Wake the Bleep Up!

Love is the way forward

Things happening in the world can make us feel the world is going to pot. But could it also be the exact opposite? Because of instant news and internet every injustice and horrible event is rubbed in our faces. Billions of people living normal lives, feel free to interpret "normal!" In this case I mean not going on mad killing rampages. So in other words there are more FAR MORE good people in the world who would not even dream of doing such a thing and yet we get to focus on those few that do. Thats the danger of the media because on one hand we want to be informed and on the other hand we are fed death, disruption, corruption and human decay and ugliness with each mouthful, as if its all there is. Until we are choking on it and can no longer breathe.

The World Needs Your Love

Look around you and see that what the world needs is your love, your kindness, your compassion. Wake up with a determination to enjoy the gift of life you have now which others have had taken away from them at the hands of these few scary individuals. These individuals that we have all contributed in creating. Because yes we are creators, creating reactions through our actions, words and thoughts. We create by ideas we support, ways we treat people and ways we treat ourselves.

If we have little love for ourselves how can we love others. How can we respect others when we suffer at our own hand, through negative self talk, hating how we look, judging our competence at every step of the way? When all we do is feel bad day after day, how can we expect a society of ONLY decent, balanced happy individuals? First we have to raise our vibration and live more joyfully, more playfully, more truly empowered and inspired, before we can point at others in contempt and horror.

Wake the Bleep Up!

I am not saying I condone these acts against humility in anyway form or shape, but I am saying WE all NEED the wake the Bleep Up ;-)) and BECOME, BE the change we want to see in the world. And use these moments to GROW and truly become the best, most loving and powerful versions of ourselves we can be NOW. So we can raise each other up and maybe even help those who need help, before they get to the point where they feel so unheard, unseen, unloved and uninspired that they resort to this kind of ugliness disgusting actions and madness.

Now maybe I am just wishing on a star, when I dream of societies that use love to heal the trauma, the hate the disconnect and the violence. It starts with you and me being willing to BE the LOVE and spread it to all the people we meet. Strangers, family members, work colleagues, friends and foe. They are all equally as important in getting the best of YOU. Treat yourself with the highest honour, kindness, love and respect and let that spread to all those around you, limitlessly and freely. Give kindness to each other and seek connection instead of isolation and separation, together we can do anything!! We sent a man to the moon people! Yeah a bit random I agree lol! But you get my point.

Women Power

I finally figured out how to really enjoy women. Get them in high heels, tight dresses  Lol! I am just kidding. I had an all women birthday celebration and it was more like drunk on love and inner beauty. Deep gazing into eyes that were full of compassion, passion and hope. So much talent and inspiration to share, we would have needed a whole weekend. That gives me the idea for my next birthday party! 

Nothing really disturbs me so much any more, because I have these amazing woman by my side, walking the path of inner peace and joy together. I used to feel lonely on this road, but all that changed when I decide to stop playing small and dimming my light. I felt this roar in the very deepest part of my being to breakout of ALL limiting relationships. Relationships that made me feel even lonelier.

Communicate with the greatness in you

The secret is vulnerability, and fearless communications. Sometimes its easier to hide away from what we really feel and what we really want to say. the problem is that we block the other stuff too. The compliments, the pouring out of sweetness, the lifting up and holding in love. For that stuff to flow out of us we need to open up the line of real seeing and hearing.  REAL vulnerability.

Do you have girlfriends who have hurt you and you have said nothing? Or are you angry with one who you feel misunderstood something? Make the effort to clear up all this stuff so that whenever you meet all that is shared is this deep respect, appreciation and joy to be in the presences of a goddess. Because in the end when we come from our greatness and live our genius it is the greatest and most exquisite thing to experience.

I invite you, women, to shine your light brighter than EVER and lift your head up to the sky and smile in gratitude for all the amazing woman you know..and keep reminding each other of how awesome and wonderful we are...together we are powerful and can do anything we set our heart and mind to.

Stop Kidding Yourself!

Recently I have had to eat a huge slice of humble pie! Which is always a good thing lol! Because it is what will take you faster to the next level of growth and success. We can get very good at hiding from ourselves until life pulls back the sheets or shines a huge spot light on our zits!  In my case I created this AMAZING mastermind group of Awesome and powerful woman. We meet once a month and give each other powerful life changing and life affirming feedback on life, business, relationships and personal development issues.

We raise each other up. We give truck loads of love and support and praise. We also give honest and constructive feedback which sometimes hits a nerve, because maybe its something we don't want to look at! Or its something we don't want to deal with...now. These are the very things that will make us grow fast, and allow us to shed believes or ideas that no longer serve us in the creation of our dreams and aspirations. The things we shy away from, the shame, the guilt, the embarrassment that we don't want others to know we feel...that we don't even want to reveal to ourselves.

Making Mistakes

Its okay to make mistakes, to fall down or to look clumsy, or silly, or even a little stupid to those watching from the comfort zone. Thats what could happen when you are going after your real dreams. Dream building, seeking and achieving is not for the faint hearted! You need to be brave, you need to be determined and most of all you need to be clear, about the dream and the why?! What would you need to do right now to go after your deepest and most scary but  most honest dreams. How uncomfortable (for a while) do you think you might have to feel to truly breakthrough the voices in your head, that tell you that dreams too big, you are not good enough, you will never achieve that, why not just forget the whole thing and just stay and hide under the sheets?  

Comfortable Out of The Comfort Zone

Being comfortable out of the comfort zone is a powerful place to live from, and can lead to big gains.  Society does not teach you this. You are easier to control when you are scared and fearful of your own shadow. Fear is one of the main energies we need to master and that is constantly thrown in our faces in the media. Stop reading the news paper or watching the news everyday. Instead spend that time educating yourself on positive, happier living by listening to recordings, watching videos or meditating, writing in your journal, dreaming and acting upon those dreams.

Many people end up giving up, because they don't have the support of other like minded people. People who are also living out of their comfort zone and aspiring to live each day with as much honesty and self respect to their fullest potential. At the end whatever you may hope for in the future, can only be created by what you are doing right now. What makes me happy is knowing that however things may turnout in the future, I am living, loving and laughing now, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude for the blessed life I have had and I am having. I endeavour  to bring the best me to the table each day.  Meditation allows you connect to the part of you that is free from all feelings of limitation and fear. Its not an escape from reality, but rather an awakening to the truth. We are not just victims of our circumstance, we are co creating by what we choice to belief, feel, think and do.  

People can make or break us???

The trippy summer is slowly winding to a close, and soon we will have to welcome the Autumn. Its time to take stock of all the lessons learned. Due to an intense renovation project on our new apartment, I found myself homeless. Its during such times that you realise the difference between people you know and real friends. It made me truly cherish and feel happy to know some awesome and amazing people.

I got to realise that its all about sharing wonderful moments with people that inspire you, lift you up, tell you your awesome (when you need reminding) and know how to laugh a lot ..... and cry too, if thats what is need! People are at the centre of all my dreams and goals, because really without great relations, what can we really achieve?

In every aspect of our lives the difference between success and failure will depend on the quality of our relations, the quality of the people we say yes to in business and private life. People can be the reason that you don't sleep well at night and they can also be the reason that you don't want to wake up in the morning  ;-))) I am not saying our destiny lies in other people hands, but rather in our ability to nurture and cultivate extraordinary relationships, that make us access our true greatness.

When we were young we knew how to fill each others hearts with delight. We were not afraid to love deeply and with great enthusiasm and purity. Our happiness to be together knew no limits or boundaries. If we fought we knew how to quickly kiss and make up! Can we find again that inner child who's wisdom was simple yet powerful and beautiful.

Lets stop to take stock of what we truly want and deserve from our relationships, and lets be brave enough to lead by example. Take this end of summer as a new beginning. People matter and its time to stop ignoring this fact, and work seriously on your relationships, they are the key to your success in every area of your life!

Kick in The Gut, Ouch!

Kick in the gut, ouch!

Do you know this experience? Not literally I hope! The experience when something weird/uncomfortable  happens with someone, or some people, and you just were not expecting it! Some of these situations, that happen to us, looking back we can say, yep I am not so surprised, I saw that one coming. But then there are those situations that just take you by surprise and in doing so hit bellow the belt! Leaving you feeling more than a little bamboozled 

What Happened?

I recently received one of these situations, one of my clients told me what he really thought about me! I had only good memories of all our encounters together and I had seen this person go from strength to strength transforming themselves and their reality. So I was not really prepared for some of his comments which I received in an SMS. Has this ever happened to you? That feeling of being blindsided and surprised? Your expectations of that person were totally somewhere else.....

What did I do?

I called my friends, I asked for help, I reached out and exposed myself, my anger, my hurt, my embarrassment, my shame, my vulnerability, my bamboozlement!! I dived into all of these with full gusto and just allowed the range of emotions to rage like a fire in me and then burnout, until even the coals stopped glowing and only the ashes of my ego remained. What also remained was the knowledge that this is probably not the last time life will throw me a fast ball I was just not prepared for, but for the next one I will just be just that little stronger, just that little bit wiser and just that little bit less fragile.

Ask for Help - Do not Be Too Proud 

I am surrounding myself with amazing people! I am more and more amazed at the gifts, knowledge and  the blessings these people are offering to enrich my daily life. Its like having a net that catches you when you fall from a tight rope! Some moments in life can feel like a tight rope walk high up in the clouds ;-)) Because even my worst moments are still blessed ones compared to millions of people in this world! Surround yourself with people that expand you, love you, adore you, praise, hear you and firmly challenge you to be the best version of yourself you can be. People who shine and want you to shine, people who work hard and make you raise your game. People who know how to laugh  and have fun, no matter whats going on, because they are committed to live the moment and be grateful in it.

The Lessons learned are priceless

The thing is that what these situations reveal about us is fascinating. We get to stretch our spiritual  and emotional muscles and we are forced to grow up! I wanted to strike back, I wanted to be big enough to  just ignore it, I wanted to..I wanted to..I wanted to scream, and finally I just needed to cry. I have learned to stop being so protective about negative criticism, in doing so we give power to those words and moving forward becomes difficult, moving to forgiveness and compassion becomes challenging. What is the worst thing anyone could say to you? Imagine it has been said. You will still live, you will still be, you will still love and give. You will still shine and laugh. Practice being unstoppable, by having nothing to prove, nothing to protect, nothing to hide, nothing to defend! Thanks Lisa Nichols from motivating the masses for these wonderful empowering pearls of wisdom.

Hot Summer Dreams!

HOT SUMMER DREAMS

What plans do you have for this summer? What dreams do you want to manifest and how can you go about making those dreams into reality? These days manifestation guru's all talk about the importance of action, action, action! Its the key ingredient to becoming a  manifestation queen or king. Here are three helpful things to consider when you are ready to become an epic dream maker.

1. Get Rid of Your Limitations  

Write it down on paper. When you write with a pen on paper you activate the creative part of your brain. Writing is a powerful tool that we must never replace with digital technology. Writing gets you in touch with your imagination and allows you to let go and get out of the box. What about thinking big? Be aware that the best way to train yourself to becoming an epic dream maker is by setting yourself up to win.

This does not mean don't think big, It just means break the big dream into bitesize chunks and start chewing on that first bite. I have the big dream of wanting to support many many people globally to find their inner strength, peace and clarity.  I would love to take the power of meditation into new  places it may not have gone yet. Like what about taking meditation into an african slum and seeing what happens when we unlock inner peace in individuals, in a place where even the most basic human comforts are not available?

In our limitations we sometimes underestimate the potential transformative effect, of empowering human beings with this kind of powerful inner wisdom. So what are the next steps I need to take, that will  take me in the direction of accomplishing my big dream? I already have a plan for this summer and know exactly what I would like to have done by the end of the summer. My plan is totally doable, therefore failure is not an option. I have set myself up to win and being a winner keeps your spirits and passion high. Set your goals in such a way that you think, I am a winner! 

2. Read it, Repeat it and Edit it

Its important to keep polishing the dream, revising it, revisiting it and redefining it.  Get it down to a one liner. The more you think about it, the more real it becomes and thats when the real magic starts happening. Don't get stuck in the how. How am I going to accomplish this? rather stay on the why? Why do you want this, why are you doing this?  why does this matter to you. The why is your fuel. When you keep connected to the why you will never run out of passion and determination.

My why is clear. I LOVE helping people find inner peace. There is nothing more beautiful in this world to me than seeing people get empowered. When they discover their inner light and beauty they transform themselves and in doing so they bring more light, love, happiness and peace into the world. I can wake up to this why and feel inspired, regardless of where on the journey I am, or how big the challenge seems at times. My why makes every part of the journey fulfilling.

3. Cultivate a Determination Mindset

Determination is a quality you want to nurture in order to become a powerful dream maker. Think of the process of making a baby. It needs time for the baby to grow in the mothers belly. Your thoughts need time to manifest into the real world. Don't be too quick to give up and also don't keep changing your mind. Take time to get really clear, by finding out who you really are in the core. Create dreams that make you shine, feel good and that create deep contentment in your life. 

However don't be afraid to fail and try different things in order to get to that core, just make sure you give each thing a real and sincere effort once you start it. Even when you do find that thing that you love and want, thats just the beginning of the journey and not the end. The work never ends on the journey of self growth, the good thing is it all does get easier. Meaning that with each passing moment you are getting stronger, wiser and more in balance.

Be Free Enough to Dance Dance Dance!

I LOVE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT!

I have recently had a huge ah ha moment and realised that my body loves to dance! I need to dance almost as much as I need to breathe ;-)! I have been demanding yoga, jogging and other stuff from my body, when really all I needed to do was dance!

I will of course continue with yoga too as I think its unbeatable in keeping you flexible and strong. But the jogging will now be dance. I still love to be outside in nature, sucking in fresh air and beautiful sights, so look out for me dancing in the street.

Where I live, here is Switzerland, randomly dancing in the street is not an easy thing to do. You need to be courageous to just dance in broad day light! Why is this? Well the only people not following the rules of behaviour expected from them are either mad or about to go mad ;-))) Come to think of it, following the rules is a strong pull in most cultures. Some rules really need to be broken, and street dancing on your own is one of those rules! Don't you think?

Dancing like singing or painting is a powerful art form. Art allows us to be creative and go beyond the limits of the mind. beyond thinking you tap into a part of you that is pure playfulness and power. The way most people "think" leads them to feelings of limitation or shyness that is crippling and often debilitating.

BREAK THE RULES!

Its important to never stop playing, thinking out of the box and expanding yourself beyond your comfort zone. The result is that you give other people permission to shine when you allow yourself to shine.

Some people think they can't dance, but for me dancing belongs to us all, it is a natural drug that lifts the spirit. Music brings dance into the body, and even if you are not going to be the next Michael Jackson music speaks to your body. And if you listen to your body you will feel the music in it. Let that music in your body be expressed as movement and you become living art.

The next time I think oh I should not dance here, its not appropriate! I am going to crank up the volume on my headset, close my eyes, and let my body start a conversation with the music. A conversation that is electric, sensual, light, therapeutic and frankly liberating on every single level of ones being and beyond! Because seriously when was the last time a happy dancer pissed you off? And if that has happened to you recently you might surely need to stop, breathe, smile for no reason and chillax BIG time ;-))))

Oh, what a day – oh, what a Detox Day

Do you have relationship blues?

Happy Relationships Require Your Attention The number 8 represents infinity. Here are eight powerful tools to work with, when looking to bond deeper and form infinity friendships and heart connections that will survive the test of time and most importantly remain vibrant in the now. Remember that it takes two to tango so make sure to follow your intuition and select great people who are open minded and ready to explore personal development. 1. OPEN HEART Only through an open heart can love flow into you, through you and out of you. Love, it self never hurts, it is a positive force for good, only the egos pride can be bruised. Never close your heart, especially when you feel hurt. An open heart is invincible and bullet proof, because It holds on to nothing and leads the owner of that open heart into a love that has no limit and can never be given and taken away because its who you are in the core. 2. LOVE YOURSELF The world will only love you as much as you love yourself. Self-appreciation and respect is an essential ingredient in the pursuit of powerful and good relationships. Make peace with who you are right now, this gives you the power to accept others and deal better with their imperfections. Self loathing is not an attractive quality. When you have confidence in yourself you give other people permission to have confidence in you. 3. PURE LOVE Pure love is not jealous or insecure, it sees the essence of the other person, the goodness and soul, beyond the imperfections When love hurts it is because somewhere the ego go involved. Pure love never hurts. It is healing, soothing, uplifting inspiring and empowering. So whenever you are in pain in a relationship, it's because you stepped away from pure love and stepped into the limitation of ego love. Ego love is never happy; it feels empty, frustrated, uninspiring and exhausting.   4. BE PRESENT Maintain deep eye contact, stop whatever you are doing and really listen and feel your partner. If you really want to resolve conflicts with anyone, that’s what you will have to do. Most of us can’t hear or connect, because we are in the past or the future. Defending our actions and ourselves! Practice being fully present and available to people, be in the now. Its feels like a love shower when someone is fully present with you.   5. SELF- AWARENESS Know your strengths, know your weaknesses. Own your part in any conflict. Own your happiness, sadness, anger and how you feel. See how what you feel, think and do has a powerful effect  and influence on the world around you. Nothing will fuel an argument more than being defensive instead of considering apologizing and being brave enough to admit your mistakes and limitations.   6. VULNERABILITY Complimenting your people on a daily basis will do wonders for a happy bond. People like to feel seen and appreciated. People respond well to vulnerability, so please don’t be afraid to show vulnerability, express your truth, be authentic, take risks and be honest. Your mask is only skin deep, people can feel authenticity and integrity. These two things can only be accessed through real vulnerability. You are more powerful in your vulnerability, than when you are out of it! Try it and prepare to be amazed…   7. FORGIVENESS Real forgiveness is not selective. I will forgive this but not that, ultimately if you are to survive and blossom in relationships, you will have to become a master at forgiving. Forgiving yourself for not reacting, as you would have liked to, forgiving people for hurting you, forgiving yourself for getting hurt and so on and on and on, its never ending! It’s the ultimate art of letting go of everything and the key to real freedom and peace of mind.   8. HUMOUR We often forget to be playful and lighthearted with each other. Growing up does not have to mean growing stern and serious. We can’t laugh at ourselves and god forbid if anyone else is laughing at us! If you are not laughing everyday with your partner/ colleagues and friends you need to seriously consider how you can start doing that. Real deep belly laughter with each other is the best icebreaker and connects you to your enjoyment of each other. Its one of the most powerful tools in this lineup and needs to be taken seriously!! ;-)))

Mastering the basics for a happy life

The days of sitting cross legged in a lotus posture for hours on end, going on long travels to and India ashram, changing your name or shaving your head and wearing long robes, are no longer a prerequisite for deep spiritual transformation and growth. Having done all that, and loved every minute of it, I can tell you from first hand experience. Times are a changing!

Freedom can be found in every corner of this globe, because it really is an inner experience, that is not limited by space and time. Also the world is  changing and how we learn today is not the same as how we learned 20, 30 and forty years ago. Our spiritual development is happening at a much faster rate too, with people able to get out of 15 mins mins of meditation what used to take an hour! We are bombard even in the media, with calls to be more conscious, compassionate, kinder and  even happier in our daily lives. Having a negative attitude is no longer as cool and as "normal" as it used to be.

How to Accelerate Progress in These Times

Having said that there are some things to bear in mind, as a modern day seeker of inner peace, if you are looking to accelerate your ability to enjoy the now.

1. Surround yourself with spiritually aware people

Nothing can derail your efforts more than spending too much of your time with people who are on a totally different wave length than you.  In fact find people that will inspire, motivate and even push you to go deeper. The funny thing is, if you have the courage to stay true to your desire to meet and be surrounded with amazing people, you will manifest this, for sure! Just don't give up and keep removing yourself from situations that drain rather than energise, that limit rather than, give you wings to soar. 

2. Start Your Day With a Spiritual Boost

Instead of just jumping out of bed and hoping for the best, do something in the morning that puts you in the right frame of mind. Do a gratitude list in your head before your feet even touch the ground. Meditate, dance, do yoga, sing or say out loud to your reflection in the mirror what you want to get out of that day. Keep a diary and write a few words down that remind you of who you are and what your purpose is. Read a passage out of a book that inspires you. Eat a healthy and energising breakfast.Too often I see people underestimate the power contained in these small daily rituals.

3. Fall In Love With Mastering The Basics

The basic should never be over looked in our quest for knowledge. This society of modern times is becoming a more, more, more type of society. We want more and in our hunger to fulfil this desire, we can loose the simplicity in things. We can over reach, destroy and complicate things. The basics in spiritual development are these....

Love yourself, love life and love the world, as it is right now. Let go of fear and embrace trust. Forgive continuously  and express gratitude with each breath. That is really all you need to master to become the master of your own destiny, heart and mind.

It is okay to ask for support.

Gandhi puts it Beautifully 

"If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. And so the world around you will change. Not only because you are now viewing your environment through new lenses of thoughts and emotions but also because the change within can allow you to take action in ways you wouldn’t have – or maybe even have thought about – while stuck in your old thought patterns."

So even though we have all these new opportunities and we are grabbing them with both hands, woman, we still need to seriously examine how old thought patterns are affecting us negatively as we try to move forward and upwards. It is easy to keep blaming others, especially men for what we are still creating through our action, words and thoughts.

Change is Easier Than Most People Will Have You Believing

Its all about surrounding yourself with real people that inspire and motivate you. People who themselves are working tirelessly on their own spiritual growth. People who help you to take quantum leaps out of limiting states of heart and mind. So often I see people trying to wade through personal empowerment on their own...not taking almost as much advantage to having a live, living breathing mentor, spiritual teacher,coach, personal development advisor.

Now it may look like I am trying to toot my own horn here or blow my own trumpet, and yes there might be a touch of that going on ;-) lol! But seriously, I am super passionate about turning people on to fully experiencing and recognising the benefits of having effective mentoring and personal advisors that have worked on themselves enough to be looking at the world through a different pair of glasses, giving a perspective that will empower and enhance ones ability to bring ones amazing gifts into the world.

Do you believe in God?

I was reading through some wonderful wise words of my First teacher and found this lovely story, that speaks directly to the heart of understanding the nature of our beliefs and our belief in God.

   Once Sri Raman, one of the great seers of this age, was asked by a journalist coming from the West,     "Do you believe in God?"

   Sri Raman said, "No."

   The man was shocked. He had heard that this man has realized God, and now

   he says he does not believe in God! He repeated the question. He said,

   "Have you heard me rightly? I am asking, "Do you believe in God?"

   Raman said, "I have heard it. Do you understand what I have said? I don't believe in God, because I know. There is no need of belief. I know the whole existence is divine. There is no personal God anywhere. Every part of this universe is divine. I know it, there is no question of believing." Beliefs are to distract people from discovering the beauty, the grandeur, the splendor, the divinity of existence.

Where can we find happiness?

After  a divorce many many years ago left me feeling weak, sad and lacking in confidence. This all changed when life led me to a powerful teacher who helped me to experience an inner state of being that was totally separate and independent of the realities and experiences of my physical body!

I discovered this, when you turn your focus inward and connect to something greater than the ego of the I, a great weight is lifted off ones shoulders and the ability to choose happiness as a way of life becomes so much easier. I believe you get more of what you focus on. Focus on connecting to inner peace and a wonderful way of being, living, loving becomes available to you. 

Master the MInd

Where do you think negativity comes from?

I see that a lot of negativity comes from my mind. Through my thinking and feeling and the choices I make I can increase or decrease the amount of negative energy I am engaging in. By holding on to thoughts and feelings that do not serve the bigger picture of unconditional love, being in the now AND being okay with what IS.

Everything comes from the same source. Everything is part of the energetic oneness that connects everything. Like the sun and the darkness, like birth and death, like positive and negative its all arising from the same source. It is all part of who we are. As individuals you get more of what you focus on! keep your focus on the positive aspects of your life, no matter what life throws at you, That’s the secret to being happy and peaceful in the now

Where do you think negativity comes from?

How does meditation improve our daily lives?

How does meditation improve our daily lives?

planting seeds for your future, now

Next Level

There is nothing more satisfying in daily life than to feel you are making progress at whatever it is you are leaning into. Whether you are progressing at work, in the gym, or on a spiritual and emotional level. Progress, advancement, makes us happy and gives us great satisfaction. Its our nature to aspire to be, do and achieve more! What are you working on? How would you like to grow, expand, take over your personal best? 

Planting seeds

For me I work from the inside out. If I want my outer reality to change I work on my inner state of mind, heart and clarity. I find peace in knowing where I came from, learning from my past. Where I am, realising that I am planting seeds for my tomorrows, right now. Planting seeds of gratitude, trust, peace and happiness means I can breath easy and watch my seeds grow. We do reap what we sow as much as we might wish it to be different! what seeds are you sowing?

An Epic Summer

Love Now

My trip in Thailand, this summer, was incredibly enlightening and up lifting. I got to fall in love with myself all over again ;-)! The self that is beyond name, occupation, education, status and the physical body. The Self that is the spirit, soul, eternal and divine part of us. The part of our human nature that allows us to evolve emotionally and BE happier and motivated human beings. I find myself feeling so full of love, that it over flows out onto the side walk and gushes out around me, wetting the feet of anyone who comes too close. 

Peace Now

I danced wildly on beaches in the rain, I swam with colorful fish in the ocean, I got intoxicated on spicy curries, I got lost on winding roads on my scooter, as I found myself more comfortable with the solitude of my own company. I find myself held firmly, gently, in the arms of peace, and it won't let me go. It clings to me, sings to me, kisses and caresses me. It makes love to me, filling me up with a stillness that is endless. 

Know when to unplug

Know when to unplug

With the rising burnout, stress, physical and emotional  problems on the rise. Knowing when to stop and rethink, what and how you are doing things is paramount to keeping in top form. The signs are all there, you just have to listen. Your body is always trying to give to signals in the form of pain, tiredness, restlessness. The mind and emotional body also calls for your attention, in the form of angry outbursts, crying frequently for no real reason, finding it hard to relax, sleep or focus your mind on the task at hand.

Keep it real with yourself

The only person that can truly regulate when enough is enough, is you. And its best to do it before you run out of energy completely. With all kinds of pressure constantly coming down on our heads its easy to feel cornered and feel that you have no options but to push through and take yourself to the edge of breaking point. The problem is the edge maybe closer than you think, so extreme caution should be used, when your body starts reacting to the stress levels.


Take charge of yourself well-being with compassion

Talk to anyone who has ever had a break down, melt down, of mind and body, and you will understand that its better to stop before that happens! Nothing is worse than being unhealthy to the point where you can't function anymore in the way you want to. Some people have paid the price in physical illness and others  pay it in mental and emotional challenges. Either way

We are doing it to ourselves

Its important to realise that no one is holding a gun to our heads forcing us to ignore the alarm signs. People are busy with themselves and so waiting for someone else to notice you are stretching yourself thing is the first mistake many people make. We  think if we complain long enough or give visible signs of frustration or exhaustion, somebody else will have compassion on us and give us a break. As no one can feel what you are feeling or know what's truly going on in your head, no one is going to save you from yourself! Even if they tried you probably won't listen, as the listening is the problem.

 The Solution

If you are reading this and thinking this may be you, resolve to take a time out. Just make it happen. Lose the excuses, and find a way to create some time for yourself. We all need time for ourselves once in a while, to recharge, to reflect, to contemplate on the big questions and on what we are doing. Time to just do nothing, be in nature and space in. Time to retreat from taking care of others and do some taking care of yourself. It is not a weakness to feel that you want this and need this, a wise person listens to their body and emotions, to stay healthy. A happy energised and relaxed you means everything and everyone else in your life benefits and things will flow more smoothly and harmoniously.

It's not about what you do, it's all about how you do it.

It's not about what you do, it's all about how you do it.

A lot has been said on the subject of making plans, and working the plan, writing lists and getting the stuff done. I want to add some food for thought. If you are not enjoying what you are doing and feeling good while you do it, your productivity in the actions you take will not be high. The results we get from work we do when we feel stressed, tired and uninspired does not meet the standard of work we are capable of doing when we are feeling, creative, fired up and in our full energy flow state. You can have two salesmen working on selling the same product. The one who is distracted, depressed and hates his job just won't be able to keep up with the one who is motivated, clear and loves what he does.

Being Unhappy Affects The Way You Work

Your level of emotional wellbeing has a dramatic effect on how productive you will be. Having even just one extremely  negative person on a team can also disable a teams ability to work together as a powerful and effective unit. Personal development techniques like meditation and mindfulness is one of the most effective ways to learn how to generate more love, passion and enthusiasm for what you do. It is our human nature to want to be good at what we do, and to try to out perform our best performance to date. The secret to achieving success is by following your bliss and finding out what you naturally enjoy doing.  

Do What you Are Really Good At

Being really good at something turns us on. There is nothing like being able to do what you like and what you are good at every single day. Look at all the success stories and there lies the secret. The love and passion for what they do is what gives them the determination to keep going regardless of the curve balls, set backs, uncertainty or whatever else appears on their path. Nobody is not good at something! Everyone of us has a gift. Some gifts are given more glamor and importance than other gifts and that's where people get confused, and start thinking they don't have talents and things they are really good at.

It Could Be More Simple Than You Believe

The first thing you need to do is recognise what you are really good at, it may be something simple like enjoying to be around people and talking to people. it may be something you never thought was very special like enjoying to be out in nature, or growing your own vegetables or planing games, or helping people find solutions to problems. Whatever it is there is something which you are good at and that you love doing. Once you have defined your natural and/or developed gift/gifts the next step is to start thinking out of the box about how you could use/develop these skills to start making money for you. 

Thinking Will Change Your Life

As a meditation master and lover of the "no mind" state it may seem like me asking you to start thinking may be me contradicting myself! LOL, but trust me, it's not. Not enough people use this aspect of their human capabilities correctly and there for most sadly don't benefit from it as much as they could. Worrying and obsessing over things is just mental activity which is not the same as focused and directed thinking processes like,  creative thinking, brainstorming, out of the box thinking, visualisations, contemplation time, listening for ideas. These types of thinking processes are all the same as digging for gold in a goldmine. When we take the time to think in this way, it is like sieving through the dirt and in time discovering the gold nuggets. You will be amazed at how you will find ways to turn your gifts and passions into gold, if you just start to allow your self to think creatively and without restriction or limitation....
