Keeping the Momentum Tip #10

Keeping the Momentum Tip # 10 fits in well with the current season, it's fall in the USA.

Understand your rhythms and cycles. The ebb and flow of life can affect your momentum. Some things naturally take more time than others.

Everyone has their natural way for doing things. Trust yourself and trust what you know to be true for you. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't be flexible.

Keeping the Momentum Tip #9

As we continue exploring the Top Tips for Keeping the Momentum Tip #9 is:

Open to new ideas. Be aware of your thoughts and of what is going on around you. Stop, look and listen are basic guidelines for picking up ideas and tips to add to or enhance what you are already doing.

As I reflect on this tip, I am reminded of the quote by the ever famous Anonymous:

A mind is like a parachute.
It only functions when it is open.

Our gifts of awareness and mindfulness will serve us well when we are open to new ideas.

Other points to consider include:

1. start where you are (your baseline),
2. be open to new ideas,
3. take inspired actions,
4. adjust as needed.

Keeping the Momentum...

Enthusiastically!

Allowing or Pushing

A few years ago a friend gifted me The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have by Mark Nepo. This book of daily 'guidance' was written by a man who chose to share wisdom, insights, observations from a life encompassing the spectrum of experiences—ordinary to difficult, life threatening to life giving—brought about by choices made.

I have come to treasure this book. Each day, each year I glean greater awarenesses along with the opportunity to live mindfully and intentionally. Today the reading was on Patience, something I've danced with many times, successfully and not so. One thought in particular stood out.

"...Had I not waited—which is different than avoiding what needs to be done...

Fear wants us to act too soon. But patience, hard as it is, helps us outlast our preconceptions..."

Various questions come to mind, including:

* How many times had I claimed to be patient when I was actually avoiding a situation, conversation, choice because I was afraid?

* What were the results from acting too soon because fear was the driver instead of wise discernment?

* How often did I push (fear based) instead of allow (trust based)?

We gain wisdom in many ways. Consciously tuning in allows the opportunity to move beyond preconceptions to clarity. This is what I choose. How about you?

In the Flow of Patiently Allowing,

Antoinette
