Ok, I confess….these simply “child-like” exercises are starting to rub off on me and making a difference. I haven’t done “flash cards” to study in school for years, let alone use them now to build new neural pathways towards my new reality. But I have to tell ya…they are working! Allow me to share the aha moment I had today with the new pile of accomplishment flash cards I made….
During my break from work, I grabbed one of my flash card piles and read them aloud as I rapidly as I could with ENTHUUUUSIASM! One of my cards states “Made over $100,000 in MLM” As I said that out lout and laid down the card I stopped in my tracks and thought “Hell yeah I did! ” Wow! I really DID do that! And if I did it before, I know I am able to do that again and so much more! And I will! The moment was so raw and real that it brought tears to my eyes. (By the way….crying is my new litmus test to know that I am on to something and that subby is listening!)
I was so excited and proud of myself! As I thought, “wow, these flash cards really do work!” I immediately thought of the Flash Dance song, “What a Feeling.” (I know, please pardon another song reference…but that’s how my brain works. I am constantly signing songs in my head and life events often make me relate to song lyrics.” But listen to these lyrics and see if you can see where I’m coming from….
“First when there’s nothing
but a slow glowing dream
that your fear seems to hide
deep inside your mind….”
(Really!?! Can it get any more MKE than that?! Did Mark J. write this song????” But wait, there’s more…)
All alone I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
made of stone (or cement? wink wink)
WHAT A FEELING!
Being’s believing
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right
through your life…
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a FLASH
it takes hold of my heart
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
Now I’M dancing
through MY life
What a feeling….
I can have it all
(I can really have it all)
Have it all
(Pictures COME ALIVE
when I call)”
Can you see the correlation????
I hope you all have taken the time to not only make your list of flash cards documenting all the wonderful characteristics you have and all the wonderful things you have done…but to take the time to read them daily! Celebrate!!! If you have done all these marvelous things, you can do more….you can make your definite of purpose your reality.
I know I am…..
Thank you Stefanie! Love the lyrics I was dancing reading them!
The song does relate to our MKE experience. I now have that song running in my mind.
Live and dance like there’s no tomorrow, Stefanie!!!
Thank you so much!
Hi Stefanie….I love this post and your enthusiasm!!! so great that you have shared and your excitement is contagious! What i want to reflect in this comment is that you are highlighting the value of these child like exercises. How very appropriate that we get to, in a sense, reparent ourselves. thank you so much for this share!
Loved your blog again this week, and thus shared it across social media!
You’re awesome, insights are great!
I love those AHA moments – thanks so much for sharing. And the song lyrics rock!
🌈🚀🌙🪐✨💕
That is a perfect song for this exercise, and the whole MKE!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Same! Many thoughts and things people say remind me of lyrics of songs. Definitely use your gift with music
And lyrics.
Thank you Jen! I am so grateful for this community. It is helping so much. Looking forward to spreading the love
Inspiring read! Thanks for sharing.
Stephanie, you made my day! The song was playing deep in my head as I read the lyrics, and your correlations with MKE are remarkable! 🙂
LOL I love how your brain works. Ironically, people used to call me the “Human Dj” because someone would say something and then I would sing a song based on the last word they used. I just realized I need to do that more and listen to music more to bring that playful side back. Thank you for sharing!
Bravo Stefanie!! Inspiring share! Yes indeed time to celebrate all your accomplishments and build a positivity bias for Subby. Great job linking the lyrics from Flash Dance to the MKE skills you are learning. Applying the knowledge. Thanks for your valuable contributions to the MKE community.
