How to create miracles in your life.
What is a Miracle and how do we know when they show up in our lives?I am elbow deep in Gabrielle Bernstein’s new book, “Miracles Now” and I am loving my morning mantras and nightly writing sessions.According to “A Course In Miracles,” a miracle is as simple as shifting your focus from fear to love.Tomorrow morning when you wake up, take a deep breath, spend one minute focusing on the mantra, “I choose love over fear” and see how the energy of your day shifts.This simple practice has me feeling more empowered, grounded, and alive throughout my day. It also has made me reflect on my younger self - to a time in my life when I didn’t know anything other than love, play, and living in the flow.Remember when you were a child and you got so wrapped up in playing, imagining or creating that you didn’t want to stop when it was time to eat? Do you remember leaving your meal half-finished to run off and continue playing?Children innately understand that food is secondary to what is most nutritious and primary in life: fun and play.As adults we seem to have lost our instinct to prioritize play.In our busy world, with its emphasis on work and responsibility, to be healthy and balanced we must work on more than just our bodies; we must feed our hearts, minds and spirits.Have you noticed that when your body, mind and spirit are engaged in a creative project or happy relationship, your reliance on food seems to decrease? Likewise, when you are unsatisfied with your relationships, your job or other areas of your life, you may depend on food to cheer, soothe or numb you.When your life is out of balance, no amount of food can feed you where you truly need nourishment. The food that we eat is very important for health and balance, but what really feeds us—a full and fulfilling life—doesn’t come on a plate.
The simple task of bringing awareness to doing that which lights you up and inspires you, is a Miracle.
