Stuck In Your World

I have a friend who’s world is so small. They seem stuck physically and emotionally. They’re literally hardening in place, and speaking of how much they don’t like it there. With their job, home, and the people around them. And to know surprise, but to them, everything stays the same.  Years go by and their world seems to be caving in on them, getting smaller and smaller, since they can’t see anything else, or anyway out.

It doesn’t matter how many positive words are spoken to them, or options given to them. In their world nothing can change, and we watch them physically and emotionally grow weaker. So hardened, but wanting something, and still being unable to see the steps to make it happen.

Most of us have had some aspect of this, feeling stuck or trapped, we may pause for a moment but eventually move forward. Knowing that everyday can be different, bringing new and wonderful opportunities.

My advice is, if you see aspects of yourself in this scenario right now, go to a Yoga class. Consider it phase one on your new transformation. Yoga is about bringing you to stillness, a place of inner listening, bringing you to a place of peace. You’ll be healthier, happy, and you”ll  know what move to make next.

Make the changes, just go, and one day you will breathe in, and you’ll breathe a little deeper,  sink a little farther in your stretch, and balance a little longer in the pose. And, the same will begin to happen with your whole life. Changing one thing, changes the whole. Nothing happens overnight, just lots of little steps. Make the effort – just go to a class, even if you don’t really try when your there. But, by being there and moving just ever so slightly, you’ve made progress, and have opened up your world. The key is just to keep going. Eventually you will get to the place you want to be. Whatever that may be, but just keep going, keep moving forward. Make the change, and everything will begin to become clearer. You won’t be hardened any more… Just loose, loose and open to the changes that are coming.

Box of Love

There’s a lot of Love in that box. It’s filled with cookies, and cards, hot chocolate, a movie,personal notes, bath salts for mom, itunes cards for the children, and special nuts for the man of the house. The box is overflowing, not just with gifts, but with love. You can feel the love pouring out of it. You can feel the presence of the sender. It’s not the gifts, it the whole.
That’s the intention we should put into everything we do – Love. You can feel, see, and hear the difference between a blank hug, gift, or word, and those filled with Love. You feel it in places too; in your home, business, and even in your being. Be mindful of what energy you carry, and bring with you, wherever you go. Bring love, happiness, and joy. Do everything with love.

Love Your Life

During the holiday season you’re either very busy running around with extra parties to attend, presents to buy, and other various additional tasks; or you’re wishing you were socially busier. Holidays seem to amplify how we feel, and deal, with our daily life.  We tend to expect or desire certain outcomes, before we feel we can fully love our life. We forget to just love our life as it is. So, take a moment to Love Your Life, right now, just as it is. Close your eyes with your hands pressing, joining together at your heart center – Anjali mudra – Prayer position, and sit in stillness, for a moment of gratitude and reflection. Honoring yourself. Honoring others. Appreciating all that you have. Letting go of expectations, on any level, on any thing, and focusing your thoughts to that of just pure appreciation. 

Do this everyday, and trust me, your world will change.

Love, Goldi
