At Each Moment You Decide

At Each Moment You Decide

Read At Each Moment You Decide by Genevieve Gerard

I love mornings.

There is magic in each morning. No other time of the day is so rich with promise.

Just think, this day has never been before; it is unique.

What is possible today has never been possible before.  Whatever has happened in your past is NOW over.  You are free.  You can lay your burden down and release it into the past where it belongs.

The only power it has over you is what you choose to give it.  You can, in the magic of this morning and the magic of this moment, start anew.  This is the power of the dawn.

To claim this power, you may have some things you need to do.  You may need to forgive yourself.  You may need to forgive someone else.  Whatever forgiveness is required is possible.

Claim the magic of this morning to open your heart and your mind to the unlimited potential of this day.  This day has never been here before.  It is just NOW emerging and being created.

The ideas and solutions to life’s mysteries that are revealed to you today belong only to this moment and are filled with your co-creative power.  What you think of in the magic of the morning takes form and substance through the laws of life that “energy follows thought.”

You are a child of God imbued with the spark of Divine Light that gives you the power in your thoughts to control and create your reality.  You are, of all of the creation, the only one given the power of co-creation.  That is the miracle of what it means to be a human being.

The choice is yours.  Make of this day what you will.  Create with this day what you wish. In each moment you get to decide.

Joy is yours for the taking.

What is most surprising about this miraculous morning is you can create whatever you need.  If you need to suffer, you can suffer.  If you need fear, you can paralyze yourself with fear.

Today is an adventure in your experience of life.

All of the drama that life contains can come into your day,
for good or ill, by your will.
        – Genevieve Gerard

You might ask “why would I create pain and sorrow.”  And, that is certainly a good question to ask yourself.  “Why would I choose to suffer paralyzing fear?”  “Why wouldn’t I choose anything but joy, success, or happiness?”  The pain, sorrow and the failures you experience can provide valuable lessons that have a profound impact on your life.

These things may seem to be just happenstance, the accumulation of circumstances beyond your control.  And you can cloak yourself in the illusions of life that make situations and circumstances seem beyond your power to control or influence.  You choose whether these moments give you comfort or excuses that relieve you of the responsibility for your life.

In the magic of morning, I invite you to let the darkness fall from your eyes as the Light comes into being.  You are a miracle of creation infused with a spark of the Divine.  You are the Son of Man who is a co-creator with the creator.

This can be both a great blessing and a great responsibility.  What you do with this day matters.  What you create with your thoughts have consequences.  They may be unintentional consequences or very intentional consequences; the choice is yours.

There is in every day and every circumstance two possibilities.  There’s a positive side and a negative side and at each moment you decide.
           – Bernie Gunther (High Cards)

What will you do with the magic of this moment?

What will you choose for this as yet unformed day brimming with potential and unclaimed possibilities? What will you create with this formless day that lies before you with no footprints yet upon it?

This moment, this opportunity has never been before.  Life can change in the twinkling of an eye.  All that has ever come before this time can be safely tucked into the past.  Its time is now over.

It can only affect you if you let it if you cling to it.  Come into NOW.

Your life and your future are being molded into being what you choose NOW.  What you think and how you use your co-creative power is the creative force that shapes your emerging experience.

Seize from this magical moment the power to take control of the day and do great things with it.  Free yourself as you forgive and forget every limitation that has ever held you captive.

Calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light of the new day into the new being you are becoming with the magic of this morning.  This day has never been before and will never come again.  Make the best of it, take the best of it.

It is NOW and in the NOW there is a great power.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.
           – Eckhart Tolle

Unleash the power in your mind to claim the unlimited potential of the present.  That is the magic of each morning.  That is the promise of every new day.

Align yourself with your Life’s purpose.  New possibilities are revealing themselves to you today.  New thoughts, ideas you have never thought before, emerge from the creative power of your mind.

Open the space for new opportunities to come to you today.  Let the Law of Attraction attract to you all that you need for success.

Shed from your thoughts any limiting beliefs.  Clear from your being all that has ever held you back.  This is a new day; let yourself find a new way.

This is the magic contained in the morning.  This magic is available for you to claim today, right here, right now.

As the old saying reminds us, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Make it the best of your life.” – anonymous.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

A Perfect Moment In Time

A Perfect Moment

Experience A Perfect Moment In Time by GG

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

Have you ever experienced a perfect moment in time?

In a perfect moment you are released from fear with the full faith and confidence that you are OK exactly as you are.

You are freed from worrying, striving and stress, relaxing into what is and not trying to control life but letting life just unfold before you.

In a perfect moment, time seems to stand still. It is a moment when your heart is filled with feelings of love and your consciousness seems to expand to include a sense of Oneness with all of creation, with all of life. It is a moment of utter peace and complete joy.

Within a perfect moment are so many life lessons we can embrace and use to empower us when perfection seems out of our reach. In our experience of a perfect moment is a mind that is calm, not trying to do anything, not trying to change anything, but accepting with gratitude and appreciation what is available right here and right now.

In a perfect moment you are just being, and being is just perfect. If we ponder what is special and unique about that perfect moment we realize that it is free from the recriminations and judgments with which we so often burden our life. The flow of judgments in the form of “I should have, I could have, I ought to” as a part of our self-talk and mind chatter are ways we can deprive ourselves of joy. They are habits of thought that are a toxic poison. These self-judging thoughts take us out of the present into a consciousness of what never has been and never will be and is NOT real.

This illusionary standard of “could have”, “should have”, “ought to” holds us up to an imaginary standard of life and by so doing deprives us of the spontaneous joy and appreciation that is available to us when we let ourselves receive it instead of “shoulding” on ourselves.

We can free ourselves from this habit of killing our joy by becoming conscious of our thoughts and by making a conscious decision to focus our thoughts on editing and eliminating the often negative habitual thoughts that start with those illusionary phrases.

This technique of thought monitoring and thought editing is very powerful and can be life changing and life empowering. It is a way of harnessing the amazing power of our mind to bring into manifestation what we desire and claiming our role as a co-creator in our life. It is a way to become the director of your life rather than only an actor.

Whereas, statements such as “I should have” or “I could have” are dis-empowering and illusionary, statements in our self-talk of “I can” or “I will” are very empowering and start an automatic chain reaction to bring the plan into being.

Training your mind to empower your life requires your conscious intention to use the power of your mind for good in your life instead of letting your thoughts harm you by self-defeating, judgmental self-talk. Just this simple shift in your thought patterns and thought habits will create a very profound difference in your life. A difference you can feel and see quickly.

Love the moment and the energy of that moment
will spread beyond all boundaries.
          – Corita Kent

Observing your thought, just monitoring and accessing the content of your thoughts is a good place to begin. When you do this you might be surprised at how much of your “mind chatter” is filled with these toxic patterns. When you have observed the frequency of these damaging illusionary phrases, take a moment to consider how these thoughts make you feel. For most of us, it is tense, anxious and disheartened.

Then, as an experiment take just 1 minute and observe your thoughts and each time you catch yourself thinking the “coulda, shoulda” thoughts, consciously with intention, replace those thoughts with “I can and I will” thoughts.

Now how do you feel; excited, hopeful, powerful?

Thoughts have power. That truth can be used either for you or against you.

You can, by harnessing the power of your thoughts, unlock a powerful tool that both enhances your success and increases your joy. Since most of us do very little to consciously control our thoughts that power is left underutilized. By bringing your thoughts into consciousness and by choosing what you think, you are making a shift that will change your life in so many ways.

To take the reins of your mind and use its vast power in your life to create the life that you desire is the first step on a journey to success and joy. This you can realize, this you can do when you consider what you can learn when you have “a perfect moment in time”.

I invite you and encourage you to harness the amazing power of your mind and your thoughts to bring to you the life transformation that you desire.

There is a positive side and a negative side and
at each moment you decide.
          – Bernie Gunther (High Cards)

Now is the perfect moment to empower your life with joy.

Now is the time to experience and live in that perfect moment!

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

The Happiness Habit

The Happiness Habit

Read the Happiness Habit by Genevieve Gerard

So much of our thoughts and our behaviors are habitual that bringing our awareness to what we think, and what we feel is important.

Observing our thoughts, our feelings from an objective, dispassionate perspective is an important task. I call this role, the dispassionate observer.

From the centered place of awareness that is dispassionately observing what you are thinking, what you are feeling and how you are acting, you can become the director of your life rather than a reactive observer.

Observing with awareness, without judgment, is the first step to a level of awareness that enhances your consciousness and gives you the keys to creating the life that you desire.

Your first step is to decide that you choose to be happy. Then you can begin to build into your life what makes you happy. Happiness is something you bring to life more than something that happens to you.

How you react to what happens to you is often much more important than what actually happens to you.
        – Genevieve Gerard

In that process of reaction lays the power to choose to create your life or be a victim of your life. In that process of choice, a habit can play a vital role. Becoming aware of your thoughts and your feelings is an essential part of harnessing your power to be who you wish to be and how you wish to be perceived by others.

Happiness Habit by Genevieve Gerard - Girl Skipping With Smile


Biological research and biochemical research shows us that our subtle physical responses impact our body, and our mind and emotions. For example, smiling, releases the biochemical endorphins and hormones that are associated with happiness. Creating a habit of putting on a happy face and smiling begins to create the feelings of happiness.

Old songs such as, “Smile and the World Smiles with You” and the peppy tune Of “Put on a Happy Face” all provide a clue to this “Secret” of happiness that you can use for your wellbeing.

A smile, given to another is most often greeted naturally with a smile, so in this way you are sharing happiness into the world by developing your own happiness.

If you add to your quest to build happiness into a habit in your life, by being consciously aware of your unconscious negative “mind chatter” and choose to monitor and then harness the power of your mind and the power of your thoughts, you are well on your way. Again, using the technique of the dispassionate observer to acknowledge what your mind chatter is spewing out and then, make a conscious decision to edit and correct negative thinking into positive intended thinking you are well on your way to being the creator (not just observer) of your experience and building a habit of happiness.

A brief poem by an old friend of mine, Bernie Gunther says “There’s a positive side and negative side and at each moment you decide.” By deciding to be happy, to be hopeful, and to harness the power of your thoughts you have taken an important and vital step to living a happier and more joyous life.

Using your body in ways that stimulate the biochemistry to work for your conscious choice to be happy, then monitoring and controlling your thoughts to positive and hopeful messages to yourself are ways to bring into your life a mastery of your body-mind relationship that not only increases your happiness but reduces your stress.

These little techniques of the habit of happiness are powerful and life transforming. The more you use them, the easier they become and the happier you become. They are a simple yet effective way to change your life by changing your mind and your habits that use the integration of our mind, our emotions, our body and ultimately our creative higher self to transform our lives. Happiness is a state of mind, you decide.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard
