Many people are living their lives with one foot on the breaks and one foot on the gas. Do you feel like you are at full speed ahead yet not going anywhere?

I would like to encourage you to stop resisting or putting the breaks on the ideas that come to you. You are actually hindering your ability to exercise your creative and creating abilities. This keeps you stuck in your rut.

Embrace your ideas and run with it. You'll quickly learn in the process of what works and what doesn't work for you, your health, wealth, and relationships. The gift...clarity. As my teacher would say, "experience precedes knowingness."

Give yourself permission to live from your passions and purpose. Your ideas are seeds of new beginnings. All you must do is put your attention to nurture and nourish these creative seedlings. Or, they will wither, die and go back to where they came from.

Regardless of where you are or who you are, there is always room to grow. Where your attention goes your energy flows.

Just create! You'll get better at it. And, it will come easier and more effortless for you. Allow the anxiety and fear to fuel you to go. Then, hang on and enjoy the ride.

A secret...
1. Choose the idea to put your attention on that opens your heart and makes you come alive.
2. The idea can impact and benefit only you, another, a community, or the planet
3. Know that regardless of the impact, you and everyone will always benefit as long as you come from your heart.
4. Once you embrace that you are the creative catalyst, manifestation will be your natural expression.

May this serve you well :)

Here is a simple breathing exercise that you can incorporate throughout your day. Breathing, when combined with the feelings of gratitude, peace, compassion or love, enhances your overall state of being and healing. Studies have shown that this simple exercise alone can improve your mind and body's ability to adapt to stress. "We can live weeks without food, days without water, and only minutes without air."

Breathing is necessary for your survival and for your creativity. Create health and healing by breathing.

Place one hand over your heart and the other over your belly. Make sure that when you inhale, you expand your belly. Make sure that when you exhale, you bring your belly into your spine.

Before beginning your breathing exercise focus on a nurturing feeling (e.g. gratitude, peace, compassion or love):

Inhale the feeling into your heart and down two inches below your belly button for four counts
Hold the inhalation and feeling for four counts
Exhale the feeling from two inches below your navel and out from your heart for four counts
Hold the exhalation and feeling for four counts

Repeat

Practice this exercise for at least a minute. As you get better, you will literally and physically feel sensations of gratitude, peace, compassion or love.

This exercise is a fusion of the Morter Health Rhythmic breathing exercise and Heartmath's research on heart coherence.
