There is a big difference between a speck or a full sparkle. Are you someone who focuses on the small details and gets lost in them or are you someone who can see the entire picture or circumstance? The answer to these questions is more important than you think. If you answered yes to getting focused on all the small details, then you have speck vision. This type of vision can get things done or cause you to become overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed with speck vision can be corrected with practice. This means that sparkle vision needs to be learned. When a circumstance becomes increasingly focused on all the small details that either need to be done or could happen, the iris of the eye becomes pinpoint and laser focused on one speck. In order to develop sparkle vision, perspective is the key. For example, during the holiday planning of parties and gift giving, one can get fixated on finding the one perfect gift or getting your house prepared just right for company. In order to see with sparkle vision, one must purposefully pause, stand back, and take in the moment. Maybe after preparing your house, you sit down and take in every sight around you. This is not to look for things around you that need to be fixed, but to take in the sights, sounds, and sparkle. When we pause during the holidays, let it be to widen vision and experience the moment around us. Then we can build memories that will help us to focus less on the speck and more of the sparkle during the holidays.

The Sun is the center star of our solar system. It gives brilliant sparkling light and heat. What is at the center of our world matters even more then the physical Sun to the planet called Earth. If fear is the center of our world, then we will find ourselves in a dark black hole, instead of having a sparkling sun to light the path. If anger is the center of our world, then the sun becomes dim with outbursts and judgements of self and others. We need to choose wisely what is the center of our world. The hardest choice is peace instead of fear, as well as joy instead of anger. These choices bring the full force of the Sun into the heart and mind. The only power we have in this life are the choices we make. It is a struggle to keep our lives pointed towards the light of the Sun. In order to choose a helpful center, obstacles need to be cleared from out path. Obstacles of destructive thoughts and feelings. By challenging these obstacles with the help of others, navigating life's path becomes lighter. As the obstacles are moved, the warmth of sparkling sun can be experienced. There is power in what we choose to be the center of our universe. So, ask yourself this question: What or Who is at the center of my inner world? Then share the answer with a trusted individual who will listen and give honest feedback.

When the night sky is clear of clouds, go outside and look up. Take in the sparkling stars across the sky. Notice how each one shines as no two stars shine the same at any given time. Each star has a unique shine. Life can bring in storm clouds that can darken the outlook, yet each star is shining beyond the clouds. How does one sparkle more when life seems darkest? We need to reach out to others who seem to sparkle in the dark. Learn about how they have lived through the storm clouds and what has helped them to sparkle despite their circumstances. There are others who have been where you are at currently. Let them help you by being open and honest about what you are thinking and feeling. We were made to bear one another's burdens and to make sure no one walks life's path alone. A life coach can help guide you towards experiencing sparkle more. It only takes a message to reach out. Give it a try.

Holidays seems to bring out the worst in people, because of hurtful circumstances that they are or have experienced throughout the year. There isn't any sparkle or strength felt within. What if this year instead of avoiding the holidays, we look for a pinch of sparkle. This can be discovered by reminiscing about past holidays that were joy filled. Think of your favorite dessert at Christmas or song. Then make that dessert and listen to that song. Sometimes life's hurtful circumstances can drain us of everything, including the memories. We have the privilege of keeping those memories fresh in the present moment. Each memory whether joy or sorrow filled can be a sparkle of strength. It is when we choose to remember the past memories that we have taken the step towards the sparkle returning. It may seem small and insignificant to remember memories. Think of this as gaining a sparkle of strength in processing the present moment. Even a pinch of sparkle can ignite us towards strengthening. A spark of remembrance can change feelings and attitudes. Give it a try. Maybe even journal those memories to share with others who may need a little sparkle.

Take a minute when you are outside to take in the vibrant color of leaves on the trees. Then ponder this question: Why do the leaves of trees not all change color at once? Maybe a tree has to go through many harsh days in which the temperatures drop overnight. As this happens, the true inner beauty of color unfolds for but a brief time before the cycle of nature occurs again. It can be hard for those who go through many harsh days of anger, frustration, and disappointment in life. These harsh days do come and go over time. A tree goes through a cycle of dormancy, budding, maturity, sparkling leaves every year. Our lives can go through a similar cycle only if we learn how to navigate through. There are parts of the cycle of life that can literally cause us to get stuck. Think of the circumstances that play over and over in your mind that you just can't seem to resolve or finish. Next, determine which stage of the life cycle are you stuck in. For example, after a devastating loss of a loved one, we may get stuck in the dormancy phase of grief. This is a stage void of feelings, thoughts, and plans. With grief there is a processing through this cycle. It isn't a one time and done kind of cycle, but it is important to allow oneself to go through the cycle until a hint of sparkle can be felt within. There can be vibrancy seen even in the worst circumstances. It is a gradual change. Pause and take some time to look up at the trees this week to see how the sunlight causes a colorful sparkle. Let this be a reminder that all of life's circumstances have a cycle.

You have the ingredients to sparkle. Each one of us has unique gifts and talents that we are born with. It is just a matter of discovering what those ingredients are. You may love people and parties because you were born with a sanguine personality with the gift of gab and generosity. Then there are people who love to organize and lead because you were born with a phlegmatic personality with the gift of vision and determination. This is your unique sparkle. Even though others may have been born with the same personality, your experiences and encounter in life add a distinct sparkle that no one else has. It is with these ingredients that our sparkle can become bedazzling. So, by embracing this uniqueness, we can bring the bling from us to others. Take notes and get out there and sparkle girl!

We need the warm sparkle of the sunshine to help things grow. Without the sun there would not be any trees, flowers, or food to enjoy. We can lose sight of the sun when life becomes filled with stress, fear, and anxiety. There is no nourishment or growth when this happens. When we find time for self-reflection, we can do a checkup of internal thoughts, mood, and attitude that is present. Ever asked this question, "How are you doing self?" Then taken the time to hear your response. Self-reflection helps us stay in the sunshine by giving ourselves time for discovering or uncovering what maybe blocking the sun. Maybe fearful thoughts are blocking out the sun and need to be challenged. It could be that life has huge amounts of stress, and we need to discover ways to unwind and relax. We need to stay connected to sources of sunshine to feed our sparkle. Our life coaches can help you discover what can feed your sparkle.

It only takes one spark to ignite a fireworks of sparkle. There are many things that can help spark a shift in perspective. When life becomes difficult, burdensome, or hard, a spark is all that is needed. We all have the potential to burst forth with eye popping gloom or sparkle. When you see fireworks on display, your first response is key. If you respond with awe and wonder or oohs and aahs then your focus is outward centered. If you do not respond or dismiss the fireworks, then your focus is stuck inward. For someone to receive a spark that can shift perspective and outward focus is needed. Otherwise the spark will implode within ourselves causing hurt as well as burst out onto others. The spark needed is different for each person. So pause and ask yourself, What is one thing that has moved me towards a beneficial shift in my thinking? Maybe I need to try this again repeatedly until I feel that shift. Some examples could be going for a walk, taking a nap, or watching a comedy to help you laugh. Sometimes a simple action can be the spark that ignites our sparkle again.

If you are going through a very difficult time in your life, it can seem like you are in complete darkness not knowing which direction to take, as there is no light. Just as one lights a candle with a sparking match, there is opportunity to find your sparkle. Many times, this happens when we seek out others to share about the dark times of life. These individuals just by listening can take our hand and gently guide us into the light. Other people can give us their sparkle when we cannot find our own. We were never made to live life all alone. Think of the names of people in your sphere that have helped you with their sparkle when your life was dark. Practice giving mental or verbal gratitude for these individuals. Maybe send a text or card thanking them for helping you. If you can't think of someone like this, we have life coaches here that can fill in that gap. Give the Women's Center a message or phone call.

This holiday season that is approaching like it does every year can feel like a burden, but what if something sparkling could catch the eye? This season we are going to look at ways to find the sparkle moments. Just as the sun's rays can shine upon the hard concrete and produce a sparkle, we can too. This is not another positive thinking that is supposed to change your attitude. This is a purposeful pause of the mind to focus in on the here and now. Let us walk this path together to find your unique sparkle.

What kind of self-expectations bring more connection with your true identity? If someone has a perfection expectation of self, this will cause a disconnect. Perfectionism is like trying to fit the wrong piece of puzzle into a connection that just doesn't fit. The picture of the puzzle will look off if that piece is left in the wrong place. When the expectations we have towards ourselves do not lead to a deeper and more meaningful place of connection within, it's time to discover what does fit. Ask yourself, do the expectations I have for myself bring peace and joy? If the answer is no, then new expectations are needed. The first step to developing new self-expectations is to discover how you were uniquely made/hard-wired. Do you know what type of personality, temperament, or strengths you have been gifted with? This is what life coaching can help you to discover. Then you change your expectations of self because you will have defined your true identity. You can start your journey today with a life coach. Message the Women's Help Center and a life coach will contact you.

What is your first response to delayed expectations? Anger, Anxiety, Frustration? What if a delayed expectation is a time to embrace and grow? If the view of our expectations not occurring causes an emotional upheaval, then this could cause someone to become very unbalanced. How does one regain that sense of balance, the key word is safety. What is one thing that causes you to feel safe? Maybe it is spending time alone, doing an activity that promotes joy, or taking a walk. When expectations are unbalanced/delayed, the brain needs to process all the thoughts and feelings that get triggered. It is important to give yourself time and space to work through everything. Peace and patience can help us regain balance in the waiting for expectations to work themselves out. Sometimes the expectation is unbalanced, the mind and body are unbalanced or both occur. It's what we do in the delay that matters not the outcome. Growth can occur if we start focusing in on the moment we are in and what will help us, help ourselves. Only, we know what positive things will help because each person and circumstance are different. Maybe today is the day to try some self-regulation and self-reflection as these are two things that can help us to grow and develop a new helpful skill. Life is full of long delays for everyone. The key is how will I wait in those moments.
