Spiritual Endeavor

Today is National Meditation Day! All day and night many are joining in silent intention to create thought energy for more Peace, Love, Ecology and Positive Change in the world. It is so basic in metaphysics that we are all connected beyond the physical. We also know our thoughts and feelings create our physical reality. This is a perfect day to show the world that one doesn’t need swords to fight the negatives. All one needs, is Positive Affirming and Visualizing of what We/Ourselves desire. As we ask or affirm our intention we ask for the greatest and highest good for all so the Universe, God, Source, Mother and Father God can organize the intention for ITs highest purpose. Its nice to say for highest good cause if you weren’t precise in the asking it can help cover the bases that you can’t fathom or may miss.

Man am I am bad blogger? LOL I could say that I have been doing freelance graphic design in the meantime but that doesn’t quell the need for new or interesting information on spirituality or living life to its fullest.

OK it is a gorgeous day today, warm and sunny not a cloud in the sky. I am trying to be less fearful in terms of change I like the status quo waaaay to much. I am thinking about a lot of things to help force me out of my comfort zone. Maybe moving to a younger, active environment, maybe becoming a dance teacher, join the circus, well maybe not the last one unless I get to become very bendy and work for Cirque. I am getting off my butt and working out and learning how to cook real food. Learning to have discipline and setting goals and trying not to be afraid of failing, since its not the end of the world If I do. I am trying not to give up on my self just because it may be hard or I might be afraid. In what ways am I not living to my fullest potential? What if I did step out and did things that on the outside don’t scare me but on the inside make me want to be anti-social and never have to experience life or relationships or challenges. That’s all bunk cause I know that is the reason all of us are on Earth. We need to challenge oneself and be challenged by other people. I know I have grown but I could grow in a faster clip by changing it up a bit and really combating fears, prejudices, thoughts and feelings that are not serving me any longer. God wanted all of us to be in Love with the experience of knowing the IAM. Even Jesus had rough days, he asked for the burden to be taken from him but asked for God’s will to be done anyway. Buddha was in such anguish looking and experiencing suffering but followed the path ever humbly to reach a state where he would be connected to all things that wasn’t an easy road. These great teachers among others took baby and giant leaps toward living their lives. They are extraordinary examples. We can be like them if we Let Go, Let God and move past irrational fear and experience life to the fullest.

I am forward on making changes. I hope others challenge me to make sure I am continue to move and grow. Sometimes a good push or kick in the butt is what a lady needs!

I have struggled with my weight from the time I was in 5th or 6th grade. I guess I was 11 or 12 as puberty was rearing its ugly head. I noticed I had a problem in 6th grade. During much of my childhood there was a lot of instability, countless moves, poverty and a short time being homeless. When me and my Mom landed where my 20 year old brother was living I learned to cope with the constant changes with food. I would tell myself that I could eat a whole bag of BBQ potato chips without gaining weight. Needless to say I was lying to myself. As I got older I never really put together the idea that I was eating for comfort, to satiate stability, to push down pain, anger, or sadness. It is amazing when you aren’t being truthful to yourself how much can slip away from you in your life. In high school, after I met some very active older friends I lost quite a lot of weight. I became thinner and maybe a tad healthier however MickyD’s after a night of dancing doesn’t seem healthy now! LOL

I have made excuses and with not dealing with myself and my emotions from the past I still continue to struggle with getting to a healthy state of being in mind and body. I am doing better in the mental health department but the body, old patterns and making the final decision to be healthy is still an on going process. I am a work in progress that is for sure! I found a blog today that was inspiring to me. It is called Secrets of a Former Fat Girl.

It is about a real woman who lost 70lbs and kept it off for more than 20 years. She realized it wasn’t just about what she ate or how much she exercised, even though that was a huge part. It was about breaking through fear of change, getting out of her comfort zone, changing emotional habits and recognizing the healing she needed to do within herself.

To me this is true spiritual growth, being able to move out of ones comfort zone into healing of personal fears, judgments and behaviors. I urge anyone who feels unhealthy in body to check out her blog and to check in with yourself to see how you deal with your emotions. It could be any way you self medicate-cigarettes, food, drugs, alcohol, starvation and many others. We all can learn to love ourselves more by being more thoughtful on why we do what we do and learning to take baby steps towards any goal we chose.

I wish you all love, success and support in all the areas of your life.

Love and Hugs,

Jennifer
