Carrie and Danielle: Karma Points: How Will You Gain Them Today?

  • Connie · 11 months ago
    It's my birthday, so maybe I gain a point or two for stayin' alive through thick and thin of all these years. I'll be cheerful and fun and be grateful for any blessings.

    Have a really fabulous birthday! Celebrations don't happen enough, and too many people forget to have fun, so I encourage you to celebrate your freakin' birthday. It's your day!!

    I guess by being conscious of what I say to others and how they may construe my comments. I will aim to say only things that they will feel happy to hear, not things that harm. I will give compliments where possible so that others feel happy.

    I will be patient and empathic with my father, who suffers from depression and anxiety. I am taking him to the doctor, and I am doing this for him, and I am giving up half of my day and my head space to do it. I will focus on breathing and compassion.

    I'm going to not secretly complain when I'm given assignments today. I'm going to be kind to my boyfriend's friend even though I don't necessarily like them. I'm going to let my boyfriend know I appreciate him and the dinners he makes (I do that every day but there's no reason to not keep doing it!).

    I will find compassion for people with whom it is difficult.

    I think my own body needs more kindness. Today I will accept my body for what it can do and what it can't, bringing conscious awareness to what it needs, with focused compassion and gentleness.

    I don't believe in Karma, per se, but I do believe (in fact, I KNOW) that what goes around, comes around.

    Add to that that I the one thing I want to be remembered for, above all else, is kindness and I will try today, not just to ACT kindly, but to BE kind. To develop withing me the fruits of the spirit described at Galatians 5:22,23: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness & self-control.

    I will clear the path for as many people I work with as possible today. I will be sweet and kind to my husband this evening even though I might be tired when I get back home. I will love on my puppies.

    I try every day to treat the people that are in my life as though they are understood, appreciated, welcome with me always, and special to me. My goal always is to sprinkle joy and warmth especially to those I love.

    I am going out with my girlfriends tonight and what I can give is an ear to listen, big smiles that say 'I'm glad you're here', and laughs to share. Having wonderful girls in my life is a big karmic reward.

    Making sure I laugh and smiling extra wide at strangers.

    Today is almost over...maybe I'll send just a short "I love you" reminder email to those close to me.

    Like Debbie, I believe that what goes around, comes around. And I've seen too many people who either suffer or are blessed with their earlier actions. So, how would I gain good karma points today? Well, I guess by showing people I love that I'm always there for them, and by being kinder to strangers. A little smile goes a long, long way!
