This Moment
This moment is what counts right now. This very second ... and now this one!
It's easy to get swept up in the stress and the chaos this time of year. It's even easier to set unobtainable expectations and strive for perfection in every way whether it's finding the perfect gift, having the perfect outfit or making sure your house is perfect for your company.
As you get yourself crazed over almost everything, you overlook the current moment that you are in.
You miss out on the smiles from strangers.
You miss the hearing the laughter of the child in the store.
You miss the opportunity to dance to the music playing everywhere you go.
You miss seeing the acts of kindness happening all around you.
Don't miss anymore moments. Enjoy every single one you have today, and tomorrow, and the next day. For moments is all we truly have.
You Are
Sometimes you need to remind yourself of who you truly are. Not what others say about you and not what you want others to believe but who you have always been and will always be deep at the center of your soul.
- You are brilliant
- You are strong
- You are bold
- You are funny
- You are fragile
- You are talented
- You are creative
- You are trustworthy
- You are sarcastic
- You are fun
- You are smart
- You are fearless
- You are caring
But most of all ... you are love. Don't ever forget that. You are a walking billboard for love. How you love, who you love, what you love and how you are loved back. Always remember who you are...
It's Not that Serious
More often than not we take life, and ourselves, way to seriously. We forget that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and with that experience come fun and laughter. We spend too much time stressing about situations that have occurred or "may" occur and far too little time realizing how blessed we are in the moment. Not only is there beauty around you all of the time but there is also a reason to smile, a reason to laugh and a reason to believe that everything will be okay. So take a deep breath in and on its release, look around you. What can you be joyful for? What can you smile about? And most importantly, how can you bring that light to others? Remember ~ it's not that deep! Enjoy the day!!
Filter
Throughout the day we are inundated with so many messages, so many opinions, and so many updates that it's easy to get swept up in it all. We are like a sponge. We absorb everything we see, everything we hear and everything we experience and at the end of the day we are left feeling tired, cranky, depressed or just plain pissed of. Well, what for? What good is that? Why are we allowing our mood and our experience to be dictated by everyone else?
It's time to set the filter on your life, not just on your Facebook page. Turn off the news, turn off your phone and spend some time with yourself figuring out what is "allowable" in your life - that goes for people in it too. Decide today what you want your life to look like, what messages you will allow in your space, and what energy you will surround yourself with.
Here's a hint - if it doesn't bring you joy, if you doesn't make you smile, if it doesn't uplift you, if it doesn't make you feel strong then it shouldn't be in your space!
