Tenacity

Are you dreaming big? If so, are you working hard to be the person who can make that dream come true? Giving up is easy. Continuing to move forward even after setbacks is a sign of growth and a tenacious will. Some days you just want to say the heck with it but the next day will be better and your goal will be closer. Meditating everyday takes tenacity becuase somnetimes it just seems to much. However, I find that if I start it always helps in the end. Show your tenacity!

Limit Short Term Decisions

This one came to me this morning. Too often I think we make a quick decision on something that will affect us longer term based on a feeling and not on what will work best. For example, you might buy a car that is not practical based on how much you travel, it's repair history or insurance costs because you feel like you deserve it and it is the kind of car you always wanted. If you can afford to make that kind of choice then great. However, many of us can not do that and should consider other factors than what we want to make a good long term choice.  Quick decisions based on feelings that can be long term concerns will not bring peace to you. There will continue to be other quick decisions that you will have to make because the feelings did not take into account what can happen. Use meditation to clear your mind of quick feelings and help yourself make better decisions.

Feel Your Life

Don't let life take your heart and soul. Instead even in the most difficult of things send love out and it will return to you. Don't be scared to live. What happens if you do something that makes you happy? Most of the time it doesn't hurt anyone and only helps you. Allow yourself to be mended no matter the experience and then continue to show love.

Are You A Hero?

I am concerned about our world and what we will be leaving for generations after us. There is such a selfish feeling around right now.  So many are worried about what is out there for them. Meanwhile, we destroy our environment, wage unnecessary wars and limit the creativity of everyone. It can be overwhelming if you think about how we can change. I would hate to think that it would take a catastrophic change to help us remember that we are all one no matter what we appear to be like on the outside. We have to start somewhere so be a hero, make an intent to improve the lives of those closest to you. Mediate on seeing the need and filling it. Maybe we can make the world better one small step at a time.

How Do We Improve the World

You will hear often that we improve the world by first improving ourselves. And on some level that is true. But how do we do that? Do we become selfish and look out only for ourselves? Do we go the complete opposite way and only focus on helping others? Of course there is a balance. But I encourage you not to focus on either but more than anything become informed. Yes, learn daily. Seek out truth not just what you want to hear. When you understand what is happening around you instead of just accepting what you are told you become informed and can help yourself and others. I do believe that meditation is a great way to help yourself but don't take just what I say, go out and research. See how it has or has not helped others. This means that when you choose something important to you it will be backed with a supported belief. Seek often, learn always.

Starting Meditation

Sure we have talking together on this blog for over a year but it does not hurt to go back to the beginning for some of you and give you methods on how to start meditating. This image does a good job of giving to tips on how to meditate without stressing yourself about it. Open or closed eyes, it does not matter. Time is not important but consistency is. How you sit is not the main thing but that you relax and release tension. Breath is your focus at first but as you go you can focus on more specific areas of need. So start meditating today even if it is just a minute or two.

Opening Doors with Reiki

Meditation is a way to open doors and Reiki assists in increasing that ability.  A practice that includes both can bring your peace and positivity. I am not as dedicated to both as I should be but each day brings the ability to try again. You should look at yourself holistically and combine your spiritual with your physical to create a whole that represents your true self. The spiritual side will not be the only thing you will need but you will also need to work on your daily routines including food, exercise and communication with others. Today when meditating place a focus on improvement holistically.
