Connecting With Ourselves!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend , to my USA readers! To my Canadian friends, some of you also celebrate Memorial Day but I believe more of you will enjoy Victoria Day! No matter what the celebration, a holiday "pause" provides a moment to appreciate what we have and where our lives have taken us - - - give thanks to our families and friends - - - and reflect upon how both the good and the bad have combined in bringing us to the “place” or “result” we are currently experiencing.
In the midst of all this, I encourage “communications” to be in your heart and in your mind. During your holiday or daily events, strive for quality interactions with those you visit. Go beyond the social chit chat of the moment and strive to “connect” with those around you. If with long time relatives, explore to find something new in their lives that warms their heart to be encouraged to share. Look for opportunities to congratulate or praise a young one in your midst, a co-worker, etc. Look for the openings … don’t let them slide by you.
ALSO, when was the last time you “communicated” with yourself? Really got beneath “surface” conversation with yourself? Re-connected with your purpose, your goals, and the reality of a timeline for achieving all your intentions 100%.? Really connected to your “inner” being vs. your surface being?
If you are unsure as to how you might go about experiencing all of the above, here are a couple of ideas to try for making a "serious" connection to one's self:
- Focus on the present - who you are and what you are doing. Then think of the last experience, result from circumstances, etc that got you to “today.” Continue going backwards but as you go, connect all to your inner growth …. where, who, and what was your inner core as you traveled through time?
- Map out your journey - its amazing what you’ll discover! Start with your birth and reconnect with how much “living” you have done! It can wake you up to who you truly are and what you bring to the conversations and world surrounding you today. Too often we look at our life in “today’s” terms, forgetting all the unique experiences and chapters that got us here. (The discoveries are amazing ... the last time I did this I actually forgot an entire chapter of my life ... just got lost in the many other memories!) Mapping out the what, where, who and why of your entire life … birth to today, reconnects you to YOU! Who you are and why! All your decisions and choices for going forward will become so much more meaningful and able to connect you to your BEST future!! NO slipping up … No chance of a future moment where you say, "how did I forget this is what is important to me?" And so on.
A BONUS! Becoming comfortable connecting with ourselves, provides insight for how to connect with others! Understanding our own layers enables us to easily create conversations that encourage, trigger, inspire, others to access their own internal layers of connectivity. Communications will begin to flow more smoothly and naturally …. and may quality bequest quality!
Happy holiday weekend... Memorial Day, Victoria Day, or make it be a celebration of YOU!!
