My Own 12 Steps for Everyday Living
sites • March 12, 2019
There's more life, more magic in you than you know.
- Laugh! It’s just life and you only get one. Don’t take it so seriously. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Laugh whenever you can!
- Love – Love yourself first and foremost. With that unabashed unconditional love we too often seek outside ourselves. Then you can gift that love to the world.
- Let it go – Let go of what your life “should” look like, and embrace what it does look like! Let go of the past, let go of hurts, let go of everyone else’s expectations.
- Speak kindly and lovingly to yourself. YOU are listening.
- Face your fears – Face them, love then, know them; then courageously keep going when they would otherwise want you to stop.
- Remember to be present – Be fully present in your mind, body, and spirit. Celebrate what is right in front of you everyday, or else you will miss your whole life.
- Celebrate!! Celebrate yourself for the amazing, unique, and magical being you truly are. Find the joy in the everyday mundane. Celebration is magical.
- Stay curious – Embrace your childlike curiosity and wonder! Never let that go. Use it to see the magic of simply just being alive.
- Stay kind – To yourself first and foremost. Then extend that kindness to everyone, even those who may not seem to deserve it. You don’t know their circumstances, but you know you. Be kind always.
- Stay honest – Honest within yourself first. Speak your truth, even when it seems difficult. Even when it seems the small lie would be better. Trust me, it won’t.
- Forgive – Start with yourself. Forgive your past, your mistakes, all the baggage. Forgive those that you may not want to. Forgiveness isn’t for anyone but you. Forgive so you can keep moving forward with joy.
- Live!! It’s not about what you do for your job, for money. It’s about what you do for a living...What you do to LIVE! Do what embraces your alive-ness. Work is work, but what you do for a living is how you truly live.
