"Feelin Alright"

Day Twenty-Seven of the Self-love 31-day 5-minute Challenge: Self-Awareness

Create a list of at least 10 of your virtues, talents, accomplishments, and the things that make you 'uniquely' you. We all have many attributes that make us distinctive, some we are aware of, and others not so much. Getting to know thyself in a busy world is not an easy task unless we make some time to acknowledge ourselves.

Journaling our features helps us recognize ourselves, and maybe ignite a spark to help us hone in on a quality about ourselves we might not be aware of that we can foster more of.

Creating a daily habit of self-awareness contributes to changing up the way you might feel about yourself in a positive way, and allow for more acceptance when things don't go how you would like them. Unfortunately, that is when we can beat ourselves up, and give up.
Most of all don't be shy about your qualities, you are an amazing being, and self-awareness is where you can discover your dormant treasures.

A real voyage of Self-discovery ahead. Bon Voyage!  Dolby Dharma

Day Eight of the Self-love 31-day 5-minute challenge: Guidance

I invite you to think about where you receive your answers from.

Align with that deep place in the heart that loves and accepts everything just as it is. The heart doesn't bust out to get answers, it just knows what to do.

Just for five minutes today if you need to find an answer or solution to something just ask yourself, seriously, ask out loud, quiet your mind, ask then listen. While seeking advice and guidance from others can be helpful at times, it is not always the best way to help ourselves.

I have always said, "If you have to ask, you already know the answer."

Your challenge today is this: Trust yourself, trust that your inner advisor, guide, mentor knows what to do. For me, it is a 'feeling' a 'knowing' that already knows, but when I feel the need to ask others, it is the ego and my insecurity that rises. My fear that I will get it wrong that I don't trust myself.

 

1) Create a Harmonious Forum - Whatever will help to create space that will put you in a calm, quiet, and peaceful mood.

2) Turn Within -Simply close your eyes and turn your attention inward and just breath, focus on the breath, the answers will come.

3) Listen for Wisdom - without judgment, without conclusions, without action, just listen.

4) Let the resolution makes it entrance- Even if the answer doesn't appear immediately, it will eventually happen and most likely not the way you anticipated. Don't force it or guide it along, just let it happen when it happens.

5) Act from the Heart - That is your confidence, your knowing, that is YOU. Just know there is no 'right or wrong,' just 'the way'! There are many truths in life, find yours.

Bust out your passion!

Day Five of the Self-love 31-day 5-minute challenge: Passion

Today I invite you to unwrap your passion in whatever you are doing, really dig in and give it your heart and spirit. It doesn't matter what it is, it can be: having lunch with a friend, hanging out with yourself, doing nothing but relaxing and feeling good about it, helping people, or just having a conversation with a stranger.

Tap into how you are feeling while doing it. If you felt joy, there’s a hint of what you are passionate about right there at that moment and the beauty is passion is the gift that keeps on giving, it keeps evolving as you move through life.

Passion doesn't necessarily mean work or a particular talent, it just means being in the moment with whatever you are doing. Passion is NOT a “niche”. You can be passionate all over the place.

Passion is the journey of our day to day life. Passion is enlivenment. 
Passion is an emotion to be acted upon at the moment something shows up, and you feel drawn to open up more. Passion is about uncovering your authentic self. Passion is about discovery; it is the day to day hidden treasures that are right in you, around you and in front of you. Passion is the ebb and flows of life. Passion is not something to get, it is YOU.

Allow your passion to bubble up and out. Find what you are passionate about just for today? Live your Joy! Life will just get better and better. Dolby Dharma

Today’s Affirmation: I AM a passionate life. I feel my passion with every breath. I am alive with passion.
