Take time to breathe in greatness, strength, and the potential

to compose the story that describes you with sincerity.

Winter

Power of Your Breath:

The existence and beauty of one’s breath becomes visible in the cold air on a crisp winter day. You can use conscious breathing to direct your awareness and energy to specific parts of your body. This ability has helped many stimulate the healing energy inherent from within. To encourage the natural healing and growth process, singles can imagine that you are breathing through the part of your body that needs restoration. It is believed that a number of common health problems exist due to blocked energy and breathing deeply releases blockages and leads to an unhindered flow of energy through the body.
What to do: Each time that you notice the magnificence of your powerful breath on a cold, refreshing winter day, take time to breathe in greatness, strength, and the potential to compose the story that describes you with sincerity.

Unique Like Snowflakes:

Like you, snowflakes are unique and cannot be duplicated. They are one of life’s simplest pleasures. In 1931, Wilson Bentley, who became known as “the Snowflake Man,” published over 2,000 images in his exceptional book, “Snow Crystals”.

He stated, “Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind”. So during winter, as well as within one’s life course, the probability of two crystals growing with exactly the same pattern is extremely small. You’ve experienced different things, have a different biological composition, know different people, and so on.

Winter also brings about the hibernation of many living species and animals. It is a natural time that supports renewal and conservation of energy sources. For singles, winter can be a time to slow down your pace. Being more dormant brings about anticipation of new possibilities and a time for planning and preparation. Contemplate your plans and progress. Spend quiet moments acknowledging your value and vision. Be at peace with the greatness of the spirit within.

In the solitude of your mind are the answers to all your questions in life.
You must take the time to ask and listen.

DECLARE YOUR MAGNIFICENCE AND MOVE FORWARD

Excerpt from Singles Guide to Greatness…

A vision declaration becomes your governing message for everything that provides energy, purpose and fulfillment. It will help you move forward from this place in your life and remain consistent over time. When you face an outcome that threatens your foundation, it is so important for you to separate the experience from you as a magnificent being. Create a moving on declaration to revitalize your beliefs and stay on the peak solo course regardless of what type of disappointment you encounter. Robert G. Allen reminds us that no one drowns from falling into water. They drown by staying there.

Sample Declaration:

I am an incredible individual with an abundance of gifts. I give fully to all that I do. My goal is to succeed in the endeavors that I pursue but I recognize that life is a growth process and there are many lessons to be learned. These lessons may seem unreasonable and complex. The message is not clear; however with grace I accept the opportunity to discover and develop new skills and strengths that will assist me (and possibly others) in the future.

Magnificent You - Courage Within

An excerpt from Singles Guide to Greatness:

There truly is beauty and many gifts that invite personal transformation within each season. Fall is no exception. Some would argue that fall offers one of the most pronounced visual displays and the miraculous patterns of adaptation and preservation of life found in nature. With careful consideration you will notice the lesson it offers for courage.

The leaves during this period stand out and attract considerable attention. Most would describe them as bold and vivacious. If you have an appreciation for nature, the stunning palette of multiple colors will amaze you every time. It is not unusual to find a single tree hosting a variety of shades. It’s as though they are commanding our attention. What do you think their message to the world would be? My guess is, “Look at me. I am dynamic and astounding - naturally.” A lesson for all. You don’t need to flaunt yourself using false representations. You just need to be willing to put your unique potential out there in a vibrant, fearless way.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.  ~Ambrose Redmoon

In what ways will you use your vibrant gifts and bring courage to your life?

Today I will have the courage to…

Affirmation: Courage resides within me and paves the way to growth.

Magnificent You - Are Emotions Contagious?

Northwestern University researchers studied the emotional responses of both dating partners and college roommates. They found that people in both types of relationships became more alike in their emotional reactions.

It was also noted that dating partners who demonstrated emotional resemblance had relationships that were more solidified with lower rates of dissolution. The findings suggested that some individuals are more likely to spread their emotions while others could be more susceptible to catching the moods of others. Your awareness in both areas is essential for your own well-being in addition to those who are in contact with you. The ideal is to catch lots of positive emotions – your friend’s enthusiasm over a new opportunity – and avoid the negative ones. It might help to recognize when you are affected by the energy of others and release what is not supporting you to flourish.

Listen completely and attentively to not only the words but also to the feeling of what others are conveying and practice awareness to the reciprocal nature of interactions - on all levels.
