Are you working from a place of inspiration or perspiration?

Greetings to You ~

Have you been reminded lately that you're working at an extreme and frantic pace and it's not working for you?  Does it feel like a restriction of energy where even simple tasks begin to feel like a struggle?  A telltale sign is when the thought of having fun sounds like an effort.

Working harder and getting less accomplished is a frustrating experience.

If you're feeling like your groove or your rhythm is off it's a reminder to call your energy back.  Stop moving up stream and remember how it feels to be in the flow.

What are your rituals that help you stay in a good feeling place?

  • meditation
  • journaling
  • going for a walk
  • an exercise routine or yoga practice
  • eating home cooked meals
  • getting enough rest

For some of you a vacation may come to mind and that may very well be what you need for extreme recharge.  You also need to find your regular rhythm when you return, otherwise you're on a roller coast that keeps you out of balance and living for the next holiday.

It may feel counter intuitive when there are deadlines, real or self-imposed, looming over you.  But it will create clarity and focus and help you work from a place of inspiration which is ultimately more efficient.

Frantic, scattered and overwhelm energy is simply a call for you to come back to a place of Spirit.

Let your heart lead you rather than your mind.

Peace and Joy ~

Are you finally ready to lovingly let go?

Greetings to You ~

Yesterday's blog was about transition and changing from one condition to another.

We often associate "physical healing" with our body but it's also your personal space and living environment.  Clearing clutter from your environment can be part of a healing process.

Whether it's work or personal items we often keep things that no longer bring value to our life.  You can honor the past by going through files and reports and consider this, "What can you let go of?"

If you're transitioning from a place of employment honor the work that you've done and give yourself permission to let it go.  It's a process of creating space and it's liberating.

Peace and Joy ~

Did you know this about change?


Greetings to You ~

How easily do you adapt to transitions in your life?  Are they smooth, bumpy or do you feel you're in a holding pattern?

Whether you recognize it or not you're constantly adapting and changing to new conditions in your life.  Even the seasons bring a transition where you shift from one different cycle to a new one.  

The dictionary meaning for Transition (noun) is the process or a period of changing from one condition to another.

Whether the change is brought about by your own choice or circumstances outside of your control, the transition period is an important time in your life.

Are you in a hurry to do the next thing but it's not happening as quickly as you'd like?  A tendency can be to want to hurry the transition process.  Especially when you're used to working at a fast pace.  

Part of the process is to decompress and allow yourself to get back in touch with who you really are.  A time to consciously be aware of what direction you are moving in.

Learn and grow from the past and consider the following for your future:
"When the old way is breaking up, a new way is trying to break through."
"The more precisely you plan, the harder it can be for you to adapt."
"The best things often happen when you're not expecting it."
"Let go, knowing that something far greater than you can imagine is on its way."
If you left your workplace you may feel uncomfortable shifting to a slower pace.  For some of you a slower pace feels right but you may start to feel unworthy.  

How do you feel when a new acquaintance asks what you do?  How do you feel when friends and family ask what you've been up to?  You don’t have to explain or make it sound like you're busy.  You may not have as much outer doing to share but this can be a time of great inner transformation.

Embrace this time in the void.  You can use it to prepare for what's coming around the corner.  

In the coming days I'm going to share with you ways to take care of your physical body and what you can do in your personal space to help ease the transition.

Peace and Joy ~
