What’s Taking Up Space?

Having ones space is a recurring theme I write about. We lose and get back our space both energetically and physically every day. When you become aware you have lost your space by either giving it up or it was invaded, you are receiving an important message.

The message is about where you are working, what picture still needs to be cleared or resistance that you are harboring. If you aren’t paying attention to having lost your space, I guarantee that at some point it will become SO clear that you’ll begin paying attention. The good news is that if you lose your space you CAN get it back!

Your space and energy are valuable…

Having your space on an energetic and physical level means you’ll have more energy to create with and more space to have your creations manifest and become real.  Losing your space is a blessing in disguise. The blessing is that when you’ve lost your space it points you in the direction of what you need to work on for growth & expansion despite how it feels at the time.

When your physical space needs remodeling, while going through it there is chaos and you can only imagine what it will be when finished. Everything is out-of-place and yet you wouldn’t dream of discontinuing the project in mid-stream  to live in the chaos. You do what needs to be done to finish so you can move back in to a sparkly new space that feels really good!

Do you reclaim your energetic space in the same way?

On an energetic level if you lose your space there’s no better way to get it back than meditation. Call it inner reflection or introspection if you like. 🙂 You wouldn’t dream of living in the middle of a construction project until it is finished. There’s no space. It’s not safe. You’re pretty smart as spirit so if you’ve lost your space why would you want to be in your body if it’s not safe with all that stuff that isn’t YOU?

Once you have noticed that you’ve lost your space acknowledge it then uncover the reason you lost it in the first place. If your focus remains on all the places you don’t have space it will be difficult to re-own because you are then  giving up space to the picture of not having your space! This is called being STUCK.

Start asking questions to find your answers. Are someone else’s belongings still in your home? Are you holding ‘space’ for someone else? Is there a painful memory (picture) from your childhood you are still feeding energy into which takes up the space that joy and happiness could be in? If you are using  LOA is there a space to manifest your creations? If not, what can you let go of or clean out to make that space?

Everything on this earth needs space and room to grow!

The more of your space you own and occupy, the more you can grow and expand it! Think of it this way. Say you’ve planted a garden and it becomes covered up with weeds and debris. It gets no oxygen or sunlight and very little water. It has no space to grow. It is literally being choked and trampled by everything covering it. When you clear out the weeds and debris it gets what it needs to grow and bear fruit!

If you’ve lost your space, take it back and own it! Consider the invasion a blessing to point you in the right direction. Create the space for more abundance,  joy, love and happiness to fill your world! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

Get your GOAL On!

Lately I’ve felt a bit like a hamster on a wheel. The wheel keeps on spinning but it seemingly goes nowhere. All the meditation tools and clairvoyant abilities at my disposal and yet I still can’t help wondering what’s the purpose. My heart is full of joy & purpose when I teach a meditation class, lead a Weight Watchers meeting or do a reading and watch the power of healing at work. It is unbelievably fulfilling to help someone find or sell a home. After all home is where the heart is!

I get up each day looking forward to what will magically unfold throughout the day but something has been missing. I’ve been so busy doing for others and making a living that I’ve gotten somewhat lost in the process. Even though I meditate daily and focus on each task with enthusiasm there is always a mountain of work still to be done and that mountain weighs on me so once I finish a task I’m on to the next one. Believe me when I say I do a lot in a day but it bothers me when something isn’t finished. With no end in sight even the things I’m passionate about haven’t brought the joy I’m used to feeling. Sound familiar?

Today I connected with my answer! With all the love that I feel for my clients and students, all the coaching and “goal” speak I realized that my focus is on helping others and making a living BUT making a living is not making a life. I haven’t had a personal goal to work towards and look forward to!!! You certainly can’t reach a goal if you don’t have one!

It’s not that I don’t set goals but there are times when I get so caught up in daily circumstances that I forget to include FUN goals like vacations, massages or taking a class in something I’m interested in. In other words setting a goal to nurture my SPIRIT! Yes, every now and again I need a reminder…after all I’m human! 🙂 Perhaps this blog will not only be a reminder to myself but a reminder to you as well! Time to re-evaluate and set some goals. The best way to Get your Goal On is to put your Goal SMARTs in place!

S=SPECIFIC Make sure your goal is specific! The more specific the better! See it clearly, write it down, day-dream about it. Feel how you want to feel when you get it. Then let it go and let the universe bring it back to you!

M=MEASURABLE Put your goal out there so you really KNOW in no uncertain terms that you are achieving it! In other words something you can actually see, touch and/or feel as it relates to you personally. Be aware of the small changes that happen each day as you move forward toward your goal.

A=ATTAINABLE Create goals that are a stretch but within your reach! Also make sure the goal is within your power and control. For instance, if your goal is to win the lottery, that is not necessarily within your control.  Setting small goals along the way are a great way to measure your successes keeping you focused and moving toward your end goal.

R=REALISTIC Is your goal really YOURS? Make your goal something that is realistic and a good fit for your life and lifestyle. If you want to create BIG changes in your life you may want to set smaller goals that are achievable. Setting a goal to run a marathon (26.2 miles) IS realistic and attainable BUT if you’ve never run one mile it might be worth your while to set a goal of running one mile first! If your goal isn’t realistic you probably won’t continue to work toward it will you?

T=TIMELY As you decide your goals, set a time frame. This gives you something to work towards and keeps your goal in focus. If you don’t create a (realistic) time frame for it, it’s too vague and the ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ syndrome takes effect. A time frame also gives your day-to-day duties (and YOU) a purpose so you are living your life ON purpose.

So how about it? Get back to living your life on purpose! All it takes a a little “goal smarts”! Are you ready? Join me and LET’S GET IT ON!!! Your GOAL that is! What did you think I meant? 😉 ~Shine Your Light Debbie
