We all need a little help from our friends to aid us in getting back on track, releasing sadness, getting over a breakup, or loss, refocusing our energies and feeling loved. I hope this list of "
7 Truths to Live By" helps you be the best you can and love bigger and better.
Devotion to self growth and mindfulness is a life long journey, one that offers many blessings along the way. It takes courage to make the commitment. There is no magic formula for inner transformation. Each person's journey is a beautiful roadmap unique to them.
The steps to self love and self expression are simple yet profoundly challenging. I wanted to share some "truths" I have learned along the way. I return to them again and again, forgetting one week and remembering the next. When I stumble I go to this list to remind me of what is important and redirect my mind and heart to what is truly important, the creating and sharing of love.
As I change my thinking, my life will change.
My reality is shaped by how I choose to interpret events in my life. Holding myself responsible for how I feel enables me to live life through love and grace rather than fear and worry.
Worry is a waste of physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual energy.
My physical chemistry transforms when I worry. Cortisol levels rise which can boost blood sugar. Worrying is living in future fear.
I need time for me.
Taking time out for myself heals me. I refuel when visiting friends, spending time doing art, listening to music and enjoying the out-of-doors. Discover what you love to do and do it!
My power comes from love and joy.
When I am connecting with another in the purest form it is through love. Love ignites joy.
Being able to say "I was wrong." is a freeing experience.
Admitting when I am in error stimulates forgiveness and harmony.
Appreciating that most people are doing their best leads me to compassion.
Judging others can be sticky business. When I begin to observe others with an eye for compassion I open my heart.
Gratitude feels good.
When I am grateful I open my heart and mind for more. More love, more flow and more grace. Life feels good.
I leave you with a playful quote by one of my favorite authors... Dr. Suess
"I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind;
some come from ahead, and some come from behind.
But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see;
now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"
Love and light,
Nora
