Jam-packed Life

Sometimes the juiciest thing can be an itsy bitsy occurrence that simply takes your breath away...

Not today, though!

Today was jam packed full of 'stuff'. You've had those types of days, haven't you? And the two main ways they can go is:

1. you're stressed, frazzled and frantic, or
2. you're energized, forward moving and excited

Today I chose option 2, which is really option 1 in my book, and my results were absolutely amazing.

I mean, which option provides you with results?!? And if you're using option 1, how's that working for you?

 Today, I acted as if this was the last day of my life. If this was the last day for you, what would you do differently... What if we all truly lived like Don Juan (oh yeah), who purportedly lived with the vision that death loomed over his left shoulder - check out this quote:

“(The warrior) knows his death is stalking him and won’t give him time to cling to anything… And thus with an awareness of his death,… and with the power of his decisions a warrior sets his life in a strategic manner… and what he chooses is always strategically the best; and so he performs everything he has to with gusto and lusty efficiency!

Oh to live each day with gusto and lusty efficiency... Think I'll give it a shot.

Impactfully yours,
Julie

Ps: here's a nice link on some more of Don Juan's warrior philosophy - interesting.

Ain't Nothin Bigger...

Dear reader- today was a juicy day for me, full of activities and events designed to (shall we say) put my flexible 'and game' to the test... You've been there, you know what I mean!  

And the juiciest moment of all came when I was irritated with a social worker at the lockdown psych ward where my severely bipolar brother, John is currently housed.

Instead of getting in her face, which is what my ego would have had me do, I intentionally and instantly shifted and thanked her for all that she does for my brother. In addition, I shared that I could never do what she does, and that I would probably be one of those statistical suicides prevalent in her profession (said somewhat tongue-in-cheek -- she loved it). Once the ice was thus broken, my anger was dissipated, she was open and I do believe my brother will get some more attention (not to mention some prescription glasses and dental care he has sorely needed for some time).

I think I am beginning to own the new me that others keep talking about, and that's super juicy!

Bring it on (ain't nothin' bigger than You or Me)!!

The mind ~ an iceberg?

Well, even though I had read/heard/thought/practiced… this concept before, it really hit home this time - and here’s how Joan put it (paraphrased rather imperfectly, however you will catch the drift) - I want to share this with you….

About behavior:
5% is controlled by the conscious mind
95% is controlled by the subconscious mind
The subconscious mind

1. Is easily influenced - it does not distinguish between what’s real and what’s imagined
2. Only knows one word, and that’s “OK” - so, if you wake up in the morning and think or say, “I’m tired”, your subconscious mind will say, “OK” - if you wake up and think or say “I’m excited!!!” your subconscious mind will say, “OK”.

    WOW!!! How cool is that? I will do that tomorrow morning and let you know how it goes… and where else can I/we apply this in our lives??

Here’s a nifty article I found that expands on this: http://www.hypnos.co.uk/hypnomag/bobrules.htm

So, what’s juicy about all this?

OMG - I am so excited... Do you know what this means? I am so going to focus more energy on my subconscious mind even for little things now. I have already started in some fundamental ways, and will keep you posted…

Spontaneously Manifesting,
Julie

Intention and the Universe

Dear Readers - the last couple of days have been a blur of activity - do you know what I mean? Can you relate?
Remember that song
“Suddenly Last Summer”?
2 of the lines in the song are:
One summer never ends
One summer never begins
This feels like a summer, almost over, that practically never began, it’s going so fast, if you follow me…

So, what’s been juicy these past couple of daze?

1. having my wonderful husband to take care of - he is bedridden, you know - I kind of like him that way… :)
2. getting into the swing of my post-breakthrough life - wow! I don’t know about you, however leaving behind that limiting belief (mine was abandonment) has been very interesting, to say the least. My particular experience has been less than monumental from an event standpoint - I don’t know what I was expecting - perhaps fireworks, a lightning bolt or at least a bit of a struggle getting through - you know what I mean? And yet, it was FAST, FUN AND EASY - how cool is that? I think I’ll accept that from the Universe any day of the week.

And so, what’s juicy? Here it is:

My buddy and I decided that we would get out of our own way and allow the Universe to deliver the solution without us having to design the “how". Is that cool, or what? Just put your intention out there, visualize the end result you desire, get into action and let the Universe provide. As yesterday’s message from the Universe said:

Don't delay!! This is the time to invite fate, tempt passion,
and expect miracles by dreaming big and taking nonstop action!!

Globally yours,
Julie
