Issue #12Create Daily Miracles If you are like most people, you have some ups and downs and lots of middles. Life may have lost its joy and wonder, but you still manage to have a little fun. This is NOT the way life is supposed to be. Life is extremely precious and full of daily miracles. Most people only realize this upon their death bed. Don't let your life slip away like this. To create daily miracles, you need to be 3 things:
1. BE PRESENT When you stop worrying about what has happened in your past and stop fearing an unknown future, you can start paying attention to what is going on around you in the here and now. You can be present to life. The best way that I have found to be present to life is to practice body mindfulness. Start meditating twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I like to meditate for 10-20 minutes. Learn to do body scans. Learn what different emotions feel like in your body. Breathe. Breathe deeply. Stop and notice how you are sitting as you read this message. How does your body feel? Do you have any tight spots? Any areas where you can't feel anything? How is your breathing? Once we break free from the destructive cultural teaching that our bodies are only there to carry our brains around, we can use our bodies as a tool to be present and stay grounded. Remember, you can only be where your feet are. 2. BE POSITIVE Focus on what you want in life. Focus on what is working in your life. If you perceive a problem or challenge in your life, ask yourself where this problem is missing. In other words, if you are learning to ski and you keep focusing on the trees, you will inevitably hit a tree. Focus on the open space. Pay attention to what makes you happy. What brings you joy? What gives you energy? There is no right or wrong here. We have been trained to struggle and strive. We have been conditioned to compete for scarce resources. These are lies that we have been fed. Wake up and notice the beauty and abundance of nature. Notice the laughter and play of young children. There is no scarcity of love or joy. There is no scarcity of energy. And money is energy. Money and happiness can be abundant if you choose. 3. BE CREATIVE You are a powerful creator. You create through your thoughts and feelings. Whatever you think about and give your energy to, you will draw into your life. So, what are you creating? Do you spend most of your time focusing on the good things in your life and the bright future that you are excited to create? Or do you worry about the small stuff? Do you worry about not enough money or illness or a bad relationship? Too many of us have been schooled to be victims. We got good at sitting still, staying quiet and learning to give the teacher the right answer. That way, we got the A+ and felt good about ourselves. But, we also gave away our power to an outside authority who has no real authority over us. Now, we live our lives this way. Looking to others for approval. Blaming others when things go wrong. Unhappy. Unfocused. Consuming our way through life. When our real purpose is to create. Look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I am in charge here!" Create a miracle a day by choosing only good for yourself and staying present to what is precious and amazing in your life. In each moment of your day, you have the opportunity to check in with yourself and ask: am I present, positive, and creative? I will be sharing detailed practices on how to Create Daily Miracles in 2008 ezines. And after a sabatical to care for my baby daughter, I am getting back into teaching and coaching.
