Are You Seeing the Bigger Picture In Life?

When we are in the midst of a crisis, it’s not always easy to see the bigger picture because we are consumed with emotions and often overwhelmed. At the time you might only be seeing the immediate situation and not the ways you are being supported through this turmoil. We don’t always recognize the “good” in the “bad”, so to speak. Our egos like to take a strong hold in keeping us stuck in the situation and not wanting our eyes and hearts to open to the bigger picture. There is more to someone/something than meets the eye.

Life is Like a Buffet, Try Something New

One of the biggest challenges people face today is they feel life is just passing them by. Guess what? It is, unless you are willing to invite life in and try something new. Each day offers us something different if we are willing to see, touch, taste, smell and hear all that life is offering us. If you go to a buffet to eat, do you choose things you’ve never tried before? Or, do you take the same things as always? When you purchase clothes, do you try new colours? Or, do you stick with the same ones? How about your routines at home and work?

Does Today Feel Like a Perfect Day?

The dawn of each new day and each new moment is flawless even when it seems flawed by our thinking and emotions. When things are going well it's easier to say or think, "today is a perfect day", but when times are trying in your personal and/or professional life, it can be difficult to see beyond the present impasse or loss. What once seemed like it couldn't be more ideal soon can be filled with sadness, doubt, worry, anxiety, and angst. What happened to those wonderful, exciting, fun, passion filled days? Where did they go? They didn't go anywhere.

Are You Listening To What Animals Have To Teach You?

As well as enriching our lives, promoting healing, and emotional well-being, animals can teach us much about ourselves. There is something in relation to the animal kingdom that is fascinating and makes us feel alive, sit in awe, tugs at our heart strings or can leave us feeling fearful. Many offices, including doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc., have fish aquariams in their waiting rooms as they promote a calming effect. There are programs for seniors, long-term care patients, prisoners and youths that involve working with animals and/or having them visit thus promoting positive cal

Are You Making Time for Joy in Your Life?

It’s important to make time for joy, because you are JOY! When you do things that express who you truly are, it reflects in everything you do. When it’s all work and no play, there doesn’t seem to be much time for fun, laughter, friends, family, but mostly, you! Even if you’re passionate about your work, or home life, it can become the focus instead of an extension of who you truly are. Ask yourself these questions: * How do you express your joyous self?

Today I Will...

When you say, "Today I will…", can you feel the promise and possibility in these words? There is an openness to them. A chance to start anew. An opportunity to fine-tune the way you are doing things or to do more of what is working well in your life. These words can offer insights, creativity, promise, hope, excitement, love, peace, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, friendship, prosperity, and a second chance. When you begin your day with affirmations of intentions and positivity, it is a reminder that you are responsible for upholding and seeing them through the best you can.r

The Importance of Appreciation In Your Life

In your circle of friends, or amongst co-workers, or family members, or even from yourself, do you hear more complaining, blaming, criticizing and judging? Or, do you hear the appreciation for things and others in life? Are you the type of person spreading thanks, cheer and good will, or are you contributing to your own or other people’s doom and gloom? You can still appreciate life through all its ups and downs and twists and turns. Do you believe it? Are you able to do this?

Turn Your Highs Into Lows

Life is filled with glorious and not so glorious experiences. What constitutes lows for each person varies. For some, the smallest things may set them off. For instance, the weather may put a damper on their day, or someone says something that sends them into a frenzy. Perhaps something goes wrong at work or home that leaves them sputtering or stewing, or maybe they have to wait in line, or someone cuts them off while driving or takes a parking space, etc. For others these may seem trivial compared to losing a job, loved one, or coping with addictions or illnesses.

Are You Tuned In or Tuned Out About the Words You Choose?

The words we choose to describe ourselves, others, and situations give us hints about what’s working and/or not working in our lives. Or, what’s in harmony and alignment, or in disharmony and out of sync. Some are subtle like a whisper in a gentle wind and others are booming loudly like a wrecking ball on a construction site. The question is, "Are You Tuned In or Tuned Out? It’s like a foreign language, so to speak.

Are You Being Tricked By Your Beliefs?

Our beliefs create the way we see and trust the world. They may be conscious or subconscious but either way they can affect us and the way we live life. Thoughts are merely thoughts, quite innocent actually, until we attach a belief to them. It’s estimated that we have between 50,000 – 70,000 thoughts per day and for many people the majority of them are false beliefs about themselves, another, or the world.

Starting Over Doesn't Have To Be Stressful

I certainly have had my fair share of starting over, from jobs, to relationships, to finances, to moving, to working on a project, and even to the newsletters I write. I used to become really stressed when things changed, especially over the ones that would impact my life. I would get myself so worked up thinking the worst was about to happen, as my experiences were leading me to believe it was always going to be that way, and out of my control to change.

What Relationship Goals Can Do For Your Life

Relationship goals benefit you emotionally and spiritually as well as enrich your day to day experiences and connection to yourself, others, and the divine creator. Many people concentrate on business, personal, or physical goals which are very beneficial, but all too often they overlook or don’t feel relationship goals are as important. They are just as valuable, if not more so, because at the end of the day when your work is done, we are faced with ourselves and the interactions we have with others in our lives.

Setbacks? - 7 Tips to Realignment

We all experience setbacks or glitches along our sacred jou eys. It is how we view and handle them that realigns us, or set us off balance.

When setbacks occur in our relationships, jobs, health, well being, or a combination of these, it can be a challenge to see there are possibilities hiding in these very problems. They can leave us feeling frustrated, stressed, anxious, sad, depressed, alone, angry and perhaps second guessing ourselves.

7 Ways De-Stress When Your Buttons Are Pushed

What or who can push your buttons? I can think of a few. What about you? We all seem to have this invisible switch that sometimes gets turned on when something doesn’t go our way or someone upsets us. It’s almost as if we lose consciousness for awhile and this other person temporarily takes over. In a way, you do slip into unconsciousness when you are angry. It’s like a momentary, and sometimes longer, lapse of reason. You were fine, and then something/someone sets you off, and boom, you find yourself saying and acting in ways you normally wouldn’t.
