Leap for Joy!

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.

Peaceful Warrior!

Day Six of the Self-love 31-day 5-minute challenge: Peace   
 Today I invite you to fill your heart with inner-peace, that space where self-acceptance dwells. Life is busy busy busy, and sometimes we forget that all we must do is close our eyes and remember, 'There's no place like home.' 

Peace is letting go, living moment to moment. Do not plan the next minute, hour or day for five minutes; feel peace, believe peace and know that peace is the path of acceptance. Your breath will be your guide, just focus on your inhales and exhales and let it all go!

Inner peace is not something to achieve, it is your birthright, you just must access it and know it is within your power to create a few moments of peace that is always available to you.

Ways to help tap into your heart space is to create peace with your hand gestures, feel your heart beating, free your mind and listen to the inner voice of love and acceptance; YOU are enough. Act peacefully, speak peacefully and feel peacefully. Peace comes from making changes within the heart. Peace comes from your intentions.

As we know ourselves more, know we are loved by a divine source, a calmness brews within filling the heart with inner-peace that fuels the body mind and spirit, and you come to this place inside you that you can endure, regardless of what challenges life brings to you.

Peace opens, as you melt into your true nature; that you are whole, perfect and powerful within.

Today’s Affirmation: I hold peace, love, and serenity in my being, I welcome a new way of thinking as I shift my approach within.

 “You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” ~Eckhart Tolle

Letting go and allowing Life's flow!

A long time ago, I almost drowned in a lake while on vaca. I am an excellent swimmer; I practically grew up in the water; pools and beaches were my refuges. 

Everyone was on the shore relaxing, and I decided to go for a swim. The undercurrent was apparently quite strong as I drifted far out away from the shore without realizing it until I got tired and looked back.

I realized I was in trouble and started to panic, I yelled for help and attempted to swim back. The more I was going nowhere, the more anxiety and panic set in. No one on the shore could hear me yelling; some even waved to me thinking I was waving back at them, after all, they knew I could swim.

Something came over me like a gentle breeze, a whisper, "let go everything will be alright." At that moment, I totally surrendered, stopped struggling, laid on my back, took deep breaths, relaxed and started to move my arms in a gentle backstroke towards the shore.

It was crazy how fast I ended up back to the shore effortlessly. That was a pivotal moment in my life for real. I swear, the Universal energy had my back, or it wasn't my time.

The only thing that is a constant in life is we are continually met with change and challenges; some we like and other's not so much. The key is to remain open, fluid and to stop struggling against the flow of life. 

Surrendering to 'what is,' is a knowing that 'it' will work out. Releasing how it is going to work out is how we enter the energetic shapeshifting streams of life. 

Having faith and trusting the process is how we stay connected to life's vibrations and believing the magic of life is on its way to support and serve us for our highest good. 

Just for today, let go and trust that you are being led and nurtured into the GREATEST expression of YOU! Be present in your heart, your highest self has your back. Dolby Dharma

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
