Fantasy Verses Reality

May 20 2013 Published by under Dream, interpretation, Present moment, Solutions

Whenever you’re caught up in an interpersonal drama, you’re most likely drawing on a story about the past, or fearing something in the future. Since you can only be in your power when your attention is focused in the here and now, the story makes you less effective. Making your point with great eloquence won’t get you back to reality. Neither will escalating the volume or pitch. There’s only one action that will empower and transport you from the discomfort of conflicting interpretations of reality back to peace of mind…

Getting present.

Ubiquitous Joy

May 03 2013 Published by under Appreciation, Joy, Present moment

Symptom seven of Conscious Awakening:  The ability to enjoy something about every moment.

Time is made up of nothing more than a very long string of separate moments. Your attitude about life is essentially created by the average emotional and psychological set point that you embody in each of those instants. Transforming your experience of life is all about learning how to direct your energy and create your mood in those little periods. When you develop a habit of looking for what’s going right and appreciating it, you’ll be able to…

Find the joy in every moment.

Overcome With Love

Symptom four of Conscious Awakening: Frequent overwhelming episodes of love and appreciation.

No matter where you are, who you are, which circumstances you’re in or what time it is, you can always find something exquisitely beautiful in your immediate surroundings. If you were present enough to see it, you’d be filled with profound love and appreciation. When you let go of the past and stop fearing the future, you permit the beauty of the present moment to enter your field of awareness. Those are the moments when you’re totally inspired by…

The Power of NOW.

The Seasons of Life

Feb 20 2013 Published by under Awareness, Conscious, Present moment

The yearly progression of the seasons is an excellent metaphor for life. As a baby, you gestate (winter), are born and grow during youth, adolescence and young adulthood (spring). You are active and productive during adulthood, career and family rearing (summer). During retirement and old age, you begin to fade (fall).  Finally you are gone (winter). Most problems observe the same cycle: actions result in fertilization of issues (winter), problems appear in your life (spring), you wrangle with them (summer), they begin to fade away (fall). They eventually disappear (winter). Lesson? Be present…

Nothing lasts forever.
