Letter To You

Dear Santa, Family and Friends...

These are the letters we write for others, but what about a letter to You?

As we enter the season of winter, which is a time for introspection and reflection, this time of year can be filled with stress, and business that keeps us distracted by time. As the month comes to an end, the concept of time will stimulate guilt of the things we feel we didn’t achieve and stimulate the fear for the new year to set goals of all things we think we need to achieve, become, and do.  This is continually feeding the separation and longing for love and acceptance, which we are all aware, is an inside job.

I welcome you to join me on an exercise to write a letter to yourself, exploring your year. Highlight all of the things you have accomplished, the lessons you have learned, the challenges you have overcome, the things you are proud of and what had you feeling creative and inspired. During this process, I found myself amazed of how much I did do, as I followed myself through out the entire year. As I highlighted some of the conflicts, I was able to observe and simplify the awareness and the skills I am still nurturing. I noticed my list was dominated with aspects of career, and found awareness in area’s I would like to take more time to nurture through the holidays and year to come.

As I try to stop feeding the guilt of the things not checked off my “To Do List”, and prevent feeding the fear of the New Year and I am not making a list of all my “To DO’s” for 2015. I am trying a new approach, allowing life to unfold opportunities vs trying to create and make opportunities! This has me settling in with a feeling of ease and calmness entering this Holiday season.

Wishing Everyone a Holiday Season filled with much love, laughter and rejuvenation!

Exercise:

Take some time to honour yourself, find a quiet place with a journal, pen and paper, or set up a comfortable environment with your computer. Allow yourself to reflect on your year, as we know each year is filled with it’s up’s and down’s . The low points are what I like to call our growth spurts, the times through the year where we often gain new awareness. The high times we come out to share our wisdom and celebrate and rejuvenate.

As you journal the year, allow this to be an opportunity to synthesise your new awareness’s and, see all the things you have accomplished. Allowing this to be an opportunity to startthe year with a new perspective of self awareness of your personal growth.

30 Day Mirror Exercise

Looking in the mirror takes a lot of courage, as our reflections are an expression of the stories and wounds that are locked deep within the body.  Facing the mirror allows one  the opportunity to hear, listen and explore the masks and coping patterns we use to draw out the unique inner beauty within.  Using theses coping patterns often from a place of fear of rejection, afraid of expressing our internal beauty that is unique to you and like no other.

I welcome everyone to join me on this 30 day challenge to nurture and support your unique internal beauty and provide yourself an opportunity to explore a new foundation and relationship with yourself and your mirror.

Stay true and be you!

MIRROR EXERCISE:

Take time each day like a ritual to honor yourself; put on a song you like, be in a room you like, light a candle just a to mention a few ideas. Take time to admire yourself in a mirror, full length if you have one and if not you may want to go and buy one :) or as along as you can make eye contact with yourself.

As you look at yourself in the mirror you can do this clothed, or if you willing to challenge yourself you can do this naked; or a combination by starting off clothed, and when you feel ready try naked.

Trying this exercise naked allows you an opportunity to observe the naked body, also removing the armour and defenses clothing often reflect. Thus providing you an experience of vulnerability and a deeper level of honesty; connecting yourself with an experience of true intimacy.

Each day read your list of compliments, ensuring you add a new one each day. Totaling 30 compliments!!

Once you have complimented yourself, and felt it through every cell in the body. Then take time to answer the three questions in a journal, or piece of paper.

1.    HOW DID YOU FEEL LOOKING AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR

2.    WRITE YOUR COMPLIMENT DOWN IN A LIST FORMAT

3.    WRITE YOUR EXPERIENCE OF HOW YOU FELT RECEIVING YOUR COMPLIMENT

4.    POST YOUR EXPERIENCES ALONG THE WAY ON THE FREEFALL FORUM ON THE THREAD 30 DAY CHALLENGE!

This event is also active on Facebook. Please feel free to add me as your friend and join the support with all forms of communication available to you. I look forward to connecting and supporting you within your 30 days of compliments.

Embrace your inner beauty & Infused with Love,
