Today I ..
Do You wait for the beginning of a year, a month or a week or a specific day or time to start working out, or a new project, or to do something new for yourself?
I will start working out on Monday .. I will start making the calls next week .. I will start my routine at the beginning of the month.
This I think is just our regular pattern.
Don’t we all tend to do this?
I definitely used to and sometimes still do till I make myself aware of this. When I want to something new or start something new now, I don’t wait, I just start immediately, wherever, whenever.
I have realized that every single day that we are blessed to wake up, we have an opportunity to do something different, something new, something extraordinary.
Seeing all that has happened around and with us over the last 30 months, I know that I want to live every single day extraordinarily. And that could be something big or something as small as listening to a new genre of music. I want to change the energy around me and within me.
I want to do, feel, learn, experience something different, something new every day if possible.
What stops me from doing this .. my limitations and my fears obviously. It’s Me. I cannot blame any person or situation for it. If I want to start meditating and I tell myself I can’t because I’m busy travelling,it is not the fault of the travel. I can wake up a few minutes early and meditate if I really want to, right?
After all we have been through, seen and experienced I am ready to put all these limitations behind me. I am not going to wait any longer. This is the time.
Fear is another thing that often stops one from doing what they want. Fear of failure, of not being good enough etc. But the one lovely learning over these years has been that fear cannot be present if you are in a state of Gratitude. When you are grateful, you are living in the present. You are living in the now. Fear has no place in our lives when we are in the now and in a space of gratitude. ( Watch out for my blog on this )
Try starting a Gratitude journal. As you wake up or as you are going for a walk or sipping on your cup of tea focus on all that You have in your life. Thinking is one thing, but writing it down makes it much stronger. When you start your day with gratitude that is the energy you carry with you throughout the day. And that is such a beautiful energy to spend your day in.
So decide what makes you comfortable and start small or big. I start every morning listening to certain kind of music as I have been doing that for the last 10-12 years. To make a small change, I started with making a change to the music I listen to when I wake up. It’s a little shift of energy but a nice one.
A routine is wonderful in certain aspects of our lives, but shaking up energies is wonderful when we want to make changes or start something new.
The most important bit I feel about having a a Gorgeous / extraordinary life is having the faith that we can do what we want to. You feel what you give energy to. If you decide right now that you are upset and give it the energy, trust me you are going to feel more upset. Let’s do a little exercise to change that quickly. Think of 11 things You are blessed with in your life. Start counting now …1, 2, 3, 4, 5…… How are you feeling ? It does change the energy within You too, right?
There are outside influences that effect us - it’s natural. But you have to decide how much are you going to let that influence your life or how much power will you be giving that situation or person. That, is entirely your choice.
I want to create more love and happiness and laughter and good health in all aspects of my life and that is what I am going to give my attention to. I can only feel what I focus on. So we must be aware of how and where we are spending our energy. What are we thinking, watching, reading. No news can make me feel happy so I do not watch the news.
Today and Every Today
