Your road to Emotional & Spiritual Power
Resolutions aside, what do you want? A tough question I know, but just ponder for a moment – in your dream world, what are your days? What brings you satisfaction and fulfillment on a soul level? What does your heart desire? These questions are a few paths to the same destination. So where is your journey headed?
I’ll tell you mine, days filled with mindful, spacious thoughts, meditation, wholesome food and time well spent – either working on my passions or working towards my many relationships. I yearn to develop deeper connections to: myself, family, friends, love, and my community. I don’t want to go to bed each night with a list of what I didn’t accomplish but instead, with a list of what I did accomplish and how I felt throughout the day; an inner smile as I pursue my nightly routine. The truth is, in order to live this life of my dreams, it requires hard work at my passions which will produce income to support this wholesome living. It’s not impossible, in-fact our favorite influencers are doing it right now as we bare witness to their enviable life experiences. Somewhere along the lines of our lives, we’ve given up the power to dictate how our days will go; how we feel, and who we choose to share our experiences with. In returning to the self every day (and several moments throughout the day) we can regain this clarity and proclaim for ourselves what this life will be for us. How do we do it? By asking the questions above and putting a plan into action.
Telling everyone to meditate is so cliché so I’ll spare you. Although the practice is essential, I trust we’ll each find our way when the moment is aligned for us. What I will tell you is to invest time and thought into finding out what you truly want, material dreams aside. How does this envisioning make you feel? What will you do to achieve this? And again, what makes your heart truly sing?
Here is a list of 4 things to jump start you on your road to emotional & spiritual power:
1.) Write down 10 things you love about yourself #10POS ( all physical attributes aside.) What makes you a positive go-getter and an admirable soul?
2.) Set an intention at the top of the day about how you will feel and behave; claim it fiercely!
3.) Take a moment (or several each day) to check-in and ask yourself, how am I feeling? Notice what you are doing in these moments. Start to pay attention to your inner world and desires. When do you feel good and aligned VS overwhelmed, stressed, resentful?
4.) As you wind down your day, reflect on these moments. Look deep into a mirror and begin to see yourself through your own eyes. Embarrassment will subside, I promise. It can be quite uneasy and uncomfortable yet crucial in this journey to getting to know yourself and your desires for this life.
If you can incorporate even just one of these practices into your daily routine and maintain it, you will be on your way to feeling more intentional and inspired about your life journey. So, beyond the new year, get ready for a new YOU! Get ready to claim your biggest, boldest, most authentic and loving self. As we each journey inward, we can rest assure that the world around us will keep changing and evolving for the better. Let’s win, light beings!
