Happy Easter if you celebrate. Easter means different things to different people, but to me it’s a beautiful reminder of perspective and personal growth. The world is pretty cool when you look on it with a fresh pair of kind eyes. ☀️ 👀

Our world has been teetering on the edge of a blade for a very long time . . . I think that's why you're here—why you grew up the way you did. So you could see our world through different eyes. Help us find our way.

My art therapist is technically an intern still finishing their master's degree, and I love that about them because they are learning with me.

My job search assistant has been in their role for less than a year and might be younger than me, and I love that about them because they have a fresher/more current view of the employment process.

My physical therapist tells me exactly what I should do and when and how, and I love that about them because I do not want to horribly injure myself.

Archeology

Once in a while, my laptop will die on me for no apparent reason. I get all paranoid thinking that the cyber deities cast down bolts of lightning in the form of uninvited updates and sent them via optic fibers to kill my computer, and once in a while when it comes back from the dead, I head directly to my files and peruse over write-ups that have grown stale and vapid over time and find myself…

Embrace the New Month: A Fresh Start for Growth and Success

Shaina Tranquilino

September 1, 2023

"Every new month is like a fresh piece of paper waiting to be written upon; it's up to you how beautiful your story will be." - Unknown

As we bid farewell to one month and welcome another, there is an undeniable sense of freshness and possibility that permeates the air. The start of a new month brings with it a chance for reflection, renewal, and rejuvenation. It presents an opportunity to set new goals, make positive changes, and embark on a journey towards personal growth and success. In this blog post, we will explore why the beginning of a new month can be likened to a fresh start.

1. Reflection:

Just as the end of each day allows us to reflect upon our actions and experiences, so does the end of a month provide us with an occasion for introspection. Take some time at the close of the previous month to assess your achievements, challenges faced, lessons learned, and areas for improvement. Reflecting on the past helps us gain clarity about where we stand in our journey and what adjustments need to be made going forward.

2. Goal Setting:

Starting a new month gives us an excellent opportunity to set clear objectives for ourselves. By setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, we can create a roadmap for success in various aspects of our lives – whether it be personal development, career advancement, health and fitness targets or financial aspirations. Setting these goals not only provides direction but also fuels motivation by giving us something concrete to work towards.

3. Revisiting Priorities:

The start of a new month enables us to reassess our priorities. It allows us to realign our focus on what truly matters most in our lives – our relationships, health, self-care, personal growth – rather than getting caught up in trivial distractions or unproductive habits. By consciously evaluating and adjusting our priorities, we can ensure that our time and energy are dedicated to things that add value and fulfillment to our lives.

4. Cultivating Positive Habits:

The beginning of a new month is an ideal time to cultivate positive habits or break free from negative ones. Research suggests that it takes approximately 21 days to form a habit, so utilizing the fresh start of a new month gives us roughly four weeks to ingrain positive behaviors into our daily routines. Whether it's practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly, reading more, or spending quality time with loved ones, committing to these habits at the start of a month sets a solid foundation for long-term growth and well-being.

5. Embracing Change:

Change is an inevitable part of life, and each new month offers an opportunity to embrace change with open arms. It allows us to shed any baggage from the previous month and approach life with renewed enthusiasm. By embracing change and being adaptable, we can navigate unforeseen challenges more effectively and seize emerging opportunities with confidence.

Life gets better by change. The start of a new month symbolizes renewal, growth, and endless possibilities. By reflecting on the past, setting clear goals, reassessing priorities, cultivating positive habits, and embracing change, we can harness the power of each new month as a fresh start towards personal growth and success.

So let's welcome each new month with open hearts and minds - ready to write another chapter in the beautiful story of our lives.

When you run into someone who has a differing viewpoint on any given subject, it’s because they have had experiences that have led them to believe and feel a specific way. If you have had any experiences that are not of a similar viewpoint, then you will find a dissonance in perspective and perception. No one is right or wrong according to the “block universe” theory due to “Einstein’s theory of simultaneity”. And as you live life you will no doubt not agree with everyone who hasn’t experienced what you have in the way that you have experienced it, because to you, it was (or is) real.

Feeling secure is an integral part of being comfortable being human. And what we choose to believe is due to how it affects us, and “makes” us feel. And when our beliefs are challenged by other people who have not experienced life in the way we have it can throw us off balance, and we can feel threatened.

Love, creates the bridge to understanding and acceptance of all viewpoints regardless of if they match ours or not. It’s a way to believe in the world view as opposed to some force or other belief that may threaten our existence. The energy of love is, in itself, a secure state of existence. And when you feel mostly consistently good, it’s hard to feel threatened by another person’s pov or actions.

I looked up the definition of “secure”. It’s amazing how it can be taken with a few different meanings. One is a more fear based approach, “tight, closed, etc” and the other is more open to inclusion of other ideas, “connect, link, join…”

Our loving energy creates the link to join into the whole of who we are as not only a society but as a universal force. I can create love, and link into a feeling I can never fathom by myself from my own “secure” perception. Cool. 🤷‍♀️🤣😉

How to create a peaceful workspace

Introduction

We’ve all experienced it at some point: the feeling of being unproductive and overwhelmed in a chaotic workspace. From a messy desk full of papers and scattered pens to a cluttered corner of our bedroom, a disorganized workspace can have a huge impact on our productivity, efficiency, and overall mental health.

To help you create a peaceful workspace, we’ve rounded up some helpful tips on how to get started. Read on to learn how to create a tranquil and organized workspace that will help you get more out of your day.

Declutter

The first step towards creating a peaceful workspace is to declutter. Get rid of any objects that you don’t need or use, and that are just taking up valuable space. This includes papers, books, and old magazines. Make sure to separate the items you want to keep from those that are ready to be recycled or thrown away.

Another way to declutter your workspace is to organize it. This way, you’ll be able to quickly find the items you need and put them away when you’re done with them. Consider investing in storage solutions such as desk organizers and filing cabinets. This will help keep your workspace neat and tidy.

Find the Right Light

Lighting plays an important role in creating a peaceful workspace. Natural light is the best option, so try to find a spot near a window or balcony. If you don’t have access to natural light, make sure to invest in good quality lighting that is not too harsh or too dim. Consider getting lamps that can be adjusted to different levels of brightness.

Choose the Right Colors

The colors of your workspace can also have a huge impact on your productivity and mental health. Choose colors that are calming and uplifting, such as pastels and muted shades. You can also use artwork and decorations to add a splash of color to your workspace.

Bring Nature Inside

Adding a touch of nature to your workspace can help create a peaceful and calming environment. Consider placing a few indoor plants around your workspace or adding a decorative vase with fresh flowers. This will add a touch of greenery and make your workspace more inviting.

Add Personal Touches

Your workspace should also be a reflection of who you are and what you love. Adding personal touches such as photos, artwork, or knick-knacks can make your workspace more personal and inviting. This will help you feel more relaxed and inspired while working.

Take Breaks

Taking breaks throughout the day is essential for staying productive and reducing stress. Even if it’s just for a few minutes, taking a break from your work can help clear your mind and give you a fresh perspective. Consider going for a walk, listening to music, or reading a book during your break.

Final Thoughts

Creating a peaceful workspace can help you be more productive and less stressed. Start by decluttering, organizing, and choosing the right lighting and colors. Don’t forget to add personal touches and take regular breaks throughout the day. With these tips, you’ll be able to create a tranquil workspace that will help you make the most out of your day.
