[Barbara's Daily Message] Meerkats...

If some days life feels like you are walking through treacle

And it feels like nothing you do goes right

Remember that sometimes we need to stop pushing so hard

And check we are going in the right direction

You'll know the right direction because life will be easier.

Stop regularly and do a mental meerkat inpression: check out what is going on round you, make sure you are doing what you need to and going in the right direction.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Leaving a legacy

When we finally depart this world

We leave behind a legacy

This legacy is built from our whole lives

We all get to choose what legacy we leave behind

Will your day to day behaviours result in a positive legacy?

If not, now is the time to change

Decide what you want your legacy to be and create it.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Receiving Advice

Are you listening?

Are you open minded enough to really listen?

When we have a problem or need help with something

We usually set out on a journey to find an answer

On our way we collect information, talk to people and consider what we have found

But how many times do we reject information because it doesn't fit our preconceived idea of what an answer is?

Its surprising how often this happens

The light frequently shares answers and ideas to learn and finds different ways of presenting them to us

And the light will keep presenting them until we learn and understand it

When something is being shared with you that the other person considers important

Listen

Capture the message (perhaps in a notebook)

And review the messages frequently until you are ready to hear them!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Relaxation In Living

Is life stressful?

Are you tired most of the time?

Unable to hold your concentration?

One solution is to take time out to relax and do nothing everyday

This is a great strategy to balance the stress everywhere else

But what if there was a more effective strategy?

Instead of periods of relaxation in a stressful day

How about relaxation throughout the day?

Take the concept of relaxation into everything you do

And then you can enjoy everything more.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Contributing to your Environment's energy

How do you make a difference to your environment's energy?

Bring a cheerful, happy demeanor into the lives of others

When you are out shopping or socialising you can give genuine compliments to others

Or how about picking up some litter when you are walking somewhere

All of these actions contribute to the circulation and growth of positive energy

Take positive daily actions to grow the global circle of energy.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Be Honest

Has anyone ever asked you to do something

And you've responded "I'll try"?

"I'll try" is such a non descript, non commital reply

It says many things: if, maybe, or if I get round to it or if something better doesn't come along

Be honest instead

If it is something you want to do, commit

If it isn't, say so, otherwise you'll end up with an action you don't want

Ask yourself what is worse: upsetting the person asking now, upsetting them later or stressing yourself out over it.

Stop trying and be honest with yourself and others.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Impact of ego

Does your ego keep getting you into trouble?

At times do you think to yourself: I want to be first, don't ignore me, you can't get away with that or similar?

This is your ego demanding attention, demanding external confirmation of your own importance

Given that everyone is already important 

And you are already important

Why waste your energy on creating such demands

Why waste everyone else's energy on bowing to your demands

Why risk starting an argument

Leave your ego behind and bring your true self to the world.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Support Yourself

Do you spend your time giving yourself orders?

Do this, do that, got to, should do, must do...

This way of talking to yourself is making life harder than it needs to be

What if you stopped being hard on yourself and started supporting yourself?

I can, I would like, I want to, I'm going to...

Give yourself a chance to choose

And choose to support yourself day in and day out

And make your life more enjoyable.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Stop and think

Is what you want in life worth the effort?

Is what you want in life worth the impact on your life and others?

Did you grow up with early dreams and desires for what you wanted in life?

E.g. an education, a family, own a yacht and sail round the world, buy a derelict house and rebuild it and make yourself a fortune

Or did you modify and change your early dreams as life evolved: partner, family, enjoyment, experiences?

We all learn through life and adapt

Our dreams and desires also need to be checked and updated

Remember, life is liberating when we make decisions based on our current needs as well as our dreams and desires

If your early dreams and desires don't fit anymore be happy to let them go and replace them with new ones!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Seeing in Black and White II

Black and white, two extremes for maximum contrast and clarity

Just like writing on a page, a barcode, a crossword or a newspaper

Sharing facts and figures, interpretations of life

But what about all the other colours of the world or the shades of grey inbetween?

It is these colours/shades that make up pictures of forests, fields, skies and lakes in our world

And brings depth of experience to us and a warmness and embrace from life

Delve into experience, live life in 3D rather than 2D.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Seeing in Black and White

Living in a world of black and white; right and wrong

Brings clarity, certainty and quick decision making

It also brings intolerance, rapid judgement and detachment

Living between these extremes are a rainbow of colours

That allow for flexibility, tolerance, understanding, openess and freedom

It enables discussion, compromise, the emergence of alternative solutions

These enable people to get along and grow

Join the light, living within the rainbow, and bring yourself to a more engaging and open experience.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Superhero?

So you want to be a superhero?

Rescuing others from the day to day evils of life?

What are the day to day evils of life?

Challenging situations, disagreements, day to day routine

Except these are really the light's learning opportunities in disguise

If you behave like a superhero for others you are really reinforcing their victim mentality

And preventing them from learning for themselves

How about taking on a new role: coach and supporter

Help others to do what they need to do without doing it for them.

[Barbara's Daily Message] - The Cause of Disbelief

Times when we don't believe in the path

When we don't believe in the light

When it all seems unreal

Are the times when your mind is disconnected from your soul

When our minds are left to reason, without guidance, without contentment of our true selves

We react in fear, in disbelief and in isolation

This results in our disbelief in the light and spirit

And fear of other's opinions of us

Bring yourself back to the light

The path of the light is a shared one

One with many friends and connections

Connect with your soul through meditation, tai chi, yoga or walks in nature

Embrace the path, feel accepted, valued and joyful

Love and light bring us opportunities to meet others, share their paths, learn and enjoy life.

[Barbara's Daily Message] - A core principle of life

Sometimes life is easy

Sometimes life is hard

And its always changing

One core principle of life

Is to live in your truth

At all times, in all situations

Be true to yourself

Look after your own needs

And respect everyone else's right to do the same

If we all did this, we would all be a lot happier with life.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Your Uniqueness

Waiting for other people to make you feel important or approved of?

Yes? Unfortunately you'll be waiting a long time

Recognise yourself as a wonderful, radiant spiritual being

You are already important, as equally important as everyone else

Accept yourself and value your own uniqueness.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Being Resentful II

Feeling resentful of other people?

Feeling taken advantage of?

Frustration can become resentment if not dealt with

Stop expecting others to "do right by you"

They will almost always do right by themselves

Again, welcome the differences

And practice acceptance instead of frustration

Share love and compassion with everyone instead of resentment

Love is the best medicine.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Feeling Resentful I

Do you really want everything your own way?

No, life would get boring if we have everything our own way.

But why do we get so frustrated and resentful sometimes?

Because our expectations are unrealistic:

i) We expect everything to go our way

ii) We expect everyone else to be the same as us and doing things the same way as us

iii) We also don't expect things to go wrong

Life is here to be original, to vary, to give us experiences rather than to be controlled by us

Change your point of view:

i) Expect other people to be different

ii) Expect things to vary and sometimes not match what we want

iii) Stop trying to control everything

Enjoy the variety of life!

[Barbara's Daily Message] Building Lives

When we have interactions with others

Most of us don't think about the impact we leave behind

How about leaving a positive impact and helping people to build a better day

Perhaps a compliment, a random act of kindness, donating to charity, taking action to help someone or a cause

Make your time on this planet make a difference

Build with your interactions each day to help others build their lives.

[Barbara's Daily Message] You can't win an argument

If two people are shouting, no-one is listening

It's easy in the heat of the moment to speak to hurt and say something you'll regret

If someone is shouting their emotions are raw, live and hot

In this moment share peace, love, compassion and calm

Then listen without judgement

Listen to understand

While you may not agree with what is said

Respect their voice and their right to an opinion

Show respect through listening

Let their energy flow past you rather than at you

Then listening is easier

And a conversation to build together rather than destroy can take place.

[Barbara's Daily Message] - Discover Your True Nature

The wandering of life occurs when we can't see our true nature in the universe

When we see, feel, be our true nature we can bring focus, clarity and satisfaction to our lives

Seeking our true nature brings inner wisdom, belief and a connection to life

We value who we are and what we bring to those around us

Seek your true nature through self reflection and meditation to listen to your heart and spirit in these quiet times

You can also learn through your experiences: what you love is closer to your true nature

The light will help you on your journey of discovery.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Egos

Does your ego keep getting you into trouble?

Giving you ideas: I want to be first or don't ignore me or you can't get away with that

Ideas that can start a confrontation

Our egos are prompting us to remember how important we are

But at what cost?

The cost is everyone else, remember everyone is of equal importance

So leave your ego behind and share your true self with the world.

[Barbara's Daily Message] A "Light" Life

Is daily life a fun, joyful experience most days?

Are you enjoying the experiences the world is sharing?

Does life feel like a sunny bright day or a cloudy, rainy day?

A "light" life exists as both meanings:

As light - to illuminate our life to learn

And as weight - a life without constant heavy stress

You'll know when your life is more "light" as it will have elements of both

As we progress on this journey of light our lives will transform as we learn our path.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Doing or Being II

Got your to do list ready?

Filled up your day and your family's day?

Filled up your evening?

Going without sleep to get things finished?

Getting by on less sleep

And lets do it all again

Day in, day out

Are you feeling tired yet??

You maybe a super-doer

But what is it getting you?

Just more things to do!!

Life doesn't start when you've got things done

This is life

Stop doing so much, (there will always be more to do tomorrow whatever you do today)

Start being and enjoy life instead.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Doing or Being

We all know that life is for living

But do you know what that really means?

Living today is seen as getting stuff done

But for what purpose? There will always be stuff to do

So we have a choice:

To spend forever doing

Or enjoy now as human beings not human doings.

Reduce your anxiety and boost your wellbeing today.

Has life got a bit boring?

If yes, why?

Are you stuck in a routine, a habit of life?

E.g. Food shopping every wed afternoon, bridge every tue morning

Routine can bring us security

But it doesn't take much to become repetitive

Keep the important parts of your routine

And bring variety and joy to the rest of your life.

[Barbara's Daily Message] Expectations

How often do you feel disappointed?

Life or others not met your expectations?

We develop and fix our expectations as we grow up

And then they become transparent to us in everyday life

But our expecations are always there driving our reactions

Instead of (over) reacting, look at your expectations and stop fixing them

Start flexing them and enjoy the possibilities life brings.
