Take A Risk - Personal Practice

It’s all about inspiration and relaxation right now in my practice.

I have, with the guidance of family and friends, noticed that the space I go to relax in is actually a bit stressful.  I have old reminders spread out in my home that are no longer part of that which I am and tend to be negative reminders of my past, my “work” is set up in my living room, and I have all my goals spread out through the house to keep me working hard on them.

How Exhausting!

No wonder I feel tired all the time.

So with this realization I am focusing on clearing my space so that I have time to relax and enjoy myself.  I put inspiration in the spaces I want to relax in and I’ve eliminated the “goal setting” and “old reminders” from these areas. 

I’ve moved work to one room and go there to focus on tasks I need to accomplish. 

I’m replacing old reminders with new inspiration for the now and the future throughout my home.

I have narrowed down my goals to a select area in the house.  My bathroom!  I figure I spend enough time in there trying to get ready and motivated for the day so I might as well make that the perfect spot to focus on goals.

Placing my goals in this space is actually enjoyable because it takes me out of a stressful mindset on the things I “have” to do for the day and gets me thinking about how to achieve the things I’d like to do in my life.  I put up a card on my mirror that asks me “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are” and I keep coming up with different answers as I get ready for work.  It’s a new fun game I play in the morning and is helping to change my mindset.  

I can’t wait to see what goals and thought provoking ideas I put in there next!

Set an Intention!
