Salima’s Wisdom Tips
&
Insights:
A BIG HELLO TO ALL OUR
WISDOM WARRIORS:
For change to take place we must move beyond blaming others or making it all about us, either way nothing will change if you continue this line of thinking. If you keep worrying about those concerns in the same way, the thinking starts to take on a life of it’s own, often spiraling into anxiety. When you find yourself thinking … WHY? …. WHAT IF? … WHY ME? … Ask yourself is this thinking helping you to feel better? Answer NO! So let’s do something different YES! STOP, PAUSE, TAKE A DEEP BREATHE AND ASK YOURSELF HOW CAN I APPROACH THIS IN A BETTER WAY? Put the situation into perspective. Try and look at the situation from the other person’s point of view as well. Look outside the box of limitations to find another way.

“Sometimes you have to make the leap,
and build your wings on the way down.”

If you do not practice the process,
don’t expect the results.
Repetition – Repetition – Repetition!

Believing is seeing ~ you have the power
to believe what you want to believe.
You can choose to change your beliefs.
Do that and your world will change.

Tip from Jayana
The Law of the Farm says:
If you want to grow something there are no
short cuts. You need to pick the season,
till the soil, choose the seeds,
plant and water them, protect them from
predators, wait for the crop to grow, and then
reap the harvest, with gratitude and thankfulness.
Now that you have examined the truth of your
own life, picked the season and tilled the soil
with us at The Retreat House,
the next step symbolizes
that you need to choose the seeds…
identify your goals, now understood accurately,
realising the very next step embarks you on an
adventure with life, no guarantees;
and the realisation this knowledge opens you
to a great, expansive journey of experiencing
yourself, and sharing what you learn with others,
like a meal we enjoy together from
the fruit of the harvest.
Bon Appetite! Jayana xx

Quote & Tip from Jo
Caution:
If you go home and do exactly what you were doing
before you came on your retreat program,
what is going to change?
NOTHING!
So remember for things to change,
first I must change.
* * *
We cannot change the past.
Not from this second backwards.
The only thing about the past we can change,
is the way we are viewing it and
the meaning we have attached to it.
* * *
A mistake is simply another way of doing things.
Katharine Graham

I’d rather regret the things I’ve done
than regret the things I haven’t done!
