Forget about ‘feeling bad’ – Lose the Guilt and Get Your Glow On! ☺

Are you doing things because you want to, or because you “feel bad”?☺

We’ve all got certain obligations and duties in our lives that we need to attend to.
But we put ourselves under added pressure and stress by agreeing to do a lot of other things that we don’t have to do  -  because we feel guilty if we don’t.

One of the most liberating things I did for myself was to give up doing things out of guilt.
And oh – the relief!! ☺

I used to agree to doing things that I knew, immediately, that I didn’t ‘want’ to do!

And then I’d go through a long, stressful process of hoping arrangements would be cancelled, or wondering how I could get out of them - getting more stressed, the closer the time came, beating myself up because I felt I ‘should’ and often bailing out with some lame excuse, at the last minute.... 
Know the feeling? ☺ ☺

When we agree to things that we want to do, we’re acting in integrity – we feel good, comfortable with our decision and empowered, because we’re respecting ourselves and coming from a place of Love. 

Acting out of guilt doesn’t benefit you or the people around you.

Would You like to know that someone was doing something for you, or with you because they felt guilty? ☺

If you’re doing something out of guilt and not out of love, it’s not going to be a JOYful experience for anyone.

Whatever you do – if you’re going to do it, then put your heart into it and do it with Love. 
Embrace the experience, find the blessing and find the JOY ☺

Don’t do it because you “feel bad”. Do it because You FEEL GOOD and you’ll tune into the Good Stuff and Get Your Glow On! ☺

With Love,

Stop Fighting, Start Loving :) and Create Your Most Joyful Life :)

If you’re feeling weary and worn-out from battling and struggling your way through Life, then it’s time to stop fighting, and embrace your Joy :)

Most of us have been taught to ‘fight for what you want’, ‘fight back’, ‘fight the good fight’, ‘keep fighting’ , ‘soldier on’ and ‘beat the competition’.

But Life is not supposed to be about fighting one exhausting battle after another :)

“You need not wrestle for your good. Your good flows to you most easily when you are relaxed, open, and trusting.” ~ Alan Cohen

At one point in my life I remember getting out of bed each weekday morning, and mentally pulling on my suit of armour, before clunk, clunk, clunking my way into my office, ready to ‘do battle’ with the day ahead.
Thankfully I realised that it wasn’t any fun and decided to enjoy my life instead :)

If you believe that Life is a struggle and that you have to ‘fight’ something, then you’re coming from a place of fear.
Fighting drains your energy and is stressful and counter-productive.

“You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God. ~ Wallace D. Wattles

It’s impossible to perceive clarity and connect to your inspiration and enthusiasm when you are stressed, anxious and fearful, as you disconnect from your Authentic Self.
 
When you choose to live in integrity and embrace your Joy, you’re coming from a loving place in your heart, and your life will reflect that harmony. You feel empowered, inspired and energised.

“You cannot struggle to joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come.” ~ Abraham-Hicks

Life is not a battlefield :) You can choose to embrace Joy whatever your situation, and focus on the Good Stuff.

“Our civilization has not done a good job with the energies of delight and joy. Yet these emotions are the very essence of life and what directs your inner guidance to bring abundance to your life.”
~ Dr. Christiane Northrup

Focus your thoughts on what makes you feel good, do what makes you happy, have more fun, lighten up, love YourSelf more, and choose to enJOY Life.

“The more joyful you are, the more well-being flows to you.” ~ Abraham-Hicks

• You can choose to embrace Wellness, instead of ‘fighting’ illness.

• You don’t have to ‘beat’ the competition and ‘fight your way to the top’.

• You don’t have to argue and fight to prove that you’re better, or that others are wrong.

• You don’t have to fight to defend yourself every time others don’t agree with you.

• You don’t have to take offence at other people’s behaviour.

Just show up as your Most Wonderful You :)

 “Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.”
 ~ Dr Wayne Dyer

Life is so much easier and more fun :) when you allow yourself to connect to your Joy and create the outcomes you want, instead of fighting for results.

"I create easily and effortlessly when I let my thoughts come from the loving space of my own heart." ~ Louise L. Hay

Take off your armour, put down your weapons, love YourSelf more, Be your Most Wonderful You, and Create your Most Joyful Life :)

With love,

Stay True to You and Follow Your Own Path

It's amazing to think that there are billions of people on the planet, and yet each of us is unique.
There is no-one else in this world, who is exactly the same as you or me :)

Each one of us has our own mind, our own looks, our own talents and our own unique path to travel through life.

"You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else”. ~ Leo Buscaglia

Let's celebrate our uniqueness :)
Love and accept everything about yourself and respect the wonderful being that is uniquely You.

"I accept my uniqueness. There is no competition and no comparison, for we are all different and meant to be that way. I am special and wonderful. I love myself."
~ Louise L. Hay

When you compare yourself to others, or desire to live someone else’s life, you’re disrespecting yourself.
Why would you want to be like somebody else, when you are your unique Wonderful You? :)

“Envy is ignorance. Imitation is suicide.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t concern yourself with ‘trying to fit in’, if it doesn’t feel comfortable to you.
When you remain true to who you are, you’ll attract people and circumstances that are 'the right fit’ for the Real You.

"There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give." ~ Leo Buscaglia

Choose your direction in life that fits best with your vision of what you want, and follow your dreams and desires.

“Every choice before you represents the universe inviting you to remember who you are and what you want.” ~ Alan Cohen

If you live your life according to what other people want, or think is best for you, you'll compromise your own happiness.
Happiness comes from living your authentic life and being true to yourself.

"One cannot choose wisely for a life unless he dares to listen to himself, his own self, at each moment of his life."
~ Abraham Maslow

You know in your heart, and you can feel in your body when something is right for you.
When you feel enthusiastic, joyful and empowered by your decisions, then you know that you are on the right track.

"We become intensely powerful and effective once we start believing in the light within us, and allow this inner light to guide us toward the right action."
~ Linda Tucker

You can look to others for inspiration and guidance, but ultimately the choices you make are up to you.

"This is my way; where is yours? – Thus I answered those who asked me 'the way.' For the way – that does not exist."
~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Choose to write the script of your life in alignment with your own personal values and vision.
With every decision you make for your life, keep asking yourself, "Is this what I truly want?", and do what feels right for you.

"Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~ James Allen

Be true to yourself, do what feels right for you, follow your own path and Get Your Glow On :)

With Love,

Know Yourself, Be Yourself and Get Your Glow On :)

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." - Mahatma Gandhi

To live your most joyful and happy life, you must to be true to your authentic self.
This means living your life in alignment with your own values and vision.

"You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside." ~ Alan Cohen

When you feel anxious, distressed or unhappy, you’ve disconnected from your authentic self.

If life’s not ‘working out’ the way you want it to, then it’s time to re-connect with Authentic You.

We can be so busy playing roles in our lives, that we lose touch with who we really are.

But we are more than just somebody’s daughter, wife, boss, employee, student etc.
Those roles do not define who we are.

"I am a human being, not a human doing. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't...you aren't."
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

Whatever other people happen to think of us does not define who we are.

"The fact is that who you are has absolutely nothing to do with any thoughts or opinions that exist in anyone else in this world." ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

As we continue to grow and evolve, who we were and where we’ve come from does not define who we are now, or who we can become.

"Our history is not our destiny.” ~ Alan Cohen

If you’ve lost touch with who you really are, then it’s time to get re-acquainted. :)

 “Know thyself and to thine own self be true.” ~ William Shakespeare

Take some time to think about what’s important to you.

• What are your values?     

• What do you love? What do you love to do?

• What makes you feel alive?

• What did you love to do when you were young? (If you're not doing that anymore, why did you stop?)

• What are your hopes and dreams?

"By my love and hope I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

When you abandon your hopes and dreams you disconnect from your authentic self.

• What is Your Vision of the life you want?

“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks within, awakens.”- Carl Jung

When you are true to yourself and living authentically, you’ll find that life is more harmonious.

"As the heart opens, the truth and splendour of who we really are is finally revealed and expressed as inner peace, love, joy and freedom." ~ Leonard Laskow

Embrace and respect who you truly are now, what’s important to you and what you want for your life.

Do what you love, do what inspires you and makes you happy and create the life that you want.

"So often we wait for the climate and conditions in life to be perfect before we feel safe enough to step forward, trust, and be our authentic selves. What we don't realize is that in order to create the ideal climate we are waiting for, we must be authentic first". ~ Sonia Choquette

When we live in integrity, we are empowered and energised as we are connected to our Source.
We live our lives with passion, enthusiasm and love.

Know yourself, be true to yourself and Get Your Glow On :)

With Love,
