Awareness

Times of transition are strenuous, but I love them. They are an opportunity to purge, rethink priorities, and be intentional about new habits. We can make our new normal any way we want. ~Kristin Armstrong

When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. You do not need it anymore. Presence is the key. Now is the key. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Summoning gratitude is a sure way to get our life back on track. Opening our eyes to affirm gratitude grows the garden of our inner abundance, just as standing close to a fire eventually warms our heart. —Alexandra Katehakis

Each day learn something new, and just as important, relearn something old. -Robert Breault

Courage results when one’s convictions are bigger than one’s fears. —Orrin Woodward

I want to tell everybody to celebrate every day, to savor the day and be good to yourself, love yourself, and then you can be good to others and be of service to others. —Charlotte Rae

Is it possible to be confident in following your feelings? Who criticizes your emotions more…others or yourself? When did it become taboo to feel your emotions?

As a predominantly introverted person, I adore solitude. I love being alone and allowing my day to unfold or fully engaging in what I intend to do. I don’t have a fear of missing out on activities. I am completely content filling my day with whatever inspires me or tugs at my heart strings. I experience joy in a broad range of activities, too; anything from singing and dancing around my house to journaling to spending time in nature.

There are many different types of support: emotional, moral, spiritual, physical, and mental support. They can be interrelated yet uniquely individual. Support is not about ‘fixing’ a situation or taking on the responsibility for another person. I like to think of it as a boost…imagine interlaced fingers, cupped hands, and someone placing their foot in your hand. The boost of support is like a sprinkle of fairy dust, revealing your own inner magic.

It can be very easy to let the to-do list of tasks guide your day. What if there was a shift in perspective? What if you allowed your mindfulness to guide your day and the to-do list to simply exist? It may seem like a hair-splitting twist of semantics, which it is, but it also offers a fresh way to experience your day.
