What Message Are You Sending?

What Message Are You Sending?

Comments 0 Comment

Each of us create and send energy or vibes out to others and the world. That energy is then received and interpreted by others. They use the energy input to determine if and how they will react to us. This energy is being transmitted to others, constantly, and usually unconsciously. If you’re stuck in a rut or not being received the way you’d like, examine the energy you are putting out. That energy creates your present and future situation. So send positive energy to the Universe and it will come back to you in many ways, ways you’ve never dreamed of.

Are you wondering if you should make a change in your life?  Should you take that plunge?  Is it safe?

Be brave. Go ahead and make some waves. Go For It.
Be brave. Go ahead and make some waves. Go For It.

If you dare, take the plunge.  You will encounter people and circumstances along the way that are there to help you in your journey.  Sometimes your path may be a little unclear but you will find your way if you’re willing to make some waves.  If you aren’t making waves, you’re not moving forward in life.  Go ahead, make some waves, even if they’re small ones.  You’ll be glad you did.   You will be closer to being the REAL you and Living Well.

Five Human Truths

As we look at our lives from the solitude and darkness within, to the sunny landscape around us we realize each of us are very different and unique.  We all have our own voice and spirit that is unique to us.  No one else is exactly like us. As mentioned in my previous post Now Is The Time For Reflection, it’s important to take time, at least once per year, to take some personal, alone time to reflect on where we are now, if we are being true to ourselves and where we want to go in the future.

Even with this uniqueness there are some things that each of us needs, just like others around us.  The Starwood Hotels group describes them as the Five Human Truths.  They strive to fulfill them each time you are their guest.    What is it that all of us need to feel good?

The 5 Human Truths

1)  We need to be understood

2)  We want to belong

3)  We long to feel special

4)  We crave more control over our lives

5)  We dream of reaching our potential.

When you’re by yourself, reflecting on the future, be sure these basic needs as well as your unique needs are being met.  If they are, life will be easier and feel more fulfilled.

You deserve to Live Well and be the real YOU!

Are you feeling lost, don’t know what to do with your life, are you at a cross-roads, is something bothering you and holding you back?  Maybe it’s time to look inside for the answer.

While exploring the grounds of the Golden Door Spa at The Boulders Resort outside Phoenix, I came across this labyrinth. It is said to be a path to tranquility inspired by ancient Hopi medicine wheels. It is found in most Native American tribes.  Many believe they enhance and balance and awaken our inner energy and creativity.  They are a place where answers can be found.

The Shaman told me to pick a rock, and carry it as I walked through the twists and turns.  Each turn, left and right, allow your brain to use the left side and right side thereby searching and opening both sides of your brain giving you a pure answer to your problem.  These thoughts blended with the earth’s energy create new perspective, ideas and answers.

At first I was somewhat skeptical, but as I concentrated and walked slowly through the labyrinth I found my mind calming down and powerful thoughts and feelings arising.  When I reached the center, I paused and put my rock, representing my problem, onto the pile of others problems.  I released my problem, letting  it go away.

After letting my problem or old beliefs go, I walk back through the turns to the beginning while feeling and thinking about the new me, minus my old problem.  By the time I reached the beginning I felt a lightness and hope for the future, free of my old problem.

Mother nature and it’s energy and you allowing your mind to slow down can reveal answers you never dreamed of.  If you give it an honest try, it might help you too.

Do You Need Goals?

Do You Need Goals?

Comments 0 Comment

We all need  goals to get where we want to go.  Sometimes the goal is a simple as getting out of bed, or going to your favorite restaurant even if you are in your 90’s and it’s difficult to climb steps and walk very far.  Get up and keep going.

Write down your goals and write affirmations about how you’re going to achieve them.

Goals are best when stated simply with a detailed plan of how and when you’re going to achieve them.  Along with goals and affirmations, remember that “whatever you focus your mind on the most, is what you will create”.  So notice what you’re thinking about and make sure it’s something you want.

What goals do you have?

Maybe to hike 10 miles, to climb the 7 highest summits, to learn to tie your own shoe, to finish school, to start your own business, to pay off all your debt, to pay cash for everything, to retire comfortably, to have a loving relationship with a family member or friend, to lose weight or to travel the world.  Your goal can be as little or big as you want.  It’s your life, and they are your goals.  Choose wisely.

Here are two powerful statements about goals.  Think about them, they might help you achieve your dream.

1)     Dreams not written down are merely a wish.

2)    Those who do not have goals, will end up working for those who do.

So, what do you think, Do You Need Goals?
