Time for simplicity can look like these grass stalks against green background

It’s Time For Simplicity

For the past few months, I realized it’s time in my life for simplicity and I took a nice long break from all that involved creating my passion projects.

Why?  Because the work behind creating and marketing my heartfelt projects became a grind.

When I retired early back in 2013…it was actually more like instantaneously quitting…I finally had the time to create what I wanted to create.  To create something meaningful to me.

Except…

From Auto-Pilot and Non-Awareness to Creating Inner Peace

From Auto-Pilot and Non-Awareness to Creating Inner Peace

This is the first in a series of posts to discuss the benefits of a morning awakening practice. In this blog post, Sara speaks about the challenges of contrast in our very human lives. She speaks about how allowing ourselves and others to be who and how they are is a practice of self-awareness and ultimately self-care and self-love. It’s in the most challenging moments that afford us the opportunity to love ourselves in all moments rather than “try to be better”. Inner peace might be a result of perhaps allowing ourselves and others to be.

Help Yourself and the World During Chaotic Moments

Assist Yourself and Humanity During Chaotic Moments

Often it’s in life’s painful moments that offer an opportunity to practice. To practice becoming more conscious about your power to positively shift the energy on the earth. When we process something as being upsetting we can look at it as an opportunity. I wonder what will happen now? What will people choose? More importantly, what will I choose? And so we begin the practice of observation without judgment. That part takes extra practice. I know I’m still working on non-judgment. Though judging others is not to be confused with having opinions about the chaos or troubling incident. Experiences lead to opinions and opinions can lead to clarity. Judgment is not assisting anyone.

Within Your Life Muck Transformation Awaits

Within Your Life Muck, Transformation Awaits

Do you ever feel that you have unpleasant experiences in your life that are asking you to look at them?  But you can’t be bothered because you avoid feeling unpleasant.  You’re aiming for awesome, even if you have to force it.

However, there’s a reason you’re prompted to look because, at some point, it will serve you well.  Until you take a look and work through the troubling part of your life, you will continue to feel somewhere in the range of blah to awful.   It’s understandable that you don’t want to feel these kinds of feelings.  It’s so much easier to pretend there’s nothing to look at.

You’ve probably experienced that it’s the messy and darker areas of life that hold the greatest gifts.  They’re hiding in our muck.  It’s a little bit of a treasure hunt to uncover them.

If you’re feeling that you’re standing smack in your own muck, that’s great news!  You’re being asked to take action and grow.  Things will get better.

You don’t like your muck?  I don’t especially like mine either!  But, stay with me here…

Rebalancing My Energy

Does change throw you off? Change can be beneficial but still challenging and stressful. Change is an opportunity to take on new experiences and evolve one’s life. My husband and my recent move brought up a lot of feelings and of course changes in our habits. Once I understood that I needed to rebalance myself energetically things the weirdness dissipated. Now we’re thriving from the recent change.

Maintain Joy And Higher Vibration

Maintain Joy And Higher Vibration

First I want to say that I sometimes gossip. If someone hurts my feelings my go-to is complaining about that person to another friend. What I’m learning is that I feel awful when I do that. That constriction are my intuitive feelings coaching me to do something more supportive for myself.

If I want to create my higher vision and ideas then I will need all the assistance I can get. That means getting out of my own way and enabling something better.

When you feel yourself going gossipy just notice how you feel in your gut area/power center/solar plexus chakra. The more you notice how you feel the more you’re training yourself how not to go there the next time. It takes self-awareness to make positive habits stick. The more you take on lighter thoughts and words the more you’ll be creating lighter life experiences. It all comes down to the energy system that we are. Our natural space is to stand in our power as in light and love. When you’re in that space you should feel expansive, confident, lighthearted, and able to let things slide off of you more. When you speak up to another you’ll do so with confidence, kindness, and still be able to get your point across to state your feelings and opinions. This is you taking care of your needs from a position of true strength and power.

How Music Positively Transforms Us

It can transport us to a daydreamy state and lift us to new heights. We lose track of time and go within to access its gifts.

Distancing Myself From Negative Nellies

Distancing Myself From Negative Nellies

There’s no law that says I have to figure out how to feel awesome while in the presence of negative people. What if I don’t have to expend any energy and effort on how to work at it. I can choose to remove myself from their presence and go on my merry way. There’s nothing wrong with me if I’m not able to enjoy someone’s company, particularly mean people. If it looks like an unpleasant situation then I can take myself out of it. And it takes little to no effort to do so. Done. Problem solved.

No News is Good News

No News Is Good News

Human beings like things to be easy but expect big beneficial change to be difficult. That’s we get stuck in the same old paradigm of looking to political leaders to fix things. But how’s that working out for humanity? The news aggravates and accentuates humanity’s supposed divisiveness. It isn’t helping to be that kind of informed.

For most, it’s easier to watch the news and feel disgruntled rather than creating beneficial experiences. But sitting, watching, discussing, and bitching does nothing beneficial. It just contributes more doom and gloom. And, doom and gloom isn’t a great recipe to inspire positive action. It’s a motivator for more doom and gloom.

A better motivator is realizing one’s own unique and individual personal power. It may not come with a political institution attached to it but it’s powerful nevertheless. True beneficial change happens when each of us steps us to act in peace, practice compassion, tolerance, and patience to collaborate and cooperate.

It Can Be A Real Drag But People Are Great Teachers

It Can Be A Real Drag But People Are Great Teachers

My serving on my homeowners board is a microcosm of the larger political institution in our country. There’s politics, misinformation, anger, hate, frustration, distrust, paranoia. Did I mention misinformation?! I had to learn that I always have a choice. There’s no rule or law that says I have to stay in a horribly negative environment. I had the opportunity to walk and return to peace, joy, calm, cooperation, collaboration, trust, compassion, and patience. But unfortunately, I wanted to control the situation thinking that would make everything better. It didn’t. This was a lesson for me in letting go and allowing others to be who they are. At any point in time, I could have resigned and returned to where I’m experiencing something so much kinder and lovelier.
