October: Habits - Journaling
"O God, early in the morning I cry to you.
Help me to pray and gather my thoughts to you, I cannot do it alone.
In me it is dark, but with you there is light;
I am lonely, but you do not desert me;
My courage fails me, but with you there is help;
I am restless, but with you there is peace;
in me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience;
I do not understand your ways, but you know the way for me.
Father in Heaven praise and thanks be to you for the night’s rest,
Praise and thanks be to you for the new day.
Praise and thanks be to you for all your loving-kindness and faithfulness in my past life.
You have shown me so much goodness; let me also accept what is hard to bear from your hand.
You will not lay a heavier burden on me than I can carry.
You make all things serve for the best for your children.
Lord, whatever this day brings, your name be praised."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, [A prayer written in Tegel prison, Berlin]
INSPIRATION:
I started journaling while in college as an assignment that at the time I thought was pretty stupid, today I realize that it was what gave me my voice and my career. I love writing and just recently found a fabulous way that has really enhanced my time. I turn on a song (I use YouTube and I pick one of those relaxing melodies that last about 10 minutes) I then close my eyes and type. I usually have a question or something rattling around in my mind and I just ramble for 10 minutes. I call this my” journey to my soul” time. It is great as it allows me not to think on my conscious level but to allow my subconscious to speak through. Journaling has become my friend and confidante that has allowed me the freedom to express myself with no holds barred and freed me from hanging on to things that otherwise would have eaten away at me.
ACTION:
Make time 5 minutes a day.
Turn on some soft music.
Then just write – don’t worry about grammar, punctuation or content.

Life-changing Choices WOW - 10/18
October: Habits
QUOTE:
"Habit is a cable; we weave a thread each day, and at last we cannot break it."
Horace Mann
INSPIRATION:
Sad but true – each day we either make habits that are productive and make our lives a joy or we allow destructive habits control our lives which bring us pain and sadness in the long term. I watched several friends die of lung cancer but during their lifetime would not give up smoking. They had woven a cable that they found they could not break. The irony was towards the end they all did give up smoking but by then it was too late.
ACTION:
So what habits do you have right now in your life that you are weaving?
Many of our habits start off with small choices that done consistently over time soon control them.
Today look at the choices you are making and ask yourself if I continue to do this every day what will be the end result – what habit am I forming in my life.
Is it a habit I want to have the rest of my life?
Is this a habit that will bring me joy or sadness if I keep it?

October: Habits
QUOTE:
"Habit and routine have an unbelievable power to waste and destroy."
Henri de Lubac, Paradoxes
INSPIRATION:
I think the reason I am attracted to this quote is that many fail to recognize the power that is attached to habit and routine. It can waste and destroy or it can be an asset and build it all depends on the habit and routine. There are three things you can do with your time, they are: invest it, spend it and waste it. When our routines/habits are non-productive or even destructive we waste our most precious gift – time. When we invest our time in good habits and routines the rewards are great. When we spend our time on habits that bring no rewards but immediate pleasures we have temporary gain but no long-term rewards. So again it always comes back to choice.
ACTION:
I would like you to take a sheet of paper and write out 3 columns – invest – spend and waste. Then take your habits and routines and categorize them into these three columns.
How are you feeling about what you are seeing? Which column seems to dominate your life?
Are you happy with that? Any changes needed?
Just remember time is the only commodity you can’t get any more of once you have used it up.
The good thing is you can change going forward. Pick one that needs to be replaced. If you need help contact us at www.crossingyourbridge.net and one of our counselors will work with you.

Creating Financial Prosperity on a Spirit-based Foundation
Creating Financial Prosperity on a Spirit-based Foundation
Do you get excited about what you are able to do each day? Do you make choices in your day based on your passions and living them fully?
Are you overwhelmed and wondering why you can’t seem to get excited about anything?
For myself, I’m always interested in looking for a more joy-filled, flowing, and heart-centered way to take charge of what I do in both my life and my business. That’s why I was intrigued by Katana Abbott and Marilyn Schwader’s new teleseminar on Thursday, October 14th, called “Awakening Your Purpose, Passion, and Prosperity”.
Katana built a million-dollar business as a Certified Financial Planner and now helps women in transition create and grow wealth by following their purpose and passion. Marilyn is Shamanic Practitioner who blends working with the knowledge of energy and the tool of writing to inspire her clients to create and market their transformational ideas.
Katana and Marilyn have combined their talents to help shine a light on building financial freedom on a foundation of spirit-based principles.
Check it out for yourself. These women bring a new perspective to spiritual wealth-building.

Life-changing Choices WOW - 10/4
October: Habits
QUOTE:
"We first make our habits, and then our habits make us."
John Dryden
INSPIRATION:
It is said that it takes 21 days in a row to make a habit. Yet I see individuals take a lifetime to break a habit once it is part of their life. I think for many our habits are formed unconsciously and then when we realize it has already taken hold of us. For some us we have good habits that we are grateful for but there are times when we have some that has forged a chain around us and we seem helpless to change. I see people every day struggle with habits that are destructive yet they feel powerless to change.
ACTION:
I think the first step regarding a habit is to recognize it in our life.
Is it a good habit that I want to keep?
Is it a bad habit that needs to be replaced?
I always say bad habits need to be replaced not lost as our mind when we say “lost” has a tendency to want to find it again. That’s why losing weight never works but eliminating now that says it’s gone. So if we replace a bad habit with a good one then there is no place for the old one to come back. If you just try to get rid of a bad habit it creates a vacuum in our life and as nature abhors a vacuum it is only a matter of time before the habit comes back.
