Capture the daylight – find the magic

magic3

 

The last few months I have been juggling a communications job, while still teaching yoga, pilates and body balance.  It has been hectic and I have felt tired and stressed.

Finding the time to write with a clear mind has been challenging to say the least.

My communications job and teaching job could not be two worlds further apart.

Instead of writing (even though it pains me to have put it on hold) I have been focussing on finding beautiful moments in the edges of my days.

Capturing moments of fresh air and daylight.

I have discovered that when I can live outside these two worlds, when I can sit and enjoy the edges of the day, that is when the magic really happens.

Where possible I will get ready for work even three minutes earlier and using those three minutes to sit outside and just breathe.

What has been getting me through is taking a ten minute walk at lunch time, or leaving the office in time to see the last fifteen minutes of a sunset.

In the edges of the day, surrounded by nature, my brain is momentarily clear and focussed.

I can write my class plans, I can reflect and I can re-energise.

In the edges of the day that is where all the magic happens.

To those of you who have been reading my blog when I have not been updating nearly as frequently as I should, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sunsets a positive sign from the universe

Yesterday afternoon, as a full day of yoga training finished, a sea of smiling content faces were basked in an orange glow as the sun set behind us.

This morning I woke up filled with excitement for another day of training, I thought about the beautiful sunsets I have been lucky enough to view this week.

This morning I had a thought, maybe the sky gives us a sign that we are on the right life path. When the positive creative thoughts transpire from our heart and our soul and are mirrored into the universe as a beautiful vibrant sunset.

Each day I am fortunate to teach beautiful people; their drive, their motivation, their dedication inspires me each and every day.

Their energy feeds me, their smiles warm my heart and their struggles inspire me.

Now I have new teachers to inspire and motivate me, their beautiful energy flows through me, and I will pass this on to my class members, my friends and my family.

This beautiful flow on of positive energy is happening, and all the while the universe quietly sits by, watching and smiling.

Positivity is contagious, good energy is electric.

One good thought in the morning can really change your entire day.

As I think about the sunsets of late and have watched the skies become a rich tapestry of colour as the positive energy fills the universe and the cycle continues, I have never been more sure of this.

Everything is energy

As I sit and watch a rather large storm brewing outside my house, I start to think about energy.

I love the crazy energy that a building storm brings.

My hair will sense a storm several hours before it even hits.

Everything is energy, and just as my hair will pick up the storms energy and pre-warn me with massive curls and frizz, so to can the energy you put out affect those around you.

So I ask you this, do you think it’s possible that if you consciously decide to emit positive energy, that more often than not, you will attract positive energy in return?

This positive energy will present itself through the people you meet or the situations you encounter.

Likewise if we keep holding on to negative thoughts and feelings those feelings will keep growing stronger and bringing more negative energy, thoughts, feelings and situations our way.

Where your focus goes the energy flows.

Next time you are lying down, try this; lie on your back with your palms facing up to the ceiling.
Focus on your palms and as you do, notice a slight tingling feeling in your hands, then notice that feeling intensifying, as you hold your focus there…..

Crazy huh!

Everything is energy, it’s up to you how you want to use it.

Selfish Saturday

So today on fabulous Friday, I would like you to all do me a favour.

Close your eyes for a moment and think about something you can do tomorrow that is purely selfishly just for you.

Do it now, close your eyes, think about something you want to do, something that doesn’t involve anyone but you.

Even if its hiding in the bathroom for 5 minutes, going for a walk by yourself, think big, think small; it doesn’t matter, but it needs to be something for you and you alone.

Picture it, feel it, imagine it with vivid clarity.

Then my next request is tomorrow you do everything you can to make this happen- why because you deserve it!

You deserve to feel fabulous, to be selfishly indulgent if even for a moment.

You deserve to be happy, to succeed, to look after yourself.

Taking time out from your everyday life is so important, to recharge, regroup and give you energy for the week ahead.

You owe it to yourself!
