Good Day TUSHKATEERS!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are YOU ready?\u00a0 Are you READY to shed worry<\/strong> and shed the pounds<\/strong> that accompany it?\u00a0 GREAT!!! Because, I have a number of Shed Worry\/Shed Pounds <\/strong>Tips to share with you today!\u00a0 BUT .. Before I share my long, happy, fun and playful ‘shedding’ list, I have to give credit where credit is due.<\/p>\n

This week’s ‘shed worry \/ shed pounds’<\/strong> post was ignited by Susan Keats’ latest My Afterlife<\/em><\/a> blogpost, “Dissing Anxiety<\/a><\/em>.”\u00a0 Susan writes, “I was never an anxious person until that cancer diagnosis came from out of the blue.\u00a0 Now I worry about my health all the time. …. That can\u2019t be healthy, it just can\u2019t. So I\u2019m doing what I can to kick anxiety out of my head, out of my house, out of my life.”<\/em>\u00a0 Susan and her gaggle of fans have come up with some fabulous ideas to kick the ‘worry’ tush.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em> Susan’s techniques range from saying (or firmly stating, or even yelling)<\/em> “Shut Up!” to the anxiety thoughts, to finding the right Tibetan Singing Bowl that soothes the soul.<\/p>\n

I am so<\/strong><\/em> up for that one.\u00a0 Not only do I love the sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls and have wanted one for some time (kids, are you reading this??? put that on my birthday list!!! I’ll send you links!)<\/em>, it requires shopping, which is one of my favorite ‘pound shedding’ things to do.<\/p>\n

So … Let’s start there.\u00a0 There being ‘shopping.’\u00a0 Let’s SHED WORRY\/ SHED POUNDS<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

7 TIPS:\u00a0 Shed Worry\/SHED POUNDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 SHOP for the things that will help you to shed the worry and the pounds.<\/strong>\u00a0 If Tibetan Singing Bowls are not your thing, what is?\u00a0 Another way to go is to Anthropologie<\/a> for their incredibly beautiful measuring cups that can double as bowls to eat out.\u00a0 In other words, you fill your bowl up to the line, and you’ve got your one cup serving without having to measure!\u00a0 Got it?\u00a0 They’re not cheap, but hold on there … if you wait and watch, Anthro has amazing sales!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Create a WORRY BOX.<\/strong>\u00a0 I have one that I made that is red and with fringes on it.\u00a0 I know I have a photo of it somewhere. (I’ll have to do a major search for it and hopefully share the box with you later.<\/em>)\u00a0 The point of the worry box is that you write out whatever it is that is worrying and cluttering<\/strong><\/em> your mind, and put it in the box.\u00a0 Let the worry box worry for you!<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/em>When the box is full, ceremoniously burn or shread its contents.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 SHELVE the WORRY.\u00a0 <\/strong>You know the expression “shelve it.”\u00a0 Well then, Shelve It!!!\u00a0 Imagine that there is a shelf in your closet (you know, your organized closet<\/em>) and in your mind’s eye, put the ‘thing or things’ that you are worried about on the shelf. Way in the back!!!<\/p>\n

I do this the first of every month.\u00a0 I take out what’s worrying me (in my mind’s eye)<\/em>, and then re-shelf it.\u00a0\u00a0 It teaches me that whatever I was\/am worried about, if ‘shelvable’ from one month to the next, are pretty much not worth worrying about. \u00a0 Sometimes I am actually able to let go of the one of the worries – for good!!!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 PUT ON YOUR BOOGIE SHOES – DanceOUT the WORRY HABIT ENERGY.\u00a0<\/strong> Worrying is an “Habit Energy.”\u00a0 I learned this term – Habit Energy – from the writings of Th\u00edch Nh?t H?nh, Vietnamese Buddhist Monk.\u00a0 Is not worry a habit?\u00a0<\/strong> You betcha.<\/p>\n

In order to move the energy, dance it out.\u00a0 This week’s ‘dance it out video’ is from Glee (a show I used to love, but don’t so much anymore … but this week was a good theme week – Disco Inferno.\u00a0 Who could resist???).\u00a0 Here’s my fav video from the show! Boogie Shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 LAUGH IT OUT WITH A FRIEND:\u00a0 GIRL POWER<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yesterday, I met up with my good friend, Ellen!\u00a0 It was a cold, grey day in New York.\u00a0 Instead of taking a long walk together (power walking with a friend will shed worry and pounds)<\/em>, we met up at the Museum of the City of New York<\/a>.\u00a0 We thoroughly enjoyed the museum, AND we found a place to huddle in, dish the dirt and laugh it out.\u00a0 So find yourself a good friend and laugh it out!<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 PUT A POEM IN YOUR POCKET.<\/strong>\u00a0 This Thursday (April 26) is Poem in Your Pocket Day<\/a> (thus the side bar, overflowing with succulently exquisite quotes about poems)<\/em>.\u00a0 Here’s how to celebrate:\u00a0 Select a poem that you love or write one, and put it in your pocket.\u00a0 There are events all over the country, where people will be pulling poems from their pockets and sharing them!<\/p>\n

OR … share them with us!!!\u00a0 I’ll be posting a poem on my Beliefnet.blog<\/a> on Thursday, so feel free to visit us again and post your pocket poem, too!<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 MANIFESTING:\u00a0 FOCUS!!!<\/strong>\u00a0 We manifest what we focus on, Tushkateers. It’s that SIMPLE (not necessarily easy; but simple).\u00a0 Focus on FUN!\u00a0 Focus on PLAY!\u00a0 Focus on LOVE!\u00a0 Focus on HAPPINESS!!! and watch the worry and pounds melt away!<\/div>\n
