Because its what I wanted to do!

I wanted to go dancing, so I did.
I want to go dancing again, so I will.

Do things because you want to do them. Before you participate in an activity, ask yourself if it is going to benefit you and/or the people around you. Are you doing it for YOU? Are you doing it because you want to participate?

We all have to do certain things we don't particularly want to do, but find a way to understand how by doing it you will benefit yourself, and/or the people around you in a good way. And by "benefiting" other people, I don't mean to "please" others. I'm talking about a philanthropic style benefit.

If you find yourself doing things you don't want to do... in order to please someone else, the relationship you have with that person will suffer. If you are doing things you don't want to do because you are pleasing society, the relationship you have with yourself will suffer.

So do something "because its what I wanted to do". Then when someone asks you "what motivated you to do blah blah blah, you'll know.

I love to dance, so I dance a lot!

Love (verb) you!

Unattachment

Hi, my name is Jes
I am just me
The world looks the way it looks only through MY eyes.
I look the way I look only through MY eyes.
I am the only person I have to maintain.

As dis-eased humans, we look outside ourselves to fix the world,
We turn to money, power, recognition, and lust for "love".
Our conditioned mind allows us to fear that without those things we will die.
Therefore we attach ourselves to the need to have. more and more and more.
If we don't obtain the job, we won't have the money... if we don't obtain the body, no one will love us.... If we don't obtain the love, we will be lonely.

We are attached to these things, because we fear not having them,
We fear not having them because we define happiness externally.

Today, when you feel animosity toward someone... when you feel the need to have power... when you feel the need to be recognized for your doings, when you feel the need for more money...

Say to yourself - go inside.
"I love you"
"I am here for you"
"I trust my intentions, and I trust you"

Being unattached only means you have with out needing because you do not fear the outcome.. because you trust yourself, and your decisions.. because they are decided with good intentions.

Love (verb) YOU!

One Day at a Time...

We do a lot of daydreaming.
Self creation of our lives inside our head, and behind our eyeballs
Images of our self being this, and/or doing that.
Being successful, beating ourselves up, planning, planning, and lots of worrying.
When this style of living is constantly used, we are easily scared out of accomplishing our goals...
overreact in minor conflicts, misinterpret other people's communication, and loose touch with the big picture.
If you have a dream, a goal you want to reach...
try taking it one day at a time, practice patience.
We tend to have dreams, and expect them to come true tomorrow.. and if not stress stress stress.
Goals are great, and you should have them and think about them... but do not get away from the sole purpose of your goal... usually we want to better ourselves in some aspect of life.
So have your goals, be patient and trust that things will fall into place..
Instead of having goals, hacking on yourself when you go against what you "said", and being stressed about the end result.

One day at a time.
"I want to lose weight"
"I want to be healthy"

Those goals are journey's! We have to learn to accept ourselves NOW before we can accomplish our goals. Because if we don't and we "lose weight", or "become healthy" those accomplishments aren't going to satisfy.

Practice everyday love for yourself. Practice accepting you NOW. Practice being patient, and trust your intentions.

Books where I've been inspired about being patient, and trusting my intentions...
"The Seven Spiritual Steps to Success"
"The Power of your Subconscious Mind"

Love (verb) YOU.

This is me loving in the moment, and accepting me and the world right NOW

We Tend to be so Hard on Ourselves!

How many times throughout the day do you bad mouth yourself?
It starts as soon as we open our eyes in the morning, then happens again rolling out of bed. On to the bathroom passing by the full length mirror, ouch. Then the shower and on to breakfast.. and it continues like this ALL DAY long! Every thought of food, every bend over, every "pretty" person that walks by, every flip of the magazine pages, every check of myspace, facebook, or youtube. All the time!
How do we expect our bodies to become healthier when we are sending all these negative thoughts to it!? Don't continuously convince your mind that your body isn't good enough..... oh no.
How about being positive? How about ACCEPTING how things are right now.

Its like we tell ourselves all these horrible things that should excuse why we can't be happy right now. Ask yourself, "what is keeping me from being happy RIGHT NOW, in this moment?". Also decide what makes you happy.

"I want to be loved by someone" --- LOVE YOURSELF!

Today be aware of where you beat yourself up. Decide if its worth it, and find a new way to love yourself :)

What do you WANT to do?

Mowed Grass Trail :)
Think about an activity you might look forward to doing. Not an activity you think can be the one you could do every day. Think of something you'd want to be doing right now, or one you would get up in the morning an look forward to doing. With out all the bulk of what you think you NEED to do in order to be healthy and happy. What activity would you DO for refreshment? The picture is a trail someone mowed on their land right off of a bike trail! How cool? Do your activity today without the pressure or worry to do it again tomorrow. Treat yourself.
