When You listen- Little Inspirations

When you listen

You will hear the sound of your own life, calling to you asking you for just what it needs and desires

Listen

You will hear the sound of your stories repeating

Listen

You may hear what is really being said (from yourself or from another)

Listen

To the sounds of your environment

Listen

You may hear the cry for your own support

Listen

To what is draining you so you can know what to let go of

Listen

To what lights you up, so you can know what to embrace

Listen

Hear that? It’s the sound of your precious life, your precious Soul calling you, guiding you, supporting you.

Pockets of Space- Litte Inspirations

 

 

Hey Inspiring Souls!

 

As I may have mentioned once or a thousand times I am always looking for inspiration. This inspiration comes in all sorts of ways books, podcasts, blogs, tasks, hobbies, magazines etc.

 

However as with anything even good things we love sometimes we find that instead of inspiration or opportunity mode we have gone into obligation mode. The thing that inspired me to start thinking about this the last few days actually was some library books and few other things that I started to feel obligated to finish, when really I needed to create the space in my schedule and mind for things that I really wanted to read or listen to. But this spaciousness can come in other areas.

 

Create Pockets of space by:

 

Letting go

 

Not finishing that book

 

Scheduling in free time

 

 

Taking that 5 minutes to follow your inspiration

 

Unsubscribing from that blog, newsletter, facebook page

 

Prepping dinner early

 

Closing your eyes, taking a real deep soulful breath, even if just for a minute.

 

10 minute clutter blitz ( setting a timer and just grabbing all the obvious clutter or stuff to put away etc that you can ) this creates physical space and a clearer physical space can often = a clearer mental space.

Keep Showing up- Little Inspirations

Hey Beautiful Souls!

It’s all to easy on this path of creating a life we love to just want to quit, to not show up to put it off etc..

When you realize your not great at “it” but love “it”

When you feel like you’re talking to yourself out there in the WWW

When you have a dream, goal or idea that seems just too big for you to ever accomplish it

This list could go on and on and often does in my head!

But in order to create the life we desire, even in the tiny tiny steps (and I do mean tiny at times) we need to Keep Showing up.. Don’t get me wrong, I do fully believe that we need to let go of some things in order to create room for what we desire. However I also fully belive and try to practice daily is to..

Keep Showing up:

-For yourself

-For your Dreams

-On your mat (or any other movement that fills you)

-In your relationships

-On your blog, as you fully you

-In your journals

Just keep showing up for those things that:

-Grow you

-Move you

-Fill you

Just keep showing up

Taking Care- Little Inspirations

 

 

Hey Inspiring Souls!

 

 

I have heard a phrase around lately that really gets my attention and gets me thinking.

 

Allowing your present self to take care of your future self

 

I think that there are many times we just don’t think about it or don’t know where to start. Or we assume something will magically make that happen in the future.

 

When we can start thinking about how we can presently take care of ourselves in a mindful way I do believe that carries over into our future selves.

 

Some ways I am (all be it sometimes really really slowly) working towards taking care of both my present and future self are:

 

-Starting a retirement account (within the next few months)

 

-Yoga and Cardio– Movement of some kind on a regular basis

 

-Creating and living within a budget (aka my means!)

 

-Eating healthy (or healthier) food  more and more

 

-Healing relationships (with others & ourselves)

 

-Setting up boundaries

 

 

-Instilling nourishing practices

 

While I am not one to suggest that you should dwell on the past I suggest that you think of now what you wish you had done in the past to take care of your current self. This could be a great starting point to get your list going!

Some thoughts- Little Inspirations

Hey Beautiful Souls!

This weeks Little Inspirations is in the form of a recording of some thoughts I had after doing  a good bit of visioning this last weekend. We are so often unwilling to be uncomfortable and anytime we go out of what is our normal it can be uncomfortable even if we want it.

I would love to know your thoughts on this after you listen..

Where we are vs where we desire to be

Spaciousness- Little Inspirations

Hey Beautiful Souls!

Lately spaciousness and the word space and the urge to create more of it in my life mentally and for sure physically have been coming up, more and more and more. So I have started to listen..

Creating Spaciousness

Feeds your Mind, Body and Soul

Won’t let up if it’s calling you

Can open you to things, moments and realizations that surprise you

Allow room for more of you and the things that really matter and those things that you really love.

Can be done in small spaces (of time and actual physical space)

Spaciousness can give you the feeling of abundance

Where in your life do you need to create some space?

Be Gentle- Little Inspiratons

Hey Inspiring Souls… Some reminders I know some others need as well..

Be Gentle… There is a time for giving yourself a kick in the butt and pushing yourself but even in those times it can be done with gentleness and compassion. I can easily get into the place of over thinking, fear and beating myself up for what i have not done, where I have let fear take the lead I can get so mad at myself. When I get too deep into this space with no gentleness I just feel worse, it doesn’t move me forward it makes me stop and be even more upset.. So when I can do these things with a gentle spirit towards myself or others I am finding I get unstuck a bit faster.. It’s a process but a worthy one..

Be gentle with your

-Self Talk (how you speak of and to yourself, it’s amazingly powerful and so often so harsh)

-Wounds

-Body

-Path

-Loved ones

-”Failings”

-Your tender dreams and desires

Where do you need to give yourself some gentleness?

It’s Ok to… Little Inspirations

Hey Wonderful Souls,

Some little reminders for me and for you!

It’s Ok to:

Ask for what you need, most of all from yourself

Carve out some space just for you, to create a space you love

Let that stuff go (it makes space for other blessings)

Shine

To Dream BIGGER or “smaller”

To listen to your Soul, really listen

Share your gifts

Allow the layers of your dreams, authenticity and life to be revealed upon layer

Little Inspirations-See

Hey Amazing Souls

It’s so easy to become sort of unconscious of whats around us, whats inside of us to focus in on whats not working and what is not done.

I just want to remind you of something I was reminded of this last weekend. To see it’s not that what is inside of you or around you has changed in big ways (though there may be times that is true) however it’s about changing the way we think of  these things that makes us see the beauty that is all around and within.

-See what you have done that has helped another (a smile, holding the door, a compassionate ear) You do make a difference

-See the beauty in your eyes, your hands, your soul

-See the colors, shapes and lines in everyday things look at them from different angles

-See with eyes of love, when you look at yourself, others, the world around and within you

-See your gifts, when you see them and then embrace them you can share with the world your blessings

-See what lights you up, what makes you come alive and feel and be more passionate in your life. Get more of it!

Here is to Seeing with all your self and living Inspired, Creative and Empowered
