"When we are conscious of our personal uniqueness and our universal nature we express ourselves creatively. In this way we fulfill our dreams and our life purpose." Andrew Schneider
Lets celebrate the unique BEings we are by tapping into our greatness and allowing that to shine. And if expressing ourselves creatively is one way for this to happen then I wish you a very creative day. How will you celebrate?
Warmest wishes,
Zoë

"What you resist persists. And only what you look at, and own, can disappear. You make it disappear by simply changing your mind about it." Neale Donald Walsch
Umm, changing your mindset. I was on PhoenixFM radio (www.phoenixfm.co.uk) last week talking about ways to change your mindset. And I believe that the first steps are awareness and a willingness to want to change. Changing your focus is really important because then you change your vibration and that allows a different energy to be absorbed.
How can you make this day the best? What shifts can you make today in your thinking that could have positive ripple effects for the rest of your life? Just some tasty food for thought to nurture you on your magic merry-go-round journey of life!
Warmest wishes,

“What you love is as unique to you as your fingerprints. You need to know that because nothing will make you really happy but doing what you love.” Barbara Sher
Are you happy doing what you're doing? It's very true you are such a special, unique being. So focus on that BEing bit instead of doing, be your wonderful, inspiring, creative self. Seek out what it is that makes you passionate and purposeful, follow your bliss.
If you're feeling stuck take out some Magic Me Time to think, dream, create. Allow yourself to dream big and then create a Treasure Map to keep the magic alive. If this sounds goboldygook to you then come along to my Dream, Create, Play workshop (15th July 1-4pm, email zoe@lifenergy.net for more details) where I will help you get off the merry-go-round of what you already know, to embark on a new purposeful adventure of exciting discovery!

"If you expect the best, you will be the best. Learn to use one of the most powerful laws in this world; change your mental habits to belief instead of disbelief. Learn to expect, not to doubt. In so doing, you bring everything into the realm of possibility." Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
I'm loving this reminder that just by choosing to believe positively in ourselves we can achieve so much more. To challenge myself in this way every year I create my 'I'mpossible list' inspired by the part in the film 'Alice In Wonderland' when Alice says her father would think of 6 impossible things before breakfast. And as Audrey Hepburn once said “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!”
I create goals that inspire and challenge me in various areas of my life, for example, this year on my list is to get onto radio and I now have a regular monthly slot on Phoenixfm (96.7fm). Definitely bringing things into the 'realm of possibility'!
Below is another quote by Audrey Hepburn about some of the things she believes in, how about you, what positive beliefs do you have?
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” Audrey Hepburn
Here's wishing you a very inspiring I'mpossible day!
Warmest wishes,
Zoë

"When we experience the pain of another person, we instinctively want to take away that pain. But by taking away the other person’s pain, we also take away his or her opportunity to grow. To be truly compassionate, we must be able to share another person’s suffering and pain -- knowing there is nothing we can do to relieve it and that we are not responsible for it, and yet knowing and understanding what that pain feels like." John Gray
It can be really hard to see someone suffering and I think John Gray has a point when he says we "instinctively want to take away that pain". But I believe we have to allow each other to grow through our own journey of pain as well as the more positive experiences. I know personally that even when something feels really uncomfortable or painful it is still my own opportunity to grow and in turn heal. Therefore I think it's really important to remember this so that we can truly BE there for someone by giving them the space to be in their own truth. Not always easy but something worth being more aware of and to see it as a positive addition to our life learning journey.

“If a man devotes himself to the instructions of his own unconscious, it can bestow this gift [of renewal], so that suddenly life, which has been stale and dull, turns into a rich unending inner adventure, full of creative possibilities.” Marie-Louise von Franz
How's the journey so far? Are you feeling renewed and re-energised? I recently wrote an article on simple tips to help change any sluggish energy into something more refreshing. Because the energy we are is our whole world. Our thoughts are energy, our movement, our food etc. Every cell vibrating at it's own frequency. What is wonderful is that we always have a choice about our own unique vibration. We can choose how vibrant we want to be at any given moment by the thoughts we choose.
Therefore I wish you a powerfully high vibrating time!
Warmest wishes,
Zoë

"If we don’t forgive ourselves for our mistakes, and others for the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled with guilt. And the soul cannot grow under a blanket of guilt, because guilt is isolating, while growth is a gradual process of reconnection to ourselves, to other people, and to a larger whole." Joan Borysenko
I always believe that where I am right now is where I'm meant to be because that's how I learn and grow. And fundamental to my growth spurts is seeing my mistakes as temporary defeats, not dwelling in the quagmire of guilt that can come about from something not working out the way I'd hoped or expected it to!
It's all about the energy we put into a situation; the thoughts, feelings, emotions etc the moment we realise we haven't 'got it right'. But we do have a choice about how soon we want to make a significant shift from thoughts that don't serve us to ones that help us move forward powerfully. So I keep practicing making a powerful positive shift with my focus to help my energy flow more positively than that of the negative energy that surrounds 'guilty' thoughts. I say practice because it is something that needs to be exercised like a muscle.
Wishing you an insightful and positive learning day!
Warmest wishes,
Zoë

“ Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you'll win. Channel your energy. Focus.” Carol Lewis
We really are running our own race. No-one but us can live our lives and walk our path. And I really do believe it's a case of channelling our own unique energetic vibration in a positive way, by being true to ourselves, that leaves us with a sense of purpose and meaning. As Carol Lewis says - FOCUS! I keep reminding myself of this one as I can often find myself distracted by life events etc. That's why I keep my Treasure Maps close to hand to help me channel my energy in a positive way and keep the clarity necessary to live with passion!
Happy Focus Pocus day, week, forever!
Warmest wishes,
Zoë

"Our sadness is an energy we discharge in order to heal. …Sadness is painful. We try to avoid it. Actually discharging sadness releases the energy involved in our emotional pain. To hold it in is to freeze the pain within us. The therapeutic slogan is that grieving is the ‘healing feeling.’" John Bradshaw
When I read this quote it is a great reminder that all our emotions have a place and by allowing them to come to the surface we can then 'have a go' at letting go! I say 'have a go' as it's not always easy but I agree with John Bradshaw, if we hold onto that emotion deep within, whether that be sadness, anger or fear, it can fester and cause even more pain; which I believe envitably manifests into an illness - anxiety, disease, depression etc.
So I allow myself to feel the sadness, experience it, express it and then make a shift and change my focus. Sometimes the shift is a quick passing moment, other times it takes a bit longer. But I do notice that I am like an ocean and by allowing the waves to move through me I can attain a sense of calm and stillness again.
Warmest wishes,
Zoë
