The Power To Just Be…

What is life if, full of care; We have no time to stand and stare? – W.H. Davies

must figure it out

We lead a hypnotic existence most moments in the day. What does that mean? We’re lost in our thoughts, trying to figure everything out. What to buy, how to deal with certain individuals, what does s/he think of me, I’m over weight, I must do this or that….

just be

Notice your breath, know that you can rest and just life be. You can decide to be instead of do. Notice how that can be so relaxing, when you can flow with the river that life is and not care or worry. You owe it to yourself.

The Power Of Curiosity

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. – Ivy Baker Priest

expand your awareness

Why are we so one dimensional? We tend to see the world primarily through the narrow vision of our own being and experiences…

How does this limit us when…

  • Learning new ideas?
  • Relating with people?
  • Or understanding the world?

borrow someone’s shoes

How is it to think like another, see life like they do, interpret life like they would? What happens when we get into someone else’s shoes? I know I’m asking a lot of questions in this blog, but that’s the idea!

Begin Something New…

The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings. – Dave Weinbaum

you are already creative

We hesitate to move forward with our great ideas because we don’t trust our selves. We don’t think we’re creative; we stymie our future by thinking less of our selves. Give your self permission to think and know that you were born creative. And with that creative mindset figure out…

your next step

Imagine you’re that artist you want to be, the business magnate in the making! With such a perspective, what would you do next? Taking those small, definitive steps daily, will surely get you to a place far better than if you continue to live your life in a humdrum fashion.

Come on, get up, take that first step in the journey of a thousand miles, you’re a capable, effective and creative child of the Universe, there’s no stopping you!

Banish All Negativity

1 Comment

It’s the simplest properties that will help you clear yourself of negativity … The profound power of a simple prayer. The strength of a deep breath. The gentle guidance of good music. – Jeffrey Wands

become aware of the negativity

We think incessantly and we mostly think unconsciously. Because of that proclivity we often don’t know what we’re thinking. Catch yourself starting a negative chain of thoughts. Understand where and how a negative thought popped in. Once you do that, you’re awake and in the moment. Now you’re fully equipped to take charge of your mind, just the way it ought to be!

now use what’s already around you

Notice the beauty around you, appreciate it. Start listening to your favorite music. Make a prayer for strength and power. Take full advantage of your awake, conscious state. You are now in control of your emotional well-being!
