A list of 5 things….

We have more power and control over our current circumstances than we could ever imagine. Your own mind and spirit was the most powerful tool you were ever given. This is a frightening concept, as it provokes a few terrifying ideas. What do I do with all this power? Now I must act, what if I fail? Instead we remain complacent, give up our power and choose to look away. Choosing to believe the control comes from money, status and materialistic concepts. Well I am here to shake your reality and tell you without a healthy mind, body & soul. Not a single one of those things matter.

For this I would recommend, by starting out with a list of 5 things that are important to you. Just start with 5, and see what of those 5 things you can incorporate more of into your life. If it is easier you can start with 2, but know that you have the ability to make the difference and changes somewhere. If this is a new concept for you, and you have been lead to believe all your circumstances are beyond your control then start with 2.

For example your list could have, time with friends, travel, listening to new music or taking a new class. Taking 1 day for yourself a week to practice self care, starting a blog or simply getting more sleep. The top 5 things can be of your own choosing, but start off slow and understand that it starts with you.

So again, start by writing down 5 things that are important to you, where are you giving up control? what is lacking, what makes you feel powerless? Most of the time we do have a hobby, a passion or a pursuit we love. Something that was meant for us and we have given up long ago, simply to busy ourselves with work, or social gatherings we don’t even care to attend. Quite frankly the whole adult thing is rather boring, and designed to have you believe you don’t have the control. Take it back. No one ever gave up on you but you.

Write all of this down and find one small area you can make an adjustment, you will begin to notice you are the driver and everything else is merely happening around you.
