Are you laughing?

Are you singing your heart out?

Are you jumping for joy?

What makes you feel good? Blurt out the things that matter to your life. The things that light you up.

Like whenever I hear the word “pickleball” pure joy and delight come through me, and a big smile is there. I would venture to say, that everyone I know who engages in pickleball feels the same. It’s crazy but so fun. What does that for you?

Too much of life is filled with what you think you “have to” or “should” be doing.

How could you rearrange your life so that it is filled with more joy and more fulfillment?

Think about the people and circumstances in your life that lift you up. Name those. Feel the joy and peace you feel about that. Keep those. Add more time with them. Make new experiences with them.

Now, being honest and real, who are the people in your life who bring you down, feel heavy or negative?

Maybe you feel guilty and think that you should have them around.

Maybe they were good for your soul at some point in your life but not where you are today.

Maybe someone in your family or extended family is a challenge to be with.

How could you adjust the time and role they play in your life so you feel less of the burden you are feeling? Let go of time with them or even the past roles they played for you. Even 2% less.

Can you give thanks for the times they were important to your life?

Release the pain, resentments or anger you might be holding so that there is space for something more freeing to your life.

Are you 2% willing to take charge and bring more joy to your life even if it is a process?

Remember the saying, “People are in your life for a season, a reason or a lifetime.”

As John-Roger, DSS, said, “ The Soul attracts to itself the positive essence: truth, love, joy, peace, and fulfillment.”

Are you bringing more ‘feel good’ to your life?

How can you attract more fun? Enjoy your life more?

Are there beliefs that you shouldn’t have fun, that’s for kids? Do you feel like you have to take life seriously? Can you ask for more ease and flow in your life?

Take time to really think about what makes you feel good. Life is meant to be fun.

Yes, there are responsibilities, challenges, hurts, and frustrations. But don’t let them be your life.

Lighten up. Release the grip on others and life. Allow more good in.

Find the little things that you can feel that smile coming, a smirk. For instance, I was looking out my study window, watching the squirrels flitting around finding the acorns, rushing up the trees. Pure joy.

Become aware of all the ways you feel good. The more awareness you have, the more the ‘feel good’ can come to you.

You receive what you focus on.

Be on the hunt for all the goodness around you.

Become a magnet for GOODNESS. Feel it coming to you. Be goodness.

Allow it.

Life is meant to feel good.

What you think matters.

You have approximately 60,000 thoughts in a day. You repeat 75% of them day after day. These thoughts become habits. Thus, how you define your life.

Think about your life.

Is your health like you want? Is your financial situation like you want? Are your relationships like you want?

If not, take some time to reflect upon the thoughts and beliefs you have about each of these situations.

Are you playing the victim or feeling empowered? Are you feeling powerless or powerful? Are you thinking limiting thoughts or abundant ones?

What movie are you playing about these areas? Could you create a new story, a new character? One who is healthy, one who is abundant – even if you don’t know how it can happen.

I have begun reading, Dr. Kim D’Eramo’s new book – Be Your Own Healer – An Intuitive Doctor’s Guide to Activating Your Innate Abilities Through MindBody Medicine.”

She reemphasizes the power of your thoughts and thinking. She shares, “When we are in higher emotional states —- such as love, joy or peace—-our health and our physiologic function benefit…impacts our cells in a positive way and positively impacts everything around else.” The opposite is also true. She goes on to say, “Let’s say someone has cancerous liver cells. Through a minor shift in their energy field, those cells can rearrange themselves into healthy, vibrant liver cells. That quantum shift between a diseased cell and a healthy cell is a subtle tweak we allow.”

The energy you are in matters. Being positive or negative matters to you and others around you.

As one of my quotes from my Louise Hay calendar says, “Do a mental housecleaning today, making room for new, positive thoughts.”

Choose to release negative and fearful thoughts. Catch yourself as you are having those type of conversations whether in your head or with others. Laugh as you do this. Make it fun, not heavy. Throw the negativity in a trashcan. Notice how quickly it fills up today, but whew, less of a burden on you.

Feel as your mind is lighter, your body is too. The more optimistic you are, the healthier you are becoming in mind, body and spirit.

Find out who you are.

As Mike Dooley says, “I’ve spent years exploring how our thoughts shape our reality and how we can create lives filled with purpose, love and abundance. In times like these, the power of our thoughts and emotions is more important than ever.”

Your thoughts matter. Spend time noticing. Don’t make yourself wrong. Just notice how often you are in fear or worry. That’s hard on your body and soul.

Ask questions like, “How could this be easy?” “What if…”

Use mantras to change the energy of how you are feeling – like “I can choose peace instead of this.” “I can choose love instead of this.” “I can choose grace, forgiveness, etc. instead of whatever negativity you are in.” Be upset, but give yourself a time period. Then move the energy. Your body will thank you. Your life will too.

Set intentions like having 2% more positive, optimistic or loving thoughts today. Be 2% more willing and open to creating a lighter, freer life so that what you desire has the space and opening to come to you.

Today, more than ever, you must be the one creating the energy and conversations in the way you want.

You have the power to use your mind in whatever way you want.

Choose thoughts and beliefs that support the life you want.

How can you begin shifting your thoughts in one of the areas of your life that is not going like you desire?

Watch the magic happen.

Love makes the world go round.

Love is what you seek to know, be and have.

The more you love yourself, the more you can love others. You can see past their differences, their idiosyncrasies that might otherwise trigger you. Differences are there to heal you, and help you become more of your greatest Self.

The more light you can be, the more light you can see.

Would you say you are more of a love finder or a fault finder?

You receive what you focus on.

The more you focus on people’s faults, the more you see those faults. The more they annoy you.

The more you focus on the love and light in another, you will see and feel that lightness and joy in you, and around you.

I know as I was living in the “striving world,” always comparing myself to others, I can see how I was looking for more faults – in others and myself.

Today, I am focusing more on seeing the light and divinity in others. I have made it a BIG focus of mine. I am aware of how it feels when I go negative or dark. It feels yucky. I know I am not going in the direction I want. My awareness is guiding me more and more to how I want to be. I am committed to living more in peace, joy and love. And, that means checking in with myself all day long on:

How I’m acting How I’m thinking How I’m being

You choose how you want to live.

You must know what’s most important to you, your core values that help you align with what’s true for you. Then, you keep readjusting and rearranging your life to help that happen for you all day long. Catch yourself. Forgive yourself. It’s in all the decisions you make. All Day Long.

It’s deciding things like how can you become more of a love finder rather than a fault finder.

It’s becoming aware. Questioning…

What does that look like for you? Is it becoming kinder, and more generous with your appreciation and acknowledgements of others and yourself? What is it for you?

Know where you can look to be a love finder.

Too often our thoughts are only on “love” in our partner relationship or our family. But love is what God is, what the Universe is. Life is showering you with love – if you notice and give thanks. Like your heart is beating, your body moves and your bodily systems work without you being in control, saying kind words.

It’s all working on your behalf, on how you share love or fault with it.

I know I’ve learned to focus more on loving my life, others, and even my body though it’s not always like I want.

I focus more on the direction I want to go rather than grievances about what I don’t want or don’t like. I know it matters.

How can you begin focusing more on being a love finder?

Notice what you want more in your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, then maybe you want more calm and ease in your life. Begin there. Ask for that. How loving is that!

Remember, ask and it will be given – when you open and allow.

If you want more peace in your life, decide that is what you are committing to. Then, do simple things like saying “I choose peace instead of…” whatever you are encountering you don’t like or finding fault with. For example, in a disagreement, you don’t like where it is going. Watch how things diffuse.

Choose what’s right for you to become a love finder.

Seek love. Be love. Share love.

You are love.

The more self-aware you are, the easier life can be for you.

Life is full of peaks and valleys.

Some days you see sunshine and other days dark nights of the soul.

Disappointments are a natural part of life when one has expectations or attachments to how one wants things to turn out.

When you understand who you are and how you handle life, you aren’t taken over by circumstances.

You know life will give you what you need for your highest good and growth.

Life wants you to heal. Whether conscious or unconscious.

Often, the most “normal” response to what is happening is to be in resistance. Resistance only gives you more of what you don’t want and digs you in deeper.

Most people aren’t conscious or aware that how they respond affects the results and the future of what will be given.

Abraham-Hicks talks about the Process of Pivoting. “Whenever you feel negative emotions which helps you know you are in unwanted territory, stop and say, this is not what I want. Pause. Let the energy change. You might not know what you want, but you do know you do not want whatever is happening for the moment.”

Recently with the election of the new President, there was half the country pleased and the other half in great disappointment and shock. There have been an array of feelings and reactions. Notice where you are in that scale.

I know for me, I have learned more about being in my emotions, not spiritually bypassing them. Feeling all that’s there. And, then checking in with what is there for me to learn, garner. What’s next for me? What do I need to hear? I know there is always something there. Whether it’s on the end of learning more gratitude and appreciation or lessons like my attachments or how I handle disappointments.

I know one of the easy responses to this Presidential election can be is to disagree. Rant on. Is that you?

Are you arguing with what is? I know I can spend more time than helpful here. Especially when I have strong feelings or beliefs about the situation or circumstances. The good of that is that I now know that. I can catch myself in that state of arguing. Yes, I can have my feelings about whatever but resisting what is, doesn’t move me in the direction I desire.

Begin to notice how you handle disappointments. Whether big or small situations. Like an item at the store is out that you were after, or your team loses, or your garage door doesn’t work.

Do you perseverate about it, or notice it and move on? Do you lash out at others and blame? Can you see any meaning in what is going on?

Feel the differences in your body in how you handle disappointments.

Your health depends upon it. Stress is one of the leading factors of illnesses.

Can you feel the difference in just knowing that disappointments are part of life?

Life doesn’t always go the way you want. So if that is true, how can you prepare yourself so you are not as reactionary, and can be more grounded to be in the space of solutions?

Your attitude is everything.

Being more self-aware helps you have a new perspective of what can be possible for you during disappointments with life, in life.

By becoming more aware of how you handle disappointments allows you to clean up your life so you see and feel more joy and peace.

Disappointments are part of life. How can you use them as an opportunity to wake you to a greater life?

In this month of November, there are signs everywhere “To Be Thankful.” To Be Grateful.”

Is it catching your attention? Is it reminding you of all you have to grateful for?

It does make me stop for a moment. And think about whatever I’m doing to reframe the situation to give thanks. Just like last night, the sirens were blaring over and over. I was thankful we were safe and knew in the morning, I could see if any damage was done. Thankfully, nothing here. One of our sons had huge trees down, that fell on his batting cage and they have no electricity. But he was grateful he and his family were safe. The trees didn’t fall on the house. Their yard is a mess and he has to deal with all that. But so much to be grateful for if we look from that perspective. Yes, you have to deal with everything that is before you. He has a number of people stepping up to help.

An opportunity to see all the goodness there is around you. Are you looking for that goodness?

Remember you get what you focus on.

I know I have made huge leaps forward on this thankful path.

There were times I let expectations that things happen, get in my way of seeing how lucky I was or how blessed I was.

I had righteous feelings that I deserved certain things because I worked hard rather than seeing how lucky I was and the opportunities that came my way.

I see how much more peaceful and loving life is when I’m in the space of giving thanks and gratitude.

Where can November help you become more grateful?

Think about becoming the person you want to be in this phase of your life.

Think about how you can appreciate all you’ve learned, and done to become who you are today. Do not beat yourself up for the failures, lessons or challenges.

Applaud yourself for:

having the courage being willing to grow honoring yourself through all the challenges believing in yourself that you deserve to have what you desire

How can you make a shift to 2% more gratitude?

Where could you begin?

If you are in or near my age category, a good place to check out your attitude is to be thankful that you have some pain-free moments.

Where are you on the scale of complaining or being grateful? Even for any moments of your body feeling at ease and in the flow?

Think about a challenging adventure you are in the midst of to shape your gratitude. As Arthur Brooks says, “How can you reframe your difficulties?”

What if you looked at these challenges as opportunities? To expand your knowledge or your ability to fix something? Think of how good you’d feel to have pushed yourself and maybe even achieved something greater than you thought possible.

It is said that the greatest prayer ever said is “Thank You.”

Catch yourself throughout the day giving thanks.

What part of your life could benefit the most from you being thankful? Is it your spiritual life, your physical life, your financial life, your mental life, or your emotional life?

Set reminders on your phone.

Use gratitude for blessings and all the abundance you have.

I know when I get up in the morning, I say thanks for at least 10 things, and again when I go to bed. I try to remember to give thanks wherever I am and as things happen for me.

Use November to help give thanks throughout this month, and not just on Thanksgiving.

Watch your life come alive with so many blessings.

Life is ever-changing.

Are you trying to hold on to the past? Bring what’s best of the past and leave the rest. Too often you are carrying around tons of luggage that no longer serves you. Keeps you stuck.

Are you a creature of habit? Some habits are good like brushing your teeth, but too often habits can bring you down.

Are you allowing life to refresh you? The decades in life are meant to wake you up.

Are you open to receiving all the blessings that life has for you? Like the seasons are to remind you to flow with them, use them to balance your life.

Take a moment and notice how your life has changed this year. The past two (2) years. Maybe you’ve lost a partner or family member. Maybe you’ve had a health scare. Maybe your life has been running smoothly.

How can you use these circumstances to help you refresh your life?

As Mike Dooley says in his morning Notes, “When something difficult or painful happens, Dottie, always look to see what it makes possible that wouldn’t have otherwise been possible. Like a new adventure, a closer friendship, or chocolate in your peanut butter. Everything makes everything better, The Universe”

Are you seeing how “everything makes everything better”? Think about what shifts you could make to be in that mindset.

Refresh your life.

How can you nurture your life to raise your vibration? Realize you can see greater possibilities for your life.
Maybe you can find some friends that have “fun” to make your life lighter and more enjoyable. (On a recent coaching call I had, my client mentioned that these 3 “man-children” have been attracted to her. One wanted to take off work all the time, etc. I asked her what they were mirroring or reflecting in her life. She has been stressed out working all the time. Immediately it came that they were showing her that she needed more “fun – child-like behaviors to lighten her life.”) Life is always giving you what you need.

Maybe you could add an exercise routine. Maybe you can eat healthier. Maybe you could hang around more positive people.

As Abraham Hicks shares, “Your happiness is the most significant contribution that you could make. In your reaching for happiness, you are opening a vortex which makes you an avenue for the Well-being to flow through you. And anything that is your object of attention under those conditions, benefits by the infusion of your Well-being.”
What is that happiness for you? For you to refresh your life to live lighter and brighter?
Think about what music can do for you to help refresh your life.

Think about what a walk in nature can do to bring you higher and lighter.

What are the ways you need to refresh how your life is going?

I believe one of the reasons I am so satisfied with my life is that I am always looking for ways to grow, renew, or refresh. And, many times life has given me opportunities to seek a new perspective – unwillingly. My attitude and mindset are in a totally different place today than decades before.

How are you refreshing your life?

Use your vision to imagine what you desire. The more you can see and feel the outcome of what you want, the quicker and easier you can manifest. You can stay the course to accomplish what you want.

What are you seeing?

Opportunities or Problems?

What you focus on, you receive more.

The more clarity you have about your purpose, the easier it is to keep moving forward.

As James Corden says, “A story has the power you give it.” Is your energy more in the direction of your purpose or in the fear of why it can’t happen?

No matter the challenges you face, you can overcome them when you are focused and on purpose.

I just completed walking part of the Camino de Santiago with Backroads. We walked part of the Portuguese Camino, part of the Spanish Camino and part of the French Camino. What amazing revelations, and interactions with our group of 21. What a passion for what we were doing. Even though at the beginning of the trip we faced several obstacles. On one of the first nights we were in Portugal, a hurricane passed, leaving flooding, debris all over, and lots of rain for us to walk in. Our guides weren’t sure if we’d be able to get through the paths mostly because of the flooding. They were worried about how we’d respond to the adverse conditions. We were committed. We were willing to take on what was before us.

As we walked, it hit me that these circumstances were like life.

You are constantly hit and barraged with obstacles.

You have a choice of how to handle the situation.

You can assess and move forward, you can resist what is before you, or let the obstacles stop you.

You can allow what is or be in struggle with it being different than you wanted.

Life is always showing you what you need next. I realized how many times I want things to be like I want them to be.

Nice weather. Easy and in flow.

Life CAN be like that. But it also can be challenging, hard and frustrating.

I know as different obstacles came before us, we were all focused on what we came there to do.

When big trees or branches were down and blocking our paths, we came together to get through.

When pouring rain showed up, we dressed for it and walked on.

When the path with the “yellow arrow” was flooded or out of sight, we found another way.

It’s important to appreciate all the small moments of success as you move in the direction of your desires.

Life can be hard, tricky and uncertain.

Don’t let the circumstances keep you from your dreams and desires. Let them build character and a stronger commitment to your purpose.

What is your purpose right now?

How can you decide to recommit and stay focused on what it is you are desiring rather than on all the reasons why it can’t happen? I know back when I decided to get my doctorate everyone was telling me I couldn’t do it in the short timeline I needed. I had a purpose. Ashley was talking about going to school back east. I had just gotten my divorce. It petrified me to have her go away. I thought if I got my doctorate I could go back east and teach at a college nearby where she went to school. She didn’t go back east to school. But I did finish my PhD in the timeline that I needed if she did. The purpose of acquiring my doctorate kept a fire under me even though the circumstances seemed impossible.

How are you using your purpose to keep you on track to receive your desires or dreams?

Keep your purpose insight. Keep it leading your course, your life.

Do you realize how good life can be for you?

As Hafiz says, “Ever since it heard your name, joy has been running through the streets, trying to find you.”

Are you open to receive?

You are always given the next steps to your greatest life. BUT, mostly we believe that we have to design how life will be. Yet, Truth or God is always guiding you to the next, best step for goodness in your life.

Now, sometimes, it’s unraveling that has to take place. To clear out the cobwebs or whatever beliefs and blockages you have in the way of you receiving and allowing God’s presence to work for you.

Do you believe good things will come to you? Or, do you believe you have to work hard to have anything?

Your beliefs matter on what you receive.

“As above, so below.”

A big learning for me was to realize that life is wide open for all you desire. But, there are some guidelines that seem to have to be in place before they come: Like,

You must believe in what you want. There can’t be contradictions. There must be a knowing. In other words, you can’t be thinking there’s no way, this only happens for others, etc.

You must believe you deserve it to come to you.

You must be in alignment with it.

Your receptors must be open to allow in what you desire or something greater.

For example, on my Greek Isles cruise this past summer we stopped at this port that had the most magnificent yachts, totally out of my wheelhouse. I’d never seen so many and so much luxury. We were oohing and ahhing over them. Acting foolishly and having fun “ wouldn’t it be neat conversations.” Flying high in excitement about seeing them. Well, we were deciding on our girls’ trip for next year. Guess what showed up, cruising on a small yacht. I didn’t even think about it at the time we chose that. All of sudden I realized the magic that had happened. I had opened to the Universe to receive all the goodness I could, and look what’s happening. I’ve been flying high. Maybe more over the magic of how life happens for you if you are open and willing.

Life is for you.

Become aware of whether you are open to receive all the goodness life can shower you with.

Shout out “Here I am open and receptive to receive all the goodness I can receive.”

Too often you are shut off from being a receptor. You have your own way or ideas of how life happens. Rather than open and allow God to lead the way.

As Mike Dooley shares in one of his Notes from the Universe “Expecting “end results”—such as wealth and abundance, health and harmony, friends and laughter—in broad brushstrokes is part of the secret formula, Dottie, for manifesting the life of your dreams. Expecting your path to follow a certain route to be your deliverance—is just plain messing with the “cursed hows” and severely limits my options. Cool? The Universe”

Be open. Follow the breadcrumbs, the messages you hear. The Universe is always talking to you. You must be open to receive.

Turn only to love and God as the source of life and joy in every instant of your day.

Stop and ask yourself throughout the day “How much more am I willing to receive?”

Think about how great it would be for things to be easy. Easy to receive goodness and blessings into your life.

One of my mantras I say especially as I catch myself struggling is “What would it take to be easy?”

Let in the goodness. Know it’s there.

Be in the lightness more. Allow life to help you.

One of my morning practices is to act like I’m a magnet for all the goodness to come to me. I open to the Highest White Light to fill my body. I ask to let go of anything in the way. Then I say thank you for at least 10 wonderful things that happened to me the day before. It could be the breeze that was flowing on my face as I walked early morning. It felt so good and refreshing. Just make it authentic and be grateful for all you have been given to show you are receiving life’s goodness and magic.

What you focus on, you receive.

Think about who are you surrounding yourself with. They say you become like the top 5 people you are with.

Are they people of goodness? Kindness and compassion?

Are the conversations and stories you share about making everyone better?

Are they people who reach out to being connected and serving?

What you do throughout your days matters in what you receive. Take an inventory of your day with all aspects of your life. Are they in alignment with goodness?

Make sure you are open and receptive to the goodness around you. Watch how life lifts you up.

Life flows from within you. Which means whatever is inside of you is what you are living, what’s all around you.

If you aren’t living in peace and joy, it’s time to reflect and assess what could be a better way for you.

That’s why it is so important to shift the way you are living. First noticing how you are feeling. Let those feelings guide your next steps. Not, what’s on your agenda. Your agenda is secondary after you honor what your body and feelings are telling you.

What if instead, you listened to your body and your soul? If it is asking you to slow down, you decide to give some simple pleasures to yourself. Like a bubble bath, some soft music, meditating or sitting in the grass.

Feel the joy within you from that. Feel the harmony. That 5 -15 minutes can make a huge difference in your attitude and in how life flows for you. Just that simple shift.

Life can be simpler. Know it. Value it for YOU.

You can then do all the chores and take care of your responsibilities. But the value of engaging in simple pleasures before will be felt long after rather than starting from a depleted mind and body or worried state of being.

Everything changes.

Life flows more. Things happen more easily for you. Doors open when you are calm and peace.

When you let the outside world decide what you “must” do, there’s a constraint, a victim mentality that everyone else is telling you what and how to do your life. Life feels stressful, and overwhelming.

You maybe never thought about what is guiding your life.

When you choose to engage in life’s simple pleasures, your whole being feels differently.

You are valuing what matters to you.

Your whole body is more relaxed. Your mind softens.

You are leading from joy and peace.

You feel empowered because your soul and being have been fed.

Life is meant to be joyful.

Are you making time for the simple pleasures of life so you can be less anxious and overwhelmed?

Find your joys.

What do YOU love to do?

What gives you that chill feeling?

Smile more.

Think about all the ways you can be grateful, and how blessed you are.

Do more of all these.

Let the way you feel about these simple pleasures lead your days. Bask in the feelings.

Let life be simple for you. If you love having your kids in activities, then lead with those feelings rather than the overwhelm of managing your schedule to get everything done. Feel the joy of them engaging in what they love, and how that feeds your soul. Sit in your car repeating all the ways you are thankful for them in your life. Feel that love, that joy.

How are you feeding your soul? It’s important.

Focus on your why you are choosing what you do. Let that joy be what’s most important.

Inside first.

Cherish yourself and honor what’s inside of you, what wants to be fed.

Feel the impact of the simple pleasures of life. Can you feel the lightness of your body relaxing? Are you seeing how you are valued and how your life matters when you engage in life’s simple pleasures?

Notice and feel all you gain by engaging in life’s simple pleasures.

Aren’t your peace of mind and joy worth it?

It’s easy to be overwhelmed in life today. There is so much communication happening – 24/7. There is more divisiveness than most of us can handle. Families are at “war” with each other. Simple conversations are hard to have in fear of what might be triggered.

What are you feeling?

Do you have peace of mind?

Describe the peace you are feeling. Where are you on a scale of 1-10? 10 being the most peaceful. 1 – angry.

Think about how you handle traumatic things or upsetting things. These situations can show your real character.

Think about the relationships in your life. Friends and family. Would you describe them as peaceful and harmonious? Relationships are life’s biggest teachers.

Reflect upon the conversations and stories you are telling and sharing.

How peaceful are you really?

You must be that of what you want.

Are you asking to have more peace in your life?

Stop and check in on what’s in your heart. Are you raging, content or in angst? In other words, if you desire more peace in your world, you must be peaceful. It all starts with you.

Maybe you are only beginning this journey to more peace in your life. Maybe your life has been so chaotic and crazy, and you are finally ready to have a more settled and calm life. Pat yourself on the back. Make it a big deal.

Wherever you are on the spectrum of peace and calm, know that you can be an instrument of peace. Your experiences can be shared. You can be an example of bringing more light into the world. People will see and feel the differences.

The world needs more harmony.

No matter where you are on the scale of having peace in your life, just desire and willingness will change the energy and what happens to you in your life.

I love seeing these words in one of my morning readings, “Divine peace and harmony surround me and dwell in me.” Whew, my body sees that and melts into the magic of those words. I can feel that deeply.

How can you relax and allow something higher to come in for you?

Is that a state of being for you?

Is it dedicating some time to be still?

Do you even want that, or are you even aware that it could be?

Begin by noticing where you are out of alignment with what’s true for you. That could be where you are frustrated or overwhelmed. Where you need more peace.

You may have over-scheduled yourself.

You might be hearing that monkey mind, unstoppable chatter.

You might be trying to please too many people and not yourself.

You might not be taking care of yourself.

Begin by making peace with yourself. Acknowledge wherever you are. Have compassion for yourself. Give yourself a break, you’ve been doing your best. You’ve decided you want something new.

How can you begin today being an instrument of peace?

Be kind instead of trying to be right. Listen more than you speak. Sit for 5 minutes a day without doing anything.

This blog might have captured your attention because you have desired more calm and peace in your life. You are ready to be more of an instrument of peace.

Take a breath and allow yourself to slow down and listen to what’s wanting to come through for you, to move you to a slower pace, to a more settled inner being.

Find tiny ways you can bring more peace to your world and the collective.

A ripple effect will be felt around the world. One small act of kindness can change the world.

Choose to be that which you desire – “I am an instrument of peace.”

Begin that journey one small step at a time.

Feel the peace that fills your mind and heart.
