Want More Creative Energy?

If you haven’t already caught on regarding the mind-body-spirit connection, maybe it’s time.

How well you care for (or don’t care for) any one of these directly affects how well they all operate.

Creative Energy may seem mental, but it’s also physical and spiritual. 

"Your mental energy is limited by your physical energy. How do you develop more energy of all kinds? You start by putting your body in top physical condition. Unless you do that, all your other activities won’t help much–you’ll be stuck with the mental and emotional energy that you have now." ~ Tom Hopkins

From the statistics offered, it does seem that more and more people are not taking loving care of their physical bodies.

Are you getting enough sleep?  Do you give your body healthy food? Are you physically active?

What’s one thing I can do each day to take better care of my Physical Body?

Following Your Passion IS Success

Success is a Journey, not a destination.  We are not defined by what we do.  Success is not what we do.  Success comes from BEing who we are truly meant to be.  We are meant to be Passionate, Creative and JOY-filled.

“Many of us are afraid to follow our passions, to pursue what we want most because it means taking risks and even facing failure. But to pursue your passion with all your heart and soul is success in itself. The greatest failure is to have never really tried.” ~ Robyn Allan

When we follow our Passion, we activate our Creativity and JOY automatically.  When we follow our Passion, we ARE Success.  It doesn’t matter whether our Passion is our Career or not.  What matters is that we follow it, one way or another.

Reject Public Opinion

We’ve all done it at one point in our life.  What someone else thought stopped us from doing something we knew, deep down inside, was the right thing to do.  What would so-and-so think?  I didn’t do it because so-and-so said…

We think it’s the other people that stop us, but it’s really us!  We choose to stop and use them as our excuse.  Don’t believe me? How many people in history were told it wouldn’t work, and they went ahead and did it? 

It’s really a choice of listening to them or listening to your Inner Guidance.

What if what isn’t working is simply who you are choosing to listen to?

"Maybe it is time to consider living dangerously. Maybe it’s time to reject the commands of power, the dictates of society and public opinion, and to stop worrying about what other people think about what you do. You have the power and ability to create your own reality — to change what isn’t working and to manifest what you desire." ~ Dick Sutphen

Early to Rise

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

Here’s another quote along the same lines.

"Early risers are happier, healthier, and more productive at work. They stay in better shape, earn more money, and report that they are more satisfied with their lives. Get up early and seize the day!" ~ Michael Masterson

I’m going to become “One with the Herd”

As each day passes, I get more excited, and to be honest I’m not fully aware of what it is I’m so excited about.

Let me give you a bit of history before I talk more about my excitement.

A few months ago I met Liz Mitten Ryan.  She’s the guest on Welcome Changes Radio for August 4th.  We prerecorded the show.  Be sure to listen to it.  It was an AMAZING conversation.

I read her first book to prepare for her show.  I couldn’t put it down!  And it was too beautiful to mark up with my usual highlighting.  It was filled with wisdom and beautiful pictures.

After her show I decided to participate in one of her workshops.  “One with the Herd”  I got that feeling again.  It’s that feeling of excitement that comes from somewhere deep inside me.  The excitement is beyond logical explanation.  I really had no idea what I was getting myself into.  I just knew I was supposed to be there.

Today Liz sent me this video.  I watched it.  The knowing is still there.  I’m meant to be there.  Now, however, there is a whole lot of curiosity mixed in.  I wonder who I will meet?  I wonder what I will learn?  I wonder where I will explore within myself?  I wonder what I will open up, and what I will find?  I wonder who I will be after the week has ended?

I’ll be driving through the beautiful mountains to get there, and I’ll be driving through those beautiful mountains to get home.  I’ll be gone for a week, and you can bet I’ll miss my boys while I’m gone!  I’ll be grateful for that drive home to process.  Everything is exactly as it should be.

When you get those knowing feelings, what do you do with them?  Do you listen? Do you question? Do you logic them away, or do you embrace them?

Liz has workshops through August and September.  I don’t know if they are full or not.  If you watched the video, and this resonates for you, register!  If you’re going to the mid-August session, let me know.  That’s the one I’ll be at!

Here’s the video again for your convenience.  http://www.horsebc.com/2009video/OneWithTheHerdWS.html

Don’t forget to listen to Liz’s show on August 4th at Welcome Changes Radio. 

Dream BIG!
