Hype

New Years Eve! I almost bought into the mass hysteria of the last day of the year crap! So instead I went out, so mild today and just poked around here and there, switched myself into easy mode. No panic cleaning, no craze to complete stuff. I did little to nothing, it was great! Whole bunch of nothing! Momma’s voice played a bit, “ clean house on New Years, clean house all year.” I’m replacing the voices. The house is clean because I clean it, and if I don’t, a little grunge never killed anyone!

We need some of the auto voices, ones that allow us to react rationally. Getting into panic mode because of the voices, that’s when you have to push mute. Or as my dad used to say, “Delete, delete!” That makes me laugh. Auto voices can also keep us safe, reminding us that we could be in danger and keeping our Spidey senses sharp! Staying on alert and overplaying possible scenarios, that is a hard No. I have enough trouble replaying my day at 2 am instead of sleeping! When you are on vacay, at least lost sleep can be regained, by sleeping in. This is something I have achieved and I couldn’t be happier!

If my inner voice isn’t a cheerleader that is going to encourage me, well then it can stay silent. Should be the same for the people in your life, no one wants to scrub off the daily negativity that can accumulate in a day. This might be a time to check in with yourself and make sure you are not that day wrecker of those around you! Have a great New Year folks! Aim high and love, always love.
