What Do You Do with the Old Programs in your Head?

“Be humble and ready to fumble.” Erika Hines

The Universe is always providing us with information, opportunities, knowlwedge and guides. All day, every day, life will provide us with the signs and guidance needed to navigate through where we are to our highest self.
When I remember this, it allows me to loosen the resistance to situations that I preceive as negative or nonesense.

The other lesson that I have been recalling is - show up with love and in love.
This means, rather that be resentlful of the situation, find some love in yourself whilst in the moment. I have been practising this with simple activities this week such as traffic. Initially I would express my annoyance with what we call in Trinidad and Tobago a steups. A sound made from kissing our teeth. Then I would bemoan about the cars on the road and ask myself where are all these people going - as if I am not going somewhere as well!

Now, I am practising to ask- what would keep me peaceful? It is music, so I turn on the music and have a jam party in the traffic. I sing, dance and smile. My peace returns. I deduced that if I practice with the small things when I am in other spaces with higher stakes I can take the opportunity to switch my thinking and mood.

Showing up in love is really about how you maitain a level of peace so that you can make better decisions when in a tight spot or just because better decisions make for better living.
Our default programme kicks in when we are in so called crisis mode or if we believe we must be protected from something. This is were the unlearning comes in.
Ask yourself: How can I bring love into this situation as it is now?

Ask Yourself: How am I blocking the opportunities being presented due to fear and unwillingness


and listen well enough to the response from the Universe - who really- has your back!
Peace

Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
