can indeed be overwhelming. But they also present us with unique opportunities to rediscover and nurture our inner selves. Here are some tips to make these transitions smoother and more fulfilling:

Acknowledge Your Feelings: It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, scared, excited, or unsure. Allow yourself to experience these emotions without judgment. Recognizing and naming your feelings can be the first step in managing them.
Establish a Routine: While spontaneity has its merits, a consistent routine can provide comfort during times of change. Starting and ending your day with a few moments of mindfulness can anchor your thoughts and emotions.
Practice Self-care: Find activities that relax and rejuvenate you. This could be reading, taking a bath, meditating, or even going for a walk. Setting aside time for these activities ensures you’re in the best mental space to tackle challenges.
Stay Connected: Reaching out to friends, family, or support groups can provide invaluable emotional support. Sharing your feelings and experiences with trusted individuals can lessen the burden of transition.
Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that there might be a learning curve or adjustment period during any transition. Allow yourself the space to make mistakes and learn from them.
Limit Exposure to Stressors: While you might not be able to eliminate every source of stress, being conscious about reducing exposure can be beneficial. This might mean cutting down on news consumption, taking breaks from social media, or even setting boundaries with demanding individuals.
Educate Yourself: If you’re stepping into a new phase, gather as much information as you can. The more knowledgeable you are about a situation, the more empowered and confident you’ll feel.
Stay Physically Active: Exercise can be a wonderful stress reliever. It not only boosts your mood through endorphin release but also helps in keeping your body fit and active.
Seek Professional Help if Needed: If feelings of overwhelm persist or lead to prolonged periods of sadness or anxiety, consider seeking the assistance of a therapist or counselor. They can provide coping strategies tailored to your specific needs.
Practice Gratitude: Focusing on what you’re grateful for can shift your perspective from what’s lacking or challenging to what’s abundant and positive in your life.

Remember, it’s okay to ask for help when you need it. Transitions are a natural part of life, and with the right tools and mindset, they can be a source of immense personal growth and opportunity. Dr. Kiti Adderly emphasizes the importance of holistic well-being, and these tips can be the stepping stones towards a healthier and happier you, even during periods of change.

19-35 Pearls of Wisdom Listening to Hear.

August 26, 2019March 4, 2020Sara Troy

Is listening hearing? Do we really take in what we listen too? Are we hearing the message, or are we just glazing over and only hearing what we want to hear?
We speak and we respond, that is called a conversation, but do we speak to truly hear? Is listening hearing or is it something different?

Listening, to take note, attend, heed.

Hearing, inquiry, investigate, examine.

We say we listen, that we are paying attention, but are we just listening to reply?

Hearing requires a different thought process, like what are you listening to and what does it mean.

As a host, I am listening to respond as we are a conversation podcast network, but when we really hear, we can then ask questions which allows for a deeper understanding of what we are listening to.

With so much noise everywhere today, are you hearing what matters? are you listening between the lines? It is time we learned to listen to hear so our response is one of collaboration and or inquiry.

We all want to be heard to be listen to, please take the time to truly hear what it is others are really saying and think before you respond in the inquiry so they will not be a knee jerk response.

MisUnderstanding Dementia

Dementia is not a disease in itself. Rather, it is a broad name referring to a long-term and gradual deterioration of a person’s mental ability.

The condition can be severe enough to obstruct the sufferer’s daily life.

Dementia occurs when the brain cells stop working as they should, affecting the person’s ability to think, remember, and communicate. Its usual symptoms include difficulty of reasoning and thinking, gradual memory loss, and deteriorating communication skills.

The most common type of dementia is caused by Alzheimer’s, which accounts for 60 – 80% of the cases.
