It’s been an inspirational year. We started in January 2015, and I declared this would be a year long commitment. My desire was and continues to be that you will grab possibility and make it your reality! I’ll connect with you again. Embrace your new beginning! Be the light…
HOMEWORK:
What do you want your new beginning to feel like?
What inspires you?
Today, people in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving. People around the world have learned that giving thanks throughout the everyday increases an abundant flow that is greater than money. It encourages richer relationships, increased sharing, belonging, living fully, peace of mind, wisdom and love of life!
HOMEWORK:
What are you thankful for?
List who are you thankful for in your life?
Stare at a perfect rose long enough and you will find an imperfection. People are no different; our imperfections gives us our life lessons to learn. Those imperfections are what makes us human, and dare I say interesting? Welcome to the human race, perfectly imperfect people!
HOMEWORK:
What advice would you give someone to help them accept their imperfections?
What advice would you give yourself?
The other day, someone I care about did something that hurt my feelings. I felt the full impact of fear. My body was heavy, tight and tired. While sitting still with the fear, my mind opened enough for me to realize fear isn’t our natural state of being. It is natural to feel light and buoyant and curious. That shift in awareness allowed me to feel alive and love again.
HOMEWORK:
The next time you feel heavy, can you shed light on what you fear?
How can you bring yourself back to your natural state of being – – alive and loving?
You are powerful! Look at what you have created in your life. It does not matter whether you wanted the life you have or not; if you accept the notion, you created it. By accepting it, you now get to use the power you have to change what you don’t like and give thanks for what you do have that you want!
HOMEWORK:
Are you willing to accept your personal power to evoke change?
Are you using your personal power to create good for yourself and others?
We spend so much time thinking about what we don’t want. Let’s imagine what we do want! Begin to cancel every thought you don’t want and actively replace it with statements that support what you do want to see in your life. While you are imagining what you do want, allow yourself to feel the joy associated with what you do want. These feelings reinforce the thought thereby helping to attract/align to what you want!
HOMEWORK:
Does imaging what you do want make you smile?
Doesn’t it feel good to focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want?
We were all born with dignity. As babies, we cried out for what we needed; and more often than not, those needs were met. Somewhere along the life path, we were taught to stop asking for what we wanted as if it were not dignified to have what we want and need.
As adults, let’s reclaim the dignity in seeking what we need. Let’s be brave enough to expect our needs to be met!
Homework:
What thoughts hold you back from asking for what you need?
What can you do for yourself and what can you ask others to help you with today?
You can release the things you are holding onto from your past and, if you are like me, letting go of it was a pull and tug situation. How do you let go “effortlessly” the things that have hurt you? I read recently that you can affirm to joyously release the past. I had never thought of that as a possibility, but I do now! The benefit is you are also able to affirm “I am at peace”!
Homework:
Do you want to hold on to your past or be at peace?
Do you wish to be joy filled or dismayed on your life’s journey?
Every one of us has open hurts likely from an incident or two in our past. What are you pouring into those wounds? Are you pouring cement or love? Cement hardens us; but love opens us up to infinite possibilities. Choose wisely what you pour because if you do not transform your pain, you will transmit it to the people you care about…
Homework:
Do you find yourself hardening your outer shell to keep others out?
Do you have any possibilities that require you to pour more love?
When you dream of a new desire, dream up! What does that mean? Make every dream higher than you think you are capable of reaching. Don’t dream small; believe you deserve better than you could have imagined yesterday!
Do you believe you deserve better? If you answered yes, take your dream to the next level. Let us know what you accomplish.
Homework:
Where can you dream up in your life?
