January has been a wild month for me.
That may or may not be an understatement. It is almost as if the beginning of the month started with everything in my life being tossed into the air and I am just now having things slowly fall into place where they belong. There was a bit of crying and some anxiety during many of those days.
The first couple of weeks during the month I felt extremely overwhelmed. So much so I didn’t even know what to do or where to start. Now that things are falling into place I have been able to really focus on the things that are most important and release those things that no longer serve me. It has been refreshing. Kind of like a detox from the yucky stuff.
I have been working on a lot of different projects, however, I have also learned to only take on the ones that really speak to me. Sometimes you have to really ask yourself some serious questions about where you are headed and if what you are doing is going to get you there or not. I feel good about the decisions I have made and there is a sense of relief that I experience from pushing through and doing some of the things I almost let fear keep me from doing.
To help me “deal” with all the craziness I have been meditating a lot (not as often as I would like, but more often than I did last year) and it has made a world of difference. It just makes me feel energized, focused and “ready” for whatever comes next. I love to meditate early in the morning when it is cool and I can hear the waves or birds in the distance. So peaceful. I also meditate mid-day when I need to either calm myself or prepare myself for something. These tend to be quick (maybe 5-10 minutes) and can really be done anywhere – in your office chair, in your parked car during a break. Love it.
Another thing I have been doing is using affirmations and reading + listening to some of my favorite teachers. The people that inspire me. People like Oprah, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Abraham Hicks (Esther Hicks), Louise L. Hay and so on. It has been wonderful. They always help me to get my mind and soul in a wonderful feeling place.
I am going into February prepared for life to just happen. I also know that my thoughts and beliefs can steer me in the direction of my desires if I allow it. I am looking forward to what this new month has to offer me and I hope that you are as well. I have been in a very “glowing” place as I like to call it. I feel so much love and joy deep within me.
