Are you over-thinking, over-analysing and losing sight of NOW?
Well, that’s something I didn’t do over the recent school holidays as I decided that ‘now’ was being with the children and putting everything else on the back burner until September. It worked a treat and we had a really relaxing and fun time.
The thing about relaxing is that it always has the most amazing effect, as it allows space for all those unconscious thoughts that have been nudging away over the months to come to the surface.
The result of this for me is a really exciting decision to take my business in a new, enriching and powerful direction. So I wanted to give you all the ‘heads-up’ that this is happening, and very soon I shall be blogging on my new niche and direction, which I know is going to be a really significant and important new way that I can help many of you who have been following me for a while and many others too.
Anyway, back to today.
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, ‘You’ve got to get out of your own way’. I’ve heard it so much this last year, and really thought I was doing all sorts of things to ‘get out of my own way’ – but nothing changed! Sad to say, it’s taken me all year to understand what it’s all about and work out how to do it!!
If you’re as puzzled as I’ve been, then relax as now is the time for your enlightenment.
It’s all about your
Are you aware of your silent gifts – indicators, messages, clues?
How do know if you are on the right path, following your purpose and fulfilling your deepest needs? And does it matter?
I absolutely believe to my core that it does. When you find your true purpose and follow it, you will be aligned and flowing with the energy that is a part of your destiny.
Begin by learning to look out for the clues. Your day to day life is full of clues as to whether or not you are taking actions that are in line and congruent, those that support your values and your path through life.
Ask yourself if you are on a path that you have chosen or is it one that has been imposed on you? If you are following the path you are on because, at some point in your life, you allowed someone else to choose that for you, that will affect your long-term sense of well-being and happiness. Where would you be more content, inspired and fulfilled?
Becoming aware of the nudges and messages that are informing you is extremely useful – essential, in fact, if you wish to change the course that you are following. They are powerful in helping you to remain on track when creating a successful and contented life which flows with ease. (And by success and contentment, I am talking about how you feel inside, not so much about material possessions).
By living life in line with your values and working to your strengths you can establish
How have your past decisions defined your future?
The reality you are experiencing today is the direct result of the decisions you have made in the past.
Consider that statement for a moment. You would not be where you are right now if you had made different decisions, whether you are happy with the outcome or not. So all of the decisions you’ve made in the past are impacting where you are today.
And there’s something really powerful about this, because it means that where you want to be tomorrow will be the direct result of the decisions you are about to make. You have total control over your goals and aspirations, and to be able to move them in the direction you want to go. I’m sure you’ve made decisions in the past that you’re not happy with, I know I have. And those have played a role in putting you where you are right now too. But this is not something that you should feel regret about – quite the opposite. Because, at any time you choose, right now if you want, you can make a new decision that will move you onto the right path. From here on, every time you make a new decision, you will just straighten out that path to your success.
The word decision comes from the Latin root, de meaning from and caedere, meaning to cut. Therefore the word decision literally means to cut from any other possibility. So in order to make a true decision it is necessary that
Why put the oxygen mask on yourself first in an emergency?
It may sound a stupid question but for the first few times I flew, I wasn’t sure why! That feels a bit daft now, but actually if you translate that most basic need to be able to function in an emergency for the benefit all into how well you look after yourself on a day to day basis, then maybe it isn’t so silly.
As you grow up and are influenced by the things that happen in your childhood, adolescence, relationships etc, the exposure that you have to both positive and negative events then becomes your conditioning, until you become aware of it and make a choice to change it.
Putting yourself first is a classic conditioning of many families that is seen to be a selfish and an unwanted way to be. But consider the emergency in the aeroplane. What good can you be to anyone if you are gasping for oxygen and about to pass out through lack of it? Similarly, how much better can you be when you pay attention to your needs? Your physical, emotional and spiritual needs from day to day, allowing you to perform better and better, not just for yourself but for all those who depend on you in all areas of your life.
Energy always flows to where you place your attention and by taking steps to actively and positively do things that will keep you fitter, healthier and more connected spiritually results in you being of far better service to everyone
