| Hi Friend!!!
How are you??? And happy belated Canadian Thanksgiving!
As always Thanksgiving pulls me into reflection and contemplation. And as busy as Gabriel and I have been tending to babies and Aria....I still created time in the wee hours of the night, while breastfeeding, to reflect on life and all that I'm grateful for.
Whenever I feel off, off-track, out of sync....I know from experience....that one of the fastest ways to flip myself back into alignment and return to my joy-flow....is through gratitude and appreciation! When we reflect on all that is wonderful in our life, our focus and attention gets off the crap, the stagnation, the pain, the limitations...and turns to the positive, the greatness. And when this happens we literally step out of the ego's grasp and into the mind of the divine self! From there....joy can return....abundance can flow again....health can return to the body....alleviation from suffering can begin....and we feel good again!
Feeling good is actually our natural state of being....it is our birthright...it is where our Soul is constantly calling us up and redirecting us to! I know it doesn't always feel this way when we're suffering or when crap has hit the fan.....but really, truly....feeling good, being aligned, having life work and flow for you / us....IS our natural state of Soul being!
And 2 of THE MOST POWERFUL ways to return to grace are: - Thanks / Gratitude / Appreciation .....AND.....
- Giving !!!!
I'm sure you've heard of starting a "Gratitude Journal"? This tool is simple....either write down or reflect on at least 5 things that you're grateful for each day! The morning and before bed are great times to engage this practice as it sets your mind UP really well!!! And if you want to elevate this practice...as you reflect on each thing....pause for at least a minute and really FEEL into this thing that you appreciate! Your entire being will RISE UP and shift positively! Our emotions are super powerful!
The second practice - Giving - is another wonderful, feel-good practice! When you give, you step out of yourself for a moment...our of your own "stuff"....out of your suffering....which again shifts your focus for a moment, creating a reprieve from pain....and when you extend / are of service to another / give....your heart expands, feel good hormones race through your body and you feel GOOD!
And we all really do want to feel good, right?!
Sending MASSIVE love, high vibes your way!!! Have a sweet and loving day my friend! |
