Elevated the World

If I force you to be like me,
I have failed you.
If you force me to be like you,
you have failed me.
If you force anyone to be someone else,
you have failed the world.

If I encourage you to be you,
I have empowered you.
If you encourage me to be me,
you have empowered me.
If you encourage anyone to be themselves,
you have elevated the world.

12 Day Mindful Meditation – Day 16

WELCOME TO DAY 16! 🏵 I feel nothing but gratitude for you as we continue on this Journey………

“If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.” -Meister Eckhart

Today is all about gratitude! With less than a week left together! It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey Day 2, Day 10, Day 16 – keep it going! The benefits are incredible. This is more than an abundance journey it is one of growth and reflection. One of mindfulness and forgiveness.

All of which we are finding out is the key to our unlimited abundancy. In these last few days of the challenge more space is given for personal reflection as we continue the practice of self-inquiry.

Each day we are looking inward, to reflect on the energy we all share, the abundance of thoughtfulness, care and love we each can experience in these exercises – take a moment to reflect on that, we are all doing this together, you are never alone. ❣️

✨✨ TODAY’S PHRASE ✨✨

📘 Write this phrase of the day in your notebook and reflect on it throughout the day. “Today I remember to be grateful.”

MEDITATION & MANTRA 🧘‍♀️

This is the Sanskrit Mantra you will repeat during meditation: Om Vardhanam Nama

✍️TASK

Make a list of all the things that you have always wanted to do but have postponed, at least until now.

This could be because of other priorities, the fear of hurting someone, or the fear of failing. Regardless of the reason, these are things that you still plan on doing.

The idea of writing this list is to forgive yourself for everything that you have not done in your life.👉For each line on your list, write a text of forgiveness based on examples below:

❣️I, full name, forgive myself absolutely and lovingly for… not graduating from university.

❣️I, full name, forgive myself absolutely and lovingly… that I did not show my vulnerability.

✨Write down anything and everything you want, without limitation. Remember the Universe is limitless and that which you are seeking is also seeking you.

Embrace All Parts Of You

magine a bowl. This bowl has been still for a very long time. It is completely full, and it seems like the water that fills it is completely still, totally pure. 
Still … If we were to look into the depths of this water, we would find sediments, solids, everything that was present in this water, that through time settled at the bottom of this bowl like mud.
If one was to take this bowl and hold it over an intense stream of water, it could be quite shocking to see the mud, the solids that have been dormant for so long, to start surfacing. The water we thought was clean is suddenly completely dirty and there are big lumps of dirt … Suddenly we are faced with that which we thought was gone long ago … 
All we need to do is to not focus on the dirt, but on the pure, clean water (in our case it is really light) that is flowing through us, bringing to surface all that needs to be brought to light, transforming it. 
Embrace all parts of you.
They need it.

Your Progress In Life Begins In Your Own Mind and Ends In The Same Place

Every great accomplishment began with the germ of an idea in the mind of a great person, then was shaped for practical usefulness and finally transformed into reality. Make your mind a fertile ground for ideas through constant study and learning, and condition through constant practice to discipline yourself to follow through on your good ideas. The most brilliant concept in the world is only a dream unless you take action. Even a mediocre idea that is put into practice is far more valuable than a flash of genius that languishes in a fallow, undisciplined mind.

“Believe in your potential. Believe in your capabilities. Keep focusing on what you can do, and not on what you can’t. Constantly work to empower yourself. Trust in your goodness and in love. Know your intentions, and hold on to those intentions no matter the outcome. No one can take your power away from you without your permission. Reclaim you power. Empower yourself. You are capable. Focus on the steps and the doing and you will soon find yourself doing and experiencing things you never imagined you could be. One brave step at a time. Perseverance, diligent, and consistent effort are incredibly powerful.”

Wonderful Wednesday-Setting Boundaries Is Essential To Your Empowerment

aneta-ivanovas-double-exposure-portraits_GQhpyAi

There is so much to say about boundaries and how foundational they are for our sense of self. In this post, I’ll focus mainly on the relationship between our self-worth and our ability to set healthy boundaries effectively.

Without firm boundaries, we can easily become “merged” or enmeshed with others, causing us to emotionally caretake, be overly responsible, or neglect our own needs. When boundaries are too rigid we isolate ourselves and push others away.
