Listen AND Heed!

All too often we ignore the Whispers from out bodies and "push on", thinking we're being "responsible". Nothing could be further from the truth. When your body sends signals, whether it is tired or achy or stiff or just plain BLAH, it is a very good idea to not just listen, but heed its messages. It is giving you fair warning: "please take care of me now or things are going to get ugly."

Sometimes it is far better to take ONE DAY and do nothing. Call in to work and honor your SELF. Lay in bed. Or, better yet, have yourself a nice warm bath, then put on your PJs and then park yourself on the couch with a warm blanket. Watch a movie (or 5); read; sleep; drink warm beverages and eat chicken soup. Just be STILL and take care of that vessel that houses your Spirit.

Pay attention! 

I share this with you today because there are several people in my realm who are dealing with the "ugly" their bodies tried to warn them about. And, as you might have guessed, things are ugly for them now. It's sad to watch; even sadder knowing that they could have avoided it.

I really do hope you'll hear what I'm saying here. We have so many guides in our lives, the best of which is our very own body. It knows what it needs. It speaks to us. All the time. Trouble is, we're either unfamiliar with its language OR we ignore it all the way around.

NOT good.

So, at the risk of redundancy, I'll say it one more time:

PAY ATTENTION.

If you don't, you're going to experience a world of hurt that you could have avoided had you only listened (and heeded!).

Just sayin'

the Knowing....

Do you remember how it felt "that time" when you were standing at a fork in the road, with a choice in front of you, and you knew, without a stitch of doubt, which choice to make? Standing there, with your desire, pure and joyful and exuberant with the knowing of the choice you would make. Fearless, thrilled to your toes with the Knowing. So excited that you threw your arms in the air and shouted "YESSSSSSSSS! IT'S MINE!" Laughing and dancing and clapping your hands in glorious expectation of your desire come to you.

Do you remember?

Stop for a moment. Stop and pull out all the many experiences you've lived. Find that "one" that made you feel that way. The one that started with joyous expectation, unfolding perfectly, culminating without a single glitch. Even if there is only one. Maybe there are more...but it doesn't matter "how many" times you felt that feeling of absolute joy for the desire come 'true'. Find one or two or seven. Relive the whole she-bang. Get those feelings fired up as if you were living it right now.

Are you there? Can you feel it?

THAT is the stance from which to live your life and the choices you get to make. From that place of exuberance. That place of confidence. That place of unadulterated KNOWING.

Making a choice from any other place is just plain crazy. We all have the Knowing. We've all experienced something so pure that when we recall it, we also remember that there are no mistakes. There are no bad choices. There are no flaws in the system. We all have this Knowing.

And when we use the Knowing to guide ourselves through the zillions of choices we are afforded each and every day, life is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.

This, my friend, is the funnest way to live your magnificent Life.

Whaddya think?
