Do you find yourself saying that you would like to try meditation, take a yoga class, go for a walk after lunch, but that you’re just too busy? The most common block to having a spiritual practice is busy-ness. We women who do too much try multitasking so many things each day that we end up prioritising, consciously or subconsciously, all of them as being more important than ourselves. We put our to-do lists before any time devoted to making contact with the place within us that is true and real. But, when we finally take time out to connect with our inner guidance, we enter into the bliss of unlimited unconditional love, peace and creativity.  This infinitely improves our experience of the world and we once again begin to remember how wonderful we really are. When we remember this truth about ourselves we instantaneously remember this truth about everyone else too. We experience a sense of connection with everything and everyone. We remember we are all one. We realign with our purpose to serve others by more fully celebrating ourselves.

Here we are. Teaching ourselves some different ways to have our lives feel better, have more fun, more money, more material possessions, feeling better about our relationships, work , livelihoods, and business. And......the biggy; having our dreams come true.

Creature comforts can give you more happiness, but true happiness can only be experienced if you don’t need them. If you don’t have to have your latte, then your latte can truly make you happier.  We don’t value living a life devoid of pleasure. The Almighty loves us and wants us to have pleasure. He created us as pleasure seekers. But woe to the ones who become slaves to those pleasures. Don’t let your latte shackle you.

When put in their proper perspective all of life’s difficulties become understandable. Not easy, not pleasant, but understandable. And as the great psychologists have said, when a person understands his/her suffering, the burden is alleviated greatly. We can still have tranquility of soul. We can still have peace of mind.

A happy and fulfilling life experience can be boiled down to the choices we make in each moment. We either choose to look at our lives through the eyes of love or through the eyes of fear.
