Creating Calm

How is your life moving along?  What is working for you and what isn't?  Is there something in your life that is creating chaos around you, disappointment, do you become discouraged, feel empty, or spin your wheels to no advantage of your own?

Start the day by creating calm, lasting peace and become centered.  I use to have a hard time meditating, visualizing though I have been pretty good at.  Now, with new upcoming adventures on the way, I decide each and every day, to wake up, grab my first cup of OJ, sit, close my eyes and finally am able to feel a meditative state of calm.  Do what you can to start the day with a calm nature, calm environment and breath easy.  Turn on the radio, have some scented candles around...possibly lavender, smile for a few minutes before you start the day.  There is always stress, driving to work-especially in Canada where our Winters are so hazardous is a stress in itself.  Give yourself the time of at the least five minutes of a serene state before venturing out.  Picture even a happy day, whatever your day entails, picture yourself meeting the most excellent people even if to just offer a smile or a pleasing nature.

Here in Canada Spring is just around the corner.  How do you plan to spend your spring and summer, usually with BBQ, Beaches, lazy days, vacations, family and many celebrations.  WHAT will make this spring and summer better then the rest?  What is working for you this spring and summer and what is not?  To get the most out of the seasons that you deserve for relaxation after a cold, chilling winter...What is stopping YOU from enjoying Calm, Peace and a Tranquil summer season?

Are there relationships, either close or other that really do not serve you?  Are these relationships stepping on your ability to create calm?  Can you detach from these relationships, in order to meet others who see you in the best light?  Drop them...IT is really not worth the battles you face.  Are there a few people, one or many that choose to be a stick in the mud, while the mud then sticks to you-not allowing a creation of calm?  Are there circumstances or situations in your life that just does not sit well, serve well or allow YOU to be well?  Are you at a Job, or stuck in a Career that just brings you further down and away from your authentic self?  What is holding you back from Calm to Happy to Jumping out of the bed, to enjoy whatever comes your way?  To say to yourself each and every day, "I can not wait to get out in that snow, that wind, that sun to come home smiling because YOU have created a life for YOURSELF with purpose, meaning starting from a calm nature.  What though is weighing YOU down to fulfill your purpose, your passion and YOUR full heart?  HOW do you get UNSTUCK?  AND are people around you willing to see that you are stuck, or unhappy and TRY to make your day BETTER, not worse.  Are others you choose to be with, spend time with, drawing on your energy until you plummet or are your surroundings nurturing, giving, loving and respectful....?

Create Calm each day and realize what is NOT working for you.  If you can pinpoint whatever it is that is holding you back, nip it in the bud on each and every occasion.  This is YOUR life and a worthy one.  Make sure that YOU are able to create your life with purpose on purpose; because you do only have but one and an important one, with an important role in this world.  Once you figure out WHAT or perhaps WHOM is not working in your life, sift it out.  Make a path to lead you on a journey meant only for YOU, with your needs, wants and desires in mind and met.

Say perhaps you wake up each and everyday, with a good attitude, you JUMP out of bed, because you choose to, then like so many days before you trip on that same single piece of "something" in the way, you trip, stub your toe, jumping up screming OUCH every single day.  This "obstruction of something" has been there for Ten years, you trip over that single small piece of furnishings over and over for Ten years, but decide to carry on, with a brused and bashed toe as you fill the rest of your day.  It isn't that you purposely trip over the "something" in the way...you just have no idea where to put it?  Then one day as you lay your head at night, you decide to move the "something".  You wake up, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and for the first time in TEN years, you do not have a bashed toe, while you jump your way around the house.  Instead, you JUMP out of bed, swiftly, smoothly as YOU have created an environment of calm as you gracefully go through your day, without becoming hurt.  

Your day, is somehow easier, lighter, your shoes for one feel so much more fitting, you don't have to come home and rescue your toe by icing it.  Instead, you glide your way through YOUR life, removing the obstacles, holding you back-even just a little-even just a lot.

Find and seek out WHAT is NOT working for you, whether, person, obstruction, job, car, home, environment, simply remove it, or remove YOURSELF and MOVE ON...to a day, that YOU deserve, all that YOU want, all that will feed you and nourish YOU everyday.  Replace the "something" perhaps with something YOU have always wanted to do, creating not just CALM, but HAPPY, JOY, BLISS...just because YOU have made a decision to remove that something....simply because YOU deserve a full life lived on PURPOSE, with PASSION and how YOU decide to live it, however that shall be!  Create Calm while YOU move along in the moment, each and every moment...because in this life, each moment is precious and every moment counts.
