Fresh Approach

Have you been feeling lately like you’re a little bit stuck on the rat wheel and you’re not sure how to get off?

This month you are being encouraged to take a new approach with your life. 

You have the entire Universe within you.

Sound dramatic? Crazy? Nonsensical?

Think about it for a minute…

You were created from the tiniest speck of life.

So small that you couldn’t even be seen with the naked eye.

Then you grew, unsupervised, until you entered into this world.

You arrived, a literal miracle in human form.

And yet you find it hard to believe that the Universe exists within you?

It’s time to think again.

There is a raw, untamed wisdom that traverses the cells of your body every single day and all you need to do is connect in with it and trust it.

How hard can it be?

Well, truthfully, sometimes it can feel really hard.

Because the systems and structures of the world have you so wound up that you can’t hear yourself think.

But when you take some time in stillness, preferably in nature, slowly but surely the wisdom of the old – the ancestors, the Universal guidance – begins to make its way into your conscious mind. 

From here, what you do with it is up to you.

Do you dismiss it as nonsense? An unrealistic thought…a mere dream…

Or do you stand to attention, and commit to yourself that today is the day you are going to start thinking differently about your life?

Because we all come up against struggles and roadblocks – that’s part of entering into the interactive board game called life.

How you choose to navigate those struggles, however, is entirely up to you.

Let’s pretend, just for today, that you loved every single aspect of your life. 

Even those things that you really don’t love.

What would it feel like to believe you loved it all, that you chose it for yourself, and that you’re so glad you did?

1. You would start to feel a greater sense of relief and peace in your life;

2. You’d stop beating yourself up about past choices you didn’t have the courage to make;

3. You’d feel more empowered and more confident to make new choices that would bring even greater joy into your life.

Because that’s how gratitude and perspective works.

When you’re stuck in a loop of thinking that you have no control over your life you’ll keep experiencing that along with all the self deprecating thoughts that accompany it.

Instead, when you choose to approach your life with a sense of power and appreciation you start to see the opportunities around you, and you have the confidence to step towards them, despite the perceived risks. 

Remembering that the entire power, force, magic and grace of the Universe resides within you – why not take a chance?

See what a fresh approach can bring into your life this month.

With lots of love xx
