The only thing we can be sure of is change! So make 2019 the year you embrace and accept change! @boldbizcoach But with that change comes the need to make great decisions

It’s amazing how meditation is truly a gift to life. Somehow it allows the “mind to breath”. It is a time when you rest your mind from the continuous exhaustive exercise of judgement that we put so much energy into. In other words, it allows “us to go within” as Pema Chodron advises. @boldbizcoach
Remember the chatter in your head is just that – it’s CHATTER. When your thoughts are filled with negative emotion like hate, anger, jealousy or something in that family, that is an Ego trap. That is not your Heart or true spirit speaking – rather it is the selfish ego that is not you! it is layer very dark and typically confuses and distracts from your true spirit? Acknowledge it and shift to the light with more positive emotions. Trust me -the shift is real. @boldbizcoach
When a major decision in your life needs to be made look within.
There are times in our lives that give us the opportunity to turn to the light or turn to the dark. This is typically when we are sick or we receive horrible news of any kind. Each of those moments provide a time to step up to the challenge. There are times where we can be a hero or we can be a horrible human. It is those moments of deep sadness or deeper pain that can turns bad actions with worse intentions into something horrific. Keep in mind that going into the dark, results in horrific feelings for the victim and the instigator. All jokes aside, the folklore we hear from our ancestors are often filled with truth to it. It is similar to what we see in horror movies and fairy tales. It is the demonic queen jealous of the young girl (yes, the patrichary but you get my point I hope) or you are Maui’s fear of change that Moana with hardwork overcame. For those of you without children, basically a young girl follows her heart (chakra) and saves the island or the island mother I should say.
Let’s go back to what happens after the moment occurs. What is your first reaction to his news? To feel sorry for yourself and dive into the dark? To have a conversation in your head that says this is nightmare and why is this happening to me? Keep in mind when I say darkness, I mean out of the mind or mindlessness or not failing into the trap of negative emotions (jealousy, hate or anger).
Why are we moving so fast?
We are moving at the pace of the digital age. We can’t wait 2 mins for something to buffer before we grow impatient? Bravo Pico Iyer on #superSoulSunday.
Another great quote I heard was “we get up and rush and then do it again. But who is telling you to do that? That was when my paradigm shift occurred. Why am I rushing? Why do I have such a compulsion go get more done during the day. It was so bad I remember coworkers were like slow down there is no rush. I dismissed it all – my ego – I can prove them wrong or the worse one “why is this happening to me”?
The latest NBC news headlines states that in the U.S., at least three of every four people now own a smartphone. And one estimate suggests that Americans touch their mobile devices more than 2,600 times a day on average. But are all those pings and buzzes, scrolls and swipes worrisome for health and society? My dears. Life isn’t happening to you, you need to participate. If you are focused on the wrong things: filling your brain with dead and old stories of the hurts from the past or thinking in lack and scarcity all the time – only you can stop the old patterns. What a powerful thing. Refuse to give energy to old stories and past hurts.
When you need to make a critical decision first stop and think.
As noted by author Joseph Emet’s Bhuddha Book of Meditation asks are you BrainFul or Mindful? Focus only on the things that matter to you and dump the rest. Treat your brain like real estate! Yes, space in your mind is valuable. Be aware of how your brain is driving your behavior. How are you feeding your mind? Ram Dass said ‘the quieter you become the more you hear”
Yes the world is yours when you take back control and check the conversation in your head. @boldbizcoach #supersoulSunday #mindset #mindful #forgiveness #newyear2019
Our Purpose
Our purpose in my mind, is to aligns with what I believe is our mission, to find what we love and do what we do best – your gift to the world. This means literally look up at the higher vision of life. Look up for the light as it is the only thing that will take out the darkness. of For Moana that was teaching her people (as the future Queen) to open their mind (or third eye) and see that their spirit and heritage are people that travel and live freely and bravely. This gives me goose bumps as I speak it.
It is when we are very trying to make a decision or when a choice must be made, we are often left feeling very uncomfortable or fearful. This is the time to Stop, Pause and Reflect. Move in closer to your heart and ask a question. Does my heart, mind and body align? Then YES push through your thoughts and take action. Push through all of it to AND make the first step, the rest will be easy. And then the world is yours. #mindset #loveandlight #jaiGaneshJi #mindfulness #goSlowtogoFAST@boldbizcoach #supersoulsunday
Be aware of how your brain is driving your behavior. How are you feeding your mind?
