The Importance of Looking For the Lesson

10x Your Life

When you’re experiencing a loss (of any sort) the pain and devastation of your loss can feel overwhelming.
Every individual will process grief in their own unique way. My husband, Andrew (Dan’s father), and I coped with our son’s passing completely differently.
There is no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve. Some of the immediate emotions in grief are shock, numbness, denial, confusion and disbelief—all of which can act as a cushion against the full impact of your loss.

As time passes, some of these early emotions may begin to wear off as others emerge including guilt, anger, loneliness, despair, sadness and regret. Because of the intensity of all the emotions you are feeling, you may not be able to fully comprehend all that you are experiencing. These feelings and emotions are all a normal and natural response to the passing of someone you love or the one thing you truly had your heart set upon having.
Some will express their pain easily and openly, while others will keep their feelings locked inside.
One thing I know for sure is that there is a lesson for you in every situation. Be it either a perceived negative or positive, there is a lesson. And to be honest, there is really just a situation or event, neither negative nor positive as the classifications will be classed differently by each and every one of us.
Looking for the lesson is a way for us to heal quickly. So much so, that the word actually tells us that as soon as we get the lesson, there will be “less on” us.
How cool is our language?
Look for the lesson, you’ll heal and have less on you – less angst, less regrets, less of everything.
Love, love, love it.
Though to be honest, I do understand that sometimes you require a different perspective for you to sort through things to find the lesson in a timely manner.Not sure where to start?

Until next time…..

Be well and remember to make each day meaningful, memorable and magical………..and never, ever, ever stop dancing!

You Get to Choose

10x Your Life
“The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day.” Thomas S Monson.

Everything in life is a choice. We get to choose how we react to every single event or situation. We can live a life of the blame game or we can consciously choose to look for the good in any situation.

Ok, someone may not have acted, how they would have if they had been in a better space or true to their higher self, though that does not mean you should follow suit. You have a choice to stop the blame, stretch and move beyond, find some forgiveness and find a higher frequency to live each day.
Find a better feeling thought. It is not easy to move from depression to love in one go though you can move from depression to revenge then to hatred then to anger then to frustration and before you know it you will be feeling a whole lot better as you will have released those negative feelings /outlook and move into the “life experience teaches” way of looking at everything that occurs in your life.
I’ve never understood why we are not taught the Laws of the Universe at school.  They are a great way to look at life and during these times it’s helpful to remember the Law of Relativity, the ninth of the 12 Laws of the Universe, when you are grieving and thinking “Why me? Poor me!”
As described in Norma Milanovich and Shirley McCunes’ book The Light Shall Set You Free(1998), this law states that:
“each person will receive a series of problems (Tests of Initiation) for the purpose of strengthening the Light within. We must consider each of these tests to be a challenge and remain connected to our hearts when proceeding to solve the problems. This law also teaches us to compare our problems to others’ problems and put everything into its proper perspective. No matter how bad we perceive our situation to be, there is always someone who is in a worse position. It is all relative.”

Are you ready to choose WISDOM and a different perspective for the way you look at your life?

Moving Beyond Your Worst Nightmare

10x Your Life
In order to live a fulfilled, rounded and successful life we require contrast in our life, otherwise how would we be able to distinguish the great from the not so great?
My life has been full of much contrast and I now know that it has been through these perceived negative times that I have had my most growth. These times have stretched me to find the inner strength, the beautiful heart and soul that I’ve always had, though kept hidden for way too long and now I see her ever so clearly each time I look into my amazing eyes – the window to them both.

When my son Dan passed away unexpectedly just over five years ago, I was a Chief Financial Officer of a publicly listed company. I had no time to be a grieving mother, so I went straight back to work, working even longer hours and definitely eating and drinking way too much.

About fifteen months later, I was made redundant and within two days I knew that this was going to be the best thing that could happen to me. I like to refer to this time as me waking up from my “ground-hog day daze” to take the first of many deep life conscious loving breaths.

You know the one, where you slowly breathe deep into your belly, allowing your Buddha Belly to rise, visualising white cleansing smoke coming into your body as you breathe in and dark toxins being released from your body as you breathe out.

From the time of taking these breaths, I began to birth the person I am today. One that is aware, so so very aware, that we came to earth to experience contrast and to have expansion. We are here to serve others and to leave the world better than how we found it.

That is my reason for writing my books. My intention is to share with you the many tools and rituals, that I have created over the past four years that have opened my eyes, heart and soul to see that we have a choice in any situation to either grow and expand or to live a bitter ‘blame game” life.

These tools will assist you to heal from your worst nightmare, as for most of us these will be different events, be it a death of a child, loved one, a redundancy, a divorce, financial loss, a promotion or even a loss of knowing that you may never experience being a parent.

Until next time…..

Be well and remember to make each day meaningful, memorable and magical………..and never, ever, ever stop dancing!
