Life is like a lemon drop,
Sweet and sour at the same time.
It all depends on how you choose to enjoy it.
Do you focus on the sour?
Do you chew it up so fast as to finish it?
Or do you choose to savor the flavor?
Life is like a lemon drop,
Sweet and sour at the same time.
How do you choose to enjoy it?
Gently close your eyes.
Slow down your breathing.
Breathing in through your nose.
Feeling your belly expand.
Breathing out through your nose.
Allowing your body to relax.
We are each on a journey which will present its own unique challenges.
We can transform the way we see difficult situations from seeing a problem to recognizing it as a challenge.
Or instead of seeing it as something that is holding us back and keeping us from having the life that we desire,
We may say,
What can I learn from this experience?
Instead of thinking,
Why is everyone against me?
We may think,
How is life working for me in this moment?
Using this gentle curiosity,
We begin to shift our perspective and allow ourselves to savor the journey of life.
We begin to let go of the reins of control a bit and allow ease and joy into our lives.
Seeing that the challenges that life presents us with may actually be gifts,
Helps us to shift how we show up in the present moment.
To allow ourselves to grow from the experience.
To shift from the victim mentality and instead taking ownership of our lives and facing the challenges with fresh perspective.
No matter where you stand,
No matter where we live.
Everywhere we go,
No matter what difficulty we may face.
Wherever we would face no matter how you may feel.
You may have had someone ask whether you see a glass of water as half full or half empty,
As a way to indicate whether you tend to view life with optimism or pessimism.
You may have noticed though that the glass really is both half full and half empty at the same time.
One answer isn't more correct than the other,
But it is our choice where we choose to place our attention,
Where we choose to put our energy.
We are not ignoring that there is contrast.
We are empowering ourselves to take ownership of our lives and our choices,
Realizing that we have choices is the first step on this journey.
Often,
Our view of life becomes so habitual it may be challenging to see at first.
We may be quite unaware of our thoughts,
Especially of our deep-seated thought patterns.
Let's take a moment to shine a light on a limiting belief we currently hold.
Anything you habitually think that may be holding you back,
It may take some contemplation,
Some vulnerability on our part to be open and honest with ourselves,
To notice thoughts that we have been holding onto that no longer serve us.
And drop into the sensations of your body here as you continue to breathe.
As you both fixed for your first time,
Let us focus again on this moment.
You You You This can be quite uncomfortable work at times As we tend to resist feeling our emotions The only way to transmute our uncomfortable emotions is to allow them To go through them To feel them To process them As we allow ourselves to feel what comes up Then the truth The wisdom can begin to present itself to us When we open ourselves up in this way We allow ourselves to hear the messages that were there all along We become open to receiving the gifts in the experiences We become open to growth We begin to know vulnerability as strength Allow any wisdom to present itself to you with a loving and open heart Continue to breathe You You You You You Life is always presenting us with challenges with chances for growth It is how we choose to respond that can transform the quality of our life That was truly deep work today my friend Let us continue to breathe and Sit with the wisdom That has come up for us today You You You You So lovely When you are ready Gently open your eyes And find your beautiful smile You
