These are the things I do when I have gone through a major change in my life. They always get me through.
- Must have a daily spiritual practice – journal, conscious breathing, meditation, prayer, or reading something inspirational…It’s a practice that you engage in consistently and every single I find that it takes my focus off the external world and puts it on the internal world so that i can begin my personal evolution
- Learn radical self care and self nurturing. Imagine that you have 24 hours a day for however many years . How much of that time do you give just for you? This is where you just sit and are present with yourself. Also be really clear about what it is you want. Talk to yourself about it or talk to somebody you care about it. Hear your own voice. Hear you own voice and honor your own feelings. Just be good to you.
- Forgive everyone for everything. How long will you walk around being pissed off and angry and disgruntled because some idiot upset you back in 1999. Cummon! When are you going to get over it? As you sit around and remember the hurt and rejections, you are giving those people that you are thinking about, your energy. Take your energy back. Forgive
- Be grateful! Be grateful for every little thing. Be grateful for the love you do have. Be grateful that even in the midst of your worst hour and in the midst of all of you craziness, dysfunction and horrification, that you had enough sense and stamina to be good to somebody else.
- Have a vision – There is a saying by Fredrick Douglas – “Without vision, the people perish.” Vision in this sense doesn’t mean an outer gazing, but rather an inner knowing. Where you allow your dreams and hopes and imaging’s to play out in your mind. You must have a vision for yo8ur life so that you don’t get sidetracked by things and people that are not going in the direction you are going. Write it out and then imagine it. Feel it. Allow the vision to grow. When you have a vision, it means that you are pregnant with possibility. I guess this is the one time that men can get pregnant too!
