AlissaAnd we’re back at it again with the tidbits of wisdom! I love sharing these posts because with 40 different inspirational sentences, I hope at least one will resonate and stick with you. I have to say, this might be my favorite list yet.
I also have to confess, this is the first time I’ve ever been “late” sharing my Monday blog post. AKA sharing it at like 11:00am instead of 7:00am.
Ha! So crazy, I know.
I just get so stuck on this idea of consistency and needing things to be a certain way. So, I’m practicing this thing called letting go and allowing myself to rest and slow down when needed.
We had an amazing weekend this past weekend putting on our third annual Boyer Invitational. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a blast. It couldn’t have been better!
Coming off of that, though, I’m exhausted. Even with a nap yesterday and early bedtime last night, my body is just begging for rest. I’m trying to make a change and get better about listening to that. More on this subject later!
Enjoy the bits of wisdom below!
- THIS is your life. What’s happening now is your life. The way things are is your life. Not what you expect in your head. Not what you’re wishing for. Open your eyes. Your life is how it is right now.
- Here I am in this sacred, precious, present moment. What shall I do with it?
- Planning is okay, but on the 17th time of playing a scenario out in your head, ask yourself “is this useful?” – Dan Harris, 10% Happier podcast
- Stress stops the natural spontaneity of the universe in your life. -Deepak Chopra
- Allow the universe to release you from emotional turbulence. -Deepak Chopra
- Non-attachment: not attached to keeping things the way they were or keeping them from becoming what they will. It means diving into what you’re experiencing fully without attachment to hope or fear. When you feel joy, you just completely feel it without thinking “what does this mean or when will it end?”
- To ride through the difficulties of life together. “Now it’s beautiful, now it’s not. Now you seem to love me, now I love you, now we want to be together, now we don’t. Riding through that together. That’s a companion.” -Susan Piver
- Pay attention to what you’re attached to, which causes suffering. And what you have aversion to, which causes suffering. Lean into your aversions. Release your attachments. And you will find peace.
- My attention activates my desires. What I pay attention to is what will show up in my life.
- You can’t think your way out of a thinkhole. More thinking leads to more thinking to more thinking.
- “You’re responsible for the energy you bring into this room.” -Brene Brown
- I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience and set the goals I will achieve. Everything that seems to happen to me, I ask for and receive as I have asked. -Deepak Chopra
- There’s always someone watching who can bless you— are you just as kind to the janitor as you are to the CEO?
- The feeling that cannot be expressed through tears will find its expression in other organs, causing them to weep.
- You make your beliefs and your beliefs make you.
- He who works his land shall have abundance
- Only a fool shares his whole heart.
- What’s for you will not pass you.
- Every day, make yourself feel something you’ve never felt before.
- Tell me what you’re envious of and it’ll tell you what you need to work on.
- Create before you consume.
- When you trust yourself, you trust the very thing that created you.
- When making a decision, ask; is this loving to me? Don’t make any decisions that won’t serve you.
- Change the lens through which you view people. Everyone has value to bring you.
- “I’m going to leap. It’s going to be messy. And that’s going to be perfect.” -Lori Harder
- You are the judge of what’s right for you and that doesn’t make anyone else wrong.
- Follow what gives you energy.
- Worrying is a prayer to chaos. -Gabrielle Bernstein
- As many of us do when something unpleasant happens, my initial reaction was why. Why did this happen to me? I am very physically active. I swim almost every day. Suddenly, I can’t use the left side of my body. It doesn’t seem fair. If only this hadn’t happened. But that’s not how life is. The concept I came back to however was amor fati – a love of fate. It’s a powerful idea of accepting everything that happens. To not push against life as it happens but make the most of it. -Robert Greene
- Centrism: mistaking what is familiar with what is true. -Robert Kegan
- Habits are the way you embody an identity. Each time you go to the gym you embody the identity of someone who is fit. Each behavior casts a vote for the type of person you want to become. -James Clear
- When the student is seeking, the teacher appears. Stay open.
- “An intimate partnership is designed to trigger each partners unresolved unconscious issue. We pick our partners very carefully who will actually trigger us in particular ways to heal what we need to heal. A relationship is working when we’re getting triggered by our partner.” -Gavin Frye on Bucci Radio
- Find a place that feels like home wherever you travel. A piece that can become familiarity, a stake in the sand.
- It’s not how a place looks. It’s about how it makes you feel.
- I would rather believe the wrong thing and be the right kind of person. -Erwin McManus
- Seek not to be known, but worth knowing. -Erwin McManus
- If you are at all introspective or reflective about life you’re going to find yourself sometimes tormented and in turmoil. -Erwin McManus
- Playing big is being more loyal to your dreams than your fears. – Tara Mohr
- Everyone human being has the same calling on earth – the assignment that an individual receives to bring light and love to the world in a particular way. Everyone has a different way of doing this. -Tara Mohr
