The End of One Challenge and The Beginning of Another

Wow!  It is October already.  Where has the year gone?  I feel like it has flown by.  I have spent the month of September attempting to eat clean and motivate others to do so as well.  And now that October has kicked off it is time for another 31 Day Blog Challenge!

I loved the last blog challenge that I participated in back in July.  And now I am prepared to jump right into this one.

October is the month of Thanksgiving for Canadians.  It is honestly one of my favorite months of the year.  I love the autumn leaves.  I love the smells.  I love the thought of the trees shedding their leaves and the Earth receiving them in an effort to re-purpose them into something new and fresh.  I love that we usually get one snow fall in October and this reminds me that we always have a fresh start available to us.

I believe October has so much to teach us.  And we can learn much from it.  For example:

Are you carrying around a bunch of thoughts, ideals, or values that no longer serve you?  Are you willing to let them go like the trees release the leaves?  Are you ready to re-purpose the energy towards something new and fresh that is more in line with your current values?  When you let go of those thoughts and ideals that no longer serve you, you feel an renewed sense of energy.  And you are able to pour that energy into whatever your heart desires.

We also always have the opportunity to start fresh.  We can start fresh by simply thinking new thoughts.  All too often we work ourselves into a position where we do not believe that we have the gift of choice.  We feel there is no choice and we are stuck and so begins the down hill spiral. The amazing thing about life is that we do indeed have choices.  We always have choices.  That being said there are times in our lives when the choice is between bad and worse but there is always a choice.  When you get feeling stuck, stop, and get quiet.  Spend some time getting in touch with your breathing.  Connect with yourself.  And ask yourself....which choice can I make in this very moment that will get me closer to how it is that I want things to be.  Which choice really honors my true self?  And when you do that...you will start to feel better.  Just like that.  To feel even better still...follow through on that choice.  Take action.  Even small steps will assist with that.  And just like that....you have a fresh start.

Throughout the month of October I would like to end my blog post by sharing something I am grateful for. So today, in this very moment, I am grateful for the 31 Day Blog Challenge.  It provides me that gentle push to blog again.  And I love my blog.  It allows me to spend time getting quiet and in touch with my higher self or my true self.  It allows me to share that message with all of you.  And for that...I am grateful.

I wish you a day as Beautiful as you!

Much Love,
Lisa
