The Statue of Liberty…
“Lady Liberty”…
an inspiring symbol for me….
of
strength, determinations, freedom, potential, possibilities….
boldly….. “lighting the way”  … “leading me along…”
toward a greater sense…. an expanding sense…. of living life more fully…
“dancing”
“dance with me!”
“well being”
“resilience”

Keeping track…

….encouraging ourselves….
…accessing, using, noticing, acknowledging, appreciating what I’m doing…
…accessing, using, noticing, acknowledging, appreciating what we’re doing…

initiating activities in which we might be “being proactive” throughout a day,
using this sequence as we’re engaging in activities,

reflecting…..at the end of a day,
reflecting upon….what we actually did that may have been  “proactive,”
appreciating whatever we’re doing….or whatever we may have done…
(even if it’s only “teeny-tiny”)

Tying in with these ideas,
I’m reading a really interesting book:  “Curious?” by Todd Kashan
Through reading and exploring ideas in Kashan’s  book,
I’m realizing
that I might be able to activate my own abundant sense of “curiosity” …
as an energizer to get going…to become more proactive…

hmmm…???…asking myself some “open-ended” questions…

“hmmmmm???……. I wonder if…………???”
“hmmmmmm…. I wonder how……???”
“hmmmm…. I wonder what……???”
“hmmmm…. I wonder why……???”
“hmmmmmm………?????”
….room to play….with…. wondering….
“hmmmmmm……??????????”

~

“hmmmmm….???……. I wonder……..???”

Using any of these ideas…
….initiating, noticing, recognizing, acknowledging, appreciating….
…. becoming more curious, wondering,  getting going, exploring, pursuing…
any little actions = becoming more proactive  = One Gutsy Thing
……simply…..
