The Positive Choices Series

POSITIVE CHOICES STEP NINE: C IS FOR CENTERING

As Spring approaches with all of its rebirth and glory, it is a
wonderful season to get re-grounded. As the weather supports your being
outside more and in touch again with Mother Earth, it is the ideal time
to reconnect with the planet and yourself. For years, clients have found
the lagging Winter months a difficult time. There seem to be lots of
germs around, tax season can be oppressive, and people are often
impatient for the new to emerge. It is vital that you utilize new
strategies to keep you centered as you blaze innovative life trails and
experiment with positive life choices. The novelty of Additions and
Subtractions can cause you to feel adrift at sea without an anchor. You
need your anchors in times of transitions to keep you feeling whole and
vibrant. So let’ s check in with your body, mind, and spirit and see
what support you need right now. 1) Your Body­How are you feeling
overall? Any medical issues that you’ve been denying or putting off that
are compromising your energy? What health issues are you struggling with
and what kind of support will spur you onward? Do a meditative body scan
and see what calls for your attention and loving care. 2) Your Mind­Are
you bored? Are you over-stimulated? Are your thoughts positive or
negative these days? What excites you and makes you want to get out of
bed in the AM? What Subtractions need to happen right now? What are you
eager to learn? What are you dying to END? What are you looking forward
to this Spring? 3) Your Spirit­Are you feeling connected to the
Universe? Where are your disconnects? Are you getting enough time for
being in sync with the weather and the Earth? What are you longing to
experience? Is it time to see a new place or experience another wonder
of Nature? What is nurturing you? Getting anchored in yourself and in
connection with the people and places of the world is very powerful.
What are your personal anchors­people, places, things, or rituals­that
keep you connected to yourself, your sense of well-being, and your
feelings? What makes you feel secure in the world? Who or what can you
count on for support? What comforts you when you feel unnerved? Make a
list of your personal anchors so you can access them easily when you
need to. Create a special place to contemplate your anchors on a regular
basis. Notice this month what truly makes your heart sing.
