I had the most wonderful fun filled Thanksgiving and holiday weekend. A great time spent with friends, sharing great food and celebrating all the goodness that we have in our lives.  Showered with abundance in both the emotional and material sense.

It really got me thinking how this is it.  These are the moments we look back on and remember. And how quickly these moments can pass us by as we are often quickly onto the next.  In our fast paced world we have so many options and so much to see and do.  All in a day at times.  That life can seem like a big to do list.  A great enjoyable to do list but many times pushing us to be in the future.  Never fully embracing what is right this second.

My challenge and I offer the same to you is “How in the moment can we be?”  “How can we practice truly being present and right where we are?”  Not in this evenings dinner plans or yesterdays business meeting but fully immerse ourselves in the experience that is now.  And if you are like me this can be challenging at times because I have spent most of my life completely out of the now, in my thinking, planning and doing anything else I could do sometimes to avoid feelings.

The great thing is that the reward for being in the now is both real and better than anything I could even hope to find through my perpetual doing.  For me being in the moment is where peace of mind, solutions and faith reside.

We really do have it all if we can stop, pause and absorb all the wonder that can only truly be found right now.

Enjoy

It seems to be my ongoing experience that the less I worry and the more I stay in enjoying the present moment, the more my life keeps delivering wonderful opportunities to me.

In the last week as I vacationed in Lake Arrowhead, Newport Beach and San Diego I received two more clients and booked my first over 30 people company retreat to facilitate.  I was spending time with family and friends and letting go of my worry and fear about my business and consciously focused on being in the moment and enjoying all the wonderful abundance that is in my life.  And in doing so my business continued to grow.

My old way of thinking was that in order to expand I had to figure it all out, try really really hard to make something happen and feel a lot of anxiety in the process.

What I am learning is that the letting go of things after taking whatever action I can really is the key for me.

As much as my old thinking wants to say no you have to try harder, you are not giving enough, who do you think you are???  The evidence of my life is the contrary.  And it is a challenge to stay in the I am and have enough place but the peace of mind that comes with it is priceless.

So I invite you to spend time taking care of yourself and enjoying your life this week.  Let go of the how, who, what, why and when.  And you might just allow some miracles to cross your path.

There is much that I want to see, do and achieve in this world.  And there is much that I have seen, done and already achieved in this world.  My challenge is to not get stuck in the vortex of perpetual wanting as it is can be another creative way that I get to stay out of the present.

Wanting is a great thing as it shows me a direction to head and a path to take action towards.  However what I am discovering is if I am constantly in the wanting and not in the gratitude of what I already have.  Then the energy that I am putting out into the world is in direct conflict with what I would like to achieve.

Wanting energy has a negative vibe to it.  We all know what that feels like.  Have you ever been in a social situation and felt uneasy and a negative vibe around someone as you feel like they want something from you or just from life in general?  In contrast when you are around someone who is content and in gratitude a positive energy is what you feel.  And these people actually draw you and the world in more.

In essence what I am saying is if you really really want something in your life.  Find and connect with the feeling of abundance you have in your life right now.  As it is that feeling of abundance that is going to draw it to you much more quickly than the negative energy of wanting that actually could be pushing it away from you.

What are you grateful for today?  How are you needs totally met today?  How have things always worked out some way for you?  How has your life previously magically unfolded?  What dreams and desires of yours have been fulfilled?

Connect with what you already have today and you will not only feel a great peace of mind and joy but the irony is it will bring even more abundance to you.

For myself I also like to add in when working with the law of attraction the caveat, if only in the best interest for all those who are involved.

Easier said that done I know.  But that’s why we get so many opportunities to practice

I have been listening to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah’s A New Earth podcast for the second time.  It always amazes me how much more I hear when I listen to things again.  For me I can’t force my understanding of these concepts but in hearing this information repeatedly it gradually starts to seep in and connect with my inner knowing.

What I think I am really getting a grasp around is the whole being in the moment, coming from a clear state (not negative) and that when we are truly present that is when we are most empowered.

For me I had functioned in the exact opposite way always looking ahead, never being satisfied with what I was doing in the moment and constantly dreaming about the when that lived in the future.  So I was very rarely in touch with my most empowered self as I was very rarely truly in the moment.

The great freedom that has come for me is now truly starting to understand, incorporate and fully believe that if I accept where I am right now, am present and do what is in front of me today the future will take care of itself.  This is not to say that I don’t have plans and goals but they are broken down into what action is in front of me to do right now.  The freedom that comes with no longer having to figure everything out coupled with letting go of having to know the HOW of it all and be in control is such a weight off my shoulders.  I can relax, breathe and be.

The greatest gift which was so foreign to me is that then life truly does become about enjoying the journey.  The adventure and the miracles that happen each and every day.  And for me learning to be in the moment and in action whilst not knowing the outcome is becoming more and more fun.  And also for me it is consciously practicing it.

So I invite you to step out of worry and fear today and step into the present moment and your power.  Enjoy your process and the wonderful adventure that is your life.  You will be amazed!

Enjoy

In this exciting and challenging time in our world today it is very easy to buy into the negative story of all that is happening in our economy and in peoples lives.  Terrible things to talk about and focus on.  And the news is a great resource to confirm every fear we have.

I was thinking about this yesterday and wondered if I was trying to be to much of an upbeat and positive person when all the “facts” are clearly showing that this is not a good time and no amount of positive thinking is going to change it.  For me however  the next step in this line of thinking is anxiety and fear leading to slowly slipping down a slope into a black hole of paralyzing inaction.

The balance for me is accepting what is going on in the world without perpetuating the negativity that can come with that.  And with being a work in progress myself this can be challenging.

But I was lucky enough to catch myself before going down that steep descent and what entered my mind was the thought “What if we are not falling apart but are actually falling together?”  If I look back on my life I can see how everything needed to happen as it did to get to me where I needed to go.  Everything has happened to help me evolve on this spiritual path I am on.  And most often it has been the things that were uncomfortable or not getting what I wanted that helped me the most.  All in retrospect of course!

In looking at todays climate when it comes to opportunities to grow spiritually it seems the negative events  get our attention the most.  We get to connect and talk with strangers as we all feel in the same boat with the awfulness of the economy.  Would people connect so easily with a stranger who said “Oh aren’t we fortunate that the sun rises and sets for us each and every day.”  People would step aside and ignore this “weird” person.

I guess what I am saying and reminding myself of is that we have quality problems today.  That everything has a benefit and I can focus on what is not right and the negative or I can focus on what is right and the positive side of any situation.

What greater challenge than in this time to be more giving, to be kinder, to have more faith and to believe even more that each and everyone of us is completely taken care of right in this moment.

And no matter what something may look like on this plain it is for our greatest good on our spiritual path.

When I am focused on gratitude and what is positive I feel so much better and I know I am contributing in some small way to a solution by putting that kind of energy out there.  Imperfectly of course.
