Life Coaching Video: WORKING WITH YOUR BELIEFS, Your Thoughts - REALIZE YOUR GREATEST SELF

Hello lovely Friends!

Today's Empowerment Focus Topic & Life Coaching Video: 

WORKING WITH YOUR BELIEFS aka THOUGHTS TO REALIZE YOUR GREATEST SELF

🌞🕊🌞
Personal Power at its best!

♾♾♾

Could it be that some of your practiced thoughts or beliefs are keeping back the things you've been asking for?
We all have desires, wishes, dreams however some seem to take so much longer to materialize. Why is that?

Some people seem to receive it magically, easily and yet we personally struggle in that area or experience delay.
Well, possibly it is due to the beliefs we have.

Today's Empowerment Card Reading Video centers in on BELIEFS and how these are actually thoughts you keep thinking.

✏📝 Your Homework: 📝✏

📌For the thing(s) or area where you experience more delay or resistance in getting what you want - notice, observe your thoughts.

📌Identify how some might be limiting, resistant or fearful thoughts beliefs. Notice that these may be habitual, practiced thoughts. This is your inner work.

📌Then, CREATE NEW THOUGHTS, or affirmations.  Come up with 3-5 new thoughts that are uplifting, positive, empowering, forward moving, with "towards" language- that is state what/how you want it to be. Avoid negative language in your new thoughts.

📌Write them down and read them to yourself. Repeat 3 times daily morning, noon & night.

📌Keep it to yourself till you feel secure - although you don't need to tell anyone at all. This is Your INNER WORK.

Keep thinking the new thoughts and embrace your worthiness.
You deserve to be happy! You are worthy of your heart's desires. Just BELIEVE 🌞😉🙏.

Compassion & Self-Realization - Compassion for Self-Empowerment

🌸 COMPASSION & SELF-REALIZATION 🌸🕊

What does compassion mean to you and how do you relate to this word personally? This quality can play an extremely powerful role in your life, helping you to live a happier, more fulfilling life. 🕊 

Today's Personal Power Life Coaching discusses this relevant topic:

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary: "Compassion = sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it".

It is a feeling of kindness, active sympathy, benevolence, being kind-hearted, and understanding. In buddhism it is considered one of the 2 qualities (Wisdom + Compassion) that must be developed to realize enlightenment: Compassion - “The ideal of practice is to selflessly act to alleviate suffering wherever it appears” [http://buddhism.about.com/…/basicbuddhistt…/a/compassion.htm].
🕊
Compassion is an important quality for us to embrace not simply because Buddha, Patanjali, the Dalai Lama or another great sage said so. It comes down to the basic quality and feature of living humanely, lovingly and with heart in this world. We can also begin understanding Compassion by knowing its opposite - heartlessness, selfishness, egotism, despotism, cruelty, harshness, hate, intolerance.
💮

One of the effects of compassion is that we adopt a more “unity” and “oneness” consciousness or mindset. That is, when we practice compassion and are mindful of it in our lives we are empathetic to others’ plights and tribulations and appreciate that what can happen to another could very well happen to us. We open our heart, communicate sincerely, with integrity and live with more love, light, joy, ease and wellbeing. We feel deeper gratitude for our life and see many more of our blessings; we realize there are others less fortunate and that we can help in any small way without necessarily needing to take physical action. We can be compassionate when we simply project love and positive energy through thoughts, intentions and wishes towards XYZ.

These realizations ground us (down-to-earth) and bring us closer to the univeral, timeless Truth of being a part of the shared human collective - we are One, instead of one person, nation or group being superior or inferior. We are all human beings and we are going through the human life experience together and individually; no one is better than another person nor beneath anyone else. We are all one people, one race and all experience the same basic human needs to exist and coexist.

🐘 How can you practice more compassion in your daily life? 3 Helpful Tips:

1. 🏳 Be Aware, Open Your Eyes - We can start by awareness of what is compassionate and what it is not. What does it mean to you?🏳Look around you: Your environment, home, workplace, relationships, how others interact and notice where there is an opportunity to be compassionate, kind, caring, helpful or understanding. Often times, people use ‘being nice’, empathetic, sympathetic as synonyms for ‘compassion’.
2. 🏳 Self-Compassion - Be compassionate with/towards yourself, and then towards others. This means not judging yourself or being hard on yourself. Throw perfectionism out the window and celebrate the good work you are doing and the positive steps you are taking. Appreciate how far you’ve come along your own journey and the several ways you have changed for the better, and even if you cannot find too many ways that you’ve improved then acknowledge your willingness to do better and be a better person than you were yesterday. You always have the chance to change and you can do so with your intention and the empowering energy of self-compassion.
3. 🏳 Compassion Towards Others - Consider extending to others the benefit of the doubt rather than jumping to negative conclusions. Avoid criticizing or judging others. Understand that they are going through their own journeys and are doing the best they can. There is one NLP Presupposition summed up as follows: “People make the best choices possible with the information and resources available.” Although we might be inclined or habituated to judging someone else’s behavior, weakness, attitudes, or whatever other aspect you disagree with, we can practice compassion by understanding that they are doing the best they can, perhaps they do not know any better way and this is the utmost they can do at this time.

Practicing Compassion is incredibly important in today’s day and age - both for individual wellbeing and society at large.

Given our global societies evolving and industrializing at faster and faster rates there is more automation, computerization and more sources of immediate gratification and short attention spans. Our amazing technological progress has enhanced convenience in our lives yet it has also generated some degree of being dissociated and numb to real tragedy, violence and suffering around the world and in our local communities. The more we are exposed to “fake suffering” through movies, TV shows, commercials, video games, music and mass media overall the more sensational it is (violence, suffering, etc.) the more it serves as entertainment; as some become desensitized, there is less impact when real calamity occurs and thus people are unable to actually be the compassionate beings we are by nature. As to whether Compassion is inate or not, we need only look to the babies, and we too we once these same beings - kind, gentle, innocent, compassionate beings who can continue evolving as such when given the opportunities to grow up safe, positive, nurturing environments.


By practicing feelings of kindness, love, understanding, patience, and giving others the benefit of the doubt, we cultivate more wellbeing within us and then we can extend it others. Alternatively, if you have a hard time loving yourself and are your own worst critic yet easily feel compassion for others, then nurture the quality you extend to others and direct those loving, positive, warm vibes towards yourself! You deserve your own love. Indeed, this is fundamental to living your greatest, most joyous life possible. It starts with awareness and compassion.

Food & Nutrition are Crucial to Lifelong Personal Power, Joy & Health

Food is Vitality and Life Force! 🍒

• How can you eat to get the best results possible from food?
• Is proper, balanced nutrition important to you?

When we eat well we can give our best to life, and life gives us the berry best too :-). 🍓

The latest Personal Power Life Coaching video discusses why nutrition is vitally important so you live at your best for the rest of your life - optimal body, mind and spirit harmonization. When we eat well and holistically we feel great inside and out: strong bones, muscles, mental performance, wellbeing, fantastic energy for all of life's activities, and a more pleasant life experience. 

Why? 

Healthful, conscious and aligned foods have the nutrients and prana, or Life Force, that is essential to harmonious chemical balance within our organism, including the constant neurotransmitter interplays in our brain and stomachs (both regions which control emotions, thoughts, mindset and energetic processes).

🏺 Key Points on Food from the Video:🏺

• - Being mindful, conscious and aware of the type and quality of foods you eat.

• - Look at your current diet - How do you plan your food intake and choices? Is it balanced? Is it chosen intentionally, or haphazardly? Do you eat peacefully sitting down and enjoying each bite, or do you scarff it down in a rush barely remembering what you ate or if you enjoyed it? This aspect matters to the digestion and nutrient absorption. 

• - So many diets and recommendations in mainstream media. What's true? With the overflow of information, often contradictory (!), this means: Get to know your body, tune into your body's needs, appreciate it/yourself and do not compare yourself to others. What works for someone else does not necessarily apply to you. 

• - Do your own Food & Nutrition research, check different sources, read a couple of books, self-experiment and try different methods and approaches until to find something that suits you best. You will know you've struck gold when you feel good in body, mind and spirit - you have physical balance, good energy and are also able to eat in a manner that's sustainable for the rest of your life with relative ease and mindfulness.

• - The key to long-term health is a daily practice of mindful food choices with balance and this doesn't mean always eating "healthy" foods. Balance means being finely attuned to your unique self, needs, lifestyle, health requirement, and goals and then eating in accordance with that which serves you the best, and this can vary each day in slight ways. Thus, do learn to know yourself and trust yourself to make the right choices on those days or moments when they don't fit "the plan". 

• - Finally, set your intention and identify what is most important to you in your long-term health and vitality. What is your main outcome? And what foods and eating style are most compatible with that outcome? 

Wishing you a great day and happy, healthy and wholesome Life! 🍎🍒🍞🍕🍦😉

"I Think, I Breathe" - Poem by Jennifer Arcila (Oct. 31, 2016)

“I Think, I Breathe”

Poem by Jennifer Arcila, Oct. 31, 2016

A troublesome thought pops into your mind... 

Simply be Aware and close your eyes
Don’t believe everything you think
Some thoughts, my friend, have no heart; they’re easy, lazy lies, 

They flow in streams, link to link, leading many to the brink.

Simply notice; breathe into that thought
bring yourself into your heart center.
The Truth is pure, supreme, and eternal - it cannot be bought.
Let Breath be your loyal, loving mentor.

Let truth float to the surface, for you and all to see,
All in due course, my child; the timing is just right.

Surrender those thoughts to the easy, breezy light.
And so, my child, right now - You simply breathe, simply BE.

* The End - Thank you *

 This quotation is powerful: It is about Consciousness and Awareness of our mind and thoughts. Our Soul and Spirit Self is that energy/voice/inner energy that feels loving, nurturing and balanced; it does not judge or criticise and it's the voice that stays with you throughout your life guiding you to your joyful path through compassion, wisdom and God's grace. You are not your thoughts; thoughts are thoughts and they come and go and change. Anchor yourself, not to your thinking, but rather to that inner presence and energy that feels love, sincerity and connection to a higher power...a creative force that pushes you to be loving, kind, caring, and generous. Trust yourself to discover this Inner Resource and to focus on this particular relationship.  
{Image Source: http://redfairyproject.com/2015/04/5149/ }

Remind yourself daily, moment to moment: How am I breathing? Breathe in through the Nose, deeply into the belly, and exhale through the Nose, releasing whatever does not serve your joy and highest good. Let it go and come back to your Inner Peace.

The Magic - Daily Gratitude

Thanks to a recent catch-up with a good friend who shared with me the wonders of the book "The Magic", by Rhonda Byrne (same author of The Secret), I've decided to follow the book again. I had purchased the book almost 2+ years ago, started reading and then somewhere along the way fell off its trail and it slipped into temporary oblivion.

Anyways, Practice 1 is to write your list of 10 things for which your are grateful, every day/morning.
Here is today - Day3:

1. I am really grateful for this fresh, new day because it's a new opportunity at life, to enjoy time with the people a like and who love me, to be a cocreator, and to have fun and enjoy the life experience.
2. I am so thankful for this morning's fasted swim; I loved it because it helps me to take rest from gym while also burning fat, boosting my metabolism and keeping my muscles activated.
3. I so deeply appreciate the beauty of the morning time, especially today poolside; the radiant sun gives me energy and tans me, the birds are flying high and free, singing their bird songs, and the air is clean, fresh, new. It is peaceful and supporting; kind and caring; loving.
4. I really appreciate my safe and convenient drive to work because I reached safely and in good time; i like the flow of things.
5. I feel really grateful for the delicious decaf coffee I had; perfect taste, hot and nicely complementing my breakfast.
6. I really appreciate the nice person who took my pic this morning in bathing suit because i was able to really see progress in my physical development, and to appreciate who I am much more.
7. I totally love and am thankful for the safe, supportive, collegial and professional work environment where I work.
8. I am so thankful for the free car parking my company offers; bc of it I have a secure place where I leave my car the whole day, for free.
9. I am so thankful for my colleagues and all my peers at work, and everyone I interact with, bc everyone is a co-creator and our interactions gives us all more clarity and guidance on what we prefer (and don't prefer). There is a ton of valuable feedback in our daily interactions.
10. I am so thankful for last night's amazing sleep bc today I had great, positive energy and exuberance; I appreciate being able to appreciate and how thinking about these marvelous things enhance my sense of living and quality of life.

 What 10 things are you thankful for today? :-)

Good morning! Happy Tuesday - March 24 :-)

Good morning, gorgeous! Thank you, God, for this resplendent new day. It is filled with promise, magnificence, magic, true love and glorious energy.

Today is a day unlike any other and that is simply awesome and amazing.
It is my dominant intent to be powerfully focused on my joy, vortex and well-being. To notice all those wonderful things I admire, enjoy, appreciate, and find delightful.
I love to laugh, I love wonderful friendships and delightfully intelligent, soulful and stirring conversations.
I love connecting with a gorgeous handsome guy...where we are both feeling each other (i.e. "I'm really feeling you right now) ! That's fun :-) .

I really appreciate my work, my colleagues, my location.

I am in the right place at the right time; my timing is divine. It is all in God's hands. There are some things we cannot explain and in those cases I choose to let it go and let it be. I don't need to explain everything, I don't need to understand everything...Some things are not for my understanding and I am at peace with that.

God works in mysterious ways and the Source knows the cosmic, magical way that all of our lives are unfolding in profoundly beautiful, synchronous and miraculous ways.

We are all like members of an orchestra - an ensemble generating a glorious symphony that runs on and on and on...producing different notes, beats and harmonies at each millisecond.

I am in the right place right now - I am exactly where I am supposed to be. Each day gets better and better, and every day in every way I am getting better.

My daily goal is to improve 1% in any area of my life where I am focused on developing. My fitness, nutrition, my thoughts, work performance, reactions, ideas, inspired actions, contributing more to my/our community through positive videos and posts. I love doing this.

It is my heart's wish to be the best me, the fullest me and to be totally in the flow of my life to realize and express my full potential; and this is a manifestation of God's greatness through physical body, spirit, words and thought.

I live my life with purpose and passion; I am the joyful leader of my life.

 

It is my desire to make a lasting contribution to our/my world community and to help others improve their own lives by generating messages of positivity, enthusiasm, well-being, abundance, joy, elation, travel, adventure, exploration, reading and enlightenment. These messages of positivity will enhance the quality of every listener's thoughts to yield a happier outlook on life, more self-love, raised energy vibration and overall fun and appreciation for life as a miracle.

In turn, I open myself to receive great abundance of joy, love, success, prosperity and long-lasting health. I joyfully open myself to receive more loving support from those around me who can raise me higher, support me, motivate and inspire me, and encourage my greatness within. I joyfullly open myself to true long-lasting love with a happy partner/co-creator; I joyfully trust life, I trust myself, and all the loving people in my life. I release old fears and trepidations and allow myself to fully enjoy the flow of a happy, dynamic, fun and awesome life, now and forevermore.

I am a powerful magnet for inspiration, inspired action, love and wellbeing; happy, life-long friendships and partnership; success, abundance, peace, joy, expansion and happiness.

Life is an exquisite journey of magic and love, one step at time.

A Divine Unfolding - poem by J.Arcila (22/12/14)

*A DIVINE UNFOLDING* 

by J.Arcila

It's a brand new day, a brilliant, amazing, spectacular day. 

Taking a breath - a resounding inhale - that's all I need to give thanks,
Thank you, God, for this new start and the night that came before,
Every sunrise is preceded by a darkness.
I love that darkness too, for in that space
I regenerate, recover, renew and reset my mind, body and soul.
is splendid, glorious and divine.
What makes it all go round?
A never-ending path of inquiry and oh my, what a miracle we can even ask!
and for a pause, it's utterly profound,
the meaning of life...this moment, and knowing there is choice
and let yourself flow with the rhythms of time,
along the current of this love-filled universe.

The moonlit darkness, and even in this New Moon phase,

Who made all of this? Who chose these natural qualities of the world?

In this innocent wonder-filled amazement time disintegrates

Power to Choose

Power to Choose a thought and let it flow,

So divine.

Why be Strong - A New Poem: Piercing the Darkness

Good morning! It was a beautiful and magnificent night of sleep and now today, this moment, is a new beginning and fresh start. Thank you, God.

A new poem...my new belief system. Enjoy xx

Piercing the Darkness - 

Poem by J.Arcila (10 Dec 2014)

A divine moment begins,
the sun's light pierces through the alley drawn those two drowsy buildings,
A new alignment.
My community greets me and we are one,
We can set the tone, we can choose our filter,

I put on my dancing shoes and ready myself for fun,
What a delightful start; I'm giddy with anticipation.
I love who I love and this love expands

To be clear-minded, to allow,
to take it easy...and go with the flow,
That zing of inspiration flutters awake in my soul,
Like a bird in Central Park at dawn boldly shaking off bits and pieces of frost.

Lady Phoenix spreads her wings, she's been growing strong
She has new keys to soon-to-be-discovered doors
To paradise.

Paradise blossoms through the portal of the internal lens,
A focal point directed from and towards my heart.
Divine inspiration, divine allowing,
insightful growth and expansion,
being all that I can be, the Greatness that I Am.

It has always been there, now having shed its layers
ironically blooming in this nascent Winter
It's magnificent to anticipate how Lady Phoenix will evolve
into the fruitful Spring, through the salubrious Summer, and
further still through subsequent seasons,
rising higher still,
piercing the darkness to reveal an eternal truth

A Truth revealed from within to without, forevermore,
Like the Sun's brilliance - shining because it must.

Today I Write - Intention on 21 Nov 2014

Dear God,
A Poem for today:

My Heart Sings

Today I want to write because my heart sings in joy.

Today I write because my fingers and my thoughts are engaging in this verbal tango.

An emotional spiral of ideas, a flurry of expressions, and series of previously-unspoken potential - now manifested.

I write now right now because I can; I've done it before and I loved it.

8:16AM on 21/11/14
Just had a delicious nutritious breakfast, listening to Abraham Hicks, and I'm ready to set my intention.
I intend to focus on my alignment and care about how I feel; I am the creator of my own reality.
I choose my 'high-flying disc' and I intend to focus on feelings of joy.
Today and tomorrow I have the amazing opportunity to learn, develop my Coaching and NLP skills; to deepen and expand my awareness. Thank you, God, for this amazing gift.

I intend to notice the small acts of kindness, the smiles, all the favors along the way; the bliss of receiving far beyond my expectations.
I delightfully anticipate RDV'ing with like-minded people who are also high-flyers, lovers of life, who can inspire me and with whom to share ideas.
I love connection.
I choose the path of least resistance; to go with the flow; to trust my intuition...To channel any emotion into applicable information and data; there is no failure, only feedback.

There are so many valuable insights that I am ready to perceive and receive. There are so many wonderful experiences and delightful situations waiting in my vibrational reality - in my Vortex a la Abraham Hicks.

Education is wealth.
Health is wealth.
Love is wealth.
Joy is wealth.
Peace of mind and healthy mental functioning is wealth.

Dearest friends, family and lover,
If we consider these beautiful notions then we comprehend just how blessed and wealthy we really are.

We are only limited by our beliefs and mental Maps of the world. Our thoughts shape and define the world we perceive;

Quality thoughts = Quality Life

Thank you in advance for the wonderful soulful lover and life companion entering my life soon enough. 

Thank you for the amazing, strong and resilient woman I am and becoming more and more still.

You know what I really enjoy? Newness! Expanding my awareness and learning more to increase my appreciation for life. I love when I effectively uplift myself and subsequently hold enough self-empowerment to uplift others. 

Our life and reality is a like a Cruise along the Atlantic, traversing the Globe. We are all in this vessel together riding the crests of waves, and peacefully cruising through the calm waters; sleeping through the darkness of nights and thriving in the resplendence of sunshine. There are moments to celebrate and then there are the calm, routine elements of the cruise experience. All along our cruise we stop in different ports and harbors, meet new folks, buy new knickknacks and then we're ready to go back on board. That's how each day is - unloading at the port and having a new exposure on the meta-journey. 

And all along our Cruise vessel is the permanent, floating atop the majestic strength of Mother Earth. Some elements of the unknown future and some excitement. Ups and downs, and all along the beautiful constancy of your inner self on the journey.

I'm really looking forward to our next harbor stop - it is so much fun! :-)

Love you all, God bless xx

Dear God, Thank you

Wed 12 Nov 2014

Dear God,

I want to take the time to thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much from the wholeness of my heart and soul for all the blessings that you are gifting me here and now.

Thank you so much because you have helped me to overcome old heartbreak and healed my heart completely. I feel so good today, here and now, living in the light. Thank you because I have really moved on and have come to embrace the fullness of me, who I am and the deep, eternal love you have for me and that I have found bit by bit for myself. I've been improving on a daily basis and this self-love helps me be a better friend, colleague, daughter, sister, Coach, and contributing member to our global community. Love is #1 and love starts from within.

Truly, love is all we need. The love from within.

It's been a long journey; an interesting, spiritual, soulful and uplifting experience. It's been 2 years since the completion of that relationship experience and I've entered new territory in my self development and evolution.

I pray for my friends and others going through their own journey to self-discovery and self-love. That they, too, find sooner or later, the core of love within themselves rather than projecting it onto an external party, the lover, the desired other. I pray that my friends find peace too, because peace is the relief we seek.

It feels great to be in love in a mutually reciprocating dynamic. It feels the best when you love yourself so, so much that your happiness does not depend or stem on anyone else. That is amazing and that is power. That is the blessing and God's gift.

Thank you for helping me and guiding me, for holding my hand, to overcome depression, anorexia, humble beginnings and the pangs of loneliness. Thank you for always being with me, the constant source of my resilience and tenacity.

It is really such a BLESSING and breath of fresh air for my soul to feel free of suffering, free of the self-imposed pain of perceived rejection and non-reciprocated love.
I am grateful for where I am today...It's been through God's grace and strength that I have my current strength and grace. Peace. Peace of mind is invaluable. It is worth diamonds, rubies and the most precious stones on earth.

Peace of mind. Yes!

Thank you, God, for the beautiful music you've created through majestic composers of classical music.
Thank you, for the beautiful birds and butterflies; the fun, belly-hurting, joyous laughs shared with friends and family.
Thank you for the magic and sacredness of morningtime, its fresh air, undisturbed silence, quiet, newness, the opportunity to start again and give it your very best. To co-create and have fun; to live a new day.

Thank you for my fabulous job where I am appreciated and cared for.

God, thank you for taking care of me always. Together we have traveled to so many distant lands and you've always brought me back in one piece with more magnificent memories, souvenirs and enriching experiences.
Thank you for the financial abundance I experience on a daily basis, and which multiplies continuously. Thank you for your protection; for my home, for my adoring family, and the loving, caring beings with whom I share my life experience.

Thank you for my vibrant and healthy, strong body. You have really gifted me with a remarkable vessel that takes me to an infinity of places and it performs amazing feats. I am truly blessed.

Feeling Emotional

Hey there, good morning beautiful world!
Today is a unique day already, my gosh...Well, not the usually smooth experience getting to work.

Why?
I took my car for service yesterday and thus I don't have my car this morning for my usual commute to work. This has happened before for prior services and so I had envisioned that I would take a taxi as usual and reach work normally.
However, it was not the case!
The first taxi I hailed refused to bring me to Jebel Ali as they are currently in great construction. I was very distraught, upset and disappointed. I wanted to cry...I've been refused by Taxi drivers before due to either too short distance, or too much traffic, whatever stupid f'ing excuse - it never feels good and doesn't seem to get easier for me to stomach, although I did not actually release any tears - at least, lol.

The 2nd cab also expressed hesitation and doubt however less adamantly so; he mentioned "there is a lot of traffic, blah blah blah you can take metro, better" - I did not say anything and let him drive. There were no words for me to reply as
(1) I was already feeling emotional, jittery and didn't want to actually break down in tears OR snap with a mad woman's rage which has easily happened on necessary occasions. I am all about healthfully standing up for yourself and defending your right but in this case I wanted to reach the office in a graceful, peaceful state of mind and being - not a hot mess; AND
(2) I felt no desire whatsoever to have to convince anyone of anything or debate on the best mode of transport; I need you to take me to X destination, this is your job, you are getting paid for it, period. Yalla.

Anyhow, the experience was quite different than what I am used to and it left me feeling a bit off kilter. I feel jittery, emotional, like I want to bawl! That's so funny, though, bc there's no need for it. In fact, perhaps I am just being *hormonal*...there are such days and it is not necessarily because of the monthly cycle.



Sometimes, every couple of months I have a day of this like deep sadness or weird anger...when I just want to bawl, cry out loud and etc. Well, that's not really what i want to indulge or enhance. What I really want is feel good, relaxed, at peace, calm...happy and easy-going. Perhaps I am in need of a nap...and my cortisol is particularly elevated.

I feel my nerves on edge...Not sure why.

Since this weekend, Friday and Saturday, I woke up feeling fine yet within next 15-30mins of getting up and preparing my coffee, food, morning ritual...I felt sort of BLAH. However, on Friday it was dissipated since we had a lovely picnic in the park with friends and that was most joyful.
Yesterday Saturday I also felt a tired all over my body - I felt sort of lost, and confused...partly bc I had to take my car early morn to service and I just had this overall kind of lack of directionality or deep in-ness with the moment. I dropped the car for svc and came back home to take the towels out to dry. Fortunately, the day was quite active and it was so wonderful to be spending it with friends at a house BBQ and also on a date which was very nice.

These days I find I'm improving in my ability to cope with times when my mood seems to be off...I just tell myself, "Hang on, it'll be over soon." And I start counting to distract myself_1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...
It works.

The truth is today I feel emotional, sensitive and edgy. I hope it will pass soon. I want to sleep deeply, peacefully and soundly tonight. I want to live today calmly and successfully.
I want to be joyous with the things that ARE.
I am constantly reminding myself of my multiple, countless, incredible blessings. Simple things like having plenty of drinkable water at my disposal, being able to exercise, having a healthy, strong and vibrant body; eating nutritiously; having a lovely apartment to call my own where I can enjoy my time.

However, I will accept and acknowledge that today (as always) I am where I am...And where am I? Feeling sensitive, feeling emotional, feeling like crying so, so very much. It's crazy.
I know it will pass eventually. It is the contrast of feeling good vs. feeling blah that reminds me how terrific it is to feel good.

I am where I am. Hang on it'll be over soon...
