You Want A New Life Experience – Increase Awareness!

Let the sunshine into your life – increase your awareness!

To have a life revival of substance you must increase your awareness – inner and outer.

How Writing an Integrity Statement Can Support Your Life Purpose:

If you are a proponent of self-development / personal growth / empowerment, you have heard about defining your life purpose.  At almost 50 I still can’t say I’ve defined a purpose for my life.  Have you? Have you been able to stick with it?

 Perhaps I’m confusing purpose with “something I do” rather then how I live!

Three weeks into power group coaching session and my awareness is heightened about how I cope and how I get distracted with my thoughts and stories; allowing them to take me on an emotional roller coaster ride further away from what it is I intend to experience. If it is true that “living purposefully” means staying focused on what’s important and not being distracted than the sometimes subtle mental and emotional foray I tend to venture into is definitely taking me out of my purpose.

When one chooses to live a life of increased connection, meaning and purpose and move away from living by accident, it is then we can decide how we want our life to feel and react from that place.

I don’t believe we come into the world knowing what we are going to do. I don’t believe we come into this world knowing we are going to make a million dollars, write a book, and compose a symphony.  Instead – I believe we come here to experience a feeling life and in doing so we follow, cultivate and develop our interests, passions and innate abilities; moving from one thing to another but all the while increasing our good feelings in the areas we choose.

One of the projects we have worked on in the Power Group Coaching is our Personal / Public / Professional integrity statements.  I had never done this before.  I know about integrity – I value it when it is authentic and not just something a business does to increase its profit margins.

In finishing this project I can definitely say that I have had my eyes opened, awareness attuned to something new with regards to how I live my life.  Below you will find the beginnings of my Personal, Professional and Public Integrity Statements.  I urge you to give it a go – I will let you know how this all develops but I can already feel my awareness and connection to a greater life purpose emerging from this activity.

Share this with your social community and see if anyone else has done this. Don’t forget that public, professional and personal integrity statement will be reflected in all of your social networking interactions.  Now that would be wonderful – more integrity in social networking communication – I like that.

Personal Integrity:

-Living from my highest state of consciousness

  • Making choices based on the highest good for all involved.
  • Commitment to increasing good feelings and happiness in my life.
  • Make positive life affirming choices.
  • Living and drawing from an inner source – intuition.
  • Connect regularly with source through prayer, meditation – dance.
  • Thrive through healthy eating, joyful exercise and play.
  • Act from my conscience at all times.

 Thoughts = my words = my actions (in other words walk my talk and practice what I preach)

Professional Integrity:

-Respect – honesty – truth is foremost in all interactions.

Love – fairness – reliability as well as substance – enthusiasm and consistency will be found in all communication and product development.

Serve everyone from my highest state of consciousness and support this in others.

Public Integrity: 

-Interdependence of self with those I meet. See myself and others linked as one and my actions in the world are consistent with my professional and personal voice of integrity.

Give back to my community (community where I live and work as well as my global community).

Who someone sees in both my personal and professional life is reflected into the community.

5-Tips To Move Through August with Verve

relax

Hello August 1st!

For some reason I feel like starting August with a renewed sense of self.  The two words that inspire this quick post are:

Stretch & Relax

Stretch yourself and Let Go at the same time.

Wouldn’t it be great to refocus and start the fall season with a new sense of who you are, with clarity and ease? I think so which is why I came up with this simple list of 5 things we can do.

In case you haven’t noticed I’m keeping this post and my other posts simple, my summer has been rather simple so why not let it flow into all of my other venues. This leads me to number 1

1. Stretch Yourself by eliminating the 20 things you are so busy trying to do. Why is this a stretch and not a relax? Because for many of us we are addicted to “doing” things.  If we don’t have things to keep us busy, we may feel frightened and unsure of ourselves (oh my).  We may, for a moment, have nothing to do. Though isn’t this what we crave?  If so – we are in charge.  We can prioritize. Prioritize 2 things that have the most meaning to you, most soul satisfying and put those on the front burner.

2. Stretch Yourself – start to move your body more or exercise in a new way.  Get yourself an accountability buddy.  If you don’t have someone local, recruit one of your Facebook/Twitter friends.  Make small yet just enough stretch goals to experience success. Pop on a video – perhaps this one – and start to dance in your living room.  Recruit your friends to have a potluck/dance/clothing exchange party.

3. Stretch Yourself and Relax - Meditation right? I know some of us have tried this many times before.  What inevitably happens is our mind chatter distracts us and you know what, this can be painful.  If you can stick with it and stretch yourself you will discover an inner peace/relaxation that nothing external can give you.  Though I did read that “sex” has a similar effect. I’ll leave that up to you.  If you find sitting meditation to be too much, take a yoga class (relaxation yoga) or do a walking meditation.

4. Relax – Give yourself the gift of mini retreats, spa days, anything that allows you to feel nourished and rejuvenated.  While you are engaged  most likely you are going to reconnect with your inner self which will enhance your ability to receive that soul centered guidance.  Enjoy – relax – just because!

5. Relax – Allow yourself.  Practice Allowing yourself to relax. Allow yourself to live in abundance, to serve those that are in need. Allow yourself to be.  Allowing ourselves is the ultimate in letting go and freedom.

Initiate even one of these 5 tips during the month of August and odds are high you are going to enter September feeling different about yourself and your life.
