January's Energy Boost - Meditate & Forgive

In order to step in the right direction for this project. I have chosen to work on my energy. Which is kind of a vital component of life if you think about it. It determines how your day goes, what you attract and how you feel.

Goal: Daily Meditation

Med·i·ta·tion ˌ

medəˈtāSHən/ - a practice of concentrated focus upon a sound, object, visualization, the breath, movement, or attention itself in order to increase awareness of the present moment, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance personal and spiritual growth. 

Gabrielle Bernstein is one of the hottest 'Spirit Junkie's right now that has all sorts of different meditations on YouTube like "the ego eradicator" or "meditation for manifesting". The ego is something I have learned from Gabrielle and most definitely takes up a lot of my time and energy. Basically it's the Big Judgy voice inside your head that tells you "you suck" or "don't bother trying because you won't make it". Once I had identified my Big Judgy, it was easier for me lower the volume on him. It made me realize how much I judged others and had pushed them away from me. Gabrielle has even written affirmations you can use in meditations for more forgiveness or balance in your life. I have them recorded on my phone and use them during my busy day.

Goal: Flipping the big F on Dad (Forgive of course!)

Resentment and disappointment has been no stranger of mine and it has taken years of my good vibes. Turns out instead of just dealing and feeling I've been dumping and shoving it all away as if I had no right to feel sad or sulk. Sometimes we just need some time to park our butts on the couch, cry at the heartfelt moments of Silver Linings Playbook and eat a whole bag of cheese puffs!! All the hate and resentment was poisoning my big heart! I've decided no more repressing and I am working on releasing and forgiving. Starting with my Daddy. I have been giving him the ol' Judgy without really understanding him or what he has been through. So I thought, the least I can do is tell him how I feel and what I want.

Is there someone that you need to forgive in 2014? Is it holding you back from being happier you?

Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.- Will Smith
