For those of you who are living on the edge of chaos or feeling stuck or totally clueless about your career, your business, your relationships, and your life here are 3 changes that will change E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. (And yes, these are the 3 changes that changed EVERYTHING for me!)
1. A change of pace.
We are masters at go-go-go. And some of us, are even masters at making others go-go-go. But the most significant change you could ever make is learning to stop + slow down. This is the stuff of mastery. A change of pace requires space. Space to breathe. Space to cultivate a quiet mind. Space to open our hearts. Space to reconnect with our bodies. Space to nourish our souls. Space to just be.
So clear your crazy busy schedules and make space to meditate, practice yoga, journal, rest in natures embrace, stare at the stars, lay on the earth, watch the clouds, or float in the ocean. These are the things that create the stillness + the silence necessary to reveal your deepest truth.
2. A change of purpose.
The change of pace will ignite the spirit of inquiry. Figuring out who you truly are + why you are here is all about asking yourself the right questions. If you feel like your job/career path is killing your soul, stifling your creativity, and causing you immense stress then now is the time to make some changes. Aligning your great work with your hearts truest desires is a dream come true for many people. To help you along the way, check out Danielle Laporte’s Spark Kit, in particular the True Strengths + the Metrics of Ease Chapter. It was my saving grace in helping me discover my genius and making it matter.
3. A change of perception.
Forget positive affirmations and rose coloured glasses. None of that matters if you do not FIRST acknowledge the absolute truth.
“Expressing the truth about who we are and what we really want is the key to peaceful and healthy living. Listening to ourselves and acknowledging what we feel allows us to change what is not working and to live in a more beautiful, meaningful and purposeful way. If we are not willing to listen to or see our truth, the question that we really need to ask is who is the lie for? ” Deborah King ~ The Truth Heals
Journaling is a great tool when it comes to truth telling. It’s an opportunity for you to release what you are truly feeling without the need to censor it. Start each entry with “Today I felt…” and let the words flow.
Nicely put, nicely put :) I’m absolutely head over heels for the life that results from those very changes. I am so glad I happened upon your blog :) Your “style” I guess I could call it very much rings true within me and I find myself looking forward to my email telling me to come over here and spend a little while in your corner of the “blogosphere” (that is what they call it, right? lol, that’s what the blogging books I’ve read call it ;) I love your title too- around the time I was really getting into brainstorming ideas for the blog I write and maintain I was also reading Pronoia (rob brezsny) so sort of contradictory, paradoxical category headings like “Random Acts of Bludgeoning Beauty (instances of stand out expression of the beautiful truth of life)” or “Spew Bucket (the ranting of rational/maniacal/logical ego temper tantrums).” Ahh!! As I look up I see it’s sunset time so good night till we meet again~

Funny you ask them 3 questions i was having this same discussion with my dear friend just a moment ago . these questions will definitely make us look inwards when your feeling frazzled and out of the loop of reality u need to stop and beware of whats happening around us and not be clouded with other peoples opinions and perceptions of us and what we do. Danielle Laporte’s Spark Kit, is a good scent it tap’s into your truth and sparks your true emotions deep with in our selves it maKES ME Understand who i truly am with out theBull shit that society throws at me.. Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are – not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within – that you can begin to take control.
