Create an Inspiring Space

by Michaeline on July 25, 2009

Your private oasis…a space to replenish your spirit. Whether to study, read or to contemplate the clouds you need a space free from distraction. You need a space where you can discover our own unique talents or just come to do nothing at all.

Even if it is a small segment of time and only a tiny area of space, you can set aside a place for this endeavor. It might be a chair on your porch, a meditation bench near your bed, a spot in the garden or a rocker in the corner of the guest room. Any spot can be a temple of renewal …a place of reflection.

Bring into this space a few mementos or items that will help make the space your own. Things like a journal and pen, audio tape, art supplies, a pillow, books, candles or your favorite sweater can make this place your own and set the stage for self-knowledge and growth.

So pick your private space and set it up…get ready for something wonderful…doing something for yourself.

Are You Inspired?

by Michaeline on June 30, 2009

What inspires you? Do you wait for external things to inspire you or do you inspire yourself?

Don’t wait for external motivators…rely on yourself to make changes that last.

Here are some strategies that will inspire you as you travel the road to personal change adapted from an article in Women’s Life Style Magazine (April 2009) by Janice Lynne Lundy.

1. Give yourself a morning infusion.
Rise 15 minutes early to engage in “good” activities to start your day. Meditate or read and focus on things that are positive.
2. Choose the company you keep.
Spend time with those that support your desire for change.
3. Make an honest assessment.
At the end of the day take time for reflection. Make observations of the successes and lessons learned to help move yourself forward.

Begin your daily journey with positives and inspire yourself into greatness.
