Visualization

Visualization is a great tool to be able to get your spirits back up. Visualization lets your mind be free. I personally, since I was very young, used this tool to keep my goals in mind. Focus on what I want and the positive aspects of life. That's how I am able to wake up in the morning with a smile on my face. I just did an exercise where I invisioned a beautiful temple, gold light coming down. Enhacing the colors as the seconds went on... minutes went on.. I was at peace sleeping and woke up refreshed. I felt renewed. Take the time to do a visualization exercise and go to a place that you love. Feel loved there.. you will feel a difference in the morning. Do the exercise for at least 15-20 minutes before bed.

Feeling alive

When we look back on our little moments in this life of ours, we want to be able to say that each of them are filled with our personality, greatness, and our best self... don't we?? Yes! That's how it should be. My moments now are filled with becoming aware of myself. I want to be able to say that was me, that was my best decision, that was what I hold myself to. We kind of lose that when we don't take care of ourselves. I don't want to be one of those who run their lives, days, hours on auto pilot. I feel that way especially when tired and not speaking my mind. That won't be me. Taking time for myself and getting back to my roots... when I would take at least one to two days to myself to recover from the week. I've been keeping to not eating after 7:30... better for your body and mind and especially sleep... your body is not busy breaking down your food while sleeping and disturbing you.
All in all, your body, mind and spirit need to be looked after and the only person to do that is yourself. You are responisble.

Pure Spirit

"Pure spirit exists at the center of all form. Of Itself, It is formless but It is ever giving birth to form. The forms come and go but It goes on forever. We are some part of It. If pure Spirit is at the center of everything and is always respondning to our thought there is no limit to Its manifestation for us except the limitations that we set." Ernest Holmes

Lesson: Don't set limitations on your self or for yourself.

All in all...

All in all I feel like things and ideas are coming together. Everyday is a challenge to stay on track because there is so much bombardment. Keep your mind focused on what is important to you and you will make it happen. I am looking forward to buying a house next year, so my mind is on saving money every way possible... not easy though when things come at you and you want to have fun. But is that really important?.. is it really important to go have fun and will you enjoy it when you don't have that liquid cash to just be spending like that? I don't really find it so fun when the funds aren't there b/c they are being used to save. Of course I have the funds, but not so free like that. So I need to be stricter now. I don't care how cheap I become.. this saving is happening AND debt is being paid down. :D. By next year I will be debt free.. and have money in the bank substantial enough to put down for a down payment. I will still have fun though.. just not with using money. haha. ;).
I am on track with getting my business up and running. I got the business cards.. got my sewing machine.. and now have to set it up and start making time. I'm extremely excited for these changes and path in life.

Remember, taking risks are what gets us to get that change in our life.. risk paves the way. Risk makes things happen. So I am willing to take those risks to make a way for myself. Without taking those chances... we may lose out on what we CAN become. I am in!

new travels

So apparently I am not keeping to my word. I will post when I am able to. Good enough. :).

I am thinking how I should spend my time... I want to be doing something productive. I am going to be working on my business of designing. I took the step of ordering the business cards. Now when I receive them I will be handing them out. That's the next step. I am excited. After that I need to set time up of when I can work on my projects. It shouldn't be hard because I always have time now. Time is valuable and I need to treat it that way. I will start out with two days a week then go to three if I have to. As I create to build my portfolio, I look forward to gaining my clientel. I am getting my mind straight and want to become disciplined. Next week here we come!

Own

I already got off the wagon with not blogging daily. I will start out slowly with blogging at least 3 times a week. This should work. I've learned a lot about myself in the past year. And have made some more goals for myself for the end of the year. I want to buy a house by March of next year. Save up any chance I get. I am working at a few designs for the fashion show in May. I am on my next to last piece. Can't wait to get it sewn! Things are coming together. I am owning my life. That means getting to where I want to be... not staying in this job, but moving to a more productive, creative one where I can be myself. It will come.. I will make it happen. I was reading a few quotes online and liked this particular one- "Life is short. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and so something that matters to you, that moment is now." I've got the designing aspect in my life about 2 years ago... so working on that fashion show project.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." Cecil Beaton. Taking risks and being different... creating your OWN is what I am after. You need to be your own person and not be afraid.. replace fear with love. That's my objective now. ^_^

Fear Less

As I wanted to create and maintain a blog for a while now, I finally get the chance and opportunity I wanted to set this up and hopefully keep up with it. Thoughts, feelings, quotes, moments, etc will be shared on here and I can't wait to be able to sit down and read what I have written days, months, years from now. :)))). I am ready to let loose and feel revived again from writing.

Here is a quote that I came across that I am embracing: "Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours." Letting this fully embed in your being will have you being more centered. Life may get the best of you, but keeping a balance will make a difference on how you view it and how others perceive you. We may seem like life beats you up.. and tears you down, but by the end of the day hopefully you can say to yourself you did something that you are proud of and made a difference in what you stand for.

I was told that I am naturally a positive, optimistic person who brings light to any situation by a person who is very sensitive to other's energies. Writing makes me feel empowered, uplifted, free. So that is what I am going to stick to on a daily basis, if not daily then every other day. Expression nees to be in everyone's lives. Anyway you choose to express; clothes, hair, makeup, outgoingness, photography, painting, any form of the arts- go for it. Don't waste another day because before you know it, you will be wondering what you did with your time. So I vow to myself I will fear less, chew more, breathe, practice listening and love more.
