In the spirit of these thought I am making plans and goals to live my life with more intentions, and keeping this in mind I think that journey will be a bit easier.

I got 99 problems but this moment ain’t one

Such wonderful, wonderful words from Jess Lively.

Very inspiring and so true. We really have to be thankful for all our moments, with or without problems and train ourselves to recognize true "problems" in life. That way we can avoid spending our time, energy and focus on wrong things, false problems and be more focused on positive, truly important things in life.

These words are from her post about a book The Power of Now. You should check out her blog, she is an inspiring writer and enterprenuer.  Her work is already well know in the comunity and well respected as well. She also writes for TDL, I actually find her through her post there and followed links to her amazing blog.

 

Love,

Calm.com / meditation in your pocket

A Shower of Blessings

Few days ago I found a recommendation (somewhere online) for Calm.com app, and of course downloaded it right away. I have just had the opportunity this morning to try it out.

Although exercises or better said sessions are for more relaxed times and spaces than walking down the street to work, but I couldn`t resist.

While going to work this morning I was overwhelmed by a negative sensation of aggravation and anxiety so I turned the app on and just let go to the soothing voice of the lady doing the session and wonderful meditation music.

Even though it would be ideal to enjoy these sessions at home, listening this really helped me to become calm and to let go of that knot in my stomach.

These are some of the themes available in the app, each has its own theme song, made by Kip Mazuy (see the link at the beginning of this post).

You can choose to go through sessions on your own or to be guided. Also you can choose between different sessions by emotion, or to say it more correctly goal or focus.

Some sessions are free but most of them are paid.

One of first and free sessions is the one called "7 steps of Calm". You can discover the simple truth behind becoming calm throught 7 sessions of relaxation from 2 to 30 minutes - for whenever you need to calm and center yourself or if you just need a break from your busy day.

I have never thought that I would even consider using an app for something like this. To be totally honest I never thought I would meditate either. Ever!

But I am glad I have discovered this app, not because it made me a yogi, or a master of meditation but because it showed me that I could use meditation, relaxing this way and becoming more centered and aware of my being.

Also, it made me want to learn more about this subject. Now I have a will and wish to be introduced in real secrets and knowledge of meditation and becoming one with myself.

I have to admit, I have always been skeptic of meditation and yoga, I have tried it on occasion of two but never stuck to it because it was "to slow". Apparently my imbalance and inner chaos never allowed me to even start finding and discovering what I needed. Now I feel it is the time. Perfect time.

If you have suggestion, advice or just anything to share, please do.

I would be happy to listen and learn.

Have a nice day.

Love,

Agyness

TDL: the daily love

TDL/The daily love is a website that spreads so much love, positive thinking and inspires people in words that cannot do it justice. So I need to share this. I`ve been reading slowly and enjoying every post word by word, being inspired by authors and community members with their comments.

The article that inspired me today was the one about how to find and communicate with a higher self. I can say I know nothing about the subject, and I was so amazed and inspired with readers comments below the post, just couldn`t stop reading. I even took a note of a book recommended in comments, looked it up in my library, and plan to pick it up when going home from work. The book is called The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron.

Another great article from TDL, is one from Mastin Kipp about fears and how we need to overcome them, take charge and do what we want and dream of right now! The time is perfect. We all have fears, small or big, scary or just annoying, we all tend to get overwhelmed by them from time to time. They tend to slow us or totally

incapacitate people in pursuing their hopes and dreams. I am often bound by my fears of doing some changes in my life mainly regarding my work. I am so miserable doing what I am doing now and when finally an opportunity presents I tend to be all negative about why should they hire me, although I am qualified for the job, or I just start constructing irrational reasons why taking this job wouldn`t pay out in the end.

Recently I have decided that I am done with that kind of thinking and approaching to life. I got only one to live and I fully intend to live the rest of it much happier. I know I am only 30 now, but panta rei and you never know when your number is up. Such a gloomy thought but it is true. So, to make the best of it from now on I go by one true and simple premise -  YOLO!

Changing, or better to say – adjusting my mindset to positive thinking can be very challenging at times. I get caught up in “reality” thoughts and stumble at times, but in the end because I truly believe that positive approach can change my life for better I adjust this “reality” to be more positive and inspiring.

Another article regarding fears that sometimes paralyzes us in living our dreams and how to change that point of view for better and more fearless is this one written by Christine Hassler.

“What If It Was All Made Up?” is the main premise of her article and she explains the crucial difference between real (much needed in some situations) and fake fear and how to recognize them. Empowering and inspiring, the article is just the right one I needed to boost me today. Why? Because today I went for THE job interview, and although it went very very well I still catch myself throughout the day thinking all those “what-ifs?!”

She made a great point on that:

We scare ourselves with questions like: What if it doesn’t work out like I want, what if I fail, what if I lose, what if I get hurt, what if I can’t handle it, what if I get rejected? Do any of these “what if” questions sound familiar to you? If they do, you are spooking yourself unnecessarily. You have absolutely no proof that any of your “what if” questions are accurate because you are just making it all up!

Boosted by their positive ness and love they share I think I will share TDL wisdom more often here with you.

Thank you note

source

While thinking about the title of this post, so many thoughts went through my head, twirlling around inside my mind, with burning desire to say all at one. But a simple "thank you" is the one that really sums it up. I have so much to be grateful for in my life, but this post`s title goes to one thing in particular. Few weeks ago I have submitted my resume to a particular company for a very special job opening. I have been craving a change in my career for so long, but it was hard and I was becoming very negative and depressed about it. Accordingly I was considering this to be my last chance to do it. The resume was sent 18 days ago, I waited and waited for that call. A friend of mine got that same job in the same company several months ago and said that it took them about 3 weeks to call her. I was counting the days, marked that 31 Oct in red. Looking at it, when my number will be up! On another note, a different friend, my sensei, she was trying to teach me some secrets to The Secret.

"Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts."

At first I was a bit skeptical and scared. Scared of what was really going to happen with that job and I was worried if I was to eager in wishing it that I will be very disappointed. I never thought in a way that, what if – I got the job? Let’s not be hasty. I am not there yet but a wonderful thing happened yesterday. While reading before mentioned book The Secret, the part of asking the Universe for what you really want, the phone rang. I was reading the part where you focus on your wish and you say thanks for everything you have to acknowledge that you really do value all the blessings in your life.

"What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that..." And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area."

I am really thankful for everything I have, my life, health, my family and friends, my animals and all the “little” things that sometimes are material but make this wonderful life a bit more beautiful. Don`t get me wrong, I am not saying that material things are important in life and crucial in any matter, but I would be lying if I said different. It would be hypocritical of me to claim I only need spiritual non-material things to be happy. I do enjoy a pretty dress and amazing shoes. Playing dress-up, eating delicious fancy food or traveling. But in the end, I do realize that what is truly important in life is love. Honesty. Friendship. Positive thinking. Helping others. Being there for others and supporting them. Cherishing time with loved ones and showing them how much they mean to me. While writing all these thing down on a paper, and having my dream job in mind, they called and asked me to come for an interview. I know I am not still there but I am so happy. So grateful. And most of all so inspired. Believe that it's already yours. Have what I love to call unwavering faith. Believing in the unseen. I had nothing to lose by believing it would come true. I asked for it. And it is coming to me. Some may see this just to be a coincidence. Feel free to do so, to think so. But what is the harm of thinking and doing positive? I am not saying that I was magically served what I wanted, I am very qualified for that job, but I just made sure I vibrated on a frequency I needed to really get it.

"See the things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession." Robert Collier (1885-1950)
