Simply giving someone the opportunity and space to express sadness can make the sadness go away. Incredible that we have the power to cure others just by listening lovingly.

Moving this to the TOP, as this is the Foundation.

Join me daily and create your own G.I.F.T.

Don’t just read it.

Live it.

The G.I.F.T. Today

Grateful: to have a growing awareness of realizing that all that is inside me manifests outside me. Always everywhere.

Intention-stay aware of your own presence tools internally and document them

First-exercise schedule today

Things-change of clothes for breakfast


HOMEWORK!-What we need to do TODAY is reach out to 2 Close Friends that we KNOW don’t talk about their feelings as much as they should. More here:

Morning Meditation from The GratiDude

If you look around at your fellow hairless monkeys, aka Humans, you will encounter some extraordinary people.  That is one of the cool things about technology in the palm of your hand, is that you don’t even need to leave the house for emotional uplifting and inspiration, and you never have to look too far.

The whole key to what this wonderful kind loving person is doing in this video is the blindfold.

By making his invitation so clearly open to everyone and everyone, regardless of their physical appearance, it makes even the saddest person feel like it could be a sign directed at them.

By opening his own heart and being vulnerable he is providing an opportunity for folks to heal and integrate their own personal experiences and trauma.

Not all of us have the gumption, the courage/the time/the emotional wherewithal to do something like this.   

However, we can in our own way do something just like this with the people closest to us in our lives.

It starts by asking questions and letting conversations flow organically.

Questions that I know were never taught to me, and that I’m only learning about more recently like:

How did that experience that you shared with me make you feel?  

What were some of the emotions you felt during that experience as well as some of the emotions that you felt as you thought about that experience afterwards?

Reassuring your Friend or Family member that they are Loved and they are Enough.

Perfect right where they are.

There are no “Wrong emotions” that can be experienced, and the only wrong thing you could ever do is not talk about your feelings and share your emotions with the people that you love and trust.

You gotta let it out that’s a big part of this message from this brilliant man with the blindfold.

And YOU don’t have to wear a blindfold, and instead you can look lovingly in the eyes of your loved ones. 

What we need to do is reach out to 2 Close Friends that we KNOW don’t talk about their feelings as much as they should.

If you are a man reading this, you have 20 friends that you could reach out to that would fall into the classification of not expressing their feelings as much as they should from a health and emotional wellness standpoint.

I know who the two people are that I’m reaching out to all I’m gonna say is this:

“I love you unconditionally and I am here for You.  

If at any time there is anything that you would like to share with me about how you’re doing and what you’re feeling or going through currently in your life, I would love that opportunity.  

 I will always make it a priority to be available for you”.

This is a powerful message of love and support.

And……It costs you NOTHING!!!

Who are your 2 Peeps that need a pressure release?

Some Sisters that have been through it career and familywise lately and need some love.

A Good Brother that just put down his 12-year-old Chocolate Lab and has all sorts of emotions being stirred up because of the loss of his Puppy. 

Other losses and traumas get activated and brought to the surface if they have not yet been “integrated” or talked about and processed.

The Older Man down the street who lost his wife a year ago and could use some kind company and conversation.

These people are everywhere because pain and suffering are a part of the human experience but so is love, kindness, compassion, and support.

We can’t control all the pain and suffering that goes on in our family and amongst our friends and in our community, but we absolutely can control our attitude and our approach with how we find creative and simple ways to contribute to helping in even the smallest way possible.

Just thinking the thoughts of wanting to help and applying your creative energy is helpful, both energetically, and a step in the direction of how real solutions come to life.

I don’t need a blindfold to hug you, but I do need to see you so please come visit Florida when the weather is nice here this winter and make sure that we get a chance to give each other a big squeeze and complement each other on our attitudes of gratitude.

EVERY DAY:

Love

and

Gratitude
