Change

Hope this day finds you well. I am enjoying the change of season it always causes me to reflect on the changes in life and how we must find the quiet acceptance for each and every situation that comes to us. 

I would like to share some tips on accepting life as it is in each moment. It is something that I am currently working through and I'm finding these tips to be very helpful.

• Keep a journal close by at all times
• When faced with any emotion no matter how comfortable or uncomfortable it is say to yourself..."this too shall pass". This teaches us that life is constantly changing and its important to not hold to tight to some emotions nor push away others
• If it is a "negative" emotion and its overwhelming, take a seat and close your eyes. Take 5 deep breaths and take your hands to the spot on the body where the emotion is resting (your heart, throat, back, head, stomach, etc...)
• Grab a pen and write down the experience, what does the emotion feel like, where is it resting, what thoughts are rushing through your head.
• Once you go through this process and the emotion subsides take some time and then look back at your journal entry. Look at the process that took place, see what kind of effect the emotion had on the body and how different you feel now.
• Always ALLOW...Always WATCH...Always FEEL what ever comes your way. There is a message in each and every situation and it will float to the top eventually.
