Feeling A Little Bit Weary?

Skip through, and out the other side, of temporary phases of feeling low @forwardsteps https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/little-bit-weary/

Life Power Tip Focusing on regrets asks you to live in the past. You will never see the opportunities in front of you if you are looking back and reflecting on what is behind you. Do you usually drive your car with your eyes on the rear view mirror? Action Listen to an empowering, inspiring audio. Challenge Give more than is expected of you. Quote If you would be rich, you will be rich; if you would be good, you will be good; if you would be learned, you will be learned. But wish for one thing exclusively, and do not at the same time wish for a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly. -William James Clearing Get a tape dispenser for your desk; it saves a lot of fiddling time. Question To what in your life could you begin saying ‘no’ so that your ‘yes’ is accomplished? Affirmation I choose to be crystal clear about what I want to achieve. Uplifting Extra “To see your Self as not being accountable for your state of being is to live within a belief in external forces that have control over you. This can be manifest in such forms as a controlling person, governmental laws, or a lack of abundance; basically symbols of perceived limitation. This births the ability to blame. To blame is an attempt to hold this externalized aspect of your power responsible for your state of being, instead of being fully responsible for your Self. Re-assimilating this externalized power is a part of the journey to being All That You Are. To take back that power is to come to the realization that all power over your being is yours alone. It is to realize, within your Self, the absolute power of choice over your being. To experience your power of choice is to realize that you are the one that possesses the power to choose joy for your Self. When you realize joy as being a choice you will realize that all states, including suffering, must equally be a choice. Through this you will see that to take responsibility for your own suffering is to empower your Self to be able to choose joy. A part of the journey to joy is therefore to take ownership and responsibility for your own suffering. To do this release all sense of ’blaming others’. Understand that this will be a gradually unfolding process”.

One New Habit At A Time Will Get You There

Move toward your desired lifestyle one new habit at a time @forwardsteps https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/new-habit/

Life Power Tip Focus on your intentions and results. Often we create specific goals and then work hard at accomplishing these yet not truly knowing why we wanted them in the first place. This could find you at the other side of accomplishment with a feeling of dissatisfaction that you may not have anticipated. Create a larger vision and have clear, overall intentions connected to the specific goals that you design. Action Listen to a beautiful piece of music. Challenge Get into the discipline of planning your life and where you want it to go. Quote If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, you mustn’t seek to prove that no crows are; it is enough to prove one single crow to be white. -William James Clearing Get a headset for your desk phone. You will then have both hands free. Question To what extent do you live what you communicate? Affirmation I choose to have a clear vision of where I want to go. Uplifting Extra Self improvement and personal development is all about stretching yourself beyond current circumstances so that you have the ability to be fully expressed in your life and make a difference with others. I’m not at all sure if you might be in the situation where you need to solve a debt problem.

That information is more for those of you who are based in the USA (yet it still has some very good pointers, no matter where in the world you are). When you’re in a situation of dealing with issues that cause disharmony between you and your vision for your life, then you must deal with and clean up any of those personal blocks before you can move forward, with your personal power at full steam.

GN Nostriches ✨🌙💤 Just heard about this from a "Bitcoiner friend" who was nearby and whose other friend is helping with rescues. 🥲

The Salt Lake Tribune

Hiker dies after lightning strikes ‘Tin Shack’ on Mount Timpanogos

A 19-year-old hiker died and others were injured when lightning hit a small shelter on Mount Timpanogos on Friday morning.

After the third night the pigeon we rescued (after a cat attacked it), had wandered out of the hutch that I built around it. I love how it walked right over to my feet. 😮 It foraged for a bit of food. I've had food and water ready for it nearby for the past 3 days. I sprinkled some of it around the area he walked as well. Did a bit of an AI chat to check I was doing all the right things. 🧡 HERE IS THAT CHAT: 🕊️ Pigeon Recovery — Summary We are looking after an injured pigeon with a neck wound. What we've observed • The neck does not appear crooked or swollen. • There is a wound, but there is no obvious pus/discharge or active bleeding. • The pigeon is able to stand and move around independently. • It moves to a different place to sleep each night, suggesting it is still mobile and choosing where it feels comfortable. • Food and water are available to it. • We haven't clearly seen it eating. • It has potentially gone two nights and three days without us seeing it eat or drink. • However, the water level was lower today, and we topped it up. This suggests the pigeon may have been drinking, although evaporation or another animal could also account for some of the loss. What this likely means A pigeon that stops eating or drinking when injured is not generally considered to be deliberately trying to “suicide.”Injury, pain, stress, illness, or weakness can cause a bird to eat less or become less obvious about feeding. The fact that this pigeon is standing, walking around, changing sleeping locations, and apparently possibly drinkingis encouraging. What we're doing • Keeping fresh water available. • Keeping food available, preferably close to where the pigeon rests so it doesn't have to travel far. • Providing a quiet, sheltered area away from cats, dogs and excessive disturbance. • Giving the pigeon space rather than repeatedly handling it. • Not force-feeding or syringing water into its mouth, because this can cause aspiration and make things worse. 🩹 The wound For now, we should leave the wound alone. • Don't pick at it, peel anything off, squeeze it, or try to open or close it. • Don't apply creams, ointments, disinfectants, alcohol, peroxide, essential oils, or other household products to it. • Don't try to straighten, manipulate, or massage the neck. • Avoid unnecessary handling of the pigeon, as stress can be harmful to an injured bird. • Simply observe the wound and let it heal naturally unless a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian gives specific instructions. The fact that there is currently no active bleeding, pus/discharge, or obvious swelling is reassuring. What to watch for Seek help from a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian if: • The pigeon becomes unable to stand or move normally. • It becomes very weak or unresponsive. • It has difficulty breathing or swallowing. • The wound starts bleeding. • The wound becomes increasingly red, swollen, wet, foul-smelling, or develops pus/discharge. • We become confident that it has had no water for several days. • Its overall condition noticeably deteriorates. Water An adult pigeon may drink roughly 30–60 mL of water per day under ordinary conditions, although this varies with temperature, food, activity and health. An injured or dehydrated bird may need more. Because the water level was lower today, we can monitor it by putting a measured amount of fresh water into the dish and checking the level again around the same time tomorrow. This may help determine whether the pigeon is drinking when we're not watching. Overall At this point, the pigeon has several encouraging signs: it is mobile, standing, choosing its own resting places, has no obvious neck deformity or swelling, the wound isn't actively bleeding or producing discharge, and the water level has gone down. For now, the best approach is to provide easy access to food and clean water, leave the wound undisturbed, give the pigeon a quiet place to recover, and monitor for changes. If its condition worsens, or if we become certain it isn't drinking or is unable to eat, professional wildlife or veterinary help should be sought. You're welcome. ❤️ A few additional things are worth keeping in mind: • Predators: Cats, dogs, rats and even other birds can stress or injure it. If possible, give it a sheltered spot with some cover. • Heat and weather: Make sure it has shade and somewhere dry. Dehydration can happen much faster in hot weather. • Droppings: Keep an eye on them if you can. Regular droppings are a useful sign that food and water are going through its system. A sudden major reduction can be concerning. • Appetite: You don't necessarily need to see it eat. Look for disturbed food, seed husks, or droppings near the feeding area. • Avoid handling: Even if you want to check the wound, unnecessary catching and restraint can cause considerable stress. • Don't give medications: Don't give human painkillers, antibiotics, or other medicines unless a veterinarian specifically directs you to. • Neck movement: Pay attention to whether it can comfortably lower its head to drink/eat and raise it again. Difficulty doing so would be more concerning than simply eating when you're not watching. • Overall behavior matters: A pigeon that remains alert, stands, walks, changes resting places and reacts to its surroundings is generally more encouraging than one that becomes increasingly still or unresponsive. One particularly useful thing you could do tomorrow is measure the water you put out and check how much is left 24 hours later. That will give you a much better indication of whether it's actually drinking. And honestly, based on everything you've described so far, I wouldn't panic tonight. Keep things quiet, make food and water easy to reach, and let the little bird rest. 🕊️❤️ I'm glad. 😊🕊️ From everything you've described, there are several genuinely encouraging signs. You're giving the pigeon the most important things right now: safety, quiet, food, water, and space to recover. Hopefully tomorrow you'll find that the water has gone down a little more and the little fellow is still moving around. ❤️ You're doing a kind thing by looking after it.

Seven Steps to Oneness: Journey to a Whole New Life by Guy Finley

Life Power Tip Fulfilling your life’s purpose makes you happy and leaves you satisfied. As quoted by Patanjali, “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be”. Action List five movies that you have been meaning to watch and rent them to view. Challenge Get enough ‘real’ food to keep from being tempted to eat ‘fake’ food. Quote If you want to take the meaning of the word integrity and reduce it to its simplest terms, you’d conclude that a person of integrity is a promise keeper. When they gives you their word, you can take it to the bank. Their word is good. -Bill McCartney Clearing Gather together magazines, journals, periodicals, and catalogues.
