Got Shift?

So today I did a fun and spontaneous thing. I bought a couple couches from a garage sale, took them to a friends house and then with the help of my sister and brother in law did a room make-over. This was not the object of game when we started but rather to put them in the room and see how the energy changed. Did I mention my friend was in Utah while all of this was happening, which made it even more exciting. Kinda like waiting for Christmas!

Some crazy things happened; once the newer couches were in the room, it was obvious the old ones had to be removed because the energy was old and stagnate and no longer fit.

The room then needed to be rearranged to accommodate the new furniture with the fireplace and existing large table. So we vacuumed things up and proceeded to move things around several times. You know how this game works. We also created an awesome and unconventional table top "flower" centerpiece to put on the finishing touches.  Finally, we found an arrangement that felt peaceful. After moving the fireplace, tables, couches, vacuuming and so forth, we sat back and enjoyed the product of our labors. It hadn't taken huge efforts, yet the rewards were amazing.

Our lives are much like this little project.  We desire change and think we have to make enormous steps in order to achieve those desires. Many times these changes may be outside of our budgets and especially our comfort zones. We may start and then stop because we are so uncomfortable and never reach our desired outcomes.

So like this project, we start small.  Choose something that will raise the energy of what you are wanting and create a little shift or stretch.  Then, choose the next thing that will create a little shift and stretch. As you move forward doing this you will find that the thing that was once outside of your comfort zone will now be in your hand and that you are in one piece, not to mention stronger and more flexible.

Many people think we have to go out and Bust those comfort zones to get what we want, and really, that's just too scary. So, start small, stretch and then stretch some more.  Get comfortable being a little uncomfortable and before you know it...your comfort zone is bigger than you ever thought it would be and you are so much better off having taken those actions to stretch.

So get out there and stretch and if anyone wants a room make over while you're out of town, my sister and I are going to start a new business.

PS...My friend still likes me and loves the new energy & stretch towards what she really desires.

Until next time...Go BE Great!!
