The Joy of Morning Promises New Possibilities

This post is part of my on-going series on Awareness & Being In The Now.

As long as I live, no matter how old I get, morning brings me joy.

As the darkness surrenders to the Light, I am assured that all that happened in the past, is past.

Click to listen to me reading this post to you (11 minutes).

I am promised that this new day that is just beginning to unfold before me has never been before. Anything is possible. Everything can change.

Hope and possibilities charge my imagination. Miracles are available to me. Destiny is available to me.

I am unlimited and now free to do things differently. I can right old wrongs. I can forgive others. I can be forgiven. Nothing limits me as the Light conquers the darkness, hope is in my heart.

Nothing is impossible today.

What will happen is a mystery pregnant with potential. My creativity is charged from a fountain of new solutions. Thoughts that I have never thought before are now available to me. Dreams I have never dreamed before can emerge onto the blank canvas of this new day that is opening to me, for me.

There is comfort in knowing this day has never been before. There are release and freedom in knowing that nothing I think or choose to do is captured or confined by what I have considered or done before this day.

The mystery of this new day is magical. It is empowering and inspiring. As the Sun moves to chase the moon away, my heart opens to the Light.

Today is a precious gift that I treasure. It has never been before, and it shall not come again. I must seize it and wrestle from it all the gifts today brings into manifestation.

It is only one day, but it is my day because it is today. I have been blessed with the breath that sustains life. I have been blessed with the eyes to see the Sun be victorious.

My life adventure opens new doors. I can meet people I have never met before. I can find Love I have never known before. I can find an inspiration that can change the world. I am unlimited and unfettered as this new creation of life is revealed in the Light of this day.

What thought will I think that I have never thought of before? What idea will I have that I have never had before? What solution will I find to problems that have plagued me?

All is new and available to me with the emerging of a new day. The promise of new possibilities is the inescapable reality of right now, today.

As I meditate on this miracle, I pause to consider my many blessings. Gratitude fills my heart.

I let myself appreciate the little things. The air that is abundantly available for me, on-demand, and at my need is a gift I use, often without thought. Yet, if I pause and consider it reminds me that what I need to sustain my life is freely given and available for me. I need to only use what is freely given to claim it.

In my breath is also a reminder that life is a constant flow of taking in and using what I need, and letting go of and releasing what is no longer needed. I cannot only take in, but I must also release and let go. This ebb and flow is so simple, yet I realize that I sometimes let my fears of shortage and lack cause me to be greedy and hoard.

With gratitude, I look around and consider what other life lessons have my busyness made me oblivious to. As I sit within the calm empowerment of the morning, I become aware of gravity. Gravity is something that I seldom consider and yet it is a blessing and a gift that the world provides to me for free. It is something I can surrender into to relax. As long as I obey some simple rules about it, gravity supports and sustains me freely, easily, naturally. Gravity, like breath, gives in perfect measure exactly what I need, exactly when I need it.

I consider the life lessons that breath and gravity grant me as the Sun assumes accession. I am grateful that the dawn reminds me that everything is possible. Nothing is impossible.

I take a pause for a moment to appreciate and consider those blessings I may have taken for granted.

I take a pause for a moment to appreciate and consider those blessings I may have taken for granted. I invite you to look around your life and notice the blessings and bounty you have that may have escaped your notice. They may normally be too small or insignificant to notice. Take a few moments to pay attention and consider what little blessings you may find.

You might notice as you do this hope comes into your heart. Your mind is ignited by the possibility. This whole day is available to you for celebration and appreciation.

In gratitude, you are able to put your burdens down. With gratitude, you can focus on what you have. You may be surprised by what you notice you already have of what you need. You may realize that what is easily available to you right now, in the hope and promise of the morning is enough for today.

If that is true for you let go your constant striving and let yourself relax. Let yourself just be. Be calm and at peace. Trust that the lesson of your breath (that what you need is exactly available in the amount that you need it) is true for all of your life.

As you take the time to appreciate what you have, you may realize that you have much more than you need. You may realize it is time to release what you no longer need or what no longer serves you. Let the joy of appreciating your abundance fill you. Let your gratitude fill you and flow from you as you start this new day.

This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
– Psalm 118:24 New King James Version (NKJV)

Arise and go forth into this new day with an open heart and an open mind. Leave your worries behind and leave your troubles in the past. Seize this new day with confidence.

Take your hope out into this new day and let what you need come to you freely. Then claim it when it does. Let yourself receive and remember that you are a beloved child of God. And in all things and in all ways, God is always working for what is good.

Like with your breath, life is working to give you what you need in the exact measure that you need it.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Always Have Hope in Your Heart

Genevieve Gerard

Always Have Hope in Your Heart

Hope is one of the most essential sensations you can have in life.

Hope opens you to inspiration about what you can do to bring about change and transform your life.

Hope springs into your heart as you call upon your Soul for help.

When times are troubled, remember that life and everything in it can change in just a moment. Hope reminds us of that.

Miracles are always possible, and change is inevitable. Let hope guide your thoughts to the creative vision of your dreams and then as you dare to dream, dare to do something differently.

Believe that all things are working toward what is good and right for you in your life.

It may not be possible to see or to know the consequences of any action or event. Indeed, the law of physics that declares that every action causes a reaction is undeniably true; however, those consequences are beyond your ability to view. While you are in the midst of action all you can do is what feels right. You can do the best you can base on the information available at the time and then hope for the best.

Hope is a kind of impersonal prayer to which the Universe responds based upon the fact that “energy follows thought.” Hope is the antidote to worrying (which I often call praying for what you don’t want.)

When you hope you are opening to new possibilities that are emerging before you today, possibilities you may have never considered before now. It is through the power of hope that you let yourself dream, and through the power of faith that you dare to do things differently.

What is impressive is that no matter how dire things may appear, change is inevitable. Hope helps you empower that change. Dreaming and daring is a partnership. To ignite hope to bring about the change you are dreaming requires doing and taking action.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
– Bernard Williams

Tomorrow is always a new day. Empowering your day with hope activates your creative imagination and opens you to inspiration. Inspiration is a signature of your Higher Self. Then it is time for your whole self to take your creative power to do something.

Do Something Differently

Doing something, especially doing something different than you have done it before sets off a chain reaction of circumstances and events that are different. Doing something differently may be frightening but being frightening does not make it wrong. The key to doing things differently is to do it with hope in your heart which activates your mind to dare, to dream, and to do.

Change is not only possible it is inevitable. When you activate your life with hope in your heart, you empower your mind and your Soul to allow new opportunities to emerge.
– Genevieve Gerard

Activate Hope With Inspiring Affirmations

Click play icon below to listen to me reading these affirmations to you (under 2 minutes).

To inspire and activate the power of hope in your life you might try a few affirmations. You might want to put them up where you can see them throughout the day, on your mirror or at your desk where you can see them and remind yourself to hope.

With hope in my heart,
I open my life to positive changes today.

With hope in my heart,
I open my mind to see new
opportunities that are opening today.

With hope in my heart,
I let myself be creative and inspired to
find new solutions to old problems.

Give yourself 5 minutes to record any thoughts or impressions you may have had after making these three affirmations.

Last, let yourself sit quietly, as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light, and daydream for just another 5 minutes. While you are doing this remember not to limit your dreams by your reality. Just let yourself dare to dream.

Then return to your life and your day empowered and enlightened by hope.

Remember to Always Have Hope in Your Heart!

Namaste,

Genevieve

7 Mind-Body Techniques to Increase Your Feelings of Confidence and Success

7 Mind-Body Techniques to Increase Your Feelings of Confidence and Success

This article is about using the mind-body-spirit relationship to enhance happiness and increase your feelings of confidence and success.

In the past I have discussed how smiling enhances happiness.

Today I would like to expand on my smiling concept to offer you some additional powerful techniques to help you increase your feelings of confidence and success and live the life of your dreams.

Click to listen to me reading this post to you (15 minutes).

Mind-Body-Spirit Relationship

These are tools that are a dynamic part of your mind-body relationship and work on a physiological level using the inherent power of your autonomic nervous system to give you greater success in your life.

There is within you simple but miraculous ways in which your mind, body, and your emotions work together. It is important to understand the ways that they can work together to your advantage and empowerment.

More and more as science can reveal the subtle interrelationship of body, emotions, mind, and spirit, we are beginning to understand how much of what we experience in life is within our command.

Science has been constantly unfolding with new studies and research into the amazing ways that your state of being responds to synthesis and integration of the mind with the body and the emotions, by signaling the production of endorphin’s, serotonin, and other mood-enhancing and mind-expanding chemicals.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt

I first became fascinated with the ways that the mind could influence the body, and the body could influence the mind and emotions when a new technology called biofeedback came into my awareness.

The biofeedback technology was so amazing to me that I became one of the first to learn and become certified in this emerging field in the 70’s. I am not by nature scientific, so to learn to understand the physiological and psychological implications of this inter-relationship was challenging. I was then, and continue to be, deeply committed to understanding how life can be empowered to bring greater success and joy.

Fortunately, in the subsequent 40 years since I struggled to learn how the body, the mind, the emotions, and the spiritual aspect of man worked together many scientists have used this technology to study and reveal to humanity the power of this integration of the self. My many years of counseling people through catastrophic injuries and debilitating pain demonstrated time and time again the ways that this integration and synthesis could be used to resolve and empower an individual life.

New studies are emerging all the time from the scientific community that prove how these parts of human nature can work together to enhance and empower the individual.

Recent studies on the physiological advantages of meditation on physical health and a sense of well-being have confirmed what has often been taught in the Ageless Wisdom. Your body works in synergy with what you think and what you feel. It uses the signals of body language to integrate feelings of happiness and success.

Gain Mastery Over Your Life

Today, I would like to reveal how you can use some of these new discoveries to gain mastery over your life. What is known as the autonomic nervous system is perhaps the most amazing part of your anatomy, yet it is something you most likely rarely even consider. It enables you to breathe in and breathe out without requiring conscious thought. And when engaged consciously can have a profound impact on your state of being.

This is true in helping you enter a meditative state of consciousness and in helping you to relax and manage your life’s stress. As simple an act as moving your breath from the autonomic to conscious awareness can have subtle influences in how your whole being responds. The relationship between the glandular production, hormones, and all of the very subtle signals that are sent based upon a specific action and stimulus are amazing.

There are a wealth of studies available if you are interested. It is fascinating to explore how these autonomic responses can be used to help you achieve your goals. Beyond the power of breath, which spiritual teachers have used for thousands of year is the intricate response of certain physical actions, such as a smile, to the impact and influence of your body language and how that signals emotional responses. Your thoughts, especially your affirmations and expressions of intention combine to help bring into manifestation what you desire.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.
– Napoleon Hill

I recently saw a T.E.D. talk that had been viewed more than 55 million times, called “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” by a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School. It discussed the increase in performance and confidence in people who went into a job interview after having performed body power poses associated with victory and success. Watch your body language shapes who you are and try the power pose technique.

As I listened to the T.E.D. talk, I related it to a subject on which I often write, “Energy Follows Thought” and on the quote, I often refer to “As a man thinketh so shall he be.”

That these success postures can influence you to be more successful reaffirms the mind-body relationship.

As I suggested in my blog “How Smiling Enhances Happiness,” I encourage you to experiment with and read more about the mind-body relationship.

Below are seven free no-tech life hack techniques
to get you started:

The 7 Mind-Body Techniques To Increase Your Feelings of Confidence and Success

Pick a positive affirmation that asserts the truth of what you are striving to achieve and repeat it throughout the day.

Create a positive “I Am…” statement that confirms and affirms what you desire and say it to yourself each time you look at yourself in a mirror.

Imagine the feelings of having accomplished what you want. What would people be saying to you? What would they now think about you and your accomplishment?

Consider what the posture that someone of this level of confidence and success would have. How would they enter into a room?

With your body language signal (by your actions) the emotional state you want to achieve. YES!

Open your attention to this exact moment in time by putting your past behind you and opening yourself to the unlimited possibility and potential of what is now about to manifest.

Get up and move your body to celebrate achieving a goal to solidify the sense of joy and well-being that comes from fulfilling an accomplishment. My dear friend calls this the “Happy Dance.”

You may wish to say your positive affirmation while you look at yourself in a mirror. This is especially effective with the “I Am” statements. You may wish to listen often throughout the day to a specific affirmation by streaming it and replaying it to reactivate your sense of the truth of what you are affirming. This is powerful way of bringing your affirmations into manifestation.

You can empower yourself to create the life of your dreams by using my five-star rated “Awaken To Success” Affirmations For Abundance CD-MP3 available on Amazon and iTunes.

Observe how affirming and identifying yourself with the accomplishment you desire affects your feelings. Notice how your posture and your facial expressions shift and change in subtle ways.

Experiment with celebrating your successes with a “Happy Dance.” How does that make you feel?

You may wish to adjust your physical posture throughout the day to reflect the sense of purpose and success you are striving to achieve.

Do these little activities throughout the day and then incorporate them into your everyday routine.

By incorporating the integrative functions of your body, by activating activity and production of the autonomic nervous system with positive thoughts and expression of joyful emotions, you can influence your life in positive ways.

Experiment with what works for you, what makes you feel empowered and happy.

Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes.
– Amy Cuddy, Professor Harvard Business School

This is your life. You have been given a vast array of tools and techniques to help you achieve your purpose. Use what works for you and incorporate it into your life and keep your mind open to the new opportunities and new possibilities that are being created in the ever emerging and evolving future.

Celebrate! Create! Enjoy!

Namaste,

Genevieve
