On a psychological or spiritual level, our thoughts, word and actions are continually influencing our lives, not only for this moment, but in continuing ripples that reverberate over time. As I wrote in my last post, sometimes seeds take a long time to germinate, and then more time to bear fruit.
So, what are you planting? Weeds or flowers?
For me, weed seeds would be ideas, words and actions that reflect judgment, scarcity, criticism, doubt, struggle and other negativity, such as:
- Speaking ill of other therapists
- Constant complaining about how bad things are
- Keeping clients that you aren't a good fit for (because you want the $)
- Trying to cheat someone financially, or be cheap with them (not pay their fee, etc)
- Being critical of others efforts at growth or expansion
For me, flower seeds would be ideas, words and actions that show gratitude, creativity, abundance, flow, compassion and faith. That would include doing things such as:
- Referring out to other therapists when it's right to
- Speaking confidently and open-heartedly about your work
- Open-heartedly helping others around you
- Brain-storming new business ideas
- Doing Self-care
- Giving back financially to where you are spiritually fed
Remember, if you plant weeds, you're going to need to pull them at some point! And one characteristic of real-life weeds is that if you let them grow and turn to seed, they turn out a prodigious amount of new seed!
Best, Your Grateful Guy
