The 3 areas of life most of you feel challenged in are: health, love and money.
Many of you have been conditioned to learn that these challenges either go your way or they don't go your way. You are lucky or unlucky in wellness, in your relationships and/or your finances. That life has to be a struggle; that life happens to you.
What results when you shift your beliefs, thoughts and feelings to notice that life happens through you? That instead of challenges happening to you, you can create and respond to what happens in your life. When you become aware of your own feelings and thoughts, you can consciously choose how and when you respond.
The first step is to find your belief in yourself and feel it.
Close your eyes, breathe deeply and comfortably and become calm.
Center yourself in quiet so you can begin to hear your inner wisdom.
Don't judge yourself, you can not do it wrong.
Do not rush.
Listen deeply to your heartbeat to begin the process of connecting with your internal whispers and strengths.
You have all your answers within, it is time for you to use your inner world to create your outer world.
Are you lucky in love?
What does your love life look like in the future?
Will you have a partner that truly loves you?
Will you be cheated on?
Will you get married?
Will you have kids?
Will you be alone?
It's human nature to want to know what will happen in the future. People speculate in every area of life and especially in their love life. If you knew the answer to the above questions, what would change in your life right now? What would you do differently moving forward?
You are loving, loved and lovable right now as you are this minute. You are love expressing as yourself. Close your eyes and imagine the center of your heart. Become quiet and listen to your internal wisdom. Can you feel unconditional love that is always with you? Can you tap into it as a source of your strength?
Forget speculating about the future, all your strength is in the present, unconditional love is your super power. How will you share yours?
What holiday is just around the corner and triggers many people positively or negatively?
You guessed it: valentine's day
Is it just another day? A day to get through as quickly as possible for you? A day to reach out to the people you love? Where are you in the valentine's day spectrum?
love, celebration, joy, closeness, bonding, expression, warmth v.
pressure, consumerism, materialistic, meaningless, contrived, painful
Have you had positive or negative experiences in the past with valentine's day? What are your feelings about it now?
What does vulnerability mean to you?
How vulnerable to you allow yourself to be?
Do you consider vulnerability painful or joyful?
Do you feel vulnerability is a flaw or an asset?
Do you calibrate your vulnerability in different situations and with different people?
**Now replace the word "vulnerability" and "vulnerable" with availability and available.
Shift your mindset to expansion to open to more of what you want.
If you try to feel fulfilled from the outside with people and/or things and activities do you ever feel full? If you try to fill with love from the outside to your inside, are you fulfilled?
Your source of love is inside and it connects to love everywhere. Love is the energy of life. It is an internal limitless supply that empowers you. Your love leads to more love.
Close your eyes and calmly go within to connect with your heart:
Are you keeping your heart open or closed?
Do you listen to the language of the heart?
Do you honor the language of your heart?
What does it tell you?
When does it tell you?
Do you trust what your heart tells you?
Do you honor what your heart tells you?
Do you act on what your heart tells you?
Wedding rings, wedding rings that imprint your finger and wedding ring tattoos.
How do you feel about wedding rings?
Do you feel they celebrate love?
Do you feel they joyfully proclaim your love for the world to see?
Do they have something to do with your self worth?
Do you feel they are worn from insecurity?
Do you feel they mark your territory?
Do you feel they indicate ownership?
