Trick or Treat

As Halloween approaches and this blog hangs over my head. I feel the chill on my skin wondering what will come out of my head, through my fingers and onto this page. Fear is starting to set in as the week draws to an end and I haven’t touched the keyboard til now. Will something crazy or creepy make its way out of my head and into the dark spaces of the internet and find its way to you?  We are about to find out!

Wait, a black cat just crossed in front of me…I hope this goes well. What’s up? Where did that blasted ladder come from that has now caused me to drop my pocket mirror?  I’m starting to really wonder if anything is going to go my way tonight. I just saw a decoration of a spider…ewww sick…that reminded me of when I had to trap an actual tarantula and save my roommate, because it was climbing on her pillow while she slept. Ouch!  I thought horseshoes were supposed to be lucky and now I think I have a broken toe. Wouldn’t ya know it, just my luck, the pizza I ordered is $13!!  I think I should just stop now, go climb in bed and hide under my pillow and wait for a better day.  If better days are even out there!

Do you ever feel like this is your existence? Bad luck everywhere you turn?  Do you experience fear that creeps in whether it’s real or imagined, that starts to overtake your life? This Halloween season seemed like a good time to take a look at some of the freaky things going on in our minds and how we respond to them.

So, what ghoulish thoughts are lurking around in your heads?  When they appear what do you do with them? Are they taking up valuable space where more angelic thoughts could be playing peacefully? Are you allowing spooky things from the past to stop you in your tracks? Are you frozen with fear thinking about the future and creating monsters that don’t even exist, except in your mind?

As we pass through this Halloween, look inside your goodie bucket and see if it is full of tricks disguised as fear or treats that will take you closer to your goals.  Look at what lurks inside your closets, open the doors and let those skeletons go – forever.  Lean into the fear of cleaning out those cobwebbed corners and creating spaces full of creative energy. Hang up that horseshoe and realize you are luckier than you think and start moving towards gratitude and all the great things that are coming your way.

You have a choice to live in fear or joy. You have a choice to choose positivity over negativity.

Trick or treat…the choice is yours.

Quick, smash that spider. Seriously!

Go BE Great!
