A Bad Habit
Being Hard On Ourselves One of the key components of human consciousness that most of us need to address and change is our tendency to be hard on ourselves. We do this in ways that are both overt and subtle, and half the work sometimes is recognizing that we are doing it at all. For example, if we find it difficult to graciously accept compliments, this is probably a sign that we tend to be hard on ourselves. Other ways in which we express this t...Aligning Actions And Words
Actions Speak Louder Than Words Words carry a lot of weight in this world, from how we say them to what we say with them, but it is through our actions that we bring things into being. This is what we mean when we say to one another that actions speak louder than words. In many cases, what we say doesn’t necessarily line up with what we are doing, and it is here that it becomes clear that it’s easier to talk about doing something than...There Is Only Now
Fresh and UnfixedThere Is Only Now It can be easy for us to walk through the world and our lives without really being present. While dwelling on the past and living for the future are common pastimes, (1)it is physically impossible to live anywhere but the present moment. We cannot step out our front door and take a left turn to May of last year, any more than we can take a right turn to December 2010. Nevertheless, we can easily miss the future ...I love me
JILLIAN'S TIP OF THE DAY Write Yourself a Love Letter Stop and think about all of your strengths and weaknesses, and then pull out some paper and a pen and write yourself a love letter. Make a list of all the admirable things about yourself, all the things worth loving, everything that makes you special. If you get stuck, imagine that you're your own best friend and think about the kinds of things he or she might say to you about why you're...List of Positive Words exercise 12

Two wolves Two wolves One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, 'My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.The other is Good. - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolenc...Think Fit!! Be Fit
Think Fit, Be FitDo you think of exercise as a chore? Or do you think of it as a pathway to health and physical well-being? Do you consider yourself in shape and strong, or unfit and weak?The way you think about your physical fitness abilities may actually help determine to what degree activity benefits — or doesn't benefit — your body. A recent study showed that the power of a positive mind-set may play an even bigger rol...Creating A Nightly Ritual
At the end of the day, as the sweet, dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest, we find ourselves at a clear transition point: Behind us lies the previous day and all that has come before; ahead of us, dawn heralds the unfolding of all that is yet to be. While many of us have morning rituals that connect us with our center and help us to set intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of nighttime ritual a...Mind over matter
Take Action There is a popular misconception that we might be able to just wish our dreams into being. Maybe on some other level of consciousness this is the case, but here on earth what we need to do is take action in our lives. Vision is an important companion to our efforts, but it can’t accomplish anything all by itself. When we focus on what we want and ask for what we want, we are initiating a conversation with the universe. Our desir...Self Exmanation
Under The HoodImportance Of Looking Deeper It’s easy to get caught up in examining our actions instead of really deeply examining ourselves. This can be deceiving because our actions may be very spiritual—we meditate, are nice to people, take care of ourselves and others—and yet, we may not be penetrating to the issues below the surface. It’s as if we’ve washed and shined the surface of our car without taking the tim...ACTIVEINCOLORADO
