Give Your Heart The Reigns

Sometimes there is not a logical solution to a problem. No matter how many times you dissect the problem, no matter how many different ways you approach it, no matter how many facets of it you look at, no solution presents itself.

When logic fails, stop feeding that process energy and let faith take over. And most of all focus on living in the now again.

When you are in that type of an endless loop you can completely loose yourself and your energy. There is always a solution. You are just not able to figure it out with your head. Give your heart the reigns and live in the moment.

Burns

I am always amazed how well Dr. Bach's Rescue Remedy Cream works on minor burns. I apply the cream on the burn and it instantly soothes the pain. I keep reapplying it as soon as I feel the pain coming back until it seizes to hurt. As the wound heals you can keep reapplying the cream as long as the skin is intact. It seems to me like it helps it heal faster too.

Benefit

If you are reluctant and/or resistant to change a situation that you know you need to change, or you are 'trying' to change it but it doesn't seem to change, odds are that you are still holding on to the situation because there is a benefit in it for you as perceived by you.

Ask yourself: "What am I getting out of this situation, what benefit? If you answer: "There is none", ask yourself: "If I were to guess, what would be the benefit?"

Obviously you are not consciously choosing the situation, so it may take deeper digging to get to the bottom of it. When you accept that there is a benefit in it for you, it gets easier to become conscious of what it is. Once you find the answer you can make a conscious choice as to whether you are OK with the situation as is or if you really want to change it.

Purpose Of Life

What is the purpose of life?

Here is one answer that was written on a Yogi tea bag: "The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment."

Maybe it really is just that simple. What do you think?

Find Inspiration

If you are in a rut, find inspiration. It can be as simple as googling a new recipe, checking out a new store, randomly taking a new route to work.  Look for something new to do. Reach outside of the lines you are abiding by currently and see what comes your way.

Make the conscious decision to change something. Be inspired. Find a new road.

What Is Best For You

When it comes to knowing what is best for you, it is YOU who knows best.  Keep and nurture the trust in yourself, even when it goes against what everyone else says and/or believes to be true. Only you know what you feel, think, experience and live each day. No one can possibly know you better than you.  Though others may have more knowledge on certain subjects, they can't know you as well as you know yourself.

Choose what is right for you. Believe in yourself.

Timing*

Just two days ago we started picking cherries off of one of our cherry trees. There were so many that we stopped after picking about 2/3 of the tree, thinking they would stay fresher on the tree and it would give us time to process what we harvested.

This afternoon I looked at the tree to see if there were still cherries to be harvested and there were. Four hours later however, when I got ready to pick the rest of the cherries, the tree was bare of all cherries! Wow!

It made me think of how life presents you with opportunities and it is up to you to seize the moment. Sometimes, if you wait too long, the door closes.  It is a reminder to take chances, to say 'yes' instead of thinking you will get to it later, to act instead of being passive. There is no moment like the present. If it feels right, just do it.  Harvest all the bounty. :)
