YOUR LIFE A-Z: CARE

CARE TAKES MANY FORMS

CARE

What does it mean to CARE?  CARE is a powerful and mobilizing word and when we focus on the true meaning of the word it is possible to really CARE about our individual wellbeing guilt free.  The noun CARE means to make provisions for health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone or something by paying serious attention and consideration so as not to damage but to help.  The verb CARE means to pay attention or attach importance to something.  What do you CARE about?  What are the things in your life that need serious attention in order for you to feel as if you CARE about your own wellbeing?  What causes do you CARE about?  Who do your CARE about?  Do those people that you just listed know that you CARE about them?  How do you let them know?  To CARE means to actively engage in actions of helping, attending, focusing, and allowing your consideration to flow toward that which you CARE about.  What are you neglecting in your life and why?  When did you stop CARING about yourself or someone that you once felt connected too?  It is true that when CARE is not returned it is easy to get hurt and give up.  I am asking your evaluate those things and people that you are currently CARING about and see if you need to let some of them go.  If you are CARING about someone more than they CARE about you, perhaps it is time to let go and redirect yourCARE to someone or something more fulfilling. 

YOUR LIFE A-Z JOIN

NATURE INVITES YOU TO JOIN HER TODAY

JOIN

JOIN a group that will enhance the quality of your daily life.  JOIN a cause that will give you a sense of Purpose.  JOIN an organization of like- minded people.  Life is too short to live a vacuum of the little corner of your world. Get out of your rut by allowing yourself to JOIN something new.  Something new will feed you, nurture you, challenge you and allow you to learn and become new again.  Just because you JOIN something does not mean that you have to stay forever or that you cannot quit.  You will not know if the group, organization, or cause is right for you until you give it some Effort.  If it is not what you thought you signed up for then Tweak it or Quit it.  Use your noggin to make sure that the places you choose use your energy and feed your soul or spirit in some way that makes a difference in your day-to-day life.  The Joy of JOINING is a win –win situation, not only for the other person or organization but also for you.  So take a look at the many opportunities you have to JOIN and choose something.  I encourage you to choose something out of your comfort zone, something that will stretch you a bit and help you grow more into who you can be.  But, if that feels too intimidating then JOIN something really emotionally safe for yourself.  Just don’t let your life stat the same, JOIN something different today.
