What does it matter if I miss a day?

What does it matter if I miss a day? Over the last 270 days, I have transformed my life in ways that have amazing me. Writing Seasons of Change was a gift in my life and it was my intention that it would be to others as well. Each day I get up, read, do the daily activity and my mind, body, and soul open up in new and exciting ways each day. I see more clearly how interconnected we are with nature and how profound living in the present moment fully open, and living as if it were the only moment there is. Living this way has allowed me to transform my life. We all have days that cause us to miss our daily practice, it is when missing becomes the new habit that we notice the effect more dramatic. 

Day 73: Mosquitoes, Today honor the work you have already done by setting an intention of what you wish to shift in your life over the next 90 days.

I am deeply grateful for the work that I have been doing over the last 3 seasons of my life. By following the daily work in Seasons of Change I am at a place of peace in my life. In writing Seasons of Change, it was my intention to show others the creative power in nature and that we have this same power within our own lives. The real gift has been doing the work on a daily basis now for almost 3 season's and how this daily work as allowed me to open up even more and go deeper that I have ever been. I love teachers who live what they teach, and lead by example. That has always been my desire.

I didn't want to talk about changing our mind, body, and soul without doing the work myself. When we make day to day choices and set out intentions to transform our lives it is the day to day things that we find insignificant when performed over time will show up as the transformation. I knew this to be true as I witnessed it within nature. Nature makes transformation appear easy and effortless. The truth is when we focus our energy like nature does it is much easier than we think. It is the daily focus of logging all the food that I ate and making the healthiest choices I could at each moment that when added up over a season allowed me to release 50 pounds of excess weight. I was choosing to take that weight around everyday, and add an enormous burden on my body. Within the second season, I had released another 20 pounds which allowed me to lower medication for my blood sugar, and blood pressure. All of this transformation happened by setting an intention and honoring it, and myself daily for 180 days.

Over the last 21 days, I set an intention to create a new habit to walk 30 minutes a day. I have missed a day or two over the last 21days. I have however walked for 30 minutes 19 days out of the last 21. I am reading more than I have ever read in my life. I am spending more time with quiet contemplation, and self love. All of this from doing the daily exercises in Seasons of Change over and over again. I find that we want this magic pill. This ah ha moment to transform our lives over night. For myself that happened when I set my intention to do this work. When I think about all the things I have tried in my life, the fades, diets, the starving myself so I can fit into a pair of leather pants for a social event. Today I am living from a place of gratitude as I get up each day and log in my daily gratitudes in two different groups. I am focusing my energy on things that I know will bring about the transformation, I want over time. Not to mention in the process I am able to release the hidden beliefs that have been controlling my life.

My intention for the next 90 days is to walk 30 minutes a day at least 6 days a week. Feed my body healthy foods that allow me to maintain a healthy body weight, add in yoga whenever possible. Spend time reading everyday, and spend some quiet time in contemplation and meditation each day. Finding this amazing balance within my mind, body, soul has transformed my life and is allowing me to live from a state of thriving versus survival. Now that is well worth the daily dance with the things I have held as insignificant in the past. Today I understand the magnitude of small things repeated over time. Much like the mosquito I now know that who I am is making a difference.

What is your intention?

I love you
