Taking Action

/in , , , , , , /by

actionTake Action! You know, that can mean so many things, taking action.  Just getting up in the morning is taking action.  I mean,  you could actually just stay in bed and not do the things you said you’d do.

And you could just stay stuck in what ever emotional pain you are in and choose a distraction for the moment to keep your mind off the pain.  That actually is taking action, isn’t it?

When you pick a topic about your self then set a day or week that you are going to put a plan in place to do something about it, that is taking action. Then the day comes, and you have some pretty big expectations about yourself as to how you are going to dive into this topic of yours about yourself. You might even think that you are so ready you will be able to carry this out forever.

Then the challenge starts.  You find how much effort it really takes to want to change this situation you are in that is not making you feel very good.  This challenge you started needs some big energy to sustain your intentions, right?

So now you put more plans into place and more action that you need to take to make this really feel like you’re going to get somewhere with this idea.

You could feel like you’re spinning your wheels now because you are gathering input from others, collecting more information about your situation, and it might seem that the more action steps you take, the further you get from feeling like your efforts are moving you into any relief.

Action + effort = acknowledgement

Here are some helpful tools to keep you focused on your outcome:

1) Be patient.  Be observant of yourself.  If you plan one thing for the day, then you will be able to take notice of it. If what you plan to change happens, you have to be present to notice it.

2. Choose to be present so you can resonate with the sign that is delivered.  You set up an action to take, now you best give yourself the space to notice it when it happens, acknowledge it.  It doesn’t have to be monumental, huge, or run you over.  This sign that you have delivered to yourself can be subtle and small, but you have to be present to put it all together.

3. Ask what the learning is.  If you are present with yourself, you can stop and experience the learning and you can be aware of the outcome for your actions that you planned to do differently.

4. Next and most importantly, be grateful.  Now that you have the sign delivered you can be so grateful for the insight and go use it.  Write it down.  Keep a log of signs, messages and aha moments so you can weave them together to show you the big picture.  This is where your learning will most likely reveal to you what and how to continue your desire to change.

Let the Essence of your action become you.   Don’t become the action.

What this New Moon, February 18th means for you…

/in , , , , , /by

New Moon. What does this mean for you,  and really that is all that anything is about.  What does it mean for you, how does this pertain to your day to day living?  What do you do with the information?

Let’s go into this enough so that you can find it applicable, interesting and doable.

This New Moon today around 3:47 PST is really going to energetically push everyone on the planet into more awareness about endings and new beginnings.

Also, entire Karmic patterns that you may not be aware of will be pushed to the surface for you to become very aware of how you are now going to handle old patterns.  Considering all the new energy on the planet having to keep dealing with old emotional, physical, and mental patterns may feel overwhelming.

But this New Moon is bringing everyone the possibility to use that part of your self that doesn’t know what to do with the unknown.  That part of you where you just simply have to use trust to let yourself become more aware of what is and isn’t working in your life.

This new energy is going to help/assist you if you let your self seek out the parts of you that you have ignored or didn’t want to take conscious responsibility for up to this point.

Nothing is going to go away on its own.  You and you alone can stand in your own light now and make a personal commitment to yourself that you are curious to know the hidden parts of yourself that keeps you back.

You may be noticing that two things are happening at the same time.  You may be feeling a “gap.” This gap is more like two worlds are at work now.  Then you might feel which one do you live in or how do you live in one and let go of the other?

This is how you know how far you have developed your Self-Responsibility for healing you and then, in turn, this is  your contribution to all of the collective consciousness that will be affected.  When you do work on your Self you do work for the greater group and the actual planet.

This New Moon is ushering in support for you to go into your own Unconscious part of you whether you like it or not.  You live in duality inside yourself and this is the time to do some conscious work in the parts of you that you don’t like, that means the physical and emotional pain.

Go into these feelings and simply allow your Self to be the conscious voice. Let this loving part of you step up to the podium and guide you when your wounded self becomes more intolerant of your life not being better than it is at this moment.

I’m talking about the everyday events that you can be aware of: relationships, health, money, friends, community, career, thin enough, smart enough, good looking enough, are just a few ways to get in touch with your life.

You alone will be your own witness if you are having problems in any of these areas based on whether you are unhappy in any of these areas and staying in them because of an old belief?  If you are, how do you desire your Self to find another way to do it differently,  and if you can’t change something right at this time, then how can you be more compassionate with your Self while you move through this challenge.

This leap of faith is your own power to birth something you haven’t thought you could do before or have put on hold.  You can go in a new direction in your life, create a new business, bring the artist out that you have been longing to show,  just start  no matter what road you take to do something new and different for your self/ Self.  JUMP!
