Following Your Flow

As much as we think we are in control of life, it isn’t the case.  Life is really the one in charge.  

When we attempt to control life, we are being motivated by fear.  “Whoa!” you might say, “What?”  

For example, when we are in traffic, we want everyone to drive like us (follow all traffic rules---but we ALWAYS follow ALL traffic rules, right??? ha ha).  We don’t want any traffic jams and want to reach our destination on our timeline.  But, we all know traffic laws are not always followed.  Drivers are distracted (texting/talking on phone), and some are just bad drivers. We can’t control this, and this makes us vulnerable every time we get into a car.  Someone could hit you and cause major damage to the car and worse, yourself and your kids.  It’s very scary. Yet, do we acknowledge this vulnerability?  Most of us do not.  Instead, we attempt to control our environment.

Balancing Rocks
Living an authentic life means you are aligned with your values.  We all have 5-10 top values, that influence our decisions. I don’t mean religious or political values per se, but more comprehensive:  integrity, beauty, freedom, inspiration, etc.  For a more complete list of values, go here.

I invite you to review this list and pick out your top ten, then your top 5. Take those top 5 and determine how often your decisions and actions are in alignment with them.  If you notice that your decisions and actions  are not in alignment with these top 5-10 values, you aren’t being true to yourself.

Finding your life’s purpose:  A Road to Self-Discovery

Road to Self-Discover
When we are aligned with our life purpose, we fully feel alive. It means living a life of intention and making choices that align with our values.  You hear the same thing when people talk about a mission statement or vision statement - it’s getting to the heart of what your legacy is.

Ask yourself:
  • What will I leave behind?
  • What difference will I make in the lives of those I interact with?

Life purpose is a path.  Along this path you will experience internal and external voices that will tell you to go in different directions.  You are most vulnerable to these voices when you are unsure of your purpose.  Claiming your life purpose gives you a powerful sense of direction.  The truth in your life purpose statement can make you virtually unstoppable.

the benefits of getting out of your comfort zone

7/7/2015

We make many choices every day that keep us in our comfort zone.  There is nothing wrong with our comfort zones....unless we don’t get out of them on a consistent basis or never get out them at all.  A few indicators you might be stuck in your comfort zone are:
  • Boredom
  • Uncreativeness
  • Feeling trapped
  • Low energy levels
  • Inconsistent positive mood
  • Analysis paralysis
  • Feeling weighed down (sometimes shows up as physical body weight)
