Where do You find Inspiration

In the blink of an eye life seems to pass by so quickly.  One day after another turns into one year after another.

As the years pass by, doesn’t it seem like time is getting shorter and shorter?     Now days, life is happening so quick that we barely get the chance to take it all in.  Technology is advancing, the environment we live in is faster, and there never seems to be enough time for all our to do’s.

When we get caught in the pattern of feeling like there’s never enough time, we often lose touch with the things that are most important to us.  That is, the feeling of being connected to our closest relationships, our health, spirituality, and personal time to relax and rejuvenate.

So how do we stop the feelings of being overwhelmed by the constant flow of work, to do’s, and busyness of our everyday lives?

The answer comes in a famous phrase, “You cannot resolve a problem at the level in which it was created.”

That means, in order to find the connection to a deeper part of yourself you must change the state of mind your currently have.

Lets lay out some of the common traits in which most people have when we are out of touch.

• life is FAST
• anxiety is high
• tendency to feel frustrated and agitated
• generally this creates sleep deficiency “lack of sleep”
• “     “      “    bad eating habits  “not giving the body the proper energy it needs”
• Rarely/never feeling inspired

The list can go on and on.

When you look at these patterns you can see that they are creating the foundation of an ungrounded and dysfunctional life.

The first step in changing your state of mind is to take time in your day to consciously remind yourself to “SLOW DOWN”

Consciously breathing in and out throughout the day creates an entirely new experience in your mind and body.  In order to feel reconnected to your deeper senses you must create more balance in your body, thoughts, and actions.

Slowing down will be the first and most powerful shift in turning your life around.  It will open you up to gratitude and inspiration.

Taking time for yourself to rejuvenate and renew yourself is vitally important for you, your loved ones, and the people you encounter on a day-to-day basis.  Can you find a way each day to stop all that you’re doing for others and take time to just be with yourself?

I don’t mean take time to frantically run around shopping or DOING things for yourself.  I’m asking, “Can you just BE with yourself?”  Sit alone…..breath…..slow down…..and enjoy the solitude of your own presence?

When I meet with someone who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected in their life, my first focus becomes getting them to slow down.  I do that by giving them a guided meditation to slow their breath and relax their body.  This gets them back in touch with the feeling of self-love and self-value.  Once you slow your breathing and body down you will start to reconnect to a deeper sense within yourself.  This will make you feel the inspiration and  balance to focus more on what matters most in their life.

Where do you find your inspiration?
