What makes us feel like a whole person? There are actually and really so many parts to us. Our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions, to name a few. To acquire a feeling like we are all together…just what will it take? Could it all boil down to “one” thing? Could be!
Emptiness sounds like a terrible disease. Wholeness sounds like being full of something special. But what? Going down the path of “wholeness” what would we find? What do you think that we would discover? What comes to mind? Could it be “honesty?” Oh no! You can’t feel whole without being honest with yourself, then others.
Is there more to feeling like a whole person? Well, yes there is! What about having good habits? Name your good habits, okay? This is important! And there is more to feeling whole.
Do you ever think about trust, or trusting? Trusting, to me, has to do with something outside oneself. “Do you agree?” Trusting builds good relationships.
Then there’s integrity. What do you think about integrity? You know that integrity is very important. Integrity has everything to do with our feelings of wholeness. Why do I say that? Because, it all goes back to our ability to be honest with ourselves, then others.
And now, we’re moving on to self-respect, completing our feelings for wholeness. With self-respect working for us, delivering usto our self-confidence.
Our pathway takes us right back to our being true to ourselves, then others. Wholeness, completed! And now, I trust that you will agree that there is so much for us to feel good about ourselves. “Yay!”
Always caring,
Louise
Here I am, living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming thinking, "What can I tell you about my life and my own experiences?" Having grown up in Houston, Texas, then moving to Dallas, where my children grew up. We were fortunate enough to have a second home in Jackson Hole. At 84 now, I am over-read on self-help information. Self-awareness and being, or becoming more aware of my own behavior, as it relates to myself and then to others, is where my thinking and doing takes me. I'm about moving forward, for acknowledging to addressing today's problems, and what we can do to make a difference. It's important! At this point, I am only the messenger, offering solutions to the current suicide and drug crisis among our young people, in today's world; with a pathway to follow. Check out my website: tamingthewildhorses.com Currently, I am working at The Historic Wort Hotel's gift shop. Also, volunteer at our Senior Center. I enjoy being at home, cooking, having a garden (a good thinking and writing place), being with friends exploring the landscape, (which is amazing in Jackson Hole) and checking out our thrift stores. In just a couple of weeks, I'll be driving to Denver to be grandma to my teenage granddaughters for a month. In October, I'll be in Houston for a book-signing event for, "Taming the Wild Horses. Then back to my regular routine here in Jackson Hole. "Happy Trails Everyone!" B. Louise Bayer/Martens
