Love After Love

I thought this prayer was perfect for the teachings of Self Love and Relationships

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome and say, sit here.  Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was yourself.  Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you have ignored for another, who knows you by heart.   Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, and the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.  Sit.  Feast on your life.

Derek Walcott, Collected Poems 1948-1984,  New York, Farrar Straus Giroux, 1986

I would like to honor Madeline Ebelini of www.IntegrativeMindfulness.net for sharing this with me to be able to share with all of you.

Saying No – Speaking YOUR TRUTH

When one takes a moment to look at images that appear when searching the word NO on the internet, you will see why we as a society have not been so good at saying NO - it seems so harsh and unloving yet we are here to love and connect with others. There are defiantly things we use a harsh NO for - things like drugs, bullies, and other evil low energy habits of society.


What I want to speak about is the common “No” to the people you love, your spouse, your children, parents, friends, and your boss.  The harshness of the word holds us back from using it because we don’t want to hurt others and we are unsure of what will happen in the relationship if we do.  So what can we do about this?

We can learn a new way, a loving and open way to speak our Truth.  Here are a few that I have used with a little practice you to will be able to sit comfortably with saying them to those you love.

 “Now is not a good time for me”

“I hear you and I understand how important it is to you and I wish you success for me it is not a good time to start something new”

“I would love to help you and I know the time has to be right for me to fully help, I also know that right now is not a good time for me”

“I need to be at home this evening based on my day I will have to decline from our dinner plans” 



 As you learn to speak from your heart you will find that everyone benefits from your Truth.

Blessings of truth,

Mir Lynne Pietrzyk

Passion “How to Follow Your Passion”

The winding road of your life, with all its twists and turns, expected and unexpected, has brought you to this point.  But there is an urge to move forward as your true self.  Expressing more of who you are inside allows you to Live Your Passion. Trust that your inner yearning is real and express it.  It can be expressed all at once or overtime.  Allow and be gentle with yourself but always honor your True Self.

Do you feel challenged by trusting and allowing your True Self to come out?  Most people do at first because it is not something we have been taught how to do in our past.  This concept of allowing is new to most and at first can seem overwhelming but I can help you with simple free tips.

Today's Exercise - I approve of Myself

I approve of Myself is a powerful statement which is often not used due to beliefs around the ego.  This power statement has many benefits; the ability to see all things are possible, a inner reassurance, and freedom of judgment. 

Take the time to write a minimum of 5 to as many as you desire the statement "I approve of Myself".  Then journal all the thoughts which come to your mind.  Get the stuff out of your head and on paper so you can reflect on why you are feeling the way you are.  How do you feel?  What are your thoughts?  What beliefs are showing up for you?

To find out more about learning how to shift these beliefs go to www.shiftandwakeup.com

Have you ever wondered ... When will Life be in balance?

Many of my clients ask me how to achieve balance in their lives.  Here are my tips, the ones that helped me rebuild my marriage, harmonize my relationships with family and friends, and taught me how to love myself in the process.

• Make time for you 1 hour of reflecting on your day in meditation or just sitting quietly
• Journaling your thoughts that keep you up at night or you think about all day long,
• Hire a experienced Life Coach to support you on your journey to a life of balance.

I teach a journaling class in SWFL, we would love t have you join us. For more information http://www.shiftandwakeup.com/calendar.html

 

Here are a few questions to ask a Life Coach before you hire them.  http://www.shiftandwakeup.com/questions.html

Living in Peace

Ego could be defined as whatever covers up basic goodness.

From an experiential point of view, what is ego covering up? It's covering up our experience of just being here, just fully being where we are, so that we can relate with the immediacy of our experience. Egolessness is a state of mind that has complete confidence in the sacredness of the world. It is unconditional well being, unconditional joy that includes all the different qualities of our experience.
By Pema Chodron

The Ego is all the thoughts of fear, judgment, self-pity, anger and the actions of control which results in Stress and Overwhelm in your days and finally resulting in a life without Peace.

Learning to live a life of Peace is like learning to ride a bike, you have to keep working at it and soon you will experience it.

If you are unsure on how to get started call me for a 15 minute complimentary session to discuss how my coaching sessions can guide you to living a life with Peace.

Go in Peace
