Hey
Quester’s – hope you are all well! I’ve been burning the candle at both ends
and managed to catch pneumonia (I was shocked myself – obviously not listening
to my own advice). Between the study, looking after my wonderful children,
daily tasks, a dash of writing, and not enough exercise and not quite enough
home cooked meals my health deteriorated. I’m back on track now, even bought a kick
boxing and yoga DVD to straighten out my study back! Hope those of you who live
in Australia are looking after yourselves now that winter in here. Don’t forget
those lovely homemade soups and stews that are easy to make and be sure to go
out walking and get some of that crisp winter air in the lungs.
Have you
ever noticed how you react to barriers in your life? You are making progress in
your endeavours and then there is an unexpected barrier in your way –
inhibiting your movement. Noticing how you react at these times is crucial to
your ongoing development. There is first an immediate reaction and then a
problem solving phase. Your immediate reaction might be anger, disillusionment,
but soon after your mind might think of ways around the problem, or you might
have thoughts of giving up? It is
interesting to keep a mental note of these reactions in case there are too many
negatives floating around in there!
Noticing
your reactions to sudden barriers will help you understand yourself a little
better and allow you to heal or remove any negative programing that doesn’t
really belong to you (possibly picked up from someone while growing up). Elevating
your underlying strength and confidence will help you rise to any future
challenges. On the extreme there are also people who are so bogged down with
rules that they barely realise that they are holding themselves captive.
Liberating the mind is essential here, but it can be done by dissolving the
edges and weakening fixed ideas that inhibit future prospects. Try saying yes
instead of no occasionally; maybe even spend one week being easy going! Make
your decisions slowly, instead of instantly stating your answer.
Personal
strength is the best foundation for your life to rest upon and keeping an eye
on that underlying mind chatter is vital. Those of you who have long been
delving into their psyche will have cleared most of the debris, and know how to
counter those sneaky little negative self-judgements. Remember that you are
strength personified, your soul is pure and your mind is delightfully intelligent.
Don’t give up – find a way through! You are free to explore the deep beauty of
a life and eliminate disruptive barriers.
