Today is a beautiful day and I am going to have a perfect day full of vigor and enthusiasm. This is one of the affirmations I usually tell myself as I open my eyes to welcome another day. I am a great addict of positive affirmations and each day is filled with many more such affirmations. I have seen, tested, felt and experienced the magic of positive mind chatter and how it could help balance your inner and outer focus. Affirmations are what we do all the time but most of them are unconscious responses. We eat the food we desire and wear the clothes we lie. We are unconsciously manifesting our affirmations of I like to eat … and I like this dress. The real magic begins to manifest in your life when you add the nutrient of conscious awareness to your affirmations. Watch out what did you affirm unconsciously today by evaluating your behaviours and actions as well as the judgements or beliefs you hold within yourself.This is a good starting point to start a great friendship with yourself and seek your divine right to stay healthy inside out. Try it and don’t resist if you see shadow side of yourself along with your virtues because shadows are the pathways that show us the light of virtues when we create an intention to make such sacred connection. Consciously affirm what you want changed in your life by creating a positive statement of what you want to experience instead.

How Do You Approach Dilemma?
I was pondering upon the nature of dilemma and why we go through the cycles of self doubt.It made me gain so much clarity about the nature of dilemma and I could sense how our need to have clarity puts us through situations that are good lessons to claim back our true self and freedom. First of all, why do we have dilemma? A dilemma is a result of confusion. Confusion arises from the lack of clarity about what we truly value and how we are compromising those values to please others unconsciously to create a false sense of security for ourselves. Most of us have no sense of values but we live our lives in a habitual routine fashion based upon viewpoints and beliefs we borrowed from our cultures and caregivers. Approaching our life and it’s events as spiritual beings in physical bodies is a gift we can give to ourselves. It will help us reconnect with our true values that emerge from our core self.It will help ease our difficulties in any area of life since life is simple but we make it complex through how we choose to identify ourselves. Our ego’s need to protect our soft selves from harsh outer world makes us put on masks of varied sorts. Simply watch your thoughts today and see what are your motivations behind those thoughts. Are you truly speaking your truth or are you trying to get the attention of other people to feel good about yourself? Are you kind enough to accept others with their faults or are you passing judgements out of resentment and anger? Are you in complete state of harmony and living your life from that center or are you living to the whims or fancies of others around you? Are you trying to control others or are you being controlled by others? We live in a constant state of motion and watching our motivations can give us some idea about how we are choosing to live life and what is our focus. It’s good exercise to ask yourself “What do I value the most and what is the order of my values? Am I living my day in alignment of those values? It’s quite insightful to know what value we are adding to our life and to that of others.Dilemma is quite resourceful source of self knowledge and I always take it to be an eye opener that opens my perception and expand my self knowledge and makes me see what I need to let go for the good of all.
Listening to the Signals
We are always getting signals through people, situations and actions we undertake about the changes we can make to grow and expand our levels of happiness. Learning to attune to those signals need awareness and application of that awareness to filter information through different events that take place during the day. Remember how you feel when someone compliments you or criticizes you. Appreciation makes us feel good and criticism make us feel down. Feeling down is a signal about getting to know yourself better. Someone criticized you and you lost your mind to them. It is easy to feel like this but it becomes easier to live life if we begin to take more control of our emotions by attuning to them as an observer and begin to take control of how to recycle them for better world.I feel there is so much to focus on about ourselves when we we decide to go on a path of self development that is holistic, we find ourselves focusing and processing about the changes that improve our internal and external conditions. It is a constant process or I would say becomes a subconscious pattern once we are initiated into it. Initiation is a transition phase where we can find ourselves on a roller coaster ride experiencing confusion and varied emotions in our attempt to leave something we no longer want to be a part of us.
Natural rhythm of our body and mind is always at hand ready to serve us the moment we create an intention to attune to it. How much attuned are you to your natural rhythm or do you remember feeling that rhythm?
Awareness Tip of the Day
Tune to your natural rhythm by slowing down a bit and listen to the signals your body is giving about your actions that are making you feel tired and stressed. They may not be in sync with your true self.
