Be Still

What if you let go of labeling an experience as good or bad and instead just saw it as is?

Take for instance, your dog barking. If you let go of taking the barking personally, then labeling the behavior as being bad because your preference of no barking goes away.

How would that change how you feel about the experience?

When the experience doesn’t match what you desire to actually be happening, your expectation overrides what is actually occuring right in front of you.

When you slip out of the present moment, your thoughts take over and your inner critic emerges and gets louder and louder.

You may also may become worried and anxious about the future.

In the instance of your dog barking, when you slip out of the present moment, you may judge yourself for being bad for not being able to stop your dog from barking, or even label your dog as bad and blame him for doing what is natural to him.

Or, you may be worried about the what ifs of your dog barking when guests are planned to come over for a party at your house over the weekend. The anxious mind spins wildly out of control which then makes you feel like you have no control.

When you get back to your grounded being, you begin to access your creative mind and you begin seeing you have choices of what you can do.

Take a breath.

Be still.

Be open to what creative options show up and feel free to share below 🙂

Infinite Wisdom

The lesson we learn from our dogs is how the are free from their minds.

Freedom from self judgment or oppression.

They live in the present and are their purest selves.

When we live in harmony with our beloved furry companions, we heal ourselves not from the companionship alone, but how we can also access our own pure self.

We learn how to connect with our infinite wisdom and find the peace within.

The joy of being is already within you.

Whispers of the Heart

When you are experience turbulence in your life, do you begin seeking advice, answers and guidance outside of yourself?

When the answers you receive from others don’t “fix” the issue you’re experiencing, do you go on to the next?

Then when you do find someone who can help you, but you find out it doesn’t remedy issue all together, do you the judge and blame the other person for not relieving your pain?

When you get quiet and hear the words you’re whispering to yourself, you can become clear on the direction you want to go.

Often, the direction is not an absolute answer, it’s only part of your journey.

The invitation to take the next step.

The willingness to take action one way or another is within your full control.

Being aware of how you feel when you take action is what will give you what you’re desiring.

Peace. Freedom. Relief.

Listen to what your heart is telling you.
