Listening to myself

What life has been like lately: Major inner work and being moved by a handful of very conscious and giving people.

But first a quick update: A couple of posts ago I spoke about my relationship with food and in particular my liassez faire attitude about it on the weekends. Since then, I'm happy to say that I've been much more conscious and consequently, more healthy in my diet over the weekend. All is good. It just took an awareness and then a commitment. I have still indulged here and there but have done nothing that has felt bad. Again, I believe it is healthy to have a range of foods and also to treat oneself from time to time.

Overall, I've been more attuned to my intuition over the last couple of weeks. The intention of this blog was to live in accordance with my intuition and to take appropriate, intuition-based action steps. Consequently, I've been amazed at how much better I've become at living from this place, and also how I've been led to some amazing mentors and guides. I didn't necessary expect this, but it certainly makes sense given my attention to it and practice.

I've been taking small action steps just about every day towards my goals and dreams. Tomorrow I will be having a second meeting with a Hospice agency which I hope will yield a positive outcome. I've also put a number of feelers out to other organizations to provide meditation consultations/ workshops.

The long and short of it: I'm doing what I said I would be doing with this blog, and it feels good. It feels like this is what life is meant to be like. Sure, there are frequent growing pains and an ongoing set of unconscious maladaptive patterns that lurk underneath all my efforts. When I feel these come up, I just reframe the situation and self-talk my way back to my intention. New habits can replace the old. This is just part of being human.

Till next time, be well.
