What Oscar Could Learn from the Hawaiians
By Ellen
Oscar the Grouch is a green unkept monster who has a gruff disposition and takes pride in being magnificently rude. He likes pestering, making a noisy racket, and collecting trash, and oh does he love his trash, anything dirty or dingy or dusty, anything rotten, or ragged or rusty… So, what makes Oscar such a grouch? Could it be that he has too much mental, emotional, and physical stuff?
I’ve learned through the years that everything in the Universe is energy. Many people are like Oscar in that we don’t have healthy tools for dealing with our annoyances, and this negativity gets stored inside our body, stashed away until it breaks down or is released, usually in a grouchy fit of anger.
Oscar is forever collecting physical trash, getting annoyed by everyone, and sulking before walking back to stuff his emotions and belongings into his trash can.
Just like Oscar, society has a habit of stuffing negative emotions until they surface out of nowhere, and then panic, signaling that something is wrong. We then turn to food, drugs, or alcohol to push those feelings back down below the surface until those emotions turn into disease.
However, when Hawaiians feel sad, they weep; if they feel anger bubble up, they express it and allow it to dissipate. They express their gratitude for the release and have faith. They listen to their Mind-Body-Spirit. Their goal is to remain calm, clear, and congruent with everyone around them at all times.
Hawaiian’s practice Ho’Oponopono.
Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian technique for forgiveness and spiritual self-healing. The Hawaiian word "pono" literally means “To Right,” or correct, make right by cutting the “AKA,” sticky stuff, or unhealthy connected ties with the negative emotional baggage. Hawaiian’s practice releasing their emotions daily while retaining the learning and rebuilding of new healthy connections.
Their goal is to maintain feelings of congruency and calmness, so that everything feels right in the world. It's feeling so totally at peace with a person or situation that nothing needs to be said.

Oscarize
By Debbie
Yes, Oscar here… I want your trash …all those thoughts swarming through your head every morning when you wake up, all day long, and every night before you go to bed!
Give them all to me!
They are worthless to you, but I can pack my trashcan with all of them!
I want you to Oscarize them all! All the negative thoughts.
How do you do that you ask????
I was so hoping you would!
You write them down on a piece of paper and Oscarize them. (Oscarize - Trash them) They then become mine. 😊
You say….. You have none?????
I heard you just think…"I don't have time."
That thought needs to be Oscarized.
Replace it with "I can find the time to do that"….(if you want to do it).
What about that thought about your boss yesterday….."Why is she doing that???"
That thought needs to be Oscarized.
Replace it with "I wonder if she is stressed and needs some help."
What about that negative thought about your sisters' interactions with your mom yesterday? "Why couldn't she just support Mom?"
That thought needs to be Oscarized.
Replace it with "My sister sees things differently than I do. She has different expectations of people. It's amazing how our different lives change the way we look at things."
If you find that a particular negative thought keeps popping into your head you may have to take more drastic steps….rip it up, throw it in a fire resistant container and burn it. Really make a double whammy Oscarized statement!
And once you start Oscarizing your thoughts you are going to feel happier, more carefree, more like Big Bird, loving everyone! A weight will be lifted from your shoulders and Oscar will hold them all for you, happily!

Have a Grouchy New Year
By Denna
Every January we commemorate the start of a new year while reflecting on the year we are leaving behind.
We look forward to new experiences while saying good-bye to the difficulties of the prior year.
However, when the calendar flipped to 2023, I experienced something different this year. The things some people said were a bit melancholy this time. Their energy was different. There was a lack of excitement for things to come, with a focus on having “gotten through” another tough year.
“Thank God 2022 is over…”
“I’m so happy to leave 2022 behind!”
To those who felt this way ➡️ What are you trying to NOT carry forward into 2023? What is it from 2022 that you want to trash?
We all experienced this past year in a different way. But generally, I think we can agree that it was a bit rough. Either globally or with our own personal challenges.
I recall a skit I saw with Oscar the Grouch and The Late Show host Stephen Colbert:
Colbert: “Even you have to admit Oscar, things are really messed up right now.”
Oscar: “Oh I know and I love it!”
Colbert: “You do?”
Oscar: “Sure. When things go wrong, it cheers me up. And I can’t stand being cheered up, so that makes me grouchy again. And I LOVE being grouchy. He he he.”
Sometimes life can be hard and feels unfair. But it’s our perspective on the difficulty and our reactions that really matter. I think we all can learn to tap into our inner Grouch and change our perspective.
I love how Oscar twisted the situation into a perspective that makes him happy!
Reflection is an important tool for helping us move forward ➡️What have I done or not done last year? What can I do differently for the new year?
This won’t feel complete unless you add perspective ➡️What about this brings me joy? What can I get excited about?
Reflection + Perspective = A Successful New Year
This year, it isn’t about starting over. Its’ a continuation of the progress you are already achieving.
⭐ Reflect on where you’ve been
⭐ Celebrate what you’ve accomplished
⭐ Have fun with what excites you
With this perspective shift, I know you can make 2023 a great one. 🥰 You’ve got this!
