The Art of Deliberate Renewal
Today is the day to remember my greatest vision of myself, today is the day to rebirth my self with the Spring.
All the seasons have their teachings but springtime is by far the most inspiring. In summer we are active, hot and fiery, it is the most passionate and energetic time of year. The autumn comes reminding us to gather our harvests, to celebrate the abundance we have reaped and to prepare for the long nights ahead. The winter is our sacred time to rest, to incubate, to sleep, to ponder life and restore our inner strength. And then Spring, beauteous Spring, our greatest mirror and metaphor for the rebirth of life. This is the time of awakening, blossoming and opening, the time for creativity, play and pleasure; as the world is a flutter with flowers and color, the beauty of Spring inspires us towards our true potential, our ability to bloom and grow.
Like the seeds of a flower, we incubate during sleep ready to blossom into fullness upon awakening. Every morning we awaken to a new day and a new way to think and act out our lives. In fact every moment of everyday we have the freedom to choose who and what we want to be. It is always the first day of Spring, we at choice to choose ourselves anew.
To re-create your life, to rebirth to the greatest aspects of yourself you can begin by asking yourselves three basic questions. These questions begin with “In my deepest heart”..… 1) Who am I? 2) What do I want? 3) Who do I want to be?
The primary question of “Who am I”? Is the most powerful, for within this question is the seed to the truth of your being. “Who are you?” Say it aloud, and allow the answers to come forth from within. Answering this question is profound because your seedling potential is here; for you are who you say you are! It is up to you to tell the world and yourself your ultimate truth. You are the master of your thoughts and therefore of your life, who you choose to be is a gift you give to yourself and the world. So my dearest ones, choose wisely and always say the best things about yourselves.
When I ask myself this question these are some of my answers: I am a beautiful woman inside and out. I am a teacher, a healer, a Goddess. I am a lover of nature, a creative woman and a being of love. How about you? Who are you?
As you recognize who you are, it is easier to know what you want. From the deepest core of your heart I ask you “What do you want?” Do you want to feel loved, valued and appreciated? Do you want to feel more successful? Get specific with yourself. In your deepest heart of hearts what is your soul calling for?
When you add the answers of these two powerful questions together you then have a greater understanding of who you want to be. This is the key to your deliberate renewal. What is the greatest aspect of the grandest vision you hold for yourself? How can you align who you are with what you want, to create who you want to be?
It is my belief that inner work is the way to outer changes; inner work is where your personal magic takes hold. All you must do is take the first step. Start knowing yourself as who you want to be as if you are already there. For instance, if you want to be in partnership, then everyday see yourself, feel yourself, believe yourself in partnership, call it to you and expect it to be so. Use the power of clear, decisive statements to propel you towards who you want to be. For all of your abundance comes from who you say you are. One thing leads to the next and before you know it your life is blossoming in the way you want it to. Many Springtime blessings to you.
May there be strength and beauty within you!
