Starting Each Day

What do you do to start your day? Do you see each day as a continuation of your previous days? Or do you look at each day as an excellent opportunity to do something different, try something new, or strive to be a better version of yourself than yesterday? Is each day a sandpit to play in, time to take the next step or experience whatever you desire? If you don’t have this type of enthusiasm for life, each and every morning, what can you do to develop it?
The most important thing is to focus on gratitude as soon as you wake up. There is so much to be thankful for, and when you start with that attitude, you automatically start by looking on the bright side, not the negative. Pausing your thoughts and connecting with Source Energy or your higher power, will also help you gain clarity for the day. There is incredibly powerful guidance available if you call upon it with faith and with a silent mind to receive. During this time let action steps begin to form. What is one action you can take to improve your life or move your business forward? What is one action you can take that will bring joy into the life of another? What can you do today to help improve the world?
When you start each day with clarity about who you are and where your life is heading, then it is easy to take enthusiastic action to move forward. When you start your day with self-love and gratitude, it will be a magical day in which you can create anything you desire. Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Gaining Wisdom

How do we gain wisdom? Is wisdom learnt by reading books, attending workshops, listening to teachers or following a religious practice? Is the best way through contemplation in solitude or rigorous meditation? Is writing or journaling our thoughts and experiences a way to gain insight and wisdom? All of these might be valid paths for increasing our potential for wisdom. However, true wisdom is gained from our lived experience and only revealed in the living of our lives.

Unless you are a guru living in a cave where people come to you for advice, your wisdom will have no impact unless you live in a way where your wisdom can be shared for the benefit of others. True wisdom means that you are mindfully aware in every moment and trusting in intuition. One who is truly wise will be wise in the middle of a crowd as well as in quiet meditation. Perhaps the greatest wisdom is gained by fully immersing yourself in the variety of experiences life offers while being aware of your choices and the outcomes that those choices produce. The more you experience and the more you share mindful awareness with others the wiser you will become. You don’t want to spend your whole life chasing knowledge and at the end find that you have never experienced life. Awakening is not about knowledge… it’s about practice! Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Massive Change

I posted this image on facebook this morning and one guy commented, “Can you give examples of where and how this is happening?”
I replied, “I love meeting people and over half the people I meet are awake. Start talking about it with the people you know or talk about your crook back. It’s amazing how many people have a crook back! Mindful Love & Light Always!”
Be Mindful about what you talk about! Be authentic and you will attract the right people into your tribe. Talk about your troubles and you will find more trouble. Talk about how the world is awakening and you will find more awakened people! Just imagine if the media started to talk about mindfulness, consciousness, heartfulness and kindness.
It’s up to us! Let’s follow our spiritual prompts and sew seeds into people to help them awaken. We can make a difference in this crazy world… one person at a time! Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Quiet Time

How important is it to make daily quiet time for yourself? This can take the form of prayer, meditation, creative thinking or relaxation. It could be walking the dog or contemplation of nature and the world around you. In our fast-paced media driven culture, it is easy to rush through the day according to our to-do list. The time you spend in introspection should be the most important and even the most productive time of your day. Make it part of your schedule!
How much time do you devote to your own well-being, both physically and spiritually? Unlike the average person in our society, many of us place more importance on our spiritual growth than our physical health. Hopefully, your need is to ensure your physical wellbeing because a healthy body is needed to share your gifts with the world! In whatever way you choose, why not create time to express love for yourself in the most gentle and generous way. Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Create Your Ripple

It is always my hope that the people who are touched by my ripple, then create a ripple of their own. That way, we can change the world, one person at a time. We that have been blessed with an understanding of higher consciousness, have a desire and an obligation to share that wisdom with others. We certainly have knowledge and experience that the average human being doesn’t. The question is how to inspire others to move forward on their true life’s path in a way they can relate to?

Anyone who desires to be this kind of bridge person or way shower needs to establish some credibility. How do you overcome your innate humility to proclaim to the world that you have something of value to offer? How do you create the kind of energy and light that will influence and inspire people? I have two words for you to consider… Vulnerability and Authenticity. Perhaps it is time to step up and proclaim the expertise you have and the gifts you are offering. Go ahead… share your story and make yourself vulnerable, it’s the absolute best way to be authentic! Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Creativity

What is creativity? Do you have to be a writer, musician, artist, or similar profession to consider yourself to be creative? Couldn’t creativity simply be seeing, thinking or acting in a way that is outside commonly accepted thought or behaviour patterns? Most great advances in the world were at one time crazy thoughts by people considered to have mental disorder! Truth is, anyone who has the courage to think outside the box is actually a creative person. Making anything new is a creative pursuit.
In what ways are you creative? Do you like to envision things others think is impossible? Do you try to come up with ways to solve challenges that aren’t obvious to others? Do you envision any aspect of the world in a different way than it is now? All of these are creative thoughts. The next step is to simply take an action that can help make your vision manifest in our world. When we accept and begin to share our creativity, then it can explode into something that can truly reshape our world and that of others. Creativity is also an important aspect of developing a true mindful practice.

True Potential

What is holding you back from achieving your true potential? Do you have physical limitations that seem to restrict your energy, focus or stamina? If so, how could your living experience be a gift you could share with others? The same is true with your emotional or psychological battles. Instead of looking at aspects of your life as limitations, can you see them as lived experience that give you something very valuable to share with the world?
How you share these experiences may vary also. For some, writing is their ideal medium while others share through art of some type. Others are expert teachers or inspiring coaches. Whatever your gift is, now is a great time to begin to share it with a wider audience. Humanity needs your perspective and your voice of wisdom. Playing small and being fearful of putting yourself out there doesn’t serve you or the greater good of humanity. Why not see your limitations as strengths and be open hearted enough to share yourself with others? Making yourself vulnerable isn’t something to fear, it sets you free and becomes your superpower! We can all contribute to the consciousness of our planet in this age of awakening! Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Warning Signs

Do you scan your body and heed its warning signs? Or do you continue to push on until you get a huge wake-up call, in the form of an illness or injury? Most of us have been so indoctrinated with the work ethic that we have trouble relaxing and have lost the essential art of rejuvenation. Just as the body needs sleep at night to recuperate and repair itself, time away from stress and being on the job are essential to retain a sense of energy and purpose in what you are doing.
In fact, resting may just give you the perspective to begin to question what you are doing in your life and ensure that it is in alignment with your life purpose. When you take time to step away and truly evaluate what you are spending your life doing, it may become clear that you are not necessarily aligned with your highest purpose. The longer you remain in the busy mode, the more difficult it is to reflect and wake up to the trap you may have gotten sucked into. What is your body telling you? Is it asking for more rest and recovery time? Is it asking for more exercise or time in nature? When you learn to honour your body’s signals, you will be able to achieve a more consistently fulfilling life, filled with the joy of being on purpose in everything you do.

Change the Story

How do you make changes in your life? Let’s say you have just returned from an inspirational workshop and you have lots of great ideas. Should you try to implement them all at once? It is better to focus on one or maybe two things that you feel will have the greatest benefit. Then work out what you need to clear that is currently taking your time, in order to invest time into the new. Consciously saying no to certain habits can be very liberating, especially when you replace them with something that will be much more empowering.
Most importantly, you need to change the story around whatever you are trying to implement. For example, if it is financially related, you should catch any thoughts around doubt, fear or any sense of lack. When you notice such thoughts… be mindful… pause… connect and be grateful for what you have. Gratitude is one of the greatest energies that allows us to receive abundance from the universe. When our story supports our worthiness to receive, anything is possible! Changes can happen instantly and life can transform in the most miraculous ways. Keep practicing! Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!

Shift in Consciousness

How do you unify different views of the world? When you recognise that a shift in consciousness is happening on the planet, how do you interact with those who have no clue what is happening? Do you try to share your knowledge with them? Should you give them information and try to convince them you’re right? Save your breath! You can’t convince people of anything they choose not to believe. Nor can you help anyone unless they ask for help!

The key is to be authentic with everyone you meet and simply share love with them. Listening and empathy are the greatest leadership skills! Be the most amazing bearer of light and be willing to share your wisdom when you have a spiritual prompt to do so. But never in a forceful or judgmental way. Be an example of how awakened, loving human beings conduct themselves. Pause your mind and go within for the wisdom that will help them move beyond the collective fear into a space of understanding and joy. Be Mindful… Pause… Connect!
