We are Powerful and Worthy

 So, I hope you will allow your life to be bigger than you ever thought it could be. I hope you will wipe the mental slate clean and begin again with the truth of who you are today and all that you hope to be tomorrow - Brianna West



I had a moment where the penny dropped today - what if its my mind that is holding me back? What if it is what I telling myself or not telling myself. What if its my own self talk that is holding me in this place where I am out of flow?

Now, I must confess, it is difficult to admit to myself that I am standing in my own way. It, however is the starting point of a willingness to do something different and see a different perspective.

What and how we been speaking to ourselves and thinking about ourselves?

Our minds are so powerful, think about it, something comes up that is not even real and we give it life by a thought, it can impact the way we feel.

When I believe that I am in danger, my belly starts flipping- it does not even have to be real! I only have to think that I am and there I go, belly hurts, head hurts. When I realise that I am not in danger, I now have to calm down. This is how powerful our minds are

So what if we use the power of our minds, the power of our thoughts to think ourselves into different and bigger possibilities? To remember who we are - valuable beings with nothing to do to prove how valuable and worthy we are.

I sometimes in moments of fear, forget my value and worthiness and start bargaining for it, I start looking for it outside of myself with people, jobs, and externals. Then life reminds me, sometimes with a shove, that there is no need to prove to anyone nor bargain your value and worth. Change the way you think, how you talk to yourself to center you, to return to who you are.

Let us remember that we are powerful and worthy, we start there- Always.


Peace

What is being of service? 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
