Tips to Achieving Your Goals Somatically

Reflection of yin and yang balance (feminine and masculine energies)

Yesterday I shared an exercise to introduce a connection to mindful intention and action in one’s personal environment.โ€‚It is the first tip of 31 created to cultivate somatic and mindful awareness.โ€‚

In 2013 I wrote a little booklet to support an introduction for practicing techniques to ground and expand mindful connection using focused attention on the integration of intention with action. The purpose of these tips is to cultivate conscious awareness.โ€‚One way you can bring your goals into reality is to consider these daily awareness techniques and actions to define your intention. Bring them alive by making time to manifest physical change in your living/working space. ย It takes a few minutes a day.ย  Designed for slowing down and consciously pausing to reflect, notice and take actions. It is for creating your dreams and taking actions to make them happen that combines mindfulness and physical action to create your space of ‘success’. ย Each day for 31 days there is a short pattern or exercise to integrate in one’s environment to support change and connection!

Here is the second tip on day two for you to investigate and experience.โ€‚Each January I follow this program to remind myself and reconnect to my space and things with intention and mindfulness.โ€‚

Here is a pdf of exercise 2 for your enjoyment!โ€‚

Leave a comment and share back how this exercise was for you. For me I felt pleased after doing this task that I have done numerous times before with no sense of joy, rather felt effort previously.โ€‚The difference was the connection to my intention and purpose.โ€‚It change the inner vibration in the action that began with a different mindset.โ€‚My mind was refocused and the thought stories were of a higher vibration.โ€‚

Hard to rock past choices in January!

January can be the time where it’s hard to rock past choices that weren’t in alignment with what makes you truly happy. Sometimes decisions are made from a mindset of what ones thinks is safe or from others bad advice, yet what is unknown is the long term effects of false safety choices. (Safety isn’t stagnant, it’s in ones agility) Long term effects begins to express themselves through the range of depressed and anxious emotions in one’s emotional, mental, and physical functions. It seems January is when the reality of the truth hits. After the glitter distraction of December with social engagements and the ra ra of New Year’s celebrations and goal projections, January can be when there is no denial. It’s obvious. The biggest recommendation I am currently sharing is for individuals to get back to the simple basics of committing to themselves. Rather than focus on an ego driven topics of the day the suggestion is to begin to privately set yourself up for success. The first step is to celebrate the wins and regret the losses. This begins with writing out 3 to 5 things at night of what you would like to accomplish the next day. That’s the commitment.

At the end of that next day reflect on the goals you accomplished and celebrate yourself by noticing how it feels. (yes, feelings can be the celebration!) For the ones you didn’t do pause and consider what you did do. Afterall life is spontaneous and there is more than one choice in any moment. So what did you do? Hold both regret and celebration for not meeting a goal but recognizing the unintended one. Pulling back this veil is the only way one can tap into what is meaningful making recognition of choices in the moment easier. An attitude will emerge with increased clarity of what is more meaningful, the goal or the distraction. Staying on track will become easier. It’s all in the mindset and shifting it for an improved way of being with self.

The bonus is that this pattern shifts habits and soon getting up in the morning is easier and brighter. It’s all in the intention. Intention creates motivation. So include an inner commitment to connect to self for integrating change from the inside out. Balance out the extroverted broadcasting that becomes the pedestal that can cause mental, emotional and physical crashes.

Full Moon in Sagittarius at 12:12 pm – June 5th

 

  • Life Area governed by Sagittarius:

Education, Growth

  • Body Parts governed by Sagittarius:
Hips, Thighs, Pelvis, Arteries

 


As the moon journeys through Sagittarius it’s energy reflects taking risks on instinct.ย  This is the sign of many visionary pioneers.ย  Sag is a mutable fire sign that generatesย  a comfortableness (mutability)ย  with change (fire).

This full moon’s traditional name is strawberry moon and it takes place during a Lunar eclipse.ย  Many are predicting a time of radical change as the moon experiences it’s shadow side while travelling through the Earth’s shadow.

Today is a power day for intentions.ย  It has the strongest energy for aligning with the change you are seeking.ย  Today’s full moon is a milestone for the goals you have been considering since the last new moon whether consciously or unconsciously.ย  Did you know all your thoughts, hope and dreams are actions of intentions regardless of being self-empowering or self-depreciating?

What have you been thinking and hoping for these past days?

A practical way to cultivate balance for a happier & possibly more beautiful life

Creating life balance consciously put’s you in the drivers seat.ย  ย Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, author of Nonviolent Communication, broke down the conditions that creates a lack of power in ones world.ย  One of these conditions is giving authority over to some unseen source.ย  Giving one’s power away disconnects one from their inner support and experiencing joy and happiness in life itself.

This workbook is the start to harnessing your focus and aiming it at the parts that make up your life.ย  In this model there are nine life areas to bring focus to equally forย  balance and harmony.ย  This exercise replaces the stories one tells themselves with checking in to explore intention for creating choices.

Remaining in the stories increases their hold that nurtures hopelessness and futility.ย  Stopping to define the life you want to create brings hope and anticipation.

This practical life exercise can be applied to personal transformation and adapted into family life, and businesses.ย  Imagine how this template focus canย  cultivate a deeper connection and experience to the things that really matter.ย  The things that bring success, joy and harmony.ย  For example:

A mom pausing to center and consciously define her current focus while considering if it is meeting her needs.ย  What areas can shift her attention to balance out the life energy that may be dominated by one or two areas?

Awareness is the doorway to personal transformation.

Her second step is to consider her families experience separately from the first step.ย  The first step is focused upon personal transformation.ย  ย Yes your are reading this correctly.ย  Her personal needs are separate from her whole family needs.ย  If she is not taking care of herself, her family will not thrive.ย  Interdependence is an important role model for children.ย  This doesn’t translate intoย  selfishness, rather it decreases it.ย  As sheย  lays this template over the current family experience theย  areas not receiving equal attention can be tweaked from her growing awarenessย  ofย  differences between what is currently happening and her inner definition of family and home life.

Another example is in the work place.ย  This is a model that could bring employees and employers into alignment with the values of the company.ย  To begin it would be an individual exercise of reflecting on ones own needs for each area and then once again to reflect on how they are contributing to the companies nine life areas.ย  ย Some sample questions equally important for the employer and employee are:

Employees

Are they contributing to their own needs for fame at the expense of co-workers and the business themselves?

Are they meeting their needs for financial wages only while not interested in this job as a career?ย  If so, how is this contributing to the moral and shared values of the company?

Business Owner

Is the employer interested in a healthy work space that influences the mental, emotional and physical health of the employees? This question would require a reflection of ALL nine life areas as each one pertains to overall functional health of a business.

Healthy employees, healthy business.
