Do you ever have a month that is full of weirdness and outright surprises?  Do you ever notice you‘re in a time when very little is in its regular groove, within your normal expectations?  I have been experiencing one of those months. I had 2 huge changes, with my husband passing and me beginning chemo. Yet I keep noticing and hearing news of the weird, and astonishing moments.   Life has been here, there, and everywhere.  I had to share some of this with you.  Here are just a few riveting moments:

–  In the middle of 8 lanes of traffic in central Phoenix last week, a beautiful dragonfly wafted by, right in front of my car.  So light and free.  A great reminder.

–  Today, major news outlets recorded Mel Smothers leaning on his bright yellow 4 x 4, playing violin in northern California traffic.  South Lake Tahoe was evacuating, due to the unbelievably huge Caldor fire.  Mel had been stopped in a line of evacuees for 1 ½ hours at this point.  He looked relaxed.  His golden retriever looked worried.  We don’t know what Mel’s wife thought, because she was in a vehicle behind them.

–  People who keep track of these things assure me that today is Love Litigating Lawyers Day. (You can confirm this with Helen Goldman of Primo Promos.)

–  Experts announced that eating one hotdog takes 26 minutes off your life.  I realized I don’t care.  At all.  I will continue to eat one annually without their permission.

–  Amazon announced a buy now pay later plan, accompanied by warnings that we have only 110 days to shop before Christmas.  Look out!  You never have more than 365 days to shop before Christmas!  Time is clearly closing in.

–  IKEA announced today that it is testing a buy-back program, offering store credit for IKEA pieces you previously purchased, and selling those pieces in an as-is section.  The US program will debut in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, through September 19.  It has been successful in other countries and is expected to be implemented in all US locations also.  The company is moving toward more corporate sustainability and to be “climate positive” by 2030.

–  Several news outlets reported that a bear in Connecticut stole an Amazon package– containing scented toilet paper.  Amazon had only delivered the package 5 minutes before, when homeowner Kristin Levine’s system warned her someone else was at her door.  Then she saw the bear making off with her package.  I wonder if the fragrance of the toilet paper contained fruit tones?

–  I stepped outside to greet God this morning, as I do every day.  And today, there was a rainbow.  God’s reminder that He is there for us. 

–  Then a hummingbird buzzed in front of me, twice, at waist level.  Our hummingbirds normally like to stay high and away.

Life has been here, there, and everywhere.  Yet, it’s clear that, no matter how weird and change-filled life is, things will be OK.  I will be OK.  You will be OK.  And that’s us, together, ever more Healthy Happy Loving Life^sm!

Bird feeder array in the Feng Shui Garden

Sometimes a tiny thing can ignite a chain reaction of change, leading to major shifts. In the case we’re discussing today, the tiny thing was a little bird who loves salad.  Not just any salad, but chunks of the coin plant and new shoots of grass in the Feng Shui Garden.  My Feng Shui Garden. That I have been designing, cultivating, and artfully adjusting, for about 14 years.  You should know there are small lawn patches in the Feng Shui Garden, about 25 square feet altogether. And some months ago, Hunky Husband decided the grass needed an overhaul.

He worked and worked, replacing the soil and trying different grasses and care methods. Finally, he found The Right Grass (another whole column), he installed it, and it began to flourish.  A beautiful emerald carpet was growing, then up to 4 inches in its first week.  But then!! We woke up one morning to find little black craters in the pristine lawn.  We watched, quietly, and soon we saw it was this tiny bird, formerly fascinated with biting chunks out of the coin plant, who loved to dig for the bases of the new grass shoots.

Lovebird feeding

So HH decided to offer the bird and his friends some snacks away from the lawn. He put a tray feeder on the back wall, and they came.  So did every Phoenix regional bird including doves, pigeons, blackbirds, magpies, grackles, and even something large and black we never identified.  HH found that the larger birds were bullying the smaller birds, and he decided we should favor the little guys.  So he began to try many different devices: hanging feeders, house-like feeders, tube feeders, open feeders (big fail), and on and on.  While this was a lot of change, the little guy that liked to dig up the lawn stopped doing that!

Can you see 4 birds feeding at once?

We installed a fountain somewhat away from the grass, and the little birds seem to like that much more than the big birds do.  The hummingbirds like to sit in the eye of water at the very top of the fountain.  We seem to have settled out at 6 feeders, one wabi basin (hollowed out oval rock that holds water), and one fountain.  And no further lawn-diggers!  The Feng Shui Garden was once a quiet place of flowers and statues, meditation space with occasional geckos. Now it is a constant Renaissance Faire of all bird sizes, up to pigeons.  There is perpetual motion.  Happy motion. We can sit in the living room and watch the widescreen action like a movie, any time the Sun is out.

The one little bird that loves garden salad ignited a revolution in the Feng Shui Garden, which has become an avian paradise. He changed the Garden and our Garden plan.  Unanticpated, he ignited a revolution.  And we are so glad!  We love the new version of the Feng Shui Garden.  Sometimes our intentions cause unintended changes, and a tiny bird may be the agent of those changes.  And now we are more and more Healthy, Happy, and Loving Life^sm !

Gliding Into Your Fabulous New Year

So it’s a whole fresh new year—a blank slate to be written upon. Happy New Year 2015! Whoops (sound of brakes screeching)! Are you happy? How do you feel right now? If you need to move the ice pack off your head before you can operate the keyboard, that’s okay. I’ll wait. Open your iPad or your iPhone Notes app, or get out that pen and paper. Let’s take just 5 minutes together, or more, if you find this interesting. Today is the perfect day to ask yourself some questions:

• Is your body comfortable, your heart full, your mind clear and at ease, your spirit at peace? No one is going to see your answers unless you choose to share, so jot down key words, cryptic phrases, or even write out your feelings at length.
• And what about your life and livingness? Do you have the relationships you want? Do you feel loved?
• Is money working for you the way/s you would like?
• Are you and the Divine on friendly terms?
• What about your environment? Does it look pleasant to you? Does the flow work for you? Or is it dull and messy, the closets overflowing and files impossible to navigate?
• Today, how does your life look, compared to what you envisioned on January 1^st a year ago?

 

Notice I have not yet used the R-word. I want you to forget the guilt and forget being hard on yourself. Most say we should jump powerfully into our new year with a renewed sense of discipline and determination. Today, as a stress management expert, I’m supposed to talk enthusiastically about goals and resolutions, why they work and don’t work, blah blah blah. But we can cover those tomorrow. And please come back for that piece. As usual, my recommendations don’t go where others usually go. I want your life and work to be as painless and as satisfying as possible.

 

So for today, please forget all the resolutions you made a year ago. Forget how you’ve been eating and drinking and not-exercising the last several weeks. Forget what the scale said this morning. (You had to look, didn’t you?) Today, you are behind on last year’s idealized ideas of who and how you and your life should be. Some of you are feeling really guilty about the gap. Guilt depresses your parasympathetic nervous system and leaves you more open to illness, so it’s the worst strategy to nurture your guilt.

“Guilt is anger directed at ourselves.”

~ Peter McWilliams

 

May I boldly suggest you stop guilting yourself right now? Instead, today, do what your body-mind-heart-spirit system needs: gentle transition from holiday health into the vigor you want and need for a powerful New Year. Do these things today, and continue this week:

• Drink lots of extra filtered water. This detoxes.
• Eat less sweet stuff today. Sweetness is yin and makes you yin: swollen, weak, slow and quiet.
• If you can, walk for 20 minutes or tread on your treadmill, at walking speed, for 20 minutes. More detox.
• Schedule some energy therapy like Jin Shin Jyutsu ® for balancing. This can eliminate the aches and unclarity.
• Take some time in Nature. This pumps up your master hormone, DHEA, making you stronger and more resilient. The effect is immediate. An upcoming article will expand on this amazing phenomenon.
• If you like God, pray, or just find a quiet place and moment, and talk. You may be wonderfully surprised at what you hear.
• Start a journal, in your iPad or the like, your iPhone notes section, or in a disguised document on your computer. As you finish reading this article, take 5 minutes to write down some of your realizations. Notice how much lighter you feel?

“It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.”

~ Oscar Wilde

 

I would like you to enjoy your New Year! And to start making the most of it, consider gliding into it gently. Forget the advice to jump in forcefully. Create a transition from the Holidays, treat yourself kindly, and your pzazz will be back in mere days. Now: Happy (and Fabulous) New Year!

UpBeat Living: When Life Flips You Off Track

Think of the top 3 disappointing events you’ve had in life.  Maybe you were in a relationship you believed in, and suddenly it was over.  How about the time you had your heart set on a job, you knew you were the prime candidate, and you didn’t get it?  Then there was that friend who suddenly cut you off, with a weird reason or no reason.  Remember how much that hurt?

 

Enter, the Upbeat Living Pinball Machine Theory of Life.  Sometimes, it’s like you are the ball on a pinball game board.  After the token goes into the machine, and the spring launcher is pulled and released, the ball zips up the slope of the game board.  Sometimes, like the pinball, you are racing up the board of life thinking you are definitely headed in a certain direction.  The right direction, surely.  Then you get hit with a flipper.  Ow!  For a moment, you don’t even know what your new direction is, right?  You’re just reverberating with the impact of the flipper (ow!), feeling the pain, and trying to get your bearings again.  Then you begin collecting yourself, look up, and see what unintended direction you are now headed in.  Yikes!  This is a new direction!  Not what the plan was!

 

Now let’s talk about that major relationship change.  Grammy-Award winning musician Garth Brooks has a powerful song called, “Thank God for Unanswered Prayers.”  In the song, he tells of being at a football game with his wife and seeing the woman he dated in high school.  Back then, he used to pray for that relationship every night.  By the time he saw his old flame again, he realized he would not be in the amazing relationship he was in with his wife, had the relationship with his old flame worked out.  So now he is massively grateful for the passing of that old relationship.  He was redirected on the Pinball Machine of Life, and now he is deeply glad.

 

Life is a tapestry woven by the decisions we make.

~Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kiss of the Night

 

Now, that perfect job you didn’t get—what changes would that have created in your life?  Changes that would have prevented something great that then did happen?  Here’s an example from this writer’s life:  20 years ago, she flew to Denver for a pre-hiring interview with an international company.  Having done projects with the CEO of the Colorado Division, she knew it was only a matter of negotiating the position and salary.  In Denver, she scoped out where to rent an apartment and what moving arrangements would be involved.  But when she called the man who was to interview her, he said he would call back in 20 minutes.  Then he never did. He never managed to meet with her during the 5 days she was there.  When the CEO asked how her conversations with the interviewer went, she told him they never even met.  The CEO said, “but I thought it was a pre-hiring interview?’  She said, “yes, I thought so, too.”  She never heard from the company again.  It was a bitter disappointment that hurt for many months.  Now, however, she sees that she would never have met and married her husband, had she been given the job in Denver.  She was redirected for a powerful reason.

 

As to a friend who suddenly cut you off, let’s put it in perspective and then give thanks.  Recently, a client was suddenly dropped as a friend because she declined a vacuum cleaner demonstration.  That’s right.  She politely declined an emailed request, due to an extreme work schedule.  Also, she did not know the friend-of-a-friend-of-a- friend that she would be helping by giving 2 hours for a demonstration of a product she could not afford.  The inviter sent an attack reply, assaulting the client’s integrity and spirituality.  He said she was monetizing their friendship.  The client was thinking, “[W]ell, ONE of us is monetizing the relationship!”

 

Leeda knew friends never turned out to be what you expected. They came and went in waves, pulling away and coming back, leaving you feeling safe one minute and lost the next.

~ Jodi Lynn Anderson, Peaches

 

The client then phoned the inviter’s wife to ask if she felt the same way.  The wife said she would call back.  Immediately the inviter emailed the client again, nastily ordering that she must not “go behind his back” to talk to his wife, and best she not contact either of them again.  Did the client really want to be friends with people who would go ballistic over small matters?  Reconsidering a number of past hints of the dark side of these “friends”, the client sadly let these friendships go.  Since, she has come to be glad they are no longer in her life.  Now she has more time for more compatible friends.  She was redirected for powerful reasons.

 

Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it…Don’t allow his anger to become your anger.

~ Bohdi Sanders, Warrior Wisdom:  Ageless Wisdom for the Modern Warrior

 

If you are a person of faith, remember this timeless truth [Romans 8:28]:  “We know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him…”  When the flippers hit you, you are being directed for powerful purposes, by a Wisdom greater than our own.  Do your best to deal with the hurt.  Then embrace the new opportunities that are arriving.  Be the happy and grateful pinball.  Now that’s Upbeat Living!

UpBeat Living: What I Learned From the Pine in the Feng Shui Garden

Confucius in the Feng Shui Garden

When I first began developing my Feng Shui Garden, about 7 years ago, I bought a pine tree with no label at Home Depot’s after-Christmas orphan tree sale.  I was so strongly moved to adopt this tree, that there was no resisting it.  Heaven clearly wanted me to have this tree, which was about my height, about 5 feet and 6 inches.  With much help from my tall, strong husband-to-be (now husband), I selected a location for this little tree, far out from the 6-foot wall.  My thought was to have the tree anchor a charming planter area in that corner of the garden.

Ha!  The tree is now about 4 times my height, and its branches drape out over the wall.  It’s so big now, that there is no way to reasonably get a photo.  As you approach the house, you can now see the backyard treetop looking down on the house.  Its shade cools our yard and our house.  What scares me is that the nearby park has similar-looking trees that are up to 70 feet tall.  That’s right.  Huge.  We thought we were buying a vegetal puppy, and we ended up with a vegetal Marmaduke!  Only very well-behaved.

Meanwhile, I have learned amazing things from my friendship with this tree.  Here are a few:

1. Scale:  Start a project, and you never know how grand it may turn out to be, especially when it’s Heaven-backed.  My pine tree has become the triumphant presence in the Feng Shui Garden.  Not greater than the Divine Presence, of course.
2. Vision:  Keep watering your project garden, treat it reasonably, handle with prayer, and years later, it may look like quite a different project.  The project itself may change your vision of the project, with time.
3. Dynamism:  Everything is dynamic.  Puppies, pines, relationships, business projects, social media—everything is ever-changing.  So when we start something, we need to be flexible and see just how it’s evolving.  Did your puppy look like the grown dog did/does?  Does your relationship with your sister look like it did when you were kids?
4. Response to Grace:  As the project/person/puppy changes, they bless us differently, and we need to change.  We need to decorate around them, in different ways.  A puppy needs a different bed, different food, different toys, different exercise than a grown dog.  In the Feng Shui Garden, I have shifted the design of the Garden a number of times, as the pine has grown and begun to grace the Garden differently.  I enlarged the original planter bed several times, to engage the visual scale and beauty of the pine.  A 30” monk statue under the pine has been moved several times, as the scale of the planter area has shifted.  Today, I removed the original coin plant (looks like jade plant with up to ½” succulent leaves) that, at one time, was on the sunny edge of the pine’s planter zone.  Recently, it has been in complete shade and wandering about.  Today, the removed coin plant got reduced to cuttings and transferred to a beautiful pot, now standing at a sunny edge of the pine’s perimeter.  I had to re-think and re-vision what was under the pine, as it began to teach me more of who it was.

The pine in the Feng Shui Garden is moving into its greatness.  Who knows what the scale of its greatness will be in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years?  Are you moving into your greatness?  Are you looking at the scale of your efforts, examining your vision, and staying flexible with the dynamism of Life?  Most important, are you shifting your project, decorating around your larger dog, and accommodating the greatness of your life’s Garden with new design changes?  Remember: although we cannot know exactly what it is,  the best is yet to be.

UpBeat Living: Possibilities, Choices, Changes

Possibilities

© 2013 Kebba Buckley Button.  World Rights Reserved.

 

One of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves is to be open to positive possibilities in all aspects of life. Are you willing to allow yourself to get well? Are you willing to allow yourself to achieve a promotion? Are you willing to allow yourself a massive upswing in income? Are you willing to allow yourself a happy love relationship?

Have you ever noticed that there are some small or simple things you want to have in life but you don’t seem to go after them? Some of them are so easy to get, yet you don’t go get them. Why not? For example, many people complain about the chair they sit in the most. They say it just doesn’t fit them, it’s too high, it’s too deep, it’s too hard or unsupportive here or there. You have been in these conversations and heard the speeches. Some people can go on for years claiming they want a different desk chair, dining chair, or recliner. Do these folks act like they want to change the chair? Or do they act like people who want to talk about the chair and keep on talking about the chair? What is actually stopping the chair owner from changing the chair?

It is completely clear when we truly want something: we go after it. A morning coffee or mid-day lunch is an absolute goal, achieved daily and without fail, for many people. In larger decisions, we all know people who are sure of what they want. When their chair is not right, they try adjusting it and adding or subtracting pillows. If that doesn’t meet the requirement, then they go to stores that sell chairs in their price range and start auditioning chairs. Soon, they show you their wonderful new chair, beaming at how pleased they are with the both the comfort and the problem solution. These people are open to successful changes.

The classic formula for achieving something is:

1. Set the goal.
2. Set the approximate time frame and budget. List the steps needed.
3. Take action.
4. Stay focused until complete.
5. Enjoy your achievement.

So why do we so often fail to get to Step 3? I propose that there is a category of desire which is not a real desire. It’s the category of What We Want to Want (W4). If I only want-to-want my new chair, I will not take action. I am not willing to take action. Willingness is an element for success. Inaction is not just a matter of laziness, although it may appear so.   How many people do you know who want-to-want a new job or relationship?  What other examples of W4 can you think of?  You may want to journal about examples you have seen, or examples from your own life.

Do you really want it?  Or do you want-to-want it?  — Kebba Buckley Button

Here is a short method for you to try, in three steps.

1.  Write down your goal, such as: get comfortable chair, find someone new to date, get new job, increase income by $10K per year, get rid of scars, learn to program dreams, increase stamina 50%, lose fifteen pounds without their finding me again. Note how relatively willing you are to do anything about this. Do you want it? Or do you only wish you wanted it?

2.  Write down all your reasons for achieving this goal. What payoffs will you enjoy when the goal is achieved?  Again note your relative willingness to take action. It’s higher now, isn’t it? If not, figure out for whom this goal was really set. Was it for your parents, was it for appearances, or was it for someone else? Now, if this goal wasn’t really your desire, consider setting it aside! Otherwise, proceed.

3.  Vividly picture yourself having achieved this goal, and feel exactly how good it is to have this item, condition, or achievement in your life.

Plan to repeat Steps 2 and 3 daily. Vision it! Check your relative willingness again. Wow! Are you ready now? Then it’s time to stop wanting and go take action! Repeat as desired. Enjoy!

UpBeat Living: Stop Feeding Your Fatigue! Part 1

In this series, you will learn what actually causes fatigue. More importantly, you will learn how to stop causing your own fatigue. If situations or relationships tire you out, you can use new strategies to stop getting tired and worn. If you feel tired after eating or drinking, you can switch to taking in food and drink that is energizing for you. Through understanding and changing your choices, you can truly stop feeding, increasing, and recreating your own fatigue.

Get Ready for Change

 

Welcome to your personal course in discovering your true self, The Secret Energized You^sm! You’ll notice that I use words differently, or use new words, to get people to take a fresh look at how life works. I present ideas and methods called LifeTools, throughout these articles. These are not just nice ideas. They are techniques and processes for you to use to rework areas of your life where you want to discover more energy, vitality, connection, success, joy, and transcendence. You can use LifeTools to solve negative conditions and to create positive energy. Life is an experiment! The Universe is your laboratory. What you get in life is the result of the way you have been experimenting and the tools you have been using. What tools will you use in your experiment? You must change your choices to change your results.

 

You must change
your choices to
change your results.

There is a cultural idea in modern life that you can talk about a problem until you are exhausted, or your counseling budget is, and the problem will somehow go away. Actually, talking endlessly about a challenge will often magnify it. Some say, “What you resist persists”. You may even overwork the problem mentally and get “paralysis by analysis”. You may say, “I just want to survive this difficult time!” But I want much more for you. I want you to understand problems differently and then do things differently. I want you to thrive, not just survive. I want new results for you. I want you to fully discover The Secret Energized You.

Aim to thrive,
not just survive.

In live presentations, I often say, “I don’t want much from you today—I just want to completely change your life!” If you read these articles and use the LifeTools, you will find profound changes in your energy and the joyful dynamism of your life. Welcome to your fresh new approach to creating and fully living the life you want!
