DEEP: Body Love's Theme Shadow Muse

Welcome to this blog which continues with the theme of Shadow Muse featured in Phinspiration Newsletter:November 2014 Shadow Muse

Shadow through the Eyes of a Child.

When I think of a shadow through the eyes of a child, I think of being a bit scared.

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child, I see playing with the shadow like Peter Pan or trying to step on the shadow.

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child, I imagine that monsters and nasty things live in them.

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child I am curious as to where it came from.

When I think of a shadow through the eyes of a child I believe that the shadow must be an entity of its own: a creature, a thing that has its own mind and is playing with me or running away from me. 

When I think of shadow through the eyes of a child I may want to play with it.

What comes to mind when you think of a shadow through the eyes of a child?

DEEP: Body Love's Theme Reframe Mistakes, Practice!

Welcome to blog 2 which continues with the theme of mistakes and practice as featured in August's newsletter: Reframing Mistakes August 2014 and Blog 1 - DEEP Body Love's Theme: Reframing Mistakes

Think of something you do easily…walk, drive, swim, ride a bike.

Just think back to where it all started.  Can you remember all the mistakes that were made? What about when a child first learns to walk or feed herself? 

In all of these aspects there would have been falls, bumps, giggles, laughter and practice, practice, practice a sense of achievement and accomplishment.  If we were kind to ourselves, we may have enjoyed the processes too!

The next time you make a mistake, pause, breathe and ask these questions?:

- How can this serve me? 

- Can I use it to develop, create? 

- Am I overwhelmed and need time out? 

- Can it help  me to do something differently to improve, change something? 

- Is it just a mistake, worth a giggle, and ready to let it go?

Pick a recent "mistake" and ask yourself one of these questions. And then reply with your answer.  I'd love to see what you come up with!

Enjoy
