Life - The Eternal Blank Canvas

Hello, welcome to this week’s offering.

I hope you're enjoying this beautiful full moon week.

Thank you to those who wrote in to say how much they had an "aha moment" in reading last week’s newsletter about how much we actually Trust each day without realising, always happy if what I share helps.

This week I wonder if you have ever wished you had done something different? I know I have. The good old saying "hindsight is a wonderful thing" has been thrown around for years. The older I get the more I realise that in every moment we have a choice, to create or learn. Both are ok, as long as we acknowledge that in a decision we have chosen one or the other, that is where empowerment lies, rather than just criticising we should have done it better. Instead asking ourselves, "In this situation have I chosen to create/re-enforce the same outdated pattern again or am I using this as an opportunity to learn and change my behaviour, opinion or creations from this point forward?"

You have heard me say before that no one gave us the "Manual to Life!" and therefore all we can do is the best we can with what we have at any given time. Each second/breath the canvas is wiped clean if you choose to do so. Behaviour and choices are made every moment of everyday.

I often find when working with people they are waiting for a better day or time to create positive changes in their lives, tomorrow, next week, once the kids are older etc. Don’t wait any longer. The moment you decide to change or create something positive in your behaviour for yourself, that is the moment to begin. No bells or whistles required, it will be the Ego/Mind that says, "I will start fresh tomorrow, or I will wait until Monday and the new week to begin my early morning walks." Whatever it is, why not start now if you can? Go for a walk, feel how good it makes you feel and that feeling will be the best motivation for tomorrow's early morning walk.

Or perhaps your change in habit might be how you speak to yourself. Are you critical of yourself? If so, create an alternative. Many people try to change their self-critical behaviour without having a plan for the new way for the mind to think. Plan A the old way of self-criticising. Plan B is a positive new way of speaking. It is important that you don’t make it long and arduous or you won’t keep at it. Something short, simple and positive that you say to yourself instead of the critical.

In this time of great change we are being asked to feel, feel, feel our interaction with life. Not think, analyse or keep waiting and recreating that which we wish to change. This moment, this breath you can restore your empowerment in awareness. To make decisions based on how they make you feel, supported or disempowered, you choose. Not necessarily what makes the most sense or has been your past decisions. The current time is encouraging change, trust and growth into new areas of ourselves through feeling and stillness.

Remember, your life, your blank canvas to create on. The colour palette, the speed, the choices, you live, yours to determine.

Feel the freedom to let your artistic Self create, through feeling rather than thinking, you will create from heart rather than mind. Follow the heart, you follow your alignment of your dreams to become your reality.

May your week ahead be one of great creations.
