Wisdom To Shift & Shape Your Life
As I’ve recently entered a new decade of life, I started to think back over what I’ve experienced, achieved, and learned. I feel like I’ve definitely gleaned some wisdom that I’d love to share with you in this post. Here are some gems that have helped shift and shape my life:
Age, race, gender, and social standing do not equate worth.
Stay tapped into the youthfulness you carry inside - keep being curious, play, create, and have fun.
No matter how old you are, you can always shift your mindset.
Your emotions are your GPS to your thoughts. When you can shift your thinking, you will be able to shift how you feel.
Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean that you have to accept that mentality. I'm referring to the “I’m too old," "Everything hurts," "I don’t have the energy," and "What use am I now?” type of thinking.
Learn from your elders. They’ve lived through a lot and can give you some precious insight that may even save you time and pain.
There is no reason to carry the energetic weight of your past. You are meant to heal, to release.
Everything is changing, nothing stays the same, so why fight it?
Sometimes an ending can really, really suck (relationships, careers, etc.), but there’s always a next chapter, and you’re the one holding the pen, so write a good one.
Get out and experience as much as you can - this world has so much to offer.
By stretching your comfort zone, your world will expand and your life will be enriched.
Continue learning - dive into what interests you.
Question everything. You were given that amazing brain for a reason, so put it to use.
You don’t have forever; do what you want to now. If you leave it to someday, there's very little chance it will happen.
You can either live life or let life live you. Which do you choose?
You’re a human being, not a human doing; take time to just BE.
Incorporate the 2 M’s: Meditation - there are so many different ways to meditate, find what works for you; and Movement - keep moving your body, especially in this age of being glued to screens.
Humaning is hard; some days it’s really freaking hard. Ask for help, find support, and give yourself grace. You’re doing the best you can.
It’s none of your business what others think of you, but it is your business what you think of yourself, which is why it’s super important to form a really good relationship with yourself.
Take charge of your life. I love the following quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" and “Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be again.”
Gratitude is a vibration changer, but it isn’t about saying I’m grateful for "X," it’s about really feeling it.
Connect with your Soul and with your intuition. That's where you'll find your authenticity and your inner wisdom.
"Where attention goes, energy flows." - James Redfield. It's important to pay attention to your words, thoughts, and actions. What you're really focused on is what you’re bringing into your reality.
Did you know that we can only see 5% of the universe as matter (1) and that the human eye perceives just 0.0035% of visible light? There is so much more to life than meets the eye.
We are not a body that has a soul; we are a Soul that has a body. We are a Soul who decided to human for a while.
As a Soul, we are a spark of the Divine - we come from unconditional love.
Look for the magic in each day - the more you look, the more you’ll find.
Are there any from this list that jump out for you? Are there any that really resonate with you? What would you add to this list? What wisdom have you gleaned from your life experiences? What have you learned that you feel is share-worthy?
