Be Inspired

January 15, 2022 by Michaeline

Does the New Year inspire you? It inspires me to look at my accomplishments and formulate my intentions for the upcoming year.

And while I have given up making resolutions, I do use this time of year to reflect and reframe.

In focusing this year on the word ‘be,” I was looking at ways that this word could inspire me. And the word be is about being present in the moment. To find inspiration, I am considering what I want to work on or what is important to me. Is it a relationship, time spent with loved ones, developing deeper connections or a healthy lifestyle?

There is a limited number of hours in a day. Twenty-four to be exact. So what it really comes down to is choice. Choosing the important over the urgent and being in the moment.

In thinking that through, I decided to go back to mission and again this year, focus on a mission statement each month with being at the forefront. This allows me to have a direction for a period of time and not feel overwhelmed while encouraging me to take small steps toward the larger focus.

I am now truly inspired to be.

Keys to Living with Integrity

February 20, 2021 by Michaeline

In  a previous post, I discussed the notion of “come as you are”. Is that living with integrity or is that being authentic? Or Is it a bit of both?

I came across this inspirational message about living a life with integrity. It is about living your life based on your values and keeping your commitments. It is about doing what is right and not what others think is right.

What commitment do you need to work on now?

Come as You Are

February 6, 2021 by Michaeline

Different. I have always felt different. The odd “man” out. Singled out as “teacher’s pet”, the “smart one” and “Miss Goody Two Shoes”.

I have felt alone (but not lonely). I have felt on the outside looking in. Trying to fit in or find my place. An introvert that likes her space and to be in control is a tough combination and can be perceived by others as being too good or aloof. Throughout high school, I shifted from one group to another, never feeling secure in my position in each. I acknowledge that much of this has to do with my insecurities, being a people pleaser and the challenge of being double promoted. In college, living at home while attending classes and trying to find my place there was the same thing. I just never felt “comfortable”. In retrospect I always felt judged…for being who I am…good at school and an overachiever (to people please). I felt like I needed to make excuses for being me.

At work, I have been in a lone position my whole career.  Always focused on achieving my goals and performing well in my role, I was challenged to make time to form work friendships. Over the years, I have been blessed to have several relationships that have developed from work, but in many ways, I still try to be the friend they want me to be. In full disclosure, I do have one true friendship from high school. I think because we both were islands in a sea of others.  Yet it is that type of relationship that you can go for years without talking and pick up where you left off. So, to me that is different than this. [Read more…]

Mother’s Day Inspiration for Self-care

May 11, 2019 by Michaeline

I wanted to take a moment this Mother’s Day weekend to acknowledge all mothers. Thank you for your unconditional love.

And let’s use this idea of unconditional love with ourselves too. Be kind to yourself as you would be to someone else. Take a moment this weekend to practice some self-care.

It’s not selfish, it’s necessary!

Going Through the Opening Into the Light

September 1, 2009 by Michaeline

Often when I am searching for answers inspiration comes in to my life in the form of a person, event or reading. The website www.dailyom.com again provided that inspiration for moving forwarding and getting unstuck.

I have come to a conclusion that sometimes when we feel stuck we may actually be fearful of what moving forward will bring us. This posting from Daily Om reminded me that if we just work through the uncomfortable we get to the light: http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2009/19966.html

If you are looking for the light to shine in your life, if you desire to get unstuck and move forward with your journey you can:
• Meditate
• Journal
• Seek support
• Think positively/use affirmations
• Just do it! Leap

How do you become unstuck?
