Why Not Seek Clarity +1...

Do Not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with Good.

Romans 12:21

Hello Gorgeous,

Recently I have been hearing that what you consistently focus on is drawn to you. I have read the Secret and all that jazz and understand the law of attraction, but for me the secret was to complex of an idea to apply to my life everyday. I would have to visualize, feel, and act. It  just seemed a little far fetched, or maybe I just had so much that I wanted to attract into my life that it became over whelming.  Well, one Sunday while catching segments of  Super Soul Sunday I caught a segment of Oprah talking to Russell Simmons about meditation. Russell discussed how meditation has increased his the clarity and focus. He told Oprah that he made it a habit to meditate and do yoga each day. No matter what happened in his busy entrepreneurial life he shut every thing down each day to seek clarity and focus through meditation. During these times he say's that he can clearly see possibilities, opportunities, solutions, and new ventures.

Have You Ever Stopped and Searched for Peace, Clarity, or Calm?

Days get busy, hectic, chaotic. Decisions need to be made, plans implemented, deadlines meet. Babies need to be feed, school work done, significant others cared for, and friends encouraged  Each day our brains are going miles a minute. Thousands of choices are made instantly and yet you wonder where you are going to that last ounce of oomph to burn the midnight oil to see your dreams come true. It lies in the quiet moments you give your brain to sift through the chatter and help you identify those pressing things that will lead to your to your purpose. 

Make it a Habit

In stead of choosing to be consumed by stress, confusion, frustration, busyness, pain, anger or any other negative emotion choose to focus on what you want. Be consumed instead by Good.

1. Find your own personal way to seek good...pray, write, unplug, read inspirational text, meditate   or listen to your favorite song. I find it helpful to do a a little of each.

2. Schedule your clarity time, set your alarm and dig in. Start with 5-10 minutes, increase the time as you become more comfortable with your new habit.

3. Let nothing come in between you and your need to be consumed by good.

Here is a great how-to video by Gabrielle Bernstein on mediation. 

Try being consumed by good today, comment and let me know how it works for you! Share with a friend, follow, or just comeback back for another good read. Let me know if this was helpful to you!

Love,

Shameka

Dear July, I want to Thrive

Hello Gorgoeus,

We have made it past the first six months of the year. I must say that I started off the year excited about the possibilities, I wrote my goals and dedicated myself to achieving them. Yet, here I am almost seven months later asking myself what happened to the time, better yet what happened to my goals.

Thinking back to the beginning of the year I must say that disciplined has escaped me. Instead of focusing on the things I want I focused on the things I did not want such as lack and scarcity. I spent the first half of the year afraid I would not have enough, that I wasn't good enough, that I did not have enough experience, I wasn't pretty enough, or thin enough....enough, enough, enough.  I have been a little obsessed to say the least.

I'm tired of not being enough! Yes I said it! So what now?


Instead of focusing on all the things that are wrong, I plan to focus on all the things that are right, and work on the things that I want to change.
 My goal is to thrive:
My Objective for July are:

1. I want to put more time into my business
2. Connect with people in my industry
3. Create a Thrive Session
4. Relax
5. Give More
6. Be more of me
7. Start my journey to financial freedom/ and wealth building
