The Simplicity Project – Step 5

September 9, 2019 by yinster Leave a Comment

STEP 5 – Release to Receive

Turn Your Focus Inward.  You’ve done the work for the stuff in your external spaces.  Now what about your internal spaces?

In order to create more space and abundance, we need to remove the stuff so we can be ready to receive.  

You have evaluated at least one space.  You have made not on to keep, throw away, give away or store, the clutter in this space.  You have focused on your consumption and are currently working on building a strong foundation of gratitude.  Kudos for you!!!

Please keep in mind that each step doesn’t necessarily end as you move onto the next step.  It can very well be an ongoing process!  That’s okay!

This step requires some more internal examination of the role in your life that you predominately play within ONE of the spaces

you chose to evaluate. For example, in my office, the role I play is an entrepreneur/coach.

Getting specific in our visualizations creates emotion and greater chances of us manifesting what we desire and how we want to feel!

  1. Write out the role you play in that space ____________________________
  2. Visualize yourself best self in that role. Shining and at peace.
  3. What is stopping that feeling from becoming reality?
  4. What limitations are YOU putting on yourself?  What fears are causing these limiting beliefs?

Now we are heading back to Step 2…. It’s time to purge all that STUFF doesn’t serve you.  Turn inward to your intuition.  Does it feel right to  throw out, or give away or store items?   Does it lighten up the room?  Does it release the clutter?  Does it make you feel good?  

We are looking to raise our vibrations within this role that you plan in your important space.  Once we raise the vibrations of that role, all the roles in life work together with grace and ease.  This is when life becomes more simple and you become more focused. 

LASTLY, but very importantly, bless and say a mantra to  everything you keep.  For example, if you decide to keep an ornamental like a vase, hold the vase, give it grace and gratitude and create a sentence of acceptance for that piece.

“I thank this vase for bringing light to my spirit and giving me something beautiful to look at.”

Sounds coo coo?  It’s not!  It goes back to that step of gratitude which grounds us and simplifies life.

A QUICK NOTE:

Please be sure to comment on this step.  I’d love to hear how you are doing with this process!  Also, I’d love to continue to work with you!  Please reach out to me and we will schedule a Clarity Coaching Call!

Assumptions and Smoke Screens

March 21, 2019 by yinster Leave a Comment

Assumptions are the love child of our stories and our conditioned existence.  Assumption is the result of an aversion or something we don’t like.  Assumptions can ruin relationships.

While we were waiting at the ENT I saw a woman waiting with two children. One was about two and the other I’d guess maybe 7 or 8. The older child had special needs that needed his Mother’s attention constantly.

I immediately gave thanks that I have two healthy children. Then I felt sorry for her. This is where my lesson of the day hit home. I felt sorry for her but at the same time I was so proud of her.

I was sorry that she had to devote all of her time to him and didn’t have a quiet moment to her self. Then I wondered how selfish of me was it to think that. I’m proud of her. Maybe she made the decision long ago that this was the way it is and she would gladly devote her life to her children and need for nothing more. 

THEN I remember a lesson I taught in my Awake and Aware class about assumptions.  How we make assumptions to satisfy our curiosity and our need to know. I had made a big fat assumption. I have perceived the truth through my self made smoke screen. I can not see things clearly.

Fact is I don’t know anything about her. Her life. Her past. Her choices. Her family. Not a damn thing. And I don’t need to know. What I need to do is send her unconditional love. That is it. That is all. Assumptions to fill my curiosity of human behavior are not necessary. SMACK IN THE FACE!

In our Yinster Community we also play a game.  It’s called Truth and Dare.

This week’s Truth: identify an assumption in any given situation.

Dare:  Step back from the situation, take a second to breathe and ask yourself, ” what happens when I let go of this assumption?”

This was my truth on assumption.  Identified by a smack in the face. My Dare, what would this be like if I didn’t make this assumption….  is Love and Contentment.

I love those life lessons.
