July 1^st 2015 – What’s happened on this day?

First of all Happy Canada Day! On July 1, 1867, the nation was officially born when the Constitution Act joined three provinces into one country: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province, which then split into Ontario and Quebec. However, Canada was not completely independent of England until 1982. The holiday called Dominion Day was officially established in 1879, but it wasn't observed by many Canadians, who considered themselves to be British citizens.

In Bulgaria, there is a tradition called July Morning dating from the hippy period in 1980s and maybe as far back as the 1970s. Young (and not so young) people from all over the country travel (often hitchhike) to the Black Sea coast to meet the first sun rays on the 1st of July

Some other useful (? ) facts that you can impress your family and friends with include:

15 years ago  Westlife was No 1 in the chart with Flying Without Wings

Today would have been Princess Diana's 54^th Birthday .

Letting Go

Sometimes we all need to be able to let go of things that bother us.  However it is sometimes delicate matters that upset us and we find ourselves going round and round mentally and emotionally struggling with a negative and repeated loop that sends us into emotional turmoil.

It disrupts our moods and affects our happiness, as we feel anxiety over and over turning into upset, fear and anger churn around.  Perhaps we wish that we had said "such and such" to this person and that we did not feel in control at the time causing us to feel intimidated or threatened by this incident that made us feel so uncomfortable.

We also probably feel we must now do something to put this matter to rest. Only to realise that if we do, the outcome could make the situation worse.  There is an exercise you can do to let go of unwanted thoughts that make us feel uncomfortable.

Imagine you are sitting on a chair with a glass wall divide in front of you. Make the scene pleasant in your surroundings. Beautiful countryside all around you as you sit on your chair.

Now see the person or the people that have caused this anxiety and bring them in to sit opposite you on the other side of the glass wall divide.

You now can say everything that you wish to say to them without risk of them reacting. They can not talk to you they can only listen. 

They are not able to intimidate you they remain still and expressionless as you continue to pour out everything that has bothered you.

When you have finished speaking you can ask them to leave and watch them meekly get up.

Imagine that the Universe has heard all of this. Let it go with Love for your self and for the new opportunities that will be given to you by giving this up to the Universe to take care of so you don't have to.

Allow yourself some time to breath and relax as you slowly let your self to come back into the here and the now. Knowing that this has been handed over to the Universe and that you took control by facing this situation and dealing with it.

Looking and feeling good, for yourself or for others?

I feel we all live in a very demanding time, which I feel affects all ages, especially in this current climate where saving and keeping our money is priority to over spending, But we all love and need retail therapy buying ourselves or a loved one that little treat, and we get such a buzz when we buy something new makes us feel good, alive, in a way a little tonic if going through a difficult time.

When we do buy especially fashion, and focus on our appearance we can all too easily loose ourselves get carried away even, is for our benefit, or what we think others think, adding to the financial strain? This is a big topic to discuss as it uproots many emotions and feelings but once we detach a little and clear our boundary and think and feel in our own space , you can focus on what you would like and allow to be yourself with out the added pressure from others .

It also pulls our energy in when we start to prioritise ourselves and not worry what others think, and to display your personality, your individuality, and be proud to be the wonderful you! Now this doesn't just relate to cloths and new outfits, but anything for you, even home and garden treating yourself to that little treat which makes you feel good in your environment, without the guilt!

Another emotion dropping into the hat, perhaps you have energy's around you that makes you feel guilty? When out and about shopping, perhaps you’re a parent and instantly feel the family comes first, which yes, is naturally how things are, but so is your happiness and all can benefit.
This similar topic has been discussed on the show where looking good and feeling good is fantastic if it is for you, rather than pleasing others and not being happy, if your actions and choices are dictated by those around you, then we loose ourselves and not feel in control and enjoying your life.

So, stop and think for awhile, what have you done for yourself lately? Are you being allowed to get that new outfit you had your eye on or that fabulous new handbag? Or for the gents, enjoying their past times? Is how you look the way you would like to look? Or is someone moulding you to how they see is best? That's just when we need a little space, clear boundaries, and to feel confident in your own energy and do what you feel is for the best. Pleasing you, rather than pleasing others and keeping others happy, keep your identity. To then feel uplifted, happy and centered, ready for what your day brings.

Love & Light.

Stuck between a job and a relationship?

Are you on the cusp of an exciting new career or the brink of a new direction? Has an exciting opportunity presented itself – and left you feeling as though you can’t step forward? Something so wonderful can still feel daunting, and make you feel as though you’re being taken out of your comfort zone. This can even lead to you to feel pressured and doubting of yourself. Many mixed emotions can be stirred by the prospect of a job change or career enhancement – perhaps we try to prevent ourselves from moving on because we prefer the security of our old ways. Sometimes we may even worry that an exciting new beginning could spark a ripple effect through our family lives and relationships, causing tension and threatening the connection between ourselves and our loved ones.

There’s no doubt that new beginnings can throw up all sorts of complicated emotions; but it is also a test of the support around you among your family, friends or partner. It’s important to try and take these sorts of changes in your stride. You can take those around you with you, so that everyone gains and no one feels left behind. Success can improve things for all concerned; uplifting life for everyone around you. It even gives you the opportunity to involve those around you in your decision making, so that they feel as much an important part of your life as ever. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in our routine and work life, without realising that all that concentration on success may mean we’ve been shutting our loved ones out and isolating ourselves.

By keeping open, clear communication and involving others around you in your new beginnings, a new start can benefit all. There’s no need to feel torn between a relationship and an exciting job opportunity – instead, strive for a healthy balance and share your new experiences. If you’re a parent, your children could share and be a part of the exciting new journey your work path may be taking, leaving you feeling whole and supported, excited about your new prospects and confident.

If faced with important decisions, always trust their timing – nothing is brought to us without reason, so trust that everything will fall into its right and perfect place.

Reflect on your options, choices and circumstances – once everything falls into place, things will take off. It doesn’t need to be a dug of war between your job and your relationships if you are able to prioritise everything in your life as important. It’s all about balance.


Love & Light,

Carolyn
