What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love

  Allowing   for today to happen,  Accepting  that this day may not turn out as  planned,  Accommodating  for what is, and not what I may  want,  When I am grounded in  Allowing, Accepting and  Accommodating , I invite Sufficiency of what is  rather than scarcity of what is not. Seven Stone Leadership I have noticed that when I set a rigid to-do list on any particular day and things come up and I have to shift them, I start feeling anxious and annoyed. It is as if changing these plans or re arranging the list is a bother, an upheaval, a form of non achievement. I decided then, instead of writing a to do list daily I would set an intention and give the day to the Universe. Giving the day to the Universe, I ask for guidance on what is to come. I have noticed that "giving the day away" makes me less anxious and edgy. I have been practicing the giving away. This is not to say that I neglect the commitments that I have, the differe...

  Stop Thinking And start  feeling . Thought processes, as you have become familiar with them, are not needed here. Instead, begin to pay attention to the feelings in your body. Pay close attention to your chest and stomach areas. When people talk about “gut feelings,” they are referring to intuition. It creates very real feelings in your body. When you start to notice them, you can begin to listen to what they have to say. Leaders Edge Noise Drowns It Out....gentle reminder to self. The small voice within is your guide, it gives you specific, tailor made divine guidance & works particularly well when we ask, it works even better when we get still, when we pause. It never shouts, sometimes it whispers, you will miss it if you are too "busy", if you are drowning it out with excessive "noise". "Noise" can be self judgement, drinking too much alcohol. working too much, condoning toxic relationships,not taking responsibility for your actions, too much TV ...

 There are so many ways to go backwards, but only one way forward . Danielle La Porte Give yourself some credit, give yourself a high five. Why? Eight months into a global pandemic that threw the world into a tail spin, you are still here - you deserve to say well done to self, to appreciate this. Give yourself some credit for waking up daily and doing what you need to do, if you are doing what you want to do, give yourself an even bigger pat on the back. Give yourself a break, this has been an intense year. Many literally have not made it.  Give thanks for the opportunities, the lessons and the blessings. Celebrate the difficult conversation that you had that you usually avoid.  Give yourself credit for having the courage to do that new thing that you kept procrastinating with. Congratulate yourself for speaking up even when your voice was trembling.  Many times we forget to celebrate ourselves, to give ourselves credit when we are so focused on achieving a particul...

  SOUL DESIRE: To be a channel for unconditional love, abundance,  and growth. PURPOSE: To nurture growth and create community. Solutionary.Com The brilliant Journey of Life calls for us to remember and to recognize. Life is a calling for us to remember who we are and recognize that who we are is never dependent on anyone or anything outside of ourselves. That we have been given all the required tools. We may not see, notice or believe that we have, that lack of belief does not change what is. Think about the signs we have been given when we feel that we are at the end of the rope? Think about the support you have received in times when we require it? Think about the grace you have been given when you make choices made in fear? We are called to recognize and remember that we are on a collective Journey. That may mean we do not always see eye to eye with everyone but we can do it with respect and in love.  We may have to set some boundaries and say no. We may have to forgi...

  Guidelines for Creating Authentic Power - Focus on what I can learn about myself all the time, especially from my reactions (such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, and impatience), instead of judging or blaming others or myself. - Gary Zukav My contribution to the 2021 Initiation Portal was called the Power of Authenticity. I wanted to give my own personal take, the lessons  that I learnt on what authenticity has taught me and how I harnessed  its power to improve  how I live my life now. I wanted to share what and why did I think authenticity was important.     Authenticity is the knowledge and acceptance of Self - all aspects of Self, the parts you like and the parts you struggle to accept. Authenticity is the ability to show up with the knowledge that you are divinely guided, through your intuition and other signs which are there for you always. Authenticity is the recognition that you are a unique being,  filled with innate power. Authe...

you can't control your way to real love and happiness Yung Pueblo A dear friend of mine sent me a link from Oprah, who has chosen this month to feature seven books that got her through dark times. My friend's message "looking forward to seeing yours" Well, they say ask and you shall receive, here it is my friend 1. Love Without Conditions - Paul Ferrini - taught me so much about unconditional self love and helped shift my thinking from seeking external validation alone as a way of being seen and heard. 2.  A Course in Miracles - another mindset shift which emphasized to me that only love is real, and nothing threatens love. 3.

 But whatever you do, don't forget about that word choice - Jessica Dore There is an old saying "however you make you bed, you have to lay in it" My interpretation of it was always that whatever choice I made I would have to endure it. What I have learnt is that when we make choices, there are consequences. We must live with and accept the consequences but we can always make another choice.  Each choice supersedes the previous one. Choices allow for us to activate our innate power. When we allow others to make  all our choices for us, we give that power away. This action usually leads to resentment and resistance as we haven't participated in the choices that impact us, when we can. Not making a conscious choice or not participating in choices that you know you must is living by default. I have also learnt that when we do decide to make a choice,  it must be from a place of love, rather than fear.  Make your choice - from a place of love. Make your choice - usin...
