Nourish Your Soul – I Experience My Power When…

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 03:12:32 +0000

I’m not talking about physical strength or power over another person. It’s the power inside you that comes from your connection with your soul and when you have command of your thoughts. Once you are able to identify your feelings and emotions, and are able to express them in a way that allows you to be heard, you will know that you are in your power.

Your Energy Tip of the Week: Notice throughout your day how you experience your power. When you experience it and how you express it. You’ll know you’re in your power when you are clear, connected to your soul and feel in control. Pay attention to what that feels like. Also notice when you give it away. What circumstances cause you to lose power? In those moments remember to connect to your soul.

Nourish Your Soul – I Love Myself For…

How often do we take the time to appreciate our SELF, if ever? If we wait for another to prove we are loveable we might wait for a very long time. We might not recognize the attention we’re getting as love therefore we’re missing out. Love yourself and it will decrease the need for external validation.

Your Energy Tip of the Week: Along with your gratitude journal why not start an appreciation journal? I appreciate ________ about myself. I appreciate myself when _________ I appreciate that I am able to ___________ Continue to come up with lots of ways to appreciate yourself. You will begin to love yourself without realizing it. It’s that simple. Just commit to acknowledging yourself in a positive way. Your own goodness will slowly have you appreciate yourself without a lot of work.

Nourish Your Soul – How Would I like to Feel in This Moment?

In this moment I have right now ~ how would I like to feel?

Isn’t it interesting how we let the circumstances around us dictate how we feel, instead of influencing our circumstances so that we can choose to feel good? I know some will say “it’s not my fault”, but how you choose to feel in any given moment is your responsibility.

Your Energy Tip of the Week: When you feel things are getting out of control and you begin to feel just a little bit crazy, ask yourself “How would my soul respond to this?” whatever it is, and instead of saying “I don’t know” act as if you did know. In doing so, you get used to feeling the presence of your soul. Over time you will recognize the influence you have on the circumstances around you.

Nourish Your Soul – It’s All About Me!

Many people want to live their life honouring themselves but don’t understand how to do this without feeling guilty or selfish or experiencing some other reaction that has been instilled over many years. By reacting with these pre-programmed responses, we are not being true as good stewards of our own lives. We have to believe that our life has merit and in doing so, we have to be true to our self first. How often do you neglect yourself to make things right for others?

Your Energy Tip of the Week: Ask yourself these questions ~ Is this a win/win situation or am I sacrificing too much to make this other person happy? Does what this person is asking of me resonate with who I want to be? How do I fit into this equation? How will the outcome affect my life? None of the answers to these or other questions you might ask yourself should be a negative to you. Be true to your soul ~ that deep inner part of the truth of who you are.

Nourish Your Soul – Find 5 Minutes of Daily Quiet Time

admin — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:31:01 +0000

Doesn’t that sound wonderful ~ time out just for you? How many of you take advantage of creating that precious time just for you? I’m talking about Doing Nothing! Being alone with your thoughts, your feelings and creating a sense of well being between the two within yourself.

Your Energy Tip of the Week: This is what I LOVE to do ~ UNPLUG. Unplug everything physical, the radio, telephone, internet, TV, any noise making machine that will distract you from stillness. Pay attention to what your mind is drawn to. (Don’t do it ~ just notice) I recommend you make each quiet time last a little longer until you’re able to enjoy your own company for up to 60 minutes.

Nourish Your Soul – I See Me in You

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:56:28 +0000

As outrageous as it sounds, we are all carbon copies of each other. Not externally in a physical way but internally in a spiritual way. We are all driven by wanting to be loved and accepted for who we are. How we live and express this need through the external being, quite often makes a mess of it. We give double messages, we lie to ourselves and others, we complicate our lives wherever we can to hide the obvious. In the end, you’re only hiding your true self (or hiding from yourself).

Your Energy Tip of the Week: The next time you lash out or shout at someone, boss or bully someone, intentionally hurt someone or withhold information you know a person needs, remind yourself that they are just like you. They too want to be loved. Everything is so temporary… fill those moments with love.

Nourish Your Soul – Actively Growing Every Day!

admin — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 14:40:15 +0000

We human beings are not static matter, but rather, we are energy in motion (Emotion). Even if you were to sit quietly and still your mind, you would feel yourself humming. What emotions are you feeding yourself? Do you want something better? Plug into your soul for the answers and start making immediate changes for the positive.

Your Energy Tip of the Week: You’re having a miserable day because everything around you is overwhelming? Sit, breathe in and out slowly and still your mind. Connect with your soul and wait…….. trusting you will get the answer that is needed. (Not necessarily the one your mind comes up with.) Keeping your mind still gets easier over time. Meditation helps to hone that skill.

Nourish Your Soul – New Ideas & Inspirations

admin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:22:23 +0000

How many of you look forward to Spring? I’m sure we all do. Your soul is ever ready to spring new ideas on you. It’s called ‘inspiration’. Are you listening? Or is the mind so clogged with perceptions, beliefs and memories that there is no room for newness?

Your Energy Tip of the Week: Start listening to your soul more and take advantage of the inspirations that help you to live a more balanced life. I suggest you let your mind go by daydreaming, playing games of “what if” in your mind and be open for those inspirations you’re looking for to pop into your awareness. Then act on it… otherwise those inspirations are just ideas.

Nourish Your Soul – All is Possible!

admin — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:32:44 +0000

I can hear “oh yah sure!” The reason you have trouble imagining all is possible is because your focus is too broad. All is possible when you break it down into bite sized pieces. Take one thing and chip away at it as though it were a specific moment. Then say, “yes, I can!” and continue to fulfill the individual focused moments until all the moments add up to what it is you want. It’s like working with building blocks ~ One block at a time, one moment at a time, adds up to a desired outcome.

Your Energy Tip of the Week: Be absolutely clear of what you want to accomplish, break it down into steps that need accomplishing and further break it down till it’s done! Take each moment of accomplishment and celebrate your achievements along the way by sharing it with a friend. This gives you the juice to carry on.

Nourish Your Soul – I’m Taking a Risk Today

admin — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:27:05 +0000

For some reason you might want to dodge ‘risk’ in your life. For our purpose here I’d like to address risk taking with regard to personal boundaries, as an opportunity to grow. For some, taking a risk implies losing out and for others it means a gain. Either way risk is an unknown result. What if you were to take a risk simply to get out of your comfort zone and experience something new to you?

Your Energy Tip of the Week: Go out of your way to do something risky so that you can get familiar with the feeling of taking a risk. (Whatever risky is for you ~ like being seen more because you dyed your hair a different color, or wore a patterned shirt you wouldn’t have dreamt of before ~ Easy things.) That way risk will take on a whole new meaning and will in fact be more useful to you in many ways. Next time you’re wanting to take a risk ~ check your motives and ask yourself whether or not it is truly a risk. Have fun with this and see how your life opens up. Woohoo!!!
