Our mind and body is linked.  There is no separation.  What we think and feel resonates throughout our bodies. These biochemical reactions work to make our life and health, better or worse.  It is with this thought that we must guide ourselves to always seek, the positive life enhancing activities, for our body and mind.

Have you ever noticed in your life that when things are bad, that it just seems like more bad things happen. Or you may think of a friend that is always sick, and they just happen to work around horrible people in a horrible environment,…like – prison. That may be an extreme example, but I bet you know where I’m going with this…

Finding peace and happiness comes from within, but our physical, and mental wellbeing sometimes needs us to recognized and then remove ourselves from bad situations. Remembering to only keep good positive people around us. To alway focus our minds on good thoughts, and by shifting those thoughts, when necessary. Then by exercising, eating well, and just generally taking care of ourself, we will have that proper foundation for that well-appointed body and soul.

Feed your soul! Nourish your body and mind! You ARE a total package!  You deserve the best!

“It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” - unknown

Creating wellbeing in your life begins with having peace within yourself. Learning to bend so that you don’t break. Living your life healthily, and fluidly is a start. I always picture Keanu Reeves in the movie The Matrix bending back so far that things just fly over, missing you completely, and enabling you to stand back up and carry on.  That may be extreme, but life’s troubles can feel that way. If you learn to just let things fly by, the quicker you will be able to carry on.  Control yourself, that’s all you really can control. Keep your inner peace, keep moving in your chosen direction, and keep your focus on all that is well.

LIVE your life. Take control. Live better. Be Happier. Do what you need to do to live the life that you want.

You said you always wanted to be a painter, so paint.  You want to write, then write. Play ball, sail, swim. Do what you long to do.  You may or may not make a living from doing them, but it will sustain your soul now.

Keep the Joy in your life, and live your life with passion.

Karma – what fruits will we reap from this years sowing…, giving, receiving, like the natural flow of life, has a cycle.   We must do both, and we must remember to always put love, and joy into our giving. When we give, we are not just giving an object, but giving energy from our thoughts and feelings, and attaching them to the gift.  The positive energy given is really more important than the gift. The energy given is the sowing, and the same energy that you’ll reap.

So put all the love, happiness, and joy, you’ve got into every gift!

Here’s hoping Santa brings me a Fisker Karma for Christmas!!!!!

There are times in my life when this doesn’t come easy, and I have to start doing a little mental aerobics…exercising my mind, to listen within.  Recognizing that events can take you away from positive feelings, it’s important to realize when getting away from a peaceful state, and to learn how to get back to the peace within. 

Mentally I have to tell myself to physically stop, get still, and get centered. I calm myself by breathing deeper and slower, and then make a serious effort to change my thoughts. I do this by looking around for something positive to focus on. Like a laughing child, a flower, or a tree blowing in the breeze. One last deep breath, and I’m back to a state of calm and peace. It can take a moment or a few minutes, but when I do it right, I noticed everything around me, seems to stop and do the same. As if before, everything was on auto pilot and this one action seems to wake everything up, so that we can live with joy, love, and peace within. Life is too short to live any other way.

We love spending days at the beach; swimming, surfing, fishing, or just relaxing while watching the waves. The waves are constantly in motion. They come in and they go back out, they come in and they go back out, it’s a constant ebb and flow in harmony with nature. It’s effortless and therefore relaxing.  The size of the waves however are affected by winds and storms, just as we’re affected by disturbances from time to time. The waves stir up the sand as it meets the shore. As long as the storm is around the ocean remains in this elevated state of turmoil. If, however, you’d jar up that mixture of sand and ocean and took it away from the disturbance, in the stillness, the sand would settle on the bottom and the water on top would be clear.

You can’t control the storms that come your way. Sometimes you need to step away from the crazy, compose yourself, breathe, and gather your own moment of stillness. You have to bring yourself back to a state of love and peace.

It wasn’t until I let go of the out come, that what I had been working so hard to create, came flowing into my life.  The first few times this happened, my letting go of the outcome, was a little like giving up. That was the beginning of my lesson. I’ve since learned, not to give up, but to surrender to the flow of life.  Believing that every experience is part of our process to becoming the people we are meant to be. If a particular route is not working out, I relax, knowing that a better route will come around. When I’ve relaxed and surrendered to the flow, I reach the place I want to go sooner, and in a peaceful way.  I stay focused on what I’m grateful for in my life, and I smile knowing that my experiences are all working for my benefit.

 “All life is energy and we are transmitting it at every moment. We are all beaming little signals like radio frequencies, and the world is responding in kind.” Oprah

Question – What can I do, with my limited resources, that will help the world?

Answer – Wherever you go whatever you’re doing you are responsible for the energy that you bring. Make a conscious effort to be up, positive, and radiating joy; with every encounter, and in every space you inhabit.

Don’t be a Debbie downer. I know, you know, what I’m talking about. You’ve met those people who the minute they walk into a room, they zap every bit of your energy by there negative talk and body language, as if e v e r y t h i n g is a problem.

Take charge of your own energy. Be the person that lights up a room. That leaves people feeling happier, joyful, and more energized, just by being around you. And, if you’re continually radiating joy to all, with every life you affect, you will be continually multiplying good energy; and then so will they, and so on, and so on…

So do your part in helping the world become a better place. Be happy – radiate JOY!
