Reflection

Do you ever stop and think about how far you have come on your path?

Today take a few moments to reflect what you were like last year.  What were you doing?  What happened throughout the year?  How have you evolved?  What is different today?  What have you learned?  What worked for you?

You will be surprised how much you have grown.  :)

What Are You Worth?

You are worth as much as you believe you are worth.  It doesn't matter how many degrees you have, or how many training sessions, or how beautiful you are, etc., if you don't believe that you are smart, capable, beautiful, etc. no external achievement will make you believe it.

It all starts within.  If you don't believe you are smart, capable, beautiful, etc., ask yourself:  What is it going to take for me to believe I am?  What will tip the scale for me?

You can also try this approach:  What if I truly am dumb, incapable, ugly, etc?  What does that do for me?  Am I willing to be okay with it and move on?  How would that change my life?

End Of Day Clearing

At the end of each day, and especially very busy days, you will find it of great benefit to take five minutes  or so in which you seek solitude and peace.  Close your eyes and breathe deeply three or four times.  Find a steady rhythm and clear your mind.  Ask your Highest Support System (Angels, Spirit, God, Saints, etc. - whatever feels right to you) to join you and to kindly assist you in clearing your energetic field.  

Ask for all energies that aren't yours to be returned to their owners and for the retrieval of all energies that are yours.  Then let the process take its course.  Aid the process by consciously releasing what isn't yours and reintegrating what is.  Use whatever visual works for you.  Flow with the energy and find peace.

This simple visualization will clear your energy field and recenter you.  A wonderful thing to do especially before you go to bed.  Sweet dreams.  :)

Try, Should, Need To...

"Do. Or do not. There is no try." by Yoda (Star Wars)

Truly wise words my youngest quoted to me this afternoon.  :)  Try, should, need to, are all words you need to be on the look out for.  They embody non commitment.  Be aware that when you use these words your heart is not in it.  There is something that is stopping you from fully committing.  The same applies when you hear other people using those words.

When you catch yourself using one of these words, ask yourself: "What do I really want to do?  What do my heart and gut say about all of this?" This might save you a lot of time and effort.  :)

I Am Limitless

"I am unlimited" were the words I saw on TV for some cell phone commercial.  They were so powerful to me that I can't even remember what cell phone brand they are for...

This mantra opens all my chakras at once, especially the solar plexus (the power center) and the heart.  In the spirit of staying away from negatives I am changing it slightly to: "I am limitless". 

Say these words out loud to yourself and see how they make you feel.  I'd love to hear about it.  :)

When Do You Look Inward?

When is it time to start looking inward?  Here are ten signs that suggest you would highly benefit from starting on your inner journey...

1. You feel like you have hit a glass ceiling and can't move ahead.
2. You know you are at a crossroads.
3. You feel drained.
4. You can't sleep at night.
5. Anxiety has entered your life without warning.
6. You are not happy despite having a good income, wife/husband, kids, home, boat, fill in the blank and so on.
7. You feel depressed, though you have no apparent reason to be.
8. You can't seem to shed those extra 20-30lbs no matter what you do.
9. You have a huge urge to buy that spiffy little sports car you always wanted.
10. You are tired of feeling miserable.

Time for a change.  Time to find your inner light and shift gears.  :)

Unwritten

I love the lyrics of this song and wanted to share them with you.  It is all about opening up, knowing that you create your reality, and about becoming alive again & open to all that is around you.  Step outside your comfort zone.  The possibilities are endless.  Enjoy!

"Unwritten"

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
