Focus on Your Precious Humanity
How often have you held back your enthusiasm, emotion or excitement out of fear? Being afraid of what other’s think of us brings us back to our innate need for acceptance. Yet, when we try to get others to like us, we may behave in ways that are unnatural, out of character and robotic. This leaves us feeling unfulfilled and it is not sustainable. Today you are encouraged to stay in touch with your precious unique human life. You do not have to try to fit in, you were made exactly in the shape and form that is needed in this glorious puzzle of life. Embrace your precious humanity and be fully present, just as you are. You may discover that others are also able to relax into who they really are. How wonderful that your very presence is a gift that can set others free!
I choose to be human, rather than perfect. Today I bless others with my full presence and honor everybody as they are.
Set your intention
Before getting out of bed, take a few minutes to fill yourself with positive emotions by taking five deep, slow breaths. As you inhale, feel the oxygen lovingly filling your lungs. Accept and receive the air with an attitude of gratitude for your precious body.
After connecting with your body and breath, set your intention for the day by stating the energy or emotion you wish to feel today.
Finally, end the morning ritual by saying out loud today’s affirmation.
Focus on Genuine Connection.
Take a break around lunchtime to become quiet, still and centered for a few minutes. Take five deep cleansing breaths, once again connecting with your body, filling your lungs with life-giving oxygen. Actually sense and feel gratitude for your lungs’ ability to welcome the oxygen and feel grateful for your heart pumping the oxygen-rich blood throughout your beautiful body.
Today’s activity involves connecting with someone from a nonjudgmental, curious and open perspective. Whether in person or over the phone, reach out to someone you know to see how they are doing. Ask a few questions about what’s going on in their life. As much as possible, be silent to really let them talk and open up. See if you can mirror back to them what you have heard about their feelings or inner world. Attempt to make the conversation really all about them.
Journaling & Self-Reflection.
Tonight you will take five to ten minutes to do deep breathing as your transition from workday to rest time.
Write in your journal observations from the day. How did it feel to be present and open to connect with someone during the midday activity? Are you able to appreciate that being human is a trait we all share? Write down three things about your life for which you feel truly grateful.
Finally, spend fifteen or more minutes reading erotic literature.
