The SPARKLE Fairy!
My “Opposite George” MAGIC!
If you’re not a Seinfeld fan, today’s title may be lost on you so here’s the short version: One episode George decides to do the exact opposite of all his natural instincts and as such, lands a dream job, great apartment and beautiful girl.
My hubby and I often “Opposite George” things when we’re struggling with the same issues over and over. I believe it’s a form of overcoming our self-imposed limiting beliefs!
Hubby did an “Opposite George” this earlier this week in relation to work with great results and I’m choosing to do an “Opposite George” today to turn my vibe around! Want to join me? Post your MAGIC and then choose one thing you often struggle with and turn it around! Talk about FREEDOM! 
My Everyday Magic
* Fairy-Wish-Friday yesterday! So much fun! (And all your wishes shall be granted! 
)
* Our AWESOME kitty who goes outside with us every day, plays with us in the snow, sits on “Dream Rock” with us, chases our bubbles, goes on the sled with us, climbs trees with the boys and then follows us back inside! I love you Wiley-kins!
* KNOWING I’ll get an opportunity to talk to the Aussie breeder today and see pics of the newly born puppies!
* My just turned 5 year old setting a new family BOWLING RECORD on Wii! So cool!
* My dearest beloved hubby delighting the boys with wrestling and chasing right now ~ I love you, sweetie!
My “Opposite George” Magic
Instead of getting angry, frustrated, or feeling guilty about my children being sick YET AGAIN, what I know about this situation is:
* This constant sickness is not my fault as a mother and is happening for reasons that are actually offering us opportunities.
* This situation has highly motivated me to grow our own sacred, healing foods which I am LOVING and know will be INCREDIBLY HEALING!
* We will be VIBRANTLY HEALTHY in all seasons and situations in the VERY NEAR FUTURE!
* Maybe we are creating a new paradigm of healing that will CURE ANYTHING!!!
WOW! That feels sooooo much better!!!!!! What do YOU need to “Opposite George” today?
what a wonderfully powerful post! And I LOVE opposite George!
I had the good luck of finding an excellent quote today that reminded me of MEM:
“thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the one candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared”
Buddha
Indeed, *magic* only INCREASES by being shared! And now to share mine…
letting dh sleep in.
getting things we needed in an easy and stress free way.
participating in a fundraiser for Haiti in a way that was FUN!
the beautiful snow yesterday! Was anyone else blown away by how stunning it was? Those flakes were so large and mesmerizing!
thinking about Kate’s new puppies-fuzzy, yummy, wonderfulness!
not knowing what kind of magic the day holds!
Kate your opposite George’s are mine too!
My Magic:
*going to the library with the whole family and getting the book I have had on hold for weeks now…so excited to read it
*going to church tonight with my boys
*DH is finally taking a guy’s night out that he really diserves, and he gets to go watch MLS soccer with his soccer mates down at Disney World
Opposite George’s
*I am not going to tell myself I am a bad mother, instead I’ll believe what is in my heart…that I love my family with an indescribable strength
*I do not have an addictive personality and I will believe that I have self control
*I will no longer feel bored with life and instead will find the little things as thrilling as a roller coaster ride
Hubby is home!!!!
Spending the evening reconnecting with him!!!
Books, books, books!!! I love the Book Fair!!! All the possibilities… And I love focusing on the Abundance of choice instead of the lack of fund to take everything home with me. Lol!
Watching my boy going on his own and enjoying the Book Fair. How I love to see his love for books growing year after year!
Seeing people I really appreciate! Receiving their greetings like a wonderful gift from Life.
Seeing someone who used to be a friend and who I felt betrayed by and being able to casually talk to her. No harsh feelings. In fact, I felt grateful to her cause her betrayal made my actual life/family possible!!! It was a great revelation!
Witnessing the joy of my daughter when she finaly received her dance’s suit in the good size after months of waiting.
Magic
Feeling tired and not fighting it, relaxing on the sofa while the boys played
Finding some great books for pennies at the charity store
Connecting on a deeper level with an old friend
Tea in a cute little teapot
Anticipating an early night and feeling full of energy and inspiration tomorrow
Opposite George
Instead of feeling sorry for myself, angry and fearful about our financial situation I will
~ be thankful for how fun it can be to be frugal
~ take the lead from my children and find joy in everything
Carrie, I often think I need to follow my children’s lead more too. It’s amazing that they don’t even let sickness get in the way of their JOY!
-I slept well last night
-I had a beautiful conversation with my daughter today
-I am seeing my daughter and her family for dinner and we are going to Five Guy’s for a fun dinner
-A husband who works very hard to keep things going
My opposite George
-Instead of sitting in the ____, and being fearful of finances and a house robbery we had a few days ago, I got online and booked our annual camping trip and to top it all off our favorite spot was open for almost two weeks at Hammonassett. Instead of picking at each other, my husband and I were laughing like kids
-Thank-you Kate for your ingenuity, sending lots of healing energy to your house
*I took a great walk with my dog today while waiting for my car to get an oil change.
*I got up early and enjoyed the house before everyone woke up.
*Having the money to get work done on my house feels wonderful!
*I had a great day of housecleaning today. I feel so good that the kitchen floor and bathrooms are clean. My Opposite George is to feel great that there are still messy parts of the house because everything is actually clean. Usually I get nuts about everything being in its place.
I’m LOVING everyone’s “Opposite George’s”! Makes trying to live by mine today easier!
*Beaches are closed today here on Guam, until 1:11 pm when the tsunami would be expected to arrive should it hit… which means I would be thrilled to be going to the beach at precisely 1:11 today!
*Thank goodness for cartoons, they are buying me some time before I gotta do the whole breakfast shebang!
*Looking forward to hangin with friends today.
*I made some awesome breaded chicken tenders last night!
*Gonna make some beef stir-fry burritoes today! I’ve got chips and guacamole too! Mmmm…
Opposite George for me:
*I’m going to try whispering every time I have the urge to scream at my kids. I’ll make it dramatic too, just to still get the energy released (since that seems to be at the root of the screaming)… So instead of being the crazy mom screaming a lot, I’ll be the strange mother who keeps whispering every time she’s pissed… LMAO!
OMG, Shell! I LOVE this! I will remember this the next time I feel an urge to yell!
running into friends at the library
my favorite radio show celebrating Johnny Cash’s birthday with wonderful music
taking today easy
some very pretty snow showers
looking at a sweet little house
Opposite George:
Instead of stressing about yet another potential house not working out, I choose to just let go of the entire issue. I am no longer looking. I give up. When SUG wants me to move, she’ll drop it in my lap, along with the money to pay for it.
* actually getting my favorite room in the house cleaned and rearranged to suit our current needs (I’ve been planning this for ages)
* watching the kids play together in the snow as I went through paperwork and did some meal planning from my newly placed cozy chair inside.
* having a girls night out with my daughter… grocery shopping.
* my little thingfinder who found my wallet!
* being in the “zone” to prep food this weekend that will make the week sooo much easier.
* that the earthquake wasn’t as bad as it seems it could have been.
I love the opposite George thing! We’ve just finished the secret garden and it inspired me to work on a blog post about how crazy important the thoughts you think are to how your reality turns out.
my opposite george — I am going to start pretending to be the person I want to be instead of waiting for it to happen. First on my list — becoming the pissed whisperer. Love the idea and am totally gonna mack that…
Thanks Fairies!
The Pissed Whisperer!!! Yes!
I have had a big problem going on for a few weeks now and I’ve been praying and trying to contact my guides and God for guidance. Usually I get some communication, but for this problem I feel like I’ve been left on my own. I finally got some guidance. I was just told that I should stop concentrating on myself and make a conscious goal each day to go out of my way to be a blessing to at least one other person. I’ve been doing this for about 4 days now and I can’t believe the difference inside of me. I feel happier, my fiancee is happier, even my dog seems happier! I haven’t been ignoring my problem but simply turning my negative attention away from it and allowing the positive energy of the universe to work through me. In other words, I have been resisting it less. I know resistance usually makes situations more difficult, but I am a worrier by nature and find it difficult not to resist. But using this technique of doing good for others has made it so much easier. I recommend it to everyone!
MaryJo, this is so wonderful! I often do this too ~ when I’m feeling blue I wonder what I can do that’s nice for someone else. It’s amazing how well it works! I would LOVE to more about what you’ve been doing ~ it could help inspire me and others!
I think I’ll add another page for just such a thing! Thank you, MaryJo!
Okay! New page! “Random Acts of Kindness!”
http://myeverydaymagic.com/the-magic-movement/random-acts-of-magic/
I have been doing little things like complimenting someone on how they look. I know I always feel great when someone compliments me.
When I talk to someone on the phone I also have been trying to make that person feel like I am very happy to talk to them and just make the conversation a positive exchange. I think that is about just staying in the present moment without also thinking about other things at the same time. People feel when you are present.
I knew one of my mother’s friends was upset lately and called her up just to tell her that I loved her–she said it made her day.
I bought my mom a book from Amazon by a local author, John Herbert, which I think might help her with issues she is going through lately.
My sister asked if I could bring my nephew to school which I glady did. But I also offered to pick him up which involved juggling my schedule a little bit. It was a small favor but much appreciated.
So I have been doing little things like that. It’s funny but I have a feeling that the more “little” things I do, the more it will lead into “larger” more expansive acts of kindness!
