How will you honor yourself today?

Balance, that word has been showing up in my life over and over again.  Through my work with Seasons of Change I have been able to dive in and find out exactly what that means to me and in the process find a different perspective for living.  Each of us as we go within and find out what we need to thrive and honor that it allows us to show up in the world as who we are.  It is so easy in todays world to be over stimulated and find ourselves out of balance with ourselves and others.  What are some simple ways to find our way back to peace within?  When we listen to the divine knowing that we hold within we will find that we do indeed know how to love ourselves the real question is will we take the time?  

Day 2: The Great Outdoors What did you experience when you did something different?

I love this exercise! Yesterday I had an appointment with a balance specialist. It was an amazing experience. I learned a great deal about self care and the importance's of loving and honoring self. Yes, I did know this at my core and I really appreciate the new things that I learned in this shift in perspective. During my visit I got the chance to sit, stand, look up, look down, turn from side to side, and be in total darkness. I can't wait to share this information with the next Seasons of Change class.

The greatest gift that I received yesterday was the knowingness that the path that I have found while doing this work with Seasons of Change is indeed a Divine plan. I knew this at my core and yet hearing that truth being spoken to me was indeed very comforting. 28 years ago, I stopped drinking caffeine. If I have tea today, it is caffeine free and it is something that I rarely do. I drink massive amounts of water. It is something that my internal knowingness let me know was best for me. Yesterday I learned that being well hydrated and releasing caffeine really helps the brain to balance with greater ease.

I also learned that our brains, or minds when it feels stressed or out of balance can put it in a fight or flight state of being. It is important to get rest, eat healthy foods, and stay well hydrated. The more the balance specialist told me the more I love this path that I am on. Why? Through doing my daily work in Seasons of Change, I knew that my body was not in balance and that I was carrying around a heavy burden on my body in the form of excess weight. In doing this work, I was able to release the excess weight which has been a gift to my body, mind, and soul. In the process, I had reduced medications or eliminated them which allow my brain to return to balance. Mediation and the walks that I am taking are keys to allow the mind to balance and live in a state of calm. All of these things I have known from going within for the answer to what I needed to do next in my life.

Each of us is governed in a different way. My beloved functions on 5 to 6 hours of sleep each night. In order for me to balance my body and mind I need at least 8 hours of sleep each night. Each of us is responsible for finding the path that is right for us. Each of us is responsible for loving ourselves and honoring who we are. As we find this balance and honor that, love ourselves, and listen for the internal knowingness that is always guiding us we find the present moment to indeed be a gift.

How will you honor yourself today?

I love you,
