Balance

Do you have equal amounts of work and play and rest?
Do you take time to smell the flowers and enjoy life?
Do you know how to use your time and energy wisely?
Are you aware of what you need to be your best?

Usually we accommodate to the circumstances.
Usually we go along with the current trends.
Often we let others lead our choices.
And usually we compensate with the stress.

Being out of integrity is not living your truth.
Being at the effect of others leads to feeling victimized.
Going along with others who are off purpose is hard.
Choosing to find our own highest and best way requires paying attention.

Pay attention to how much sleep you need without medication.
Notice if you are at peace with no anxiety or tension in your body.
Watch to see how much you need to be alone or have companionship.
See what it does to have no silence with TV and noise all the time.

Most of us need to live very differently than our world offers.
We need to stop and pay attention to every pain and upset.
Each one is telling us we are going in the wrong direction for us.
When we are on path and living our purpose, we are in balance and at ease.

The cues to a life that is working is “safe, fun and easy.”
The clues to a life that is off purpose is confusion, upset, conflict and pain.
When we notice what is not right, our primary job is to correct the error.
Usually we have learned to bypass, dismiss, blame and self-medicate.

Quick fixes are commonly used to be able to continue going in the wrong direction.
Asking an expert or friend to tell us what to do is often a way of not being responsible.
Over-riding with doing more of the same may be our habit to push through anything.
Taking a few moments to stop, breathe, forgive ourselves and choose a better way is healthy.

Your life is important to you and others.
Life is not what you do.
Life is how you do your life.
Take time to clarify how you want to do your life.

Gently or harshly?
Easily or urgently?
Joyfully or fearfully?
Harmoniously or with conflict and hurt?
Safely or harmfully?
Respectfully or cruelly?

Only you can choose the way you do your life.
Take time to pause, reflect and write down your primary principles for your life.
How do I really want to live my life?
Only you can choose what is right and true for you!

Loving each one of us for finding our best way to live!

Ten Keys to Health & Vitality

NUTRITION
Ingest the best and forget the rest.  Take into your body, mind and spirit only that which supports, sustains and inspires the BEST in you.

MOVEMENT
Life is flow. To move with the flow is healthy. To resist is stressful. Move with the natural inner movement physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc.

BREATH
To breathe in (inhale) fully life energy, Spirit, Prana, inspiration, is to expand our awareness to open to an enlightened mind.  To exhale fully is to truly release what is no longer needed.

TOUCH
Reaching out with Love and respect for each other opens our bodies and beings to trust in the gentleness we all deserve to experience.

THOUGHT
Choose for those thoughts which heal and free you to be unlimited in health and wholeness. Forgive (erase) the beliefs which are limiting or false.

ATTITUDE
Carry with you an attitude of gratitude and love for yourself and others.  Allow yourself to see all things work together for good.

BALANCE
Moderation in all things will bring your life into harmony.  As we give ourselves what is really best for us, the extremes are gently released.

HEALTH
What you perceive in others and the world you strengthen in your Self.  Focus on illness, disease and weakness and you actually weaken yourself.  See only health and wholeness and you move yourself in the direction you are looking.

PURITY
To clear out toxins and purify the system requires a willingness to eliminate toxic thoughts, activities, relationships as well as foods from your system.  Flushing the system clean is aided with water, fresh air, gentle movement and forgiveness.

REST
To rest and relax your mind and body are invaluable to being refreshed and revitalized. Each person has unique methods of relaxation - meditation, music, being in nature, focused simple activity.
