The way to Wholeness

You know I have discovered that the journey we are all really on is the journey to wholeness. We started at whole as babies, we got broken somewhere along the way and our journey is to get back to wholeness. I guess everyone gets there their own way. When I say wholeness, I mean being totally content with your life. Living your best life. It's you waking up knowing WOW. I am really doing the best I can in every area. I am balanced!

I think that self examination or introspection is one way to do it but I also think you can spend too much time on all of that. We are who we are from the experiences we have had and the people we have met. Perhaps, the key is just waking up one day and saying yesterday and all the days before don't matter.  The WAY to WHOLENESS is Living with Intention


From this day forward, I will be the best I can be. I will examine every area of my life and do exactly what needs to be done TODAY, to be the person I want to be tomorrow. 

I think even writing down the person you want to be.  First thing in the morning. We are always living in our HIGH brain. That's our one true self. The real Lisa. It's the Lisa that wants to love and be light and change the world. As the day progresses and little cares and big challenges start to literally weigh you down that you begin living in your lower brain.... That is the EGO/habit brain.  Thinking about the abuse you suffered as a child, the thing you boss said to you last week, the thing your husband said that hurt your feelings last night.... then we begin to transition to love brain living. I personally believe that's where the term LOW LIFE comes from. It's impulse living. It's not intentional now directional living.

The way to live your highest life which is your best life, is living in your HIGH brain. We need to train ourselves to STOP when we want to act, behave or think out of habit ( low life behavior) these are the behaviors that aren't good for us... eating things that don't point us to our goal, saying things that don't point us to our long term plan for ourselves. This is the behavior that addicts participate in. This is what keeps a person in a career they hate. It's habitual living instead of intentional living. Go ahead when you wake up in the morning write down your intentions. Imagine that you are having a day in the BEST possible life you could ever dream of. Write that down with the intention of getting it as you go about your day... anything that doesn't fit with that. STOP. and don't do it. ( Now if you have a normal job, even if you don't like it, ofcourse you have to go to it... :) Here are some suggestions, let's say you have a job as a secretary but really you want to start an Etsy business. Start taking steps to make that happen, make something everyday that would sell, set up your paypal to accept payments, read articles about marketing online, organize your craft room to prepare... Are you getting the idea? Maybe you want to lose weight.. well go to the gym or walk around the block, eat with intention, if it won't get you the result you want, don't eat it. ( I personally know this one is hard) Perhaps, following a creating a weight loss board on pinterest would help, or maybe reading weightloss success stories. Maybe even just thinking why do I want to eat this when I am not hungry and it won't help me? What is happening here? Where is this coming from?   That kind of thinking will lead you to an intentional LIFE!

Go ahead! Try it tomorrow morning. Get up a few minutes early and start writing. I'm going to do it too.
