Many
of us have tried quick fixes, gaining satisfaction for a limited period
of time, only to find it didn’t last or were left feeling low and back
to square one. The eternal search for something or someone to fix us can
be a never ending experience, leading to low energy and empty promises.
The truth is quick fixes do not work, if they did why would there be so
many of them?
Call
me old fashioned but my preferred choice is to build my own bespoke
lifestyle. Adding all the things I love to do into an uplifting,
everyday experience that matches my needs. Don’t get me wrong, there
have been some tragically hilarious quick fixes on my journey too,
however I am now creating my lifestyle in progress. This concept excites
me because it is unique, includes my work and all the basic root chakra
needs, yet it is fresh and open to new opportunities.
Creating
a unique lifestyle means sometimes you get things wrong, gaining
awareness of the outcome and realising it is not for you. I remember
being asked to leave my first chanting class because I couldn’t stop
laughing. I also remember having a panic attack 15 metres below the sea
in Sydney, doing my Padi with my brother in law. My classic ‘this
lifestyle isn’t for me’ moment was being in a room full of people who
told me what I do for a living was a load of shite. Yes, there have been
some crackers over the years which have all been beneficial for my
growth, leading me to this present moment, and opening me to find
compassion.
My
chosen personal lifestyle approach is a holistic one. This means
looking at myself as a whole person, including my mind, body, soul and
emotions. I choose to honour my mind by quietening it through meditation
and chanting. I do yoga and follow a healthy vegan diet to maintain my
physical health. I embrace my soul by choosing a profession I love and
reflects my natural talents. Listening to and engaging with my emotions,
reflects my life choices back to me. I totally understand my lifestyle
choice is not for everyone however, it works for me, and because of this
I can offer the best part of me to my clients.
Releasing
old soul choices and replacing them with new energy enhancing choices,
is the ultimate soul revival. When there is a realization of this, it
changes any outlook.
Our
life is like a blank canvas, adding as much colour and texture as we
desire. How we choose to decorate that canvas reflects our choices, and
the great thing about choices is they can change. Limitations only exist
if we allow them to.
Being
stuck in a rut of quick fixes is not a pleasant experience. It is an
energy drainer that can lead to low self esteem and negative behaviour.
With this in mind, lets share some enlightenment and celebrate our
choices.
Take
a moment to think of something you have really wanted to do but not
made time for?
It can be anything, we all have something.
Ask yourself why you have not made time for it?
What is the answer?
Are you going to change the answer?
Are you going to do it?
Being
mindful or in the present moment of our own awareness, is essential for
our growth. Asking simple questions and listening truthfully to the
answers empowers us with choice. When there is mindfulness, we recognize
negative or self limiting thoughts and can choose to replace them with
warm positivity. Letting go and trusting in our choices will lead us on
an authentic journey, creating a lifestyle that will ultimately meet our
needs.
‘Recognise the emotion. It will lead to wisdom. Embrace peace. Allow enlightenment’
