Counterpose For a Balanced Life

We bend so that we don’t break.  In yoga we do counterposes to balance out our bodies. If we twist to the right, we twist to the left. If we bend forward, we counter with bending backward.  Most of us live busy lifestyles, we give to our work, our bosses, employees, or customers. At home we give to our families, parents, children, spouses, siblings, and friends. Some of us also try to remain happy and positive, by exuding joyfulness to the strangers we meet along the way. We bend so far one way however, we sometimes forget our most important self.

So remember to do your counterposes, bend the other way by taking care of you! Give to yourself so that you can continue to give to others. Fill yourself up with joy, and gratitude for all that you have. Feed your mind by reading, seeing, and feeling happy thoughts; and in your body by exercising and eating right. Stay completely healthy for yourself first, and for those around you.  It’s the most unselfish thing you can do – taking care of you.

Just a thought,

Love in Your World

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. – Ralph W Emerson

You’re happiness in life is your creation – it’s what you perceive your reality to be.  You have the power to create and perceive the life that you want.  If you want a miserable life, you can have it. Turn on the news, look for mean people, associate with those who are negative, and be negative yourself. The possibilities are endless to find sadness, but why?  Why choose to live in that world, and in that reality.

Choose instead to live in a world where every morning when you wake up, you know it’s going to be a great day!  That somehow, all things, are working in your favor. You live looking for the good in others. It’s out there – you see it. You see the LOVE in people; objects; in jobs well done; in crafts made with care; in flowers; animals, and in the sun, wind and rain! Love is everywhere! YOU are also the LOVE, and you feel it in every bone in your body, and in every breath you take. Happiness and peace is there, the joy follows, and the beauty is easy to see.

Just a thought… 🙂

With LOVE for you on this beautiful day, Goldi

How to Achieve Your Perfect Life

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will.  George Bernard Shaw

To achieve your perfect life, goals should be self set so that the desire to attain the goal, fuels you. However, you must start with your imagination to help you set those goals. It allows you to create the life in which you uniquely want to live.  The image then becomes specific and clear, which gives you a basis to set your goals, sending you in a direction and giving you purpose in life.   The purpose will cause action, and this seed or idea that you’ve planted will bring about what you will.

What does your perfect life look like?
