D.I.Y. Therapy: What Makes Your Heart Sing?

Once we discover our heart song life becomes simpler, easier, happier, balanced, beautiful.

heartFor me my heartsong is not one particular thing. It’s my whole life! It’s when I pursue my goals, treat others, create friendships and self-care with intent that resonates with me. It’s when my emotions, thoughts and actions are created with harmony. My heartsong is when I feel okay even as stress has clouded my vision and I’m not quite sure what to do, but know that whatever I choose it must make my heart sing.

If you’re not sure how to find your heart song answer the questions below and really LISTEN to your answers. Once you know what your heart song is, stick with it. Practice “singing” your heart song. Turn this practice into habits. Eventually your life will revolve around these habits and create a ripple effect of your truest self.

1) What makes your heart sing? 

2) Where do you feel balance in your daily life?

3) What thoughts lead you to healthy decisions?

4) How are your actions creating a life that feels good?

Todays inspiration is from words by a woman I admire, Blanca Vergara.

It is a process. Be patient and caring for yourself. Try different methods and once you find the one that makes your heart sing, keep using it. Be persistent. You will see that connecting within will give you the coherence that will allow you to thrive in the outer complexity.” Read the whole article, Blancavergara.com/from-chaos-to-coherence/

D.I.Y. Therapy: “Paralyzed with Indecision” – Short Video on Solving Overhwelming Problems

Do you ever feel paralyzed with indecision or fear? I certainly do! That’s why I like this method of getting clarity by removing what you don’t want from the situation presented by Blanca Vergara in the video below.

I can easily get paralyzed in overwhelming situations or when I’m feeling stressed out. Removing stuff from life that is comfortable is hard. Sometimes we keep stuff, actions or thoughts in our lives that are unhealthy, but we are either so used to it that we don’t notice or we are too scared to move forward.

I’m guilty of doing both and I know it’s hard, but we are all capable of change. Think of everything you’ve ever changed in your life, you stopped believing in Santa Claus, you (hopefully) learned to stand up against peer pressure, you learned better ways to succeed at work, you probably changed your style a few times since you were young and on and on. It’s okay to be scared and to hesitate, but to really live you need to teach yourself through practice how to move forward, let go and grow. How do you do this?

Once you realize that something or someone in your life is not what you want then it’s time to let go. If you’re unsure about something than take a break from it or them and see if your life gets better or not.  If you feel happier, and healthier than leave it there in your memories, but don’t take it forward with you in life. If you don’t feel better than you know to keep it. It’s simple, but not easy.

If you get as attached to people and things as I do than letting go is extremely hard. Over the years I’ve had to let go of friendships that I either outgrew or were unhealthy, removed foods that I loved like cheese and a lot of sugar because I felt ill after eating it, and trained my mind to overcome negative thoughts because those were keeping me depressed

Along the way I trip and fumble, but when I stay away from that which makes me feel bad I not only feel better, I am more focused, more compassionate and more aware of what is truly important to me.

So what is important to you?

For me, what’s important is living with love and compassion as well as innovation and action. I’m more into experiences and being with people who inspire me than material items. Each of us know what’s important and it is different for everyone. As you go through your life carry only what is important to you. Leave what isn’t out of your bag.

Empowering Discussions

Oh Blanca!

Blanca Vergara is one of my favorite entrepreneurs. She focuses on the “heart centered” economy instead of one based on greed and power. If you are just getting by and want to replace that with passion for your business this blog is for you.

She is an entrepreneur, author speaker and mom. She holds an MBA, is a certified coach and is fluent in English, Spanish and Dutch. She quit her high paying position at a global company to create a career where her focus is to first be happy and second create profit. This is exactly the kind of attitude that has helped me realize that my true career is writing, art and empowering others.  If you want a business that is full of honesty, authenticity, transparency, integrity and empathy check her out and subscribe to her blog. I hope you get as much from Blanca as I have. She has a lot of knowledge to share.

She has joined the 500 Blog-Raiser Challenge to empower young women with her post, http://www.blancavergara.com/morethanjustagirl/ Please stop by and leave her a thank you comment for empowering young women.
