Mindfulness Meets Real Life — AFFIRMATIONS

PEACE Peace within is peace without.  Peace is a state of mind and being.  When you are centered and peaceful, it radiates out from your heart center to those around you.  No matter what frenzy is going on, you will have the ability to stay rooted ~this is what we strive for.  No matter how challenging the situation is, we stay focused and steady.  The place of peace is available to those who are ready to tap into it.  We only need to remember...The seeds of peace have been planted by the Divine...it is up to us to sow them....

“Always remain larger than what is happening around you.” ~Solara   TRANQUILITY AND FORGIVENESS What does it really mean to remain larger than what is happening during these energetically powerful times?  To me it means, "in order to keep your shoes clean- stay out of the muck."

I paused before I took the first bite...

Like many of you, I have many different things vying for my attention during the waking hours! Too many people, phones, and shiny things all trying to entice me. It's quite the conundrum that modern technology makes our lives simpler and more complicated at the same time!              OY! How can we weed out the distractions and actually accomplish the things that are important? If you want to know how to stay focused in this crazy, busy world; and actually get stuff done, then read on. One thing you might not know about me is...

Ever have one of those days, weeks or even months where things just aren't running right? Too much to do, too little time. Not focused on the things you do want; barely the energy to do the things you need.

You feel like you are spending your days just getting stuff done; but not spending the quality time doing what you want. Too much to do; not enough time to get it done.

Balance is sometimes over-rated; we just need to be able to take a step back and re-focus our energies before moving forward.  

What if I told you that it's possible to get off the treadmill of never-ending activity- and take back control of your life?
