"I'm in A New Year State Of Mind."

Day Twenty-Three of the Self-love 31-day 5-minute Challenge: Resolutions

On the Eve of the New Year, we are all busy making our plans for what we want to do, making declarations of the things we want to do different and making New Year’s resolutions. The end of another year, causes us to ‘pause,’ thinking about all the events that took place. We certainly had many.

I don’t believe in resolutions, at least I don’t wait for the end of the year to start something new. I let go of that idea a long, long time ago. Resolutions so often set people up for disappoints if they don’t live up to what they promised themselves, and doesn’t make for feeling good about oneself either.

I believe every day, every breath, every minute, every second is a ‘New Beginning.’ The practice is Less about thinking we are a small limited human roaming the earth. More about remembering we are a Divine limitless soul, embodying a human body.

I do understand that it is tradition to have this resolve thingy happen, after all, we are about rituals.

So, if you must make a New Year’s resolution, try reframing your expectations this year and not put so many pressures and unrealistic expectations on yourself.

I invite you this New Year’s Eve to spend five minutes making a list of things you would ‘like’ to do, in 2017.

I have always been a practitioner of writing out my wishes and dreams without attachment to the outcome, one of my journal joys in life. An example would be; “How would I like to grow and expand more?”

“Where in my life can I open up more of myself, so that I can raise my vibration and start living more of the life I have always wanted?” I am sure you can come up with many many more of your own desires.

And more importantly, let us practice;

*Fewer Judgments; work on accepting most are doing their best.

*Less putting you on lock down until some mystical day in the future is the right time. Life is happening NOW.

*More grounding ourselves with heart opening morning rituals to begin our day; setting intentions that will set the tone, move the energy and raise our vibrations.

*Stop worrying about what others think. OH Hell NO baby- Rock that boat baby, the world needs the raw, untidy, extraordinary, messy, incredible and irreplaceable you. Shake it up. Your genuineness is magnetic; YOU were BORN to shine, glow and grow.

*Stop doubting yourself and putting things off because you don’t feel ready. NEWS FLASH…You are never ready, you will figure it out as you go with your flow. Believe in yourself, you are a force to be reckoned with, you always have the power and the creative juices, just trust yourself more. YOU are a warrior baby!

*Let go of your attachments to outcomes. Be open to the ‘curve balls,’ they are excellent opportunities to breath more and practice being ‘ok’ when the going gets turbulent. A realignment on the way is not a dead end, just a new beginning.

*Less worry and controlling how things need to be. There is this life force that is working for you, with you, in your and around you-USE IT. Trust that it works out no matter what. There is this invisible life force in the Universe that keeps things spinning-That is a “WOWIE.” Imagine the miracle(s) of life more and start trusting in that. It is the only gig in town.

*Less feeling you are not enough and that you are a divine being born beautiful with nothing to prove. Just be YOU. You are living a “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” Life!

*Less negative self-talk; the bullshit stories you tell yourself; I can’t, I am incapable, I am not worthy, I am not enough…Whatever your story is that does not serve you. ‘S T O P’ Choose new empowering beliefs that serve you up, raise your vibrations.

*Lose the shoulda, woulda, coulda story. Less overthinking and making decisions only with your mind or based on what you “should” be doing or what other people are doing. More tuning into your heart, soul, and intuition, because, you have an unlimited Source of love, wisdom and guidance inside of you. BAM!

These are Simple goals, easy to track, certainly not overwhelming.
The Mantra: I deserve love. I AM worthy of passion. I deserve a superb life.I hope that I have inspired you to love and honor yourself more; all the sum parts of your humanness; you are a beautiful soul!

It’s a tremendous honor, joy, and blessing to have this opportunity to inspire you here in “Self-Love Land” this past year! I am sending you SO much love energy, creativity, success, clarity, purpose, passion, abundance, meaning, fulfillment and mystical miracles for 2017 may you continue to ‘grow’ in love and ‘BE’ a loving presence to everyone and everything you encounter. Cheers!  Dolby Dharma

Leap for Joy!

Day Sixteen of the Self-love 31-day 5-minute challenge: Leap of Faith

I invite you today to think about or act upon something in your life that you can just 'Go for it, take a chance on something or someone or just start believing YOU CAN DO IT; whatever IT is?'

What is a leap of faith; it is when we believe in something or someone even though the circumstances are not visible or reachable yet, and maybe they won't appear as we had planned, maybe there is something bigger and better on the horizon for us that we could not imagine yet. Our idea or leap was/is just the fire started to get the energy rollin.

The only thing in life we know for sure is that life is dubiousness. We can’t predict how it’s all going to turn out no matter how calculated we are and some of us are pretty calculating. Thus, it is an excellent idea to roll with the changes, go with the flow and ride the wild ride, and "Why NOT'.

Fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty will endlessly make appearances even long after we took that leap of faith, especially if we are expecting our results immediately or just flat out have that expectation. But the actual magic begins to happen when we 'LET GO' and 'TRUST' that no matter how it turns out, we will be alright.

So many of us are blessed with so many extraordinary and unordinary abilities, it is not about measurable talents that we see, it is about the unforeseen creations that have yet to appear. None of us are meant to live ordinary lives we are extra unordinary humans with infinite potential to create. We are here to let go and plant our seeds to grow.

Take a chance, call someone you've been afraid to talk to, quit your job that you bitch about daily. Speak up and share your wisdom, ask for a raise, you deserve it. Replace fear of the unknown with a sense of desire and wonder for what’s to come. Love yourself more.

The list of fears can go on and on. REO Speedwagon said it in a song; "If you're tired of the same ole story, turn some pages and keep on rollin."

Ultimately, for me, “faith” is synonymous with personal trust and confidence, when I let go of how things look, life works in my favor no matter the outcome.

Happy leaps- Dolby Dharma

The Mantra: When I take a leap, I land safely. I am in love with life.

“Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.” - Eckhart Tolle

Be a Master of Each Moment!

Be a master of each moment. 
We get to make up our minds about what kind of day we want, how we would like to react to the speed bumps we come upon, but most of all use the god given power within to create a life that brings us peace, presence, and patience for ourselves and others.

Change up some of your habitual moves, strengthen your inner-vision and be open to the myriad of possibilities that your energy can bring to you each day.

Remember; Don't think about the things you don't want, but all the things you want to accomplish within.

Energy with intentions is the creator of change. But it’s important to remind yourself that a life of attainment does not usually happen in an instance or by chance, but by your intentions.

Now; Focus on what you want in your life and kick some ass!!!! 
Each day is a fresh start. Dolby Dharma
