"Reclaim Your Power"

 Today's Lesson:

Note one reason why you give away power in your everyday life,

 and then ask yourself if that situation is worth losing your peace of mind over."

I give away a little piece of myself every time I paint, and then ask "What Do You Think?"

There is a little bit of me that still thinks,

" I can't believe I get to paint all day and people buy my artwork."

I am very blessed that way.

Artwork is not all of me though.

After I gave up my job, I had to start thinking about my worth in a whole new way.

 If I could not bring in an income.

 "What is my worth?"

Awe....goes the story.

 My worth can not be measured in money.

The things I do, contribute to, belong too, make, participate in, maintenance and enjoy.

I am reminded of a song India Arie sings.

I am not my Hair

I love her songs. If you need a little confidence boost, go to YouTube and start listening to her songs.

Redefine who you are, rethink who you are, stop the expectations.

My power lays in my heart, my mind, and enthusiasm for life.

Your Goal: to reclaim your power in a positive and mindful way."

I will leave you today to think about this one. It is a serious topic for me.

Since I like lists, I have given myself a challenge to come up with four things.

reclaiming my power for me will have to be on the level of

1. physical

2. mental

3.spiritual

4. financial
I have complied a list of words that I would like to describe myself with, and a promise to start marking down my likes and dislikes. I think there is something powerful in saying, I like this, I don't like that. It's positive, mindful, and firm.

My list is clear. My dedication is strong. My determination is powerful.

Be Grateful for what you have.

Be Inspired,

VISUALIZE A HEALTHY

 BODY AND MIND.

I have been visualizing for years. I have many tapes on meditation and just recently I have been using binarial beats to connect my mind/body to work together. When I slipped my L5 disc, I made a journal of the process of healing. This is a picture I made of myself listening to the tapes. Seriously, I believe that it helped. Along with all the other therapies I was doing and still do.

TODAY'S LESSON:

" Visualize yourself as a completely healthy person, inside and out. Do one thing that brings you closer to achieving that state. Your goal: to do whatever it takes to become the healthiest you possible!"

 Yes, this is so true. Changing my priorities about my health has been huge. I do not give up my morning meditation easily. Even when I'm on vacation. If it means I have to get up an hour earlier than everyone else to sit in meditation I do it.

This is a cane I bought at FISH, for 1.00.

Let me explain. I watched a movie called "Enchanted April".....as the story goes the Forrest on the property is the result of wooden canes given up by their owners and pushed into the soil and eventually they became trees. Of course there is more to the movie then that but I find the symbolism to work for me.

I bought this cane and I plan on sanding it down, decorating it, and then pushing it into the soil next to my olive tree in my garden.

What will this represent for me?

Giving up my crutch and becoming healthy, standing on my own two feet.

I'm giving up the pain, the sadness for a body that no longer does what it use to, now accepting it for what it can do for me. Knowing full well that I decide how my body and mind work together and that being the caretaker of my new body will take some work, understanding and compassion.

The dedication I have to being the strongest I can be now is the transformation I am doing this years. I am setting down the ground work and make the routines a lifestyle.

Later I will post the picture of my final cane and where I have placed it in the garden.

For Tonight, Friday the 13th and a Full Moon.

I plan on having a fire meditation tonight in the light of the full moon.

Be Inspired,
