Off Track?

We all have days where we seem a bit less confident in our abilities to make smart decisions, or sometimes even walk a straight line.

It is those days when our vulnerabilities are heightened, our heart s may race a bit faster than we are comfortable with.

These are the days we need to pay most attention to, in terms of our emotions, and what they mean. This is the time of most importance. You are trying to tell yourself something, and you are hoping at this time, you will please just listen.

Sometimes it takes a vision while vulnerable, to get the big picture.

What is your soul trying to tell you?
What is it that you can do to gain awareness that can keep you from falling too hard that you may scratch more than what could have just been the surface?

Bumps and bruises heal; and scars are our life’s lessons.

But we can also be sure to make better decisions to create less of a freightened fall, and allow for our breaths to be taken away by love, rather than fear.

Simply Irresistible

“That which you resist persists”
A statement that many of us may wish to be untrue.
What you consciously try to ignore, you are actually putting more energy to, than if you were to be proactive in seeing it, acknowledging , accepting as true, and dealing with it. Finally, being able to then release it, and move on…

What in your life are you resisting? That if you actually handled it, this would allow you to open up to a whole level of understanding, and compassion.
The many exterior instances, people, and experiences that we resist are a direct reflection of our actual resistance within ourselves, and about ourselves, and our fears, flaws, and percieved failings.

So, take a look- not around you; not in front of you; not beside you; but instead within you. Look in the mirror… As much as you would like to turn a blind eye sometimes, if you can be open with yourself about what scares you, you are that much closer to seeing something many of us may never in a million years have the opportunity to see with our own eyes.

Face It

Can you imagine all of the things you have ever procrastinated in your life?
Can you imagine, if you think of how old you are times by how many things per year you average procrastinating plus whatever amount of years you believe you have left equals how many things you will have procrastinated in your life?

Now, think of how many things you decided to just go and do, after much procrastination, and realized it really could have been less worry some had you just done it in the first place…

Now;
Minus the number of procrastinations that you just added to the number of years you decided you thought you may live from now until your end of living…

Sit back, and relax…
Worry can take years of your life.
Enjoy all the worry you just saved yourself for the rest of your life.
Good on you for adding them back!

Character Witness

The world is fast, and furious. We have so many issues to face as soon as we open our eyes for yet another day of chaos, stress and responsibility.





Within this time, we are hopeful to have quality time set aside for all the exciting things we surround ourselves with, and also important- quality time for ourselves, and for others!

But it is not solely the quality time that is crucial- but the qualities we bring to the table while nurturing these quality relationships.

We can have many loved ones, and “not so loved” ones in our lives who would jump at the chance to witness and voice the supposed character traits we possess.

But have you witnessed you?

How do you show up in your relationships?
Uptight? Upright? Forthright? Always right?

We teach people how to treat us, but we also react to
people’s beingness, whether being strong in character,
or outright “out of character.”

The moral of the story is:
What character are you playing?
And are you afraid to play yourself?

Wind Tunnel

Do you ever notice the more you stay stuck on doing the same things, over and over again, the less progress you actually attain?
It is like a wind tunnel... you are- what you may think of as focused- but all the while you are stuck in a tunnel vision,
that is not allowing you to progress anywhere.
You are so adamant that you must remain in this place, you will not look outside of this zone, possibly with consciously knowing
that your subconscious may catch on that there is bigger and better. We feel comfortable doing things we know, and feel
that if we continue to do these things, we can only get better at them. Seems logical.
This does not include, of course, situations that we have in our lives repetitive,
but allowing us to thrive. For instance passions with our talents, etc.

But as a human being, though we are creatures of habit, we also thrive in varied environments.
We cannot acknowledge our strengths, be able to push ourselves to limits to allow personal
growth, if we remain stagnant, in a life without change.

What parts of your life are you actually living in a wind tunnel?
Is it causing more damage than if you were to proceed ahead?
What are solutions that will enable you to go through this process,
and allow for unimaginable results?

It is better to try and find out something may not be what you want, than never giving yourself the opportunity to try in the first place.

We cannot control the weather, death or taxes- but if we can change the direction of our own personal storms, then perhaps we have more control than we give ourselves credit for.

And, I cannot promise that with more credit,
this will help out your taxes, or make
you live to 120- but I can promise, that while here on earth,
there will be many more calms than storms.

Its gotta count for something.

Free Your Mind

How many stories surround our thoughts on any given day.
Of all these stories we create in our reality, only a select few are actual non-fiction, and need humouring.
We are so easy to assume, presume, and resume thinking things that create stress, worry and above all unhealthy emotions
that, though we may not realize, residually manifest such dis-ease within our heart, souls, and worse- physical bodies; that can be prevented.

These many stories are created by our egos, and therefore, insecurities- by allowing one thing to "slide", when if only communicated, right away, we would really be able to deal and actually let go.

Without a doubt, all of us at one time or another have not mentioned something seemlingly small but only since we didn't want to burden those we love, as we felt it could be "let be."

But there is a difference between letting go, and letting something fester inside of us, that turns into something manifested into bigger than it ever was, now more burdening on the health and wellbeing of our relationships.

If we can communicate our thoughts, worries, fears, and, yes, our insecurities, as vulnerable as that feels,
we can create a harmony within ourselves and others we choose to surround ourselves with.

And we must surround ourselves with relationships that allow us to be open and honest, and be ourselves.
Comfort is knowing that you can mention when need mentioning.

If it needn't be communicated, and you are certain you are able to "let go", don't mention it-
but if you are in any feeling uneasy about anything, communication is the key that will unlock any
door standing in your way of love, fulfillment and the pursuit of happiness.

And, it just feels good- so do it!

Self Serve

It always seems as though we are much more willing and seemingly able to lend a hand and help out others, when they are in need.

When it comes to “self”, we are more hesitant about putting ourselves first, or creating our lives and all that surrounds us, to be comforting and sufficient.

Driving the other day, I realized my gas tank was running on empty, and I waited until “Gas Tank Low” light came on. You would think this would prompt me to take action immediately… Still I waited until I knew I had hopefully just enough gas to get me to the station to fill up.

This got me thinking. Why do I do this?
In other areas of my life, I realized I let things run on almost empty before I take care, to refresh, renew and regroup, and this causes not only physical exhaustion, but stress to get too much done at once, causing me to feel overwhelmed. This could have very well be prevented, had I just tended to the issues at hand when I knew they needed tending to.

Very simple, this may seem-but in reflection, I see that I am last to be served, when in fact I should self serve first and foremost, as it will allow for a healthier well being, in all aspects, be it emotional, physical, intellectual or spiritual.

We need to Self Serve. By doing so, we create a fine balance in our lives and our relationships.

Self Serving is not a selfish act- quite the opposite.
