My guidance for a life well-lived.
I hope it resonates.
How's your energy?
Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been up to for the last 10 days of the Calgary Stampede - which basically consists of partying and socializing! I’ve been out 90% of the time, but each day I maintained my daily spiritual practice to stay aligned and get my energy centered and back to full.
Consistency vs Intensity
Here’s a friendly reminder for you - especially with the holidays approaching!
The consistency in which you do something is much more important than the intensity at which you do it.
Better to walk 5 days a week for 20 mins, than to walk once/week for 2 hours.
Better to meditate every day for 10 minutes than once/week for an hour.
Clarity requires responsibility
“I may not be the way you want me to be, but I am the way I want to be.”
I listened to a talk from Sadhguru. And I resonated with what he said:
Life is precious. Your life is your responsibility. ‘Not knowing’ is a great possibility. Now you become a seeker to know.
Why ‘the work’ is worth it
Working towards what you want, is the exhilarating part. Think about how often you feel so good when you’ve worked hard at something and then received the result. But was it the actual result? Or could it be all the experiences you had along the way? I believe in order to really love something we have to believe we earned it. That’s where true value and appreciation come in. And this becomes our memories. Plus, before you know it, you’re on to the next project or task, all the while thinking it’s for the result you’re after.
Do affirmations really work?
An affirmation is a positive statement that you believe or want to believe. Example: “My connections with others are meaningful and provide a positive impact.” Here’s the thing - you have many built in affirmations already within you and they have become beliefs over time. So yes, they work! Can you replace or add new ones to affect your current reality? Yes… BUT. They have to be repeated, a LOT! The time it takes to create a new belief will be dependent on how consistent you are in downloading the new information. So, for example, you might want more abundance in your life.
You don't need to change
I hope you’ve never felt like I think you need to change. My purpose here is to provide you with some ideas that help me stay centered and aligned. I do my best to be my own best friend, learn, apply and it works. I am absolutely living my best life and I want that for you as well.
