Practice a little every day

APPRECIATION:

I loved the inspiration I received to make her some jewellery from those beads I've had for all these years!

It will be nice to make her something she will enjoy
It will be a nice game to look through the beads I have and tune in to what feels most like "her".

I loved the laugh I got from some of the products that needed review today, like this costume:

which made me laugh as I imagined getting the men in my life to try it on and model it for me
and this storage bag

which for some reason, the model is wearing on his back

I so love to laugh!

GETTING INTO THE FEELING PLACE OF LAUGHTER:

I love it when things make me laugh!
It feels light and bright
It feels dynamic and lively
It feels like energy moving upwards ~ upliftment - bubbles of joy
It feels like fast moving energy
It feels like an eruption of joy
It feels joyful
It feels like glee and mirth and merriment!
It feels FUN!
It feels like a kind of appreciation
It feels like bright eyes
It can sound like such a wide spectrum from a quiet release of breath, a puff of joy; to a loud outburst! From a short staccato HA! to a long and satisfying chain of giggles, doubling over, holding sides, eyes scrunched up, cheeks raised, face creased in joy!
It feels like a glowing face; a face lit up and shining brightly
It feels like your body shaking happily
It feels like it comes from deep within; somewhere from the gut and upwards through the body, bursting out through the face haha now my blunt and not very beautifully poetic description makes me laugh! There is something to appreciate in putting things un-poetically
I love how you can feel a laugh in your whole body!
It reminds me of the song

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

Only I can replace "Love" with "Joy"

It reminds me of a happy memory from my school days: A friend of mine whose energy was often bright and sunshine-y, would so easily make me laugh, often for no reason at all but just looking at each other!
I remember one time in art class, we had to sit outside in the school's garden to draw a scene from nature. As we sat side by side on our chairs, wooden art boards on our laps, we'd steal a look at one another and both burst out laughing! Rolls of laughter - laughing uncontrollably - non-stop! Bending over our art boards in laughter! It felt so fun and light and care-free! It felt so good! And although there was no reason for our laughter other than a look; our laughter together felt bonding - it felt like friendship and togetherness and like closeness. It felt like growing affection and appreciation for one another. How powerful and wonderful we are that we can make each other feel so good just from a little glance with a twinkle in our eyes and a smiling quivering lip!

I do love your post above

Seeing a man outfit I thought about ballroom dances in Vienna, not sure if that would be applicable…

And I so loved your milking the energy of a laughter… when I was reading it I thought of my older cousin with whom I used to have laughter outbreaks. We used to have that laughter where tears are going through eyes, and you cannot stop…. My body would not listen to me and would add a fart for a more laughter. I normally was a shy girl so this would be the biggest embarrassment in normal circumstances but when you are in a laughter mode it would just add more momentum to the laughter

Yeah! You're so right! I can definitely see it as a ballroom dancing outfit!

They do say that laughter is a good "release"! I guess it can be a release in more ways than one!

APPRECIATION:

I liked seeing her calm today - it felt good to observe this

I liked hearing his good news! I'm so happy for him! (and for me! )

I liked feeling helpful today ~

I liked when we sat down to go through the beads and chose her favourite ones together. It felt nice and calm and like looking for beauty ~ and creating a new kind of beauty together. It felt like co-creating!

I liked that we managed to tetris our way into fitting everything we needed to fit into the box! It felt like such satisfaction when it all fit just so! So snugly and perfectly!

I liked that we packed up boxes to give to charity - it will feel so nice to unload some clutter and have our house a little clearer and with more space.

I liked that she made and posted a video answering my question! That was so kind of her! And it's cool if others will benefit from it too!

I liked the show I watched today ~ I like how it felt interesting and gripped my attention so fully and easily. I love feeling like this - engrossed, interested and eager for more. I'm already eager for the next episode

I liked the big sale I got today! It's always so cool when big items sell because it means a bigger commission for me and that's very nice indeed! I always enjoy seeing what designs people end up buying - it feels like a satisfying of a curiosity - and like a tuning in to society's current ideas of beauty - which I enjoy

I liked visiting him today with a clear sense of purpose to our meeting. I love this sense of confidence and direction when I have a very clear plan in mind!

I liked our talk - I liked feeling like I was in a state of such strong clarity that everything I said was exactly what I was intending to say - and it flowed so easily and smoothly. I liked feeling like I was expressing myself so clearly and accurately - it felt very satisfying conveying my thoughts exactly as I intended to!
When I'm tuned in to such clarity, it feels like confidence, and strength, and being in my power; being in control. It feels sure and certain and wonderful!

I really am enjoying the sesame seed cracker snack I've been trying
I love the flavour of sesame seeds! It is so savoury and unique and satisfying. I like the toastedness of it and the tiniest hint of pleasant bitterness which somehow hits just right!

I liked the new soap I used today. A little goes a really long way which I really liked and appreciated! It felt so satisfying as it spread so beautifully and lathered so nicely - and smelled so lovely too! I do love the scent of neroli! I liked how lovely and warm the water was too - I love how it warmed me so thoroughly and soothingly and satisfyingly.

I like the scent of my hand cream too! It smells so fresh and clean and pleasant.

I loved how chatgpt filled in some gaps for me that I'd been wondering about for aaaages and had a really satisfying answer to my question, that put my mind at ease. I'm so appreciative to have the answers to my questions so readily and easily available. It's pure magic! And super satisfying!

I liked the feeling of satisfaction of discovering that I was right about something he said I was wrong about It does feel satisfying to be right!
And I also appreciated learning where I got something wrong - and learning the correct answer - that felt good too I like the expansion that comes with learning a corrected version of something. I do love when people help me see things clearer.

I liked reading Simon's pre-ski post - it felt so light and bright and positive - it felt really good reading it! I like imagining that if it felt good reading it, that could mean it felt good for him to write it - and that makes me happy

MORNING ABE WORK:



I am intending having a lovely day.
It is a beautiful morning.
The sky is clear and blue
The warm golden sun is shining, lighting up the world.
The birds are chirping and singing
Green leaves are growing on hedges and plants
The street is quiet and peaceful

I am intending to see the good everywhere I look today
I am intending to see the good in everyone I interact with today
I am intending to notice the things to appreciate
I am intending to feel the appreciation for them in my heart
I am intending to expand the good things with my focus and make them more - more vibrant; more fun; more beautiful; more appreciation-filled; more joyous; more bright and shiny and feel-good

I am intending finding ease and flow today
I am intending feeling easily inspired to the next step, and the next step today
I am intending tuning in to relaxation today to allow inspirations to flow to me
I am intending to be easy
I love the feeling of flow and inspiration coming to me
I love the bright shiny feeling of it
I love the surprise and delight of it
I love its vibrancy
I love the feeling of enthusiasm and quiet excitement it brings - the eagerness
I love the newness of the feeling of a fresh idea; a fresh inspiration
I love the feeling of clarity and certainty it brings; the clear sense of direction; the clear feeling of knowing exactly what I'm going to do, and what the next step is. It feels so "in the flow" and full of knowing, confidence and positive momentum.


It is a good day for clarity; it parallels the clear blue sky
It would be nice for my mind to be as clear and open as the clear blue sky;
open to the flow of beautiful inspirations and ideas without a cloud in sight
Ease, relaxation and flow come easily to me,
Inspiration and ideas flow easily to me.
open and allowing to receive
in the receiving mode
It feels so wonderful to be in the receiving mode


I am intending to feel light and bright, like the shining sun
It would be nice to shine brightly today - to let my light shine beautifully

APPRECIATION:

It was interesting feeling some subtle inspirations coming this morning after doing my intending exercise for receiving inspirations. It felt almost like I was being pulled in about 10 different possible directions with subtle ideas / inspirations. It will be nice to have a big clear inspiration that pulls me one way tomorrow with great clarity. But I appreciate that moment of noticing the inspirations coming. Noticing they were there. That felt like a direct result of my exercise on here and that was lovely to see : )

I also liked the moment this morning after making the AI image with the girl sitting with the beam of light shining on her diagonally - as if inspiration was being downloaded - right after that I noticed diagonal beams of light in my room, reflecting on the wall above my head I kinda felt like "oh! I created that!" That was a nice feeling that brought a grin to my face

I like the smell of her freshly baking cookies & bread - they smell sooo good! The aroma fills the house with a gentle, homely, delicious smell.

I liked that I came to a decision. It feels good to decide things.

I liked that he made time for me so quickly today - that was so kind.

I liked that I found a fascinating film to watch - I'm glad it had a happy ending.

I liked that I cleared some space in my room so it's a little more open and spacious now : )

I liked that I got a clarification on the difference between silica and hydrated silica and their different on the Moh's hardness scale (vs the Moh's hardness number of tooth enamel). That felt reassuring to know. And I'm happy my new toothpaste has hydrated silica in it so now I feel at peace to try it : )
