Hello! Faith and trust. They seemingly go hand in hand and they're most tested in times of challenge. The greater the challenge, the greater the trust. So if you're facing anything today in your life, in your work, in the world, that is a gauntlet of sorts, that is the time not to put more muscle into it. Because that just creates more resistance, more knots, if you will. That is the time to go inside and be more still and find ease through your breath. The prana as Falli, a special woman I go to for different therapies, massage, cranial sacral work, She works with prana for healing. Using the breath, the prana to keep the muscles loose, to keep your body loose, to keep things more open, more expansive, so more light and love can ruminate faith and trust.

TRUST YOURSELF

Trust yourself. Trust the tools that you've curated, the resources you have within you and all around you. Find those quiet moments. Stay present. Stay in the moment right now because that's where your power is. That's what you can control, and I'm with you. I'm right there with you.
God, the universe, the collective consciousness has your back. Trust in that... for living well, today. 

What does it mean when certain people show up in your life? When you've got an adversarial situation with another person, in your personal life or at work, where things are a little 'sticky' with that person. They're not going to smoothly - there's anxiety, frustation, etc.

The intial reaction often is finger-pointing - that it's that person that's 'doing something' to or against you. When it's time to go inward within yourself. What I offer you is this: A person that comes into your life is either there to show you or affirm something beautiful for you, or, is there to show you a lesson for you - that triggers something in you that's ready to 'come up' to be healed. It's usually wrapped in some kind of story from the past that has to do with victimhood, a belief that somewhere at some time you were wronged, there was an injustice. Likely it was a story you created to help you survive something. I encourage you if and when that comes up - to look for the gift. To choose thrive over survive. 

So this particular person, what is it that they're showing you? If you're frustrated, scared, anxious, angry, there's a wound there... it may be a similar pattern/story and you wonder why does this keep happening? Well, maybe all of those other times you were getting smarter, stronger, more effective in learning how to heal it - and now this is the time to do exactly that!

Go inside - as it's all an inside job. And as you do, and as you actively choose to tell a NEW story, a more empowering story now that you're an adult and living well... today... watch how the knot with that person unties, unravels, and gets easier or maybe even goes away altogether.

Hello, I'm Angela, and it's time for Word of the Week. Many of us have been living this word in many variations in particular over the last three plus years now, and in uncertain times, we have to find our courage.  Steve Jobs once said, he looked back to dot his "i's" to get his confidence. And confidence can't come without courage. Courage has to come first.

So, the word of the week is courage. "I am courageous. I am brave. I am resourceful. I am resilient. I am strong. I am courageous. I am filled up with courage. I have the courage to take the next step. I have the courage to step up, step out in my life, to strengthen my own voice, to be my own person and my own best advocate." Courage.

So you won't always have the ability to use hindsight when you're present living.
When you're mindful living, what you want to do is look back first so that you can reinforce that courage to be able to look forward and have trust and faith that yes, I've got this. And eventually you won't need to look back at all, that courage will come just by looking straight ahead.

It's Not About the Outcome

I've done this before many, many times over before I have done this. So often when we're faced with circumstances, it's not so much about the outcome of what we do in that conversation or negotiation, presentation. It is more in the exercising of it, in the exercising of our courage muscle.

Try saying the word to yourself. Look back, dot your own "i's" this week. Take a look at those moments of courage that you yourself have had, and use that for stepping forward, fuller, bigger, better, stronger, more, even more confident, and get there faster- easier, even more importantly, for living well... today.
