When feeding the body, the soul, and the mind you must constantly empower all three for peace of mind and certain longevity. All three require a food to be fed; each has a muscle to be exercised and each requires a dedication to the process.
I have decided to commit myself to a thirty-day program of healing, in order to right side my emotions, rebuild my body, and recommit to achieve my personal goals. I am off center and not at my best. I am vulnerable, drowning in a sea of disappointment and expectations. I feel bruised as if I had fallen from my chair. I need to stand up and brush myself off. Have the courage to honor the source and value of my mind, my body, and my spirit. I want to be an inspiration to myself and in turn an inspiration to others.
Leading by example is my goal.
My passion for life requires me to live a balanced life. I cannot allow too many toxic thoughts, foods, or fears to weigh my body and mind down. The abundance of toxic energies in a modern lifestyle can cause the body, mind, and soul to become depleted. Finding the balance in your personal actions that reinforce your usage of your energy is the solution and the key to a calm, successful and serene life. I need to allow myself to have healing time, time to release the trauma I have been carrying, for far too long. It is time to lighten my load, I require only carry-on, no luggage.
Living in a constant state of fear is the surest way to deplete your mind and body. With the political climate of division and hate, the stress level of the common American is one of being extremely high. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest, I would say a 7 to 9 seems to be the average rating of individual’s anxiety. I am living at a rate below a 5. Having known this deeper sense of peace, the junkie personality that I have wants more. I want more peace.
I have experienced speaking to friends and family, finding they are living in a constant state of angst, just waiting for the next shoe to drop. National disasters, protests in the streets and daily demonstrations of political misuse of power, have contributed to the uneasiness or a strong sense of unrest. To get through times like these, it takes personal discipline of the mind, body, and spirit/soul. It takes you surrendering to the depth of your earthly job, effective self-care.
It is a large thank you note to the universe.
I have decided to cleanse my spirit, feed my body to gain ten to fifteen pounds, possibly twenty pounds in a thirty day period. It is a time of cleansing, reframing and reinventing. I am expecting myself to learn new habits of living and being. I am opening the windows and cleaning my closet. It is time to kick it up a notch and create a stronger foundation. I need to create a deeper sense of security within myself. I need to expand and deepen my rituals of living in order to have a transformational journey of empowerment, a gift I wish to give myself.
I am going to allow myself to become more intimate with myself in a more supportive way to develop emotional endurance, acquiring a more authentic experience of myself. In doing so, I will allow me the skills to become more intimate with so many others outside of myself. I will stand in acceptance and be satisfied with the outcome and whatever I accomplish. I will try not to hold on to judgment because I want to embrace my state of becoming.
The life span of this country is in jeopardy, as well as the life span of each individual of this country. We are at a crossroad, a transition of incredible change. We are at a junction of sink or swim and hopefully, we will be able to make it back to the shore. History has repeated itself, as it does, in a matter that begs the question of “what are we willing to do to improve your personal and political life?”
The political has become personal.
We as a people and a nation have come to the door of a portal, crowded with answers for change. We need unification as a means of healing. We need to withdraw our egos to win the war of the mind and heart. We have to begin again with open minds, hearts, and spirits and begin to remember the pathway to blend into a community of compassionate healing. We have to take it from the personal and become political in every aspect of our living modern day lives. We have to become aware, responsible, proactive people to thrive in our modern society.
We are in a state of becoming more than we were yesterday and even more today.
In the state of my becoming, I stay open to change. I stand in trust, being organically present in the moment, living in the art of solution. I claim the law of love as my divine right and use it in faith and not fear. I practice rituals of renewal and I take steps leading to a solution that honors the human species and our planet. I take steps to stay conscious and awake, on a daily basis.
If I empower myself I begin the process of igniting the alchemy of change that empowers the world.
I am dedicated to the process of being love in action.
