Today’s Quote

“Remember, if your spirit is broken, all is lost. So cast away negative or pessimistic thoughts….your inner development is very much the focus and major necessity of this time.”

– I Ching, The Book Of Changes

Your Authentic Truth

I am at the end of my 2^nd week back at work after a month holiday- my first in 10 years! And the first ever month off! So, now I “get” the holiday thing…

The build up to the holiday was HUGE! Thankyou to all those who attended and assisted at Ignite Your Heart, the Grads Event, the Coffee and Chat and Living Life Passionately. Your support and commitment MAKE these events and I am truly grateful.

As of last Sunday, we now have a new band of graduates out amongst you, Living Life Passionately. Bravo! It was an honour to spend time with and facilitate such a group, so keen and committed to finding and living their lives with love and purpose. Remember, what you focus on grows!

It’s been great to catch up with so many of you in clinic over the last 2 weeks and to enjoy Meditation classes when they kicked off on last Wednesday and the NEW Ignite Your Heart started last night. Yay!

Where to on the holiday I hear you ask? Spending a month Celebrating my dearest friend’s (some of you have nicknamed him”Stedman”) BIG Birthday… a wonder-filled month travelling all the way from Uluru (2^nd visit-WOW!) to Dunedoo and Gulgong (yes, really) and then down south to Bermagui, with a few stops in between to be enthralled by Steely Dan and Stevie Win wood and AMAZED and INSPIRED by The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. Yes. Wow!

All this got me thinking…where has our Authentic Aussie nature gone? I love country and outback Australia for WHO WE ARE. The summer of the Seventeenth Doll capture this, and the essential nature of man. What I’m talking about has nothing to do with nationalistic fever. This is about out True Selves.

Australians have done so well to make our products and services marketable to the world, from the arts, sciences, engineering through to intellectual property. Yet we have suppressed some of our Aussie –isms and some have faded away fear of non-acceptance.

How much of your daily lives are changed, suppressed or apologised for fear of being rejected, unloved or unaccepted. There comes a point where the piper needs to be paid…suppression and secrets can create imbalance in our body and create ill health.

Because… the way we think about ourselves and life affects the way we feel about ourselves and life and that affects our physical bodies. So what are you thinking? Who are you being?

It’s time to pay attention to the parts of your life that are no longer working for you. Where you are being someone other than who YOU truly are, and create changes to turn your life around. The times are demanding you to Live from Your Truth- doing what you love doing, what fills you up, being who you truly are in your heart of hearts. It’s time to re-prioritise your To Do List and take time to care and nurture yourself for yourself so you have the energy to be you.

Take a moment and begin to imagine who you want to be when you are 10, 20, 50 years older….Most often we first focus on what we don’t want- and then we get it!

Who do you want to be?

This is about stopping when are REACTING to life. It’s time to become the creator, director, the CEO, the benevolent leader of your own life… and learn to create a life you can RESPOND to. And, if you need some help with that just ask me.

A life connected and comes from your heart, your spirit. Where you are Living Your Truth. Being You. You are the only person in the Universe with the job of being you. So Be You. And let you Spirit Soar.

All the best always,

Deb
