Sloganizing....
Permalink  

 

Practice, Practice, Practice...I wasn't standing still I was going crazy!!  I wasn't doing anything and that was the problem I was just doing crazy or rather letting crazy do me.  It happens and finally I got soooo sick and tired of being sick and tired I just went with sloganizing...thinking, feeling, acting and being motivated by repetitious slogans.  When my head was focusing on "THEM" I repeated head and heart "live and let live" and "Let go and Let God".  When my head started tripping on fears and worries I went with "Easy Does it", "Turn it over" and "Let go and Let God",  When I was stuck with how long is this gonna go on; I went to "This too will pass!!" and "Let go and Let God".  When I was feeling really anxious my elder sponsor dropped by in spirit and responded "Don't React".  When my craziness was free wheeling out of control I repeated "Think!!" and I made myself responsible for what was going on in my head rather than letting my head and emotions have control. 

When everything fell into quiet sync I expressed gratitude..."Mahalo Akua"..."Thank you God"  and  of course  "Mahalo Al-Anon". 

I also keep remembering a lesson an Alateen gave me years ago just at the right time..."Don't you know Jerry F, she said,  Happiness is an   inside  job".  It certainly is and sloganizing certainly helps that to happen.

Thanks for letting me share.   (((((hugs))))) smile

Hugs Jerry, :)

I've been really working with those slogans lately and the serenity prayer is a must every single day and many different situations. I'm grateful for the slogans because you are so right they do put things into perspective!! How Important Is It is one I use on the kids every single day .. lol.

Hugs P :)

Thanks for the reminder of all of the gold that are in those little slogans!!

Thanks Jerry. I needed to hear this today as my mind has been all over the place. I'm going to write these down and keep saying them when I need to reset my thoughts.
