Need a motivational kick in the butt?

This January has been AMAZING for me. Could be that I am celebrating that I carefully and secretly hope/know/wish and FEEL that my adrenal fatigue is a thing of the past. It "only" took 2 years to heal and it's been two solid years in the fog. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever come back. I hear that in the world of Adrenal Fatigue, 2 years is actually not that long, and me taking massive action to heal paid off.

This year, 2012, is going to be my best year yet! The past 2 (nearly 3) years I haven't been able to dream big. I haven't felt inspired to do anything, and I only had (barely) enough energy to do the things I have to do to stay afloat (and sometimes my husband had to hold me above the surface). I've parented, I've had fun (but a dulled kind of fun), I've lived life as fully as I could, but I have felt wing clipped.

The veil of lethargy was finally lifted, and I find myself wanting to be inspired, ready to create, and I'm thrilled that I feel energized enough to know that I can take action and actually DO some things :)

 

A HUGE help and motivation has been the Goddess Guidebook. It's just gorgeous, and fun, and inspires me to dream just as big (no bigger) than I want. 

                                                                 

I signed up to be an ambassador because I just adore this fun book :) This wonderful goddess offers up some nice free things too - here.

Solution seeking - three simple steps

1. Be aware and informed! 

2. There are many problems - shift your focus onto the solution.

3. Manifest the solution!

 

1. To be aware and informed may seem contradictory to many followers of the Law of Attraction and believers of positive thinking. It is not. We need to accept reality. Just as a drawer full of clutter, or a corner filled with dust, won't clean themselves, reality will not simply "go away".  By pretending that we can't see, or refusing to hear, what is going on in our world, we are not making our planet a better place. 

It is equally wasteful of our powerful energy to be so absorbed in drama, sickness, poverty, bad news and horrible world events, and to continue to feed those events with more nourishment in the form of human energy.

It is also true, that you will have to choose the type of news that you choose to take in. If we live by striving to be the change we wish to see in the world - we must be more concerned with events and situations that directly impact us - and that we can influence.

 

2. Once we become aware and awake to the way things are, and this reality, that is when we become truly powerful. Every problem and unwanted situation has a solution waiting for you to find it. Seek the solution, allow our energy to flow there - and take action!

 

3. Taking action to manifest the solution is often the missing link. We can feel so powerless while witnessing all the sadness in the world. 

Taking action can mean a lot of different things. Once we have identified a solution to a particular issue, we may have to chunk this issue down into bite sized and realistic action steps, that we as individuals and smaller groups can accomplish. Ending world hunger, saving all the children, end poverty, stop world pollution or what ever it might be, can be within our power, if we begin closest to home. 

Often overlooked, and the simplest form of action, can be just changing our perception of the situation. Our thoughts are energy. Where our attention goes, that's where our energy flows. We are never entirely victims, never entirely powerless - we are always able to choose whether we would like to think about bad situations or positive solutions.

Shifting our thoughts from feeling like powerless victims of circumstance - to powerful human beings who can and will change the world - one thought and action at a time - is a great starting point. It brings us out of the weaker energy field into an energy field that is strong and healthy.

Thinking about the solution is and obvious simple step that we can all take part in. Some of us can do more. Some of us will be able to do a lot more. Most of us will do more as a result of thinking differently. Thoughts become actions. Actions become our reality.

 

 

The battle for your mind

 

While I think it is crucial to keep yourself informed on all the mad events going on in the world - we can never allow ourselves to forget that it is up to US - you and me - to create the world we want to live in.

We need to realize that there is a battle for our minds going on. If we lose that battle, and give in to being manipulated through TV, news and other propaganda, we will not live with peace and harmony in our lives.

Lately I've been so focused on making sure we're informed about what is REALLY going on in the world (not just the smoke in the mirror, main stream media news/propaganda - but the ACTUAL agenda behind it all) that I've almost lost track of the future that I'd rather be a part of creating.

Sure, it's ugly, the game that "they" are playing. It's easy to plummet into despair and give up the battle, but by doing that, we are playing right into their hands. 

Happy, free, peaceful and loving people - who care for themselves, their family, their neighbours, the environment and every living being - would not participate in creating a world in chaos. 

It is crucial that we are able to remember that WE have the power of our own minds, we are not about to lose that battle. We're powerful creators and WE can make or break events as they, and before they unfold. Focus on war, unrest, disasters, poverty and despair and that is what we get. Shift that focus away from what we don't want, and pay attention to what we DO want - and our reality will respond accordingly.

If, when looking at the world around us, (and since everything is a projection of what's going on inside) we see something we don't like, we need to stand up for ourselves. It is by participating in the things that seem right to us, that seem like loving gestures, by using the words that empower, and the thoughts that feel good, that we are going to break free and win the battle for our minds. 

By choosing to respond to the world in the most loving way - with a solution focused mindset -and change what no longer seem right and fair, we will win.

 

 

 

Shift and Change before it's too late

Lately there has been much focus on disasters. We see the world, as we know it, crumble around us. 

I know there is a shift going on. People who used to think we were nuts for choosing a lifestyle that didn't seem very convenient to most, are now much more open to finding out more about holistic health and there are many more truth seekers out there now, than even just a couple of years ago. 

All that is great - but I'm really lacking the spunk to try to convert people these days. It's all old news to me, and I'm rather tired of repeating the same old story all the time. That is - I don't try to push my lifestyle on anyone, whether it's someone I really care for or "just" a stranger - but if someone comes asking - I'm all over it ;) 

I've learnt that you can't change other people if they aren't motivated to change things for themselves. They need to either be hurting so much in their current lifestyle - or find a really compelling reason to experience great health - to be willing to switch paths and break free from bad habits and old beliefs.

A close friend of ours is battling cancer right now (a bad one) and it's really sad to know that if he had only been open to (and known about) health promoting food and habits he might not have been in such a dire state.

This guy is a really smart man, he has lots of love to give, children and a new wife. If the right kind of information had been available to him - maybe this cancer wouldn't have had to happen.

BUT, then again, maybe he hadn't. Maybe life was clicking on nicely, until it didn't anymore. 

Let's hope that this shift that is taking place, will wake more people up, before it's too late. I wish health, love and happiness for all.

 

Here's a clip that is a bit too much for me. Too brutally honest. But maybe it wakes some people up?

 

 

Awakening as one

Here are a few things to ponder. Not sure how true this rings to me - but it sparked a few conversations lately, anyway.

In my humble opinion, we need to be guided by what our hearts tell us - not what any gurus, or any organized religion or New Age teachings tell us to do. 

Some people say that we are imperfect and we need guidance (our hearts aren't pure enough) but life has taught me otherwise. I always rely on my inner compass. 

Otherwise this is a great message. We are awakening as one. There can be no judgement.

Bless it all.

 

  

A Message of Hope

If I wrote a newsletter here is what it would say.

 

Do not, even for a moment, forget that we are powerful human beings. We are magnificent creators and co-creators of this world.

We create the world around us by how we think and feel. Our emotions dictate our experiences - not the other way around.

At this critical time in our lives on this Earth, it is imperative that we take responsibility for ourselves, our feelings, our thoughts, words and actions.

We can be the change we wish to see in the world. 

Step up to the plate. Do your part. Lead with your heart. Make feeling good, at peace, happy and in love your priority. 

That is how we will create heaven on Earth.

Look around you. Your past thoughts, feelings, words and actions got you and us to where we are now. Do you like it? Is it what you want?

If not - you'll need to change your thoughts, you'll need to feel different, you'll need to choose different words and take different actions.

 

We don't have time to ponder this anymore. It's real. This is how it works: 

 

 

Wayseer Manifesto

Earlier this week, a fabulous youtube clip from the author of The DaVinci method, Garret LePorto and his Wayseers movement, made the rounds.

"All you rule-breakers, you misfits & troublemakers, all you free-spirits & pioneers... Everything the establishment has told you is wrong with you - is actually what's right with you... "

Time to reground and regroup

Many of us are aware that we are in the midst of a major transition for humanity. While change has always been the only thing constant in our world, this transition is different. We are witnessing how the world as we've known it for generations, based on materialism, is crumbling.

Personally, while being bombarded with news about the dire state of our world, I needed to reground myself, and seek out reminders from spiritual teachers about how we are all one, and our souls are eternal, and how we have all chosen to be on Earth, together at this time.

It would have been so easy to lose my footing during the past week, and I was grateful to have surrounded myself with the loving souls I seek out on a daily basis, as well as a network of online teachers and alternative news sources. 

While feeling the loss of lives in Japan, on some level, I am also able to feel grateful for their commitment to humanity and Earth, in helping us all open our hearts and feel love for people we don't know. 

The potential radiation exposure (for us on the North American west coast) reminded me, that while it is wise to be self sustainable (for a variety of reasons) ultimately we can heal ourselves and our world with how we direct our attention, how much we are able to love, our thoughts and feelings, our trust and our absolute knowing that we are limitless beings. 

Tom Kenyon (whose website seems to be down at the moment, so let me share one that posted his channelling from the Hathor's that resonated with so many - Denise LeFay -) was urged to share a fantastic meditation and channelling on how to make Medicines of Light.

David Icke's hopeful message to us (a decade old, but this needs to be repeated until it has been (re-)programmed into our subconscious minds again) says it all. We need to remember our potential - stay grounded in love - and free from False Evidence Appearing Real.

 

Love or Fear?

What a roller coaster ride it's been lately (and the full supermoon hasn't even hit us yet)! Have you noticed how easy it would be to get all caught up in FEAR mode? (False Evidence Appearing Real) I even caught myself thinking about stock piling food, creating a seed bank, and generally up our disaster preparedness.

All that is fine - but the problem with my thinking of all this, was how it was based in FEAR. If I can take a moment to catch my breath and find motivation to be living a self sustainable life (regardless of the number of disasters), I am creating a much different life experience.

It is a top priority for us, these days, to make decisions to ultimately be self sustainable. It is a very loving and grounded wish for our family to get to spend more quality time together, and to live in line with what we value.

How important it is (especially in these times) to take that moment to reground yourself and realign yourself with that inner feeling of love and peace. 

 

I was so happy to have found this little movie clip on David Icke's website, that pretty much sums it all up;

 

Love or Fear? It's your choice.

 

 

The love police

One of my friends unearthed this great youtube video and passed it along.

It's really relevant and has such a funny, loving and lighthearted way of bringing some important topics into focus.

We definitely need more people like these guys! Who's in?
