[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Is the old method expired?

Action just for the sake of action isn't always helpful. Maxie Mc Coy

"How many of us go into a new situation using old methods but adamant that
the old methods will work when there are clear signs that they are no
longer applicable?"

This was the theme of my speech on Wednesday to a group of professional
women who meet every month to support each other

I thought it was fitting to talk about the being courageous enough to do
something new, especially when in a new situation- Now I am not knocking
the old just saying that many times we default into the way we would
usually do what we do, unconsciously, like a nice old blanket

What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and
expecting different results?

Pay attention

This is where paying attention comes in

Be present

Be attuned to where you are and who you are with

Mindfulness

Practice it, take one occasion, just one and be fully present- that means -
train yourself to be fully there, not thinking about tomorrow, what is left
to be done, what you told your friend or coworker or what you would like to
tell them if they only lose their right minds and step to you again

Being present I have learnt makes a way for new methods, new experiences,
different approaches because we show up not only present but with an open
mind and a willing spirit

Many times I have a planned programme in place to deliver and it goes out
the door, because the present situation says- this is not the most suitable
for this present moment- I have to trust my intuition and myself that it is
the best decision at the time

I have to be courageous enough to do a new thing

Show up

Open mind

Willing Spirit

As yourself

And see how the magic happens

Peace
