I offer you three examples of how “Beingness” can be used to shift and change your experience in ALL moments!!
You have the power in every moment to create CHANGE!
Within in you lies the simple pure ability to create and manifest a life of joy, love, peace and so much more. Amazingly it takes less than 10 seconds!
You are at Choice,
Life Transforms in the small moments, one by one, they ripple to create more…
In your “Beingness” lies the truth to Transform you life…
In my last blog, I presented some of the opportunities life has gifted me with to explore Choice, to choose being a “victim” of my life story, or a “hero” lifted by gratitude.
Are you tired of hearing yourself tell the story about what “happened to you” AGAIN?
Are you ready to let go, surrender, forgive and thus open up space for more?
Do you prefer to repeat life patterns over and over and over again?
Do you enjoy being stuck in mediocrity and suffering?
The state of suffering is a choice… Your Choice!
Writing that last post was very difficult for me, I hear people say you have to share what you’ve come through, so people can relate. Yet, why? Why do I want to focus on that which was? Why would I not wish to live and celebrate in the here and now?
As I work with clients, and teach classes/workshops I am often shocked by how most people want to carry around their “sad story”. They choose to stay stuck between yesterday’s negative experience and today’s opportunity.
WHY???
While there are gifts in our reflections, they can also drown and blind us…
I wish for all people the pure Grace of Beingness! The Freedom, Peace, Joy, Expansive Gratitude and Playful Wonder of this space just makes me smile from within, creating a simple giggle.
I close today by asking you, “How do you want to journey life – stuck in your chosen suffering or dancing in the grace of Being?”It is Your Choice….
Today I challenge you, write down all the “stories” you have told over and over and over again while holding a negative emotion/energy.
Ask yourself if hanging onto this story serves you?
We shall explore more tomorrow.
Love, Freedom, Peace, Joy, Serenity, Grace lie within the space of your true Being…
If you Choose “Learning to Dance in the Grace of Beingness“, then continue to join me, for we shall explore more about Beingness and then next week dive into Transformation.
What an amazing week it has been to explore our Expectations. Now it is time to decide for yourself which Expectations serve you, creating more in your life and which ones burden you, limiting your growth and joy?
In truly listening, we can hear our truth…
Life is a constant journey of becoming. If we notice, breathe into our personal awareness and then choose for OURSELVES we start to travel down the path that is uniquely our own.
If we step in faith the path comes up to beckon us forward…
This means taking the time to unravel your Domestication, to stop Reacting and start Choosing for your own personal expansion. Embracing a path that empowers your desired emotional experience and learning that you ALONE have the power to live and manifest the life YOU desire.
You are Enough, You are Worthy, You are Perfect – Stop Fixing, Start Being…
As you have taken time this week to identify and notice your Expectations, you have been gifting yourself with a great awareness that manifests change.
Owning our truth is empowering...
The change is a powerful one, for you stop “Taking Things Personal” which undermines and powerfully impacts all relationships (see my book).
Many of our quiet Expectations are wrapped around our emotional desires and needs. Let’s look at a few examples:
Owning and sharing our desired Expectations frees everyone…
I enjoy touch, it is how I feel loved and how I share love.
If I have a partner who does not enjoy touch like I do, can I expect him/her to give me touch?
Can anyone read my mind and know this?
If I do not share this truth about my desired Expectation what is likely to unfold?
How we like our surroundings is riddled with quiet Expectations…
I feel stress when the house becomes messy.
If I live with other people, how might the Expectation that I need a neat and clean house impact the relationship?
What if I do not share my truth?
We often assume those closest to us know our Expectations and needs…
Deep personal conversation is how I truly connect with others. In my intimate relationships it is “foreplay” for me.
If I do not communicate this truthful Expectation in my friendships or intimate relationships, what will unfold?
Will my needs get met?
Is it fair to expect others to know this?
Today, take the time to notice your Expectations (download worksheet) – then get Truthful about them. It is amazing what can become when we own our Expectations, share them or Choose to let them go.
What might you learn about yourself, your family and the world around you if you truly explored the Expectations that riddle your life?
How do Expectations limit our pure potential…
If you were suddenly picked up and placed in the middle of a small village in Vietnam what would you witness that was different? What Personal Expectations about how people should live, might you face? What about how we should eat? What we should be doing? How we dress, communicate, the list goes on and on…
What wonders might we discover if we set ourselves free of Expectations..?
Now you are lifted and placed in the middle of Moscow, Russia. What might you struggle with here? Why? How do your Expectations that are wrapped up in your Domesticated upbringing impact how you adapt?
How can you use your Personal Expectations of the self to experience more..?
Next you are carried to the Al Haram Mosque, Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. What would you feel? Why? How much of what you feel is created by what you are taught, what you should EXPECT by being there?
How much of what you believe is dictated by the fears and Expectations of others..?
Finally you find yourself dropped into a farm in the middle of Nebraska, in the United States. As you place yourself into the experience what do you now feel? Notice your physical, mental, and emotional reactions. Where do they come from? Why?
What a powerful experience to notice our immediate reactions, for then we are Choice to Change…
As you gift yourself with the awakening to your Domesticated Expectations the world becomes a much more friendly place, for we begin to understand that everyone is living from a place of “taught” ways to BE and DO. As a human BEING what might you discover if you explore the depths of your own desires and passions, setting yourself free from Expectations that do not serve your truth?
Why waste time exploring Expectations? Who cares? What does it matter?
I daily observe and witness the backlash of Expectations. Some are subtle, while others compound and intensify into something quite frustrating. As humans we tend to carry around the idea that people “get it”, of course they know what we want and how we want it, right!? Doesn’t everyone do it that way, want it that way? The truth – NO!!
Is quiet time alone an expectation you have in your life?
We are all unique, raised in different homes, impacted by our own special families, brought up in a culture and way of thinking and believing that is exclusively our own. Therefore our Domesticated Expectations are individualistic in addition to those that we have chosen personally for our way of being.
Notice today as you walk around, how does someone in your office prefer their desk? Is it neat or cluttered? How do you drink your coffee versus your friend? Do you make your bed, but your partner never makes the bed? Are you one of those people that has the personal Expectation to work out everyday? Do you Expect people to open the door for you? Etc..??
Do you expect people to know, understand, respect and honor your rituals, religious beliefs, spiritual ways of being, without communicating?
Tomorrow we will dig into our assumptions around Expectations – the powerful boomerang effect that can have some really negative impacts. To prepare for that, think about how you do or do not communicate your Expectations. Do you Expect your family to know what you want, how and when? Do you Expect your partner to know certain things that you have never communicated? At work, do you assume that your boss and colleagues know how you feel and what you like/want?
