Lesson 70: Check In WEEK 10 — Defining Balance

This week we began exploring the idea of Balance, particularly as it applied to our financial lives.
Did you shift any ideas you had about Balance this week?
Did your perspective on anything change?
Overall, how balanced is your Money life, and more importantly, how do you feel about that?

Once again I get to the lesson review and I don't really remember what I came up with earlier in the week. So, I'm not sure if I shifted any ideas about balance. I don't think so. But reading this last question brings up some anger, so clearly I need to answer it.

The thought that originally came with the anger was something like "I don't want to answer this again!" Geez, calm down

How balanced is my money life? It's getting more balanced. I've been saying this week that I've been more yang (outward moving money) and almost no yin (stabilizing money). Which has been true. But I did mention in a post recently that, without a whole lot of thought, I started some investing. Small numbers so far, but I'm really excited about it. I'm excited to have my money doing something for me. And I've invested in a couple of different accounts. I have also started looking a little ahead and saving money for upcoming things.Again, I feel like I don't want to say it too loudly because it will be ruined somehow. But that's what I've started.

Lesson 17: Open to Transform

Image
Spend a moment examining any areas of your life where you've experienced a persistent struggle. I would say these areas include finances and body/consistent healthfulness.  Before I go to the next prompt in my course, I would like to restate the assertion I fell into in my last blog: The places where I'm stuck are places where multiple, conflicting thoughts/beliefs are fighting for the same place in my head.  Have you truly been willing to change? Obviously, in the places I've been stuck, no. Or did you perhaps want to change the circumstances without doing the internal work first? Mmmmm...I think it's more like, the fear or whatever is keeping me stuck, is at least as strong as the desire to change.  How would you describe your own Willingness to Change when it comes towards receiving greater wealth into your life? I believe I am willing to change now. Hence, doing this course. Is your emphasis more on changing circumstances and situations, or are you trul...

Lesson 21: Check In WEEK 3

I notice I am having some resistance to this week. One of the days I really enjoyed the questions. The rest of the week, I've had a bit of an internal eye roll that says something like "I love change. God, leave me alone!"  Well, it could be this stubborn insistence is part of what keeps me from changing the parts of my life that feel stuck. Let me try these questions in a fresh light... How do you resist change and how do you embrace it? When I look back over my life, I definitely have experienced and embraced change. But, there are areas that I stubbornly hold onto. One example is my evening routine, which is not particularly healthy, productive, or positive. It mostly consists of numbing activities. It's like a stake in the ground of my life that I've been thus far unwilling to pull up. Why? Well, it feel nurturing and nourishing on some level. It was my experience as a youth when my family would spend time together, so there are emotional connections ...

Let's get real

Alright, time to get real... I have been doing network marketing for one month now. When I write that, I get some movement in my abdomen. I have come to a place in the last few days where I am questioning moving forward with this company, etc, etc, etc. I recognize this for what it is: My Resistance. My resistance is quite brilliant. It has conjured many very reasonable excuses for not moving forward. One excuse, for example, is the ingredients in these products are sometimes not up to the standards that I have held in the past for products I use internally or topically. This seems like a very good excuse. A very good one, right? Is this in alignment with my beliefs? Do I agree with this? I have turned away other products for the exact same reasons in the past, and so on. I laid down in a moment of exhaustion (from my brain circling, and also from just having done some pranayama that moved energy that I'm now wrestling) and put my hands together in prayer and asked my...
