Muse Upon This:
If you want something to change, something has to change...
I am sure there is something in your life you are ready to change. Something that you know keeps you from having a life that you know you are capable of having. Maybe it is a habit it is time to release or one it is time to embrace. We often want things to be different; we feel ready to change and can see it in the future. But to do something today or even tomorrow...maybe not. In order for something to change, something has to change. What is one thing you will start doing differently, TODAY (why wait?) that will bring you closer to the extraordinary life you and I both know your are capable of having...

So, my wake up call came this week when I was contemplating the "story" of my new company, ...musélan... . The premise of the company is inspiring people to live authentically, to live our purpose in life. I know that we, the Muses, must live that authentic life (the story) (or be aware of the steps we need to take to get there and be actively taking them) in order to be models of what we are asking others to be. I realized that I was still out of balance, working too much and not restoring enough. I have heard the lesson over and over again. This time felt different. The mmm for this week spoke to me. I kept seeing a life of regular work and play hours as in the future, when the company was stronger. It is time to make the change today. I am about to turn off my computer and it will not be on again until Monday morning...I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon contemplating what it means to leave something to another day!
Well, honestly every week I think of something new that I want to change in order to change. The new plan of the week is such an ideal great plan. So the change this week is based on a horoscope I read. It was about responsibilities. It made reference to the fact that committing to your responsibilities is showing gratitude to the universe for your life. Instead of starting this on monday when everyone is reading this, I started this on Sunday (the day before). Talking about managing energy with grace! I cleaned the whole house, ran 4 miles and went to the grocery store and finished by 2pm and felt great. I actually didnt know what to do with the free time. There was time to play with the kids, and well, there is my next lesson. So the moral of the story is dwelling on the responsibilities of everyday life is not only energetically draining, it is also time consuming. My change is that I will embrace the "to dos" that are involved in everyday responsibilities.
It is time I use all of my knowledge of yoga and alternative health care and apply it to myself! Use specific yoga poses to help relax and rejuvenate. Use different types of body treatments to keep the relaxation and rejuvenation going! I help other people with this all the time - now I'm going to start focusing it on myself. Doing this will bring me closer to my extraordinary life and I'm worth it!
hmmmm, I don't know yet. hmmmmm
I am contemplating what I changes need to occur in order for me to live my authentic life but it seems there are many "Obstacles" in my path. I will now contemplate how to live my authentic life in spite of, alongside of, because of, these "Obstacles"....I wonder where this contemplation will take me....? First I need to figure out what is really and truly an "Obstacle". Stay tuned!

My focus for this year is being grateful and living in the present. In order for this change to occur, I need to BE in the present, get out of my mind more, and take in what the universe has for me. I need to live the knowledge!
It is a daily, sometimes hourly task.

Initially I read this musing and didn't get it. I mean, it didn't immediately resonate with me. Not that I didn't need to change anything, I just couldn't think (really, I had to read it 3 or 4 times).
Then I read Laura's reply. My instant reaction was that her change was about the opposite of what I needed. Not that I don't "work" or do a lot, but sometimes I feel like I'm just doing busy work, putzing as I call it, and not being focused. Other times, I think I feel almost lazy and that what I really need is a fire lit under me.
A number of things are coming up so I know there is something there. I just still haven't figured out what it is that needs change.
Dreaming without restrictions! I still find myself putting "reality" restrictions on my dreams. I read this quote this last weekend and it spoke to me.... t: "It's amazing how easy it is to pursue your dream when you remove certain obstacles - like common sense." Michele Shapiro
