Exercise

Each day, choose one small thing that will make a change in your life to create a more positive effect and to bring you into more balance. For instance, make an appointment with a body worker, go sit in nature and do a meditation, put the kids to bed early and take a hot bath with oils and candles, call a friend you haven't spoken with in a long time who inspires you, look up a class in your community that you've always wanted to take and sign up, climb a tree, give up one cup of coffee or cigarette a day, tell your child a delightful story, bring cookies to the elderly neighbor down the street, take a walk, whatever it is that inspires you that day.

Actually, take a moment each morning or evening to be quiet and let your next step come to you. Feel what's out of balance in your life and let the baby step bring you more to your center.

It sounds very simple but you'll be amazed at the changes that it will create in your life. While you are going through the process of this exercise, keep a journal. Write down what step you take each day and how it made you feel to do it. Watch as your life transforms from the inside out.

You're not only changing the world around you in some small way by doing these simple actions, most importantly, your changing the way that you look at the world around you, that's where the real shift happens. You're also giving a big, huge YES to your spirit that you are ready to invite more joy into your life?more passion.
