INNER PEACE Practice: Being FULLY Present

August 24th, 2008

INNER PEACE happens in the present moment.

Most people spend their time fretting about the past OR worrying about the future. Do you know anyone like this?

We live in a fast-paced world, and the concept of slowing down and appreciating each moment may seem like a waste of time.

However, it is in the present moment where you find true INNER PEACE, fulfillment and joy.

INNER PEACE CHALLENGE: Take ONE WEEK and consciously PRACTICE living in the present moment. It’ll change your life.

There is so much to notice in the NOW. Colors, shapes, textures, sound, feelings, emotions, beauty, love and all the miracles of life.

When you are with someone, “be with” them fully without thinking about what you’ll say next, or what you’ll do tomorrow. BE present. Listen to their words AND to what is behind the words. What else can you notice when you are present to the moment?

There are numerous places to “practice” living in the present moment – in your relationships, with your boss or employees, while making love (what a concept, eh?), during a workout, eating a meal, taking a shower, watching a sunset, with your children, and even the clerk at the grocery store.

And, as you spend more time “being present” to the NOW, you’ll naturally feel a greater sense of fulfillment.

Adopt-an-Emotional Muscle: COMPASSION

August 17th, 2008

How can you respond “at the highest energetic level” when someone is frustrating you? Hurting you? Being difficult or pissing you off?

The answer is….with “compassion.”

That is, of course, if you value your inner peace.

Compassion means “understanding” and “accepting” where another person is emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually. With greater understanding and acceptance comes greater tolerance.

It does NOT mean you love, approve or want to encourage their behavior.

EMPOWERING BELIEF: “People do the best they can with the resources they have.”

That simple belief helps me breed “compassion” with the most challenging individuals.

Generally speaking, people aren’t walking around all day trying to torment you. They’re too busy focusing on their own challenges, living their lives and trying to perform at the best of their abilities. Continue reading »

Inner Peace and PMS

August 11th, 2008

What? Inner Peace and PMS!!!

Those two sets of words and letters don’t typically go together!!

For nearly my entire life, I’ve flat out denied the phenomena of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. Or shall we just call it, the beloved (or is it wretched) PMS?

For decades, I colluded with the male population saying, “It’s simply in women’s heads.”

Wasn’t it?

Surely any woman with a little grit and self-discipline could “mind over matter” this monthly disruption of hormones. No big deal. Right?

HA!!

More than minimizing the disruptive PMS experiences of other women, I DENIED it in myself. After all, who wants to admit that you’re even temporarily insane for a day or two each month? Who enjoys admitting to the moments where you want to scream at the top of your lungs or crawl under a rock to die?

Who wants to admit that every worldly demand is magnified by a factor of 100 and compounded together into an illogical, emotional mush-pile? And, who wants to admit that an invisible set of hormones is hijacking your body, imploding it with gut-wrenching pain and a massive deflation of productive energy?

Certainly, not I.

Perhaps, I’m not alone. Continue reading »
