Wondering What If?

Do you ever wonder what life would have been like if you had made a different choice at some point in your life?  Or do you accept all the choices you have made?

These are two opposing points of view.  Is there a right or wrong one?  Who knows.

Personally, I find it hard to regret choices I have made because any choice I made led to experiences that made me who I am today.  Regretting what could have been only leads to making you feel bad, disempowered, and helpless.  It also keeps you stuck in that moment in time when the decision was made.

If there is something you wish had happened, there is no moment like the now.  If it is something you really want, it is never to late to get it, do it, and/or make peace with it.  Instead of reminiscing, put that energy towards creating today's reality and making your dreams come true.

Asking For Forgiveness

Just as important as giving forgiveness is asking for it.  We are all human, we make mistakes.  Instead of ignoring knowing you did/were wrong, make it right and apologize.

Similar to showing vulnerability, asking for forgiveness is also a strength and something you do for your well being as much as for the other person.  Find your strength and face what you didn't do so well.  If you ignore it then it becomes one more layer you will need to work on some other time.  It is like trying to hide dirt under the rug.  Soon the rug will be floating on dirt.

Saying you are sorry and asking for forgiveness starts the healing process, maybe not always for both parties, but as long as it is heartfelt it will be for you.

Inner & Outer Balance

When you are focused on looking inward, sometimes you forget to also look outward and be aware of those around you, especially those you love.  As always, balance is key...though the inner journey is very important, life does go on.  Find the balance between both.  Your loved ones will give you ample opportunity to help you stay balanced as long as you keep an open line to them and you remember to listen and see them.  When the opportunity arises be open to it and be there for the other person.

In a way you are putting your inner learnings into practice by interacting with someone in the now, thus recreating your personal balance as well as gaining a new perspective.

Express Thankfulness

Whenever I do subtle energy work, I ask for 'my highest support system' to join me and assist me.  I can feel their presence and support.  While I am always thankful for it, I have been neglecting to take the extra moment to thank them for their help.

Today I added thanks and gratitude when I asked for their assistance.  Their response was an immediate shower of gratitude and love in return for the recognition.  It made me smile and of course it felt great.  It was a sweet reminder to be thankful for their presence, love and support.

Whether you can feel, see or hear them, or even if you can't, know they are there at your service, ready to assist you anytime you ask them to (you do need to ask!) and know that they like to be acknowledged too.  Thank them for all they do.  :)

Commitment To Change

Tired of your same old story?  Tired of always trying to please everyone?  Tired of over analyzing everything in your life? Etc.

Make a change today!  Make the commitment to change your story:  Only say things that make you feel good.  Make the commitment to be true to yourself first before you cater to everyone else.  Make the commitment to give your brain a rest and feel with your heart.  See where it takes you.

Know that these 'habits' have taken a lifetime to form and won't be changed overnight.  Implement baby steps: Every time you catch yourself back in your old habit, remember your commitment.  Write it down on a piece of paper or many pieces of paper and keep them handy.  Reread your statement(s) as many times as you need until it becomes second nature.

Remember to praise yourself too when you start noticing changes in you!  Every time is a great accomplishment!!!

Unknowns

What do you believe you deserve in your life?  Truly, deep down, what do you believe you are worthy of?  Do you believe you deserve a miracle in your life?  Or maybe even many miracles?  Or no miracle at all?  Have you ever stopped to wonder why you do or don't?

Many people believe they are not worthy of a miracle or are even scared to experience one.  Choosing to close one's eyes and turn away is 'easier' to handle.  Fear of the unknown and "supernatural" is very common.  Science and logical thinking rules our world.  Coming into balance with the unknown is crucial though to embracing all of who we are.

Intuition, faith, trust, and spirituality are all "unknowns" which have the potential to enrich our lives beyond our expectations and stretch us way beyond our current limits and limitations.  Explore these unknowns and make them a part of your reality.

Seize The Moment

Seizing the moment and being spontaneous can be very invigorating and always enriching.  Be open to opportunities and adventures when they come along.  Be willing to shift gears when the unexpected comes knocking on your door.

Sometimes it is easier to turn your back on them because they might seem like work, or you feel tired, etc.  Everyone deserves a change in pace, everyone can benefit from an adventure once in a while. Make sure you do when it comes your way.  :)
