Usually you hear about your crown chakra. I, on the other hand, prefer focusing on the humorous side of the brain. So just enjoy this WordToon and bring in the clowns every chance you get.
Category: Phrases
More than one word in a WordToon is a creative category all on its own.
Tangle
Here’s one of those made up words emerging, the “o” ending to tango to “le.” Care to dance?
Oughtism
Living life by “shoulds” and “oughts” can be a heavy daily burden. If you’re living with many oughts, maybe you’d like to say to yourself, “I will not should on myself.” This can help lighten your load so can you roll with the changes that inevitably come into your life. Exercise your flexibility.
Quiet Time
This is vitally important time for the ME in You. It’s Time that gets crowded out in daily life by the “haftas” and “musts” that demand everything from us. It’s our time that is easily forgotten. Remember it NOW. Give it to yourself on a regular basis. Discover that part of you that is crying out for attention. It’s vital for personal peace and growth.
What You Give–>Become
Here I encourage you to study the message carefully. Notice, as the letters read from left to right, they change from smile to grumpy. This says that, as you give in a positive way, you become a positive giver. On the other hand, if you give grudging, well . . .
Be Grateful
Being aware of the things, events, persons in your life heightens your awareness of the positive parts of your daily life. Practicing gratitude every day, using every opportunity, summons your awareness. You may be surprised about how much that is positive in your daily life.
I AM
Here is a wonderful mantra to practice daily. Simply repeat this phrase as you go about your work. Each time you day this to yourself, add a positive like good (I AM good), getting better, feeling good, healthy, happy, fun. But watch out. Be sure no negatives slip in. This mantra is designed to counter any negative messages you might say to yourself. You can stay with the positive in your daily life.
You can make a copy of I AM. Just click on the black WordToon title to get the toon on its own page. Then go to the File menu and down to the Print command and click. Cut out the print and put it up to remind you.
Tea Pot
A little imagination shapes these letters into what they’re talking about. Smell the Darjeeling?
Junk Food
We hear much about this commodity swelling the center aisles of our grocery stores. There are lots of manufactured tastes to create a desire for the “munchies” every day. This stuff is causing unusual problems in our bodies. Time to cut down? “Oh, but I’ll have just one more!”
No Time
Because of the pressures on us each day. You can feel depleted. Where is the YOU of you? The American social commentator, Joseph Campbell, writing in the 1970s, had this to say about a personal, what he called sacred, space. He reflected on the pressures of modern life.
“This is an absolute necessity for anybody today. You must have a room, a certain hour of the day where you don’t know what’s in the news, who your friends are, what you owe anybody. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. A place of creative incubation. At first you might find that nothing happens. But if you have your sacred space and use it, something will eventually happen. You have to try it to find out.
In your sacred space you get to know the “thou” feeling.”
