Living On The Edge... 3 Easy Steps to Not Fall Off

Are you living on The Edge?
On the edge of surviving, on the edge of your relationships, 
on the edge of your greatest health?

Does it seem that you are constantly striving to make more of yourself and continue to find there is not enough of you to go around? Do you find yourself with the partner of your dreams yet continue to bump up against that thin veil that separates the two? Are you realizing that your greatest health lies just beyond the tips of your fingers as you reach farther into the depths of time?

What is it that "those people" have that 
allows their lives to flow and prosper?

I have been studying this concept for many years and every day I wake up with a greater degree of understanding. Every day I wake up to greater understanding of that which I already know.  I am realizing each day the truth of my true nature and what it take to live that authentically and fully.  

And here I am.

When I was afflicted with Bi-Polar Manic Depression there were many days I was high as a kite, loving life and completely unstoppable. Other days I was hiding behind closed doors, not answering the phone and drowning myself in oreos and ice cream. (Ben & Jerry's was my favorite!) Those were the days nobody saw. I hid from everyone, only to show my face when I could put it on with a smile.  And the last 10 years has been a process of me learning how to have less of those days and more of the others.  Now that I am on the other side of it, I can look back and see why I felt so stretched out, so disconnected, and so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

There are 3 Easy Steps you can take right now to not Fall Of The Edge...

1.  Take Time Each Day to Choose What You Want.

Maybe you are in a situation where you feel there is nowhere to turn, you're raising your kids on your own or living in a shelter, and maybe none of it is what you actually want.  That is a GREAT realization my friend!  Once you realize what you don't want you then can decide what you do want.  Once you decide what you want write it down, visualize the way it would feel to experience it now and give thanks as if it has already happened.  You must feel it in your body and give up any negative, pessimistic thinking (that may be hiding in the background).  This simple practice will get your subconscious programmed to "seek out" this new experience for yourself. 

2.  Take A Step In The Direction of Your Desire.

Perhaps you are finding you are not passionate about your job, but it's paying the bills.  You must decide if your life is worth more than that and then take a step to change it.  You are the only one who can hand your resume out or begin something fun and creative to bring in the cash.  What ever step you take in the direction of your desire will open doors to bring that desire to you.  It is amazing how the Universe responds to our wishes when we have sincere and ethical motivation.

3.  Pause For A Response.

Once you have taken a step in the direction of your desire take a moment to wait for a "reply".  It is too easy to get caught up in taking too many steps in too many different directions, thinking you have to make something work, trying to make something happen so you don't feel like a failure, and in all the "doing" you lose yourselves and totally miss the outcome of your actions.  It is true the "reply" make not be what you want, but the simple act of receiving it gives you the power to refocus your desire with laser-like intention and choose a different action step.  All the answers lie in the stillness.  Imagine being in a  relationship and you talk, talk, talk, do, do, do, and wonder why you feel a little dissatisfied with the relationship. You will naturally begin making things up that your partner is or is not doing and blame it all on those things, when in reality you have not given your partner a chance to respond to your requests and actions.  EVERYTHING is about relationship.  The way you relate to your work is a relationship; the way you relate to your kids is a relationship; and most importantly, the way you relate to yourself is a relationship.  Are you taking care of everyone else and leaving yourself out?  Pause for yourself and you will be doing everyone favors.

I have taken on the challenge on pausing more in my life and I am finding that (as long as I can stay out of judgement) the tension is gone in my head and back, I am feeling more fulfilled in my relationships (because I am actually allowing them to relate to me!), and best of all I feel sexier in my body than ever!

Enjoy Yourself and Your Life...
This is all you have right now.
