Enjoying life, love and a new year! The new start has so much movement, transformation and new beginnings with the old escaping leaving more to be invited in. Gratitude for all that has brought me to this place within my own heart that makes everything happening now, possible. My heart is full like this sky wanting to snow.
What is the BIGGEST possibility of me?
Leaving space in my life for creativity to flow through me is not easy. I have to be my own distraction police. Living in this extreme existence with all the information, ideas and instantaneous impulses it is a lot of work not to jump at them all. Saying no to things is saying YES to me. Sounds like a a greeting card but it is so true.
Part of my new year is to incorporate saying YES to life and taking opportunities that present themselves. All I have to do is to define what sorts of things that help me to create the opportunities and all else I must say no to. I also have been creating a new statement for myself - a mantra of sorts to read and embody daily. This statement is formed to help me create those opportunities into being.
I highly recommend that you too create a 2011 statement for yourself. One that lifts you and brings forth your passion when you read it. It can be a poem that inspires you but it is better if you write it because the closer it is to your heart the more it will ignite your universal connection and pull it towards you.
My statement is a whole paragraph and it is adapted from some writings I have collected and made into my own. When I read it, I feel powerful, unstoppable, completely in my spirit!! It is awesome.
If I learned anything this past year it is how powerful of a creator I am especially when I am creating consciously. It does place way more responsibility on the quality of my thinking, feeling and actions. Growing my knowledge, compassion and love is where my focus shall remain always, everything else is second.
This is the question that helps me to clarify what to say no to: Is this growing me spiritually and drawing or pushing me further away from my ultimate possibility? If it is no then I say no. Sometimes though, I still say yes when it should be no;) It is important as well to be spontaneous and carefree.
I know that it is only through our limited knowledge/understanding/compassion that we perpetually create a limited experience. I have experimented over and over to the point that it is so obvious, I can see it coming as I am creating it in my thinking.
THINK BIG
I don't know about you, but I was not taught to think big. I was taught to thrive in the status quo, get a job, not to rock the boat, to be happy/thankful with what I have, and not to be selfish.
Thinking Big is a relatively new concept to me and having a Big Picture in mind for myself has been a key part of what I have been able to create for myself. Thinking BIG is being more of who you really are inside. Following those dreams that kindle in our hearts and pushing ourselves past our own taught limitations. If we were taught that walls could not contain us then could we walk through them?! Many physicists believe that science proves this to be true. What do you think is possible?
What are your limitations and how are they keeping you from all of your possibilities?
Visualization is one very important key component to all of creation. If you can see it you can be it - heard this one before?! My dad used to say, "If you say you can't then you can't." Same sort of idea. All we have to do in order to have something or to be who we really are completely is to be able to first visualize what that looks like. I find it best to start writing it out as my mind is quick to make all sorts of pictures and colorful images.
When I teach art the first think I ask my students to do after warming up is to visualize their drawing on the paper before they begin. It is amazing how this takes away that blank page hesitation/anxiety. The same is true in life. Give it a whirl - it is MAGICAL! And so are we!
THINK BIG & LOVE BIG
I surround you in your biggest idea of yourself, in your full creative spirit, being all that you don't even know that you are yet!!
xoxo
