You've heard of the phrase “Pros & Cons”, right?

Mostly everything in life has pros & cons, including us!

Up has down, high has low, happy has sad, day has night, light has dark… all most in balance, but too much of even a good thing can become a con.

Where do our CONs live? Our bodies, our minds, our memories?

They became part of us, based on our upbringing, and our surroudings growing up.

What are they? They are our bad habits, fears, laziness, insecurities, doubt, not feeling worthy, and they keep us down in the dumps, where don’t want to be!

Side note: Laziness does not need to be a con! Examples:

__Someone robs a bank… that’s stupid lazy! Don’t be that.

__Someone who never does their yard work, weeds will take over, even becoming a hazard. Be smart lazy and hire that out, find a way to make that is not send you to prison!

How do we minimize them? (it’s not possible to banish them forever!) (Make friends with them (but not BFFs!)… it can be a guest, a passenger, a distant friend/relative),

AND by Nurturing/Focusing our PROs and strengths (because what we think, we become):

(example: Clean kitchen, organized closet, beautiful garden, etc.)

CATEGORIZE and tackle things individually (at home or work).

This is HARD work! Try a cleaning schedule, I do this (since everything starts at home (what happens inside our homes shapes our lives).
