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

Creating life balance consciously put’s you in the drivers seat.   Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, author of Nonviolent Communication, broke down the conditions that creates a lack of power in ones world.  One of these conditions is giving authority over to some unseen source.  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.  In this model there are nine life areas to bring focus to equally for  balance and harmony.  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.  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.  Imagine how this template focus can  cultivate a deeper connection and experience to the things that really matter.  The things that bring success, joy and harmony.  For example:

A mom pausing to center and consciously define her current focus while considering if it is meeting her needs.  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.  The first step is focused upon personal transformation.   Yes your are reading this correctly.  Her personal needs are separate from her whole family needs.  If she is not taking care of herself, her family will not thrive.  Interdependence is an important role model for children.  This doesn’t translate into  selfishness, rather it decreases it.  As she  lays this template over the current family experience the  areas not receiving equal attention can be tweaked from her growing awareness  of  differences between what is currently happening and her inner definition of family and home life.

Another example is in the work place.  This is a model that could bring employees and employers into alignment with the values of the company.  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.   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?  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.

Desk Wealth Corner

by Renee Lindstrom, GCFP @ Inside Awareness

This desk corner is about abundance. Abundance in finances, investments, and resources.  For me it also represents abundance in the quality of experiencing life and relationships that includes the cycle of giving and receiving.  An example is the balance of giving and taking.    If wealth is from natural resources the question to consider is in the equal contribution back to restore and maintain balance and the quality of  nature and the environment.  In other words, is only taking and not  giving back?

3 Wealth Corner Tips:

  1. Declutter and open up space in this corner
  2. Add blue, purple, and red colours
  3. Add objects reflecting moving water such as fish (3), picture,  or fountain

Communication retraining the brain

In Cultivating Awareness foundational for experiential learning one will read about the similarities and differences between Renee’s educational programs and a Mindfulness Mediation Practice.

The focus of this article is on cultivating awareness to retrain the brain and balance used of left and right sides of the brain that Renee encourages her students to learn in the process of becoming self-directed and connected to what and how they are speaking.

The importance of a particular practice of identifying types of  thoughts became relevant when a student came back to class and shared their life changing self-awareness experience.  They discovered that they compare themselves and others while making critical moral judgments based upon their filter of jealousy. By slowing down to observe these patterns, this recognition can shift and transform their experience. The types of thoughts we address are in the following illustration.

In this diagram a maze is in the area of the fore-brain that depicts the essence of figuring it out and hitting walls until one finds their way forward. This can be complex and draining process.

In the following diagram a larger spiral leading directly into the center point is shown in the fore-brain area that demonstrates the ease in which cultivated awareness through communication can mirror.  This cultivation is not unlike the growing ability to focus ones attention as they would in a sitting mediation.  It is a different focus, pattern and foundation that one would practice that would include more of ones whole functional ability than the limiting thought process shown in the above diagram.

Cultivating Awareness foundational for retraining the brain

Each of the these experiential learning opportunities share the same objectives of  cultivating awareness and focusing attention.

Another thing in common they have is that they are inclusive of the four aspects of the human condition and function:  mental, emotional, physical and belief systems.  These components are not isolated as separate functions as in other wellness styles.  In each of these functional events there is an education aspect that includes a mindful pattern cultivating expanded focus.

Here is a way of cultivating awareness through a pattern one may be familiar with:

Mindfulness Meditation

Change through Cultivating Awareness
  • 3 Steps to Mindful Meditation to Cultivate Awareness

Step – Begins with a foundation

Mat, Cushion, Posture

Step – Then a focus point

Breath

#3 – Followed by a pattern

Observe your thoughts & environment while following your breath

Improving the ability to notice, discover new connections, refine self-use, and integrate your new skills through the experiential learning techniques anyone can integrate the skills and action steps that creates a ‘being in the moment experience‘ like in a dedicated  meditative practice.
