Consistency a huge deal when it comes to life changes. The gym, the diet, the side business, all of it can live and die by your ability to commit to it. It can be a tricky one to manage especially as pretty much everything we do will inevitably change and evolve. For instance, when it comes to the gym for a while I was pretty gun ho about the whole thing. I loved it, to be honest I still do but, these days I simply don't have the time to commit to that particular routine. I have an hour to work out, which is great but by the time I get back and forth to the place it always ends up being an extra hour added on top of that which I simply don't have. Solution, built a home gym. So that's what I'm currently planning. Nothing too crazy, just somewhere for me to work out so that after my readings I can come back down to the planet! As you can imagine after a days work my head is pretty much all over the place so a work out or a long dog walk helps me to get back into the space of my body. That really is the nucleus of working out for me. It's a process of grounding. I've noticed over the last few years that when I attach my consistency to the feeling place of what I am trying to achieve instead of the physical expression of it I am able to commit more thoroughly. If my goal was “Go the the gym every day for 2015.”, then quite honestly I have failed. If my goal was to seek new ways to remain grounded and apply them, then I achieved what I set out to do.
This idea applies to much of what I do both in my business and creative passions. I give everything a year to see if it really enhances my life or not. Some things stick and become part of my own little patchwork whilst others were meant to be merely steps along the way. Green juices, working out, creating art to sell, blogging, all of these things I gave a year to and they stuck. If after the year I no longer wanted to do any of them then I'd simply stop and find something else. Life is too short to waste time doing something that isn't benefitting me or making me feel good. With 2016 literally around the corner ( seriously, where did this year go? ) I have been looking to expand and find new ways to connect and uplift myself. The trouble with me is that I have 100 ideas a minute. I have a creative brain that goes off in a hundred different directions at once and each direction makes sense to me. This can be confusing and at points frustrating but I take the time out and make it work for me.
Before I commit to something for a year I always have a check in with the energies around me. I pray on it, ask for guidance and I listen to the whispers of the Universe. I ask for answers in dreams, I ask for guidance to be put in the hearts and mouths of those around me and I meditate more. This is a crucial step before committing to something for a year but it is just that, a step. You only really know if something is going to work for you by giving it a try. I see so many people who are so afraid to try that they end up almost paralyzed by their own inaction. Give it a go, what really is the worst that can happen? What do you want your life to look like this time next year? What memories do you want to gather? When you sit down this time next year what laughter do you want to look back on? Think about it. Pray on it. Listen to your own heart and then move forward. Commit to your joy for a whole year and see where it takes you.
