Create Your Favorite Self
Cynthia
 Cynthia Sue Larson"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." |
This month has been extraordinary for me in many ways, not the least of which involves seeing myself and everyone in my life in a completely new light. Part of this reviewing is a recreation of how I see myself... in how I newly comprehend that I am indeed creating myselt to be who I am. Rather than see myself as not being good at something, I consider myself a beginner who is excited to learn new thikngs. Such an approach to life has benefits beyond the obvious one of considering oneself capable of change... it establishes a sense of confidence that we can change in desired ways.
Lots of things I've done seemed unattainable to me before I did them, such as receiving my physics degree from UC Berkeley, getting a black belt after age 40, designing and finishing a full size quilt, composing and performing a song about Karen Kimball, writing the books I have written, and doing the special kind of spiritual life coaching I do. Each time I try something new, I am essentially creating a new me... a new version of myself which is not necessarily based on what people expect from me, nor based on who I have been before, but is instead a brand new me that I am envisioning even as I create it.

Can you envision yourself looking and feeling healthier, happier, and more fulfilled? What kinds of classes would you take or books would you read in order to start learning about making some of these changes? Just by giving these questions some serious thought right now, you are now initiating the process of positive self recreation. The word recreation is particularly apt here, as you can have a lot of fun when you take yourself from where you are to where you would like to be!
Could you use some positive encouragement on your recreation journey? Please stay in touch with me on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. If you are new to social networking, Facebook and Twitter are web sites that help us stay in touch even across great distances. You can share photos and make posts at both Facebook and Twitter. YouTube is a video sharing web site, where you can subscribe to the types of videos you like to view. I began posting short summaries of the May, June, and July RealityShifters ezines and even a song about Karen Kimball, and plan to keep posting new videos every month.
Wishing you may discover just how good your life can be and has been,
