Recently a caller asked the following question during our weekly radio show and it is a helpful reminder give unto the self.
How can I improve my daily habits so that I do the activities that are the most helpful for my growth?
Excellent question, for many have good thoughts and desires of what to do in the sense of all things in their life but tend to undermine the self, having a desire to do this or that but then procrastinating giving unto the self. That is a very human experience, this procrastination. So what we would speak to is that you start with just a few minutes. Such as a meditation, many say I want to meditate, I know it is good for me, I don’t have time. But when you do the meditation you’ll find as if you have more time in your day because you are more focused. So begin with small amounts begin with 5 minutes but do it daily. Schedule important appointments with yourself. Let us say that you’re setting this appointment with self in the morning time to do the meditation. Do not let others distract you. Say, ‘I have this important appointment,’ as if you’re meeting the most important person in the world, that you deem the most important. You would not miss that appointment. So begin to think in this way. And the proper nutrition, think not of it as deprivation but what you’re giving to the body to create a healthful state of being energetically. And as you go along and find resistance speak to the inner part of your being, the fragmented aspect of yourself, that is blocking your success in this out of a belief of not being worthy or acceptable or loveable. When you bring these orphans home you tend to care for the physical for you know the joy of completeness and you’ll want to continue on with it. So you’ll create experiences to follow through, the baby steps count. And then you go about running about.
I seem to run forward in a fast movement and then I pull back and get resistance.
It is because you’re trying to do too much at once. You do it all at once and you’re exhausted from it. So you do small amounts building up to a habitual regime and then it will be effortless and it will not exhaust you as it has. When you’re on a path of personal growth you will have certain down times which your body is catching up to because it is energetic frequencies that you’re aligning to and your body has to adjust. Give yourself permission for these respites.
Be childlike and playful during these times. You will meet your goals but it is important to enjoy it along the way for it to remain a consistency. Look for the magic, look for the confirmation. If you’re taking a walk, invite confirmation in your external world of a manifestation to occur in front of your eyes. Have that wanderlust that a child has in each thing the enthusiasm that is seen and you will have a fresh eye, fresh vision.
Make those appointments with yourself and enjoy the snow angels.
Happy Holidays!

truth, sharing your life experience and learning with others. There have been times I’ve been fearful to tell someone how I felt or what I thought. Fearful the information would hurt their feelings or challenge my relationship with them. In those moments Sheila and THEO have both said, “The truth may not always be liked but it will always be accepted.” In telling my truth I’ve gained love and respect from myself and others.
