The Waterfall – Change – If you’re not changing, you’re not living

DREAMS – When was the last time you had a falling dream? Or a rushing water dream? “Dropping stomach” dreams signal a desire for change

You Resist Stagnancy – As your conscious mind seeks stasis, which it interprets as “security”, your subconscious rebels. It demands change! In the meanwhile, your unconscious IS changing, evolving fiercely along with the drama playing out in the entropical human race. Tune in!

Challenge – Shape your change towards growth by asking, is this making me a better person, or a more fearfully imprisoned person? More competent, less dependent, more unique, less compliant, more imaginative, less angry, more joyous, less envious. Evolve with me! Streamline!

Danger – Fundamental attribution error says we blame ourselves for world conditions over which we have no control. Check your guilt/anxiety levels. If they are raging, is there anything you can do to ameliorate the causative circumstances? Being without guilt or anxiety is NOT the goal – that would describe a sociopath! But being crippled by guilt OR anxiety when there’s nothing you can do about it is disabling. And we’re in the empowerment department here.

Opportunity – Change is scary but it is inevitable. If you’re not managing your own evolution, you’re headed downhill. What are the attributes you admire? Spoiler – not complaining, competence and enthusiasm. We are all drawn to people who manifest problem-solving skills. Develop a picture of yourself as a wise being emitting light. Nurture calm, contentment, gratitude – in the midst of a thirst for new ideas and experiences to add to your expanding galaxy of knowledge.
