Today's Gentle Reminder
======================================================

February the month we think of love and relationships. Remember that your pattern of up and down emotion will reflect in how you feel about your relationships.

In the up stage:
Your boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife will look way better than
they really are

Action:
Breathe back to the middle to avoid (adrenaline burnout) and bring the energy back in to bathe your body's cells in replenishing energy. No decisions or committments to projects, social functions etc.....(say let me get back to you)...limit action.. Don't jump in yet.

What you see in your life is an elevated optimistic view
It is illusion.

In the Down Stage:
Your boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife will look way worse than they really are.

Action:
Stop the first negative thought and complete some minor task such as clean a part of your bedroom floor, put in a load of laundry or walk the dog then give yourself some guilt free TLC No decisions.

What you see in your life is an depleted negative view
It is illusion

While in the Middle wave:
Ahh, finally we can take a good look at our mate or our relationship with others to determine how we really feel.

Action:
Make decisions, make TLC plans, take a look at your patterns and what has been bothering you for the purpose of finding out if it is real and then making a plan to change what must be changed or to simply learn about yourself from the
pattern...no guilt, no bad feelings just observe and take action.

View your relationship here in the middle because it is where the
reality of how you feel about your mate exists.

Quote of the month
======================================================

Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage - and give exceeding thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still - the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see.

Robert Nathan
(1894-1985, American Novelist)

Research
=====================================================
It has been around for quite sometime and mimics how we feel after a high energy wave ride. Chronic stress can cause Adrenal Burnout and show up as signs of depression, irritable bowel syndrome, irritability and more...sound familiar?

Read about it in this month's research article on the web at

How about adding Information Overload onto our Adrenal Burnout!

'We're often seeing a failure of concentration. We're seeing a loss of motivation, loss of morale. We're seeing greater irritability.'
-- Psychologist David Lewis

Storytime:

There are many readers out there that have a great story to tell about how they have handled difficult times or how others have inspired them. Many are working through The Wave Riders steps and improving their lives. We all have our times when we find it difficult and we all have our little successes. I want to share our stories in an upcoming book

Here is the anonymous submission for this month...

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

"But, Mrs.. Smith, you haven't seen the room ....just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it "It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account you withdraw from what you've put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank
account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank.
I am still depositing. Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
