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

to compose the story that describes you with sincerity.

Excerpt from Singles Guide to Greatness…

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.

Magnificent You - Spring Growth

Excerpt from Singles Guide to Greatness:

For some, spring cleaning is exhilarating and for others it is a huge burden. One of the universal parts of the ritual is getting rid of clutter that you really don’t need. As you undertake this practice in a physical sense, it is also the right time to turn your attention to cleaning the clutter taking up valuable space in your mind. I am encouraging you to do this on a regular basis, but now you can look even deeper into the things that aren’t serving you well. The indoor air may be stale during colder months and spring warmth allows you to open windows of opportunity. Bring in the fresh air that welcomes new perspectives and an evolving great life story.

New seeds are planted in spring. They are the seeds that will grow to glorious blooms during the hotter summer months. Quite often we see the lovely flowers growing and fail to honestly think about the journey that transpired for the beauty to be admired at that time. The same is true for our lives. In the book, Acts of Faith, Iyanla Vanzant says, “If we want to lay back and sniff the lilies of our valleys, we must tend our seeds of thought with constant care.” What you put in and give the place to grow will ultimately determine your story.

Affirmation for Spring Openings: The richness of each possibility is nurtured by the quality of what lies within.

Magnificent You Series - In Touch with YOURself

In the chapter devoted to the greatness of single women, I share a story about one of the many women who I’ve worked with that came to the discovery that she knew very little about her unique essence. She was completely detached from the spirit of her life.  In a world that thrives on getting more and doing more, her realization is shared by many women. We often conform to this influence while still assuming the primary caregiver role.  I talk about some of the other common barriers preventing far too many women from living fully.

“Being a treatment centre, these women were addicted to mood-altering chemicals and/or unhealthy relationships, paralyzed by fears, guilt, shame, low self-esteem, post-traumatic stress resulting from abuse histories, anxiety, depression, over-extension of themselves, and so on.  Many of these women had yet to discover their own separate sense of self.” ~ Singles Guide to Greatness

Magnificent women reach out to touch new possibilities. Step forward into a light that illuminates all that you are most passionate about. You just need to believe that you are deserving and that awakening the story guided by your heart will reveal the joy you were meant to experience.

Online Social Rhythm: Compose Your Platinum Social Network Platform

Your Best is Yet to Come! Believe it, shout it and accept nothing less.

So many singles (like everyone) get stuck in a state of just living.  The challenge of life and future aspirations has been neatly tucked away to a place where it is rarely visited or even remembered.  Although I am the first one to emphasize that soloists need to recognize all that they have achieved, I still think that a healthy perspective includes a desire and vision for consistent growth.  Your body, mind and spirit can never reach its final potential while you remain on this earth. There is always more to learn and new potentials to discover.

What will you do today to uncover and step towards your personal and professional best? Pick up a new book? Join a new club? Apply for a new position? Develop your business plan? Work on your communication skills for social events? Establish new financial targets? For some singles, the answer to moving towards your best could be very easy to identify.  For others, your potential treasure might be a bit deeper in the archives. It is worth the mission. Your best is a lifetime goal worthy of your attention.
