Be yourself and then you will find that people will love you for who you are
and not who you are pretending to be. It sounds like an easy statement yet people are often preoccupied with being a certain way for likability. As time progresses the true essence of their being becomes non-existent. What happens when you loose sight of your authentic self?
You rebuild.
This is what I have been doing for years now. Life's obstacles have made me go through a few cycles of who am I? I go through phases of shedding negative thoughts and blockages. Then I start to allow people in my life. I share myself openly. Then I hide and block them out. It seems like an ongoing cycle of not allowing others to meet the true me.
So What Now?
I recently heard a lecture on the Hay House World Summit about the Power Pose. It was the Tuesday after my vacation. In the lecture David R. Hamilton, PhD, stated people who practiced the power pose for 2 minutes a day felt better and where more open to the positive experiences life had to offer. He went as far as saying, they open themselves up to more social interactions which is important. According to studies we feel safest when we are connected to others because through evolution our body has learned safety comes in numbers. The bio-chemistry of the body evolved so that we operate better when we are connected with others and people with
regular positive human contact live longer.
Perfect Timing
This information came at a time when I was starting to shut down and hide after things just seemed to perfect. For example, during my vacation I met people from my hometown after thinking how much the place felt like my old hometown. A blue jay, (my sign for Gramps), kept on perching on trees and ledges, when I felt like, this is to good to be true. The blue jay reminded me to take it all in because it was true. When I thought of certain friends they would call or text, like immediately. It was all just flowing and it all seemed magical. I was ready to escape from people upon my return because when something is to good to be true...well I run. Only this time, the lecture I listened to through the "let the universe choose for you" button, it was right on. The best part was when Hamilton said something like: practice the wonder woman pose and you will notice the difference. Things and experiences will start to change in a positive way. I was shocked, it was the pose I practiced daily during my vacation and it was even captured in most of my pics. I was doing it without even knowing!!!
It was all flowing.
So YES, I have said it before, and YES, I will say it again.
I AM READY. LIFE BRING ME LOVE AND JOY.
I ACCEPT.
TRAIN HARD. SHED FAST. LIVE LONG.
NAMASTE.
