Something you don't really feel comfortable doing or you feel like it will take to much energy? I have! There have been times I didn't listen, or I more like I heard, but chose not to follow through. There have also been times I did listen and I was so glad. Like last week I had a feeling to put the nail clippers in my purse for a massage class I was helping with, when I got there, the instructor asked if I happen to have nail clippers. Although this was a little matter, it was nice to know I listened. Little things can sometimes be really big things to someone else. When I was nearly 9 months pregnant and VERY ready to have the baby, I had a friend come by and just sit and visit with me. It was just what I needed to get my mind off feeling so uncomfortable and ready to burst :) Listening can sometimes have a much greater impact on our lives than just what we see before us. It is soo fun to look back in my life at all the pivotal moments, that just one choice made all the difference! So take courage to do the thing you think you can not do, as Eleanor Roosevelt put it!!!!

]]>Going with the Flowhttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2011/11/7/going-with-the-flow.htmlStefanie2011-11-07T20:18:10ZWhen we resist life, we can become exhausted quickly. We wonder why we have no energy to eat healthy, and take care of ourselves, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. We are in a constant battle, like two bodies of water pushing head to head.

We can choose differently, we can just STOP and turn in the direction of the current and go with the flow. STOPPING and FEELING, taking the risk of actually feeling sad, when you are hurt, can be one of the most powerful tools, in life.

As we feel and experience what life has to offer, we free ourselves to be in the moment, and to go with the flow of life. Letting go of the need to control and letting things be... Try it you might actually like feeling sad, when it brings the gift of peace, so you can move on!

]]>Starting Overhttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2011/8/25/starting-over.htmlStefanie2011-08-25T23:57:15ZStarting over doesnt mean you have to give up on a relationship, yet sometimes that is the best answer. Starting over can simply mean, letting go of the past and living in the present. In our daily routines of life, sometimes we can become frustrated and become short with those we love most. It is very effective to simple begin again, for example: Say your husband walks in the house and says "Whats for dinner" and your reply is a grumpy "I dont know, make your own dinner". This is the best time, once you realize you have been a bit fisty, to say lets start again. Have him ask you whats for dinner, and with a softer tone, you say, "I have been so busy today, I would love ideas and help or take out." It is so easy, yet works like a charm everytime! Use it, and watch your communication and relationship grow! It is amazing what a little kindness can do!

]]>A Gift Withinhttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/11/29/a-gift-within.htmlStefanie2010-11-29T16:39:00ZAs winter comes in, we begin to shift gears. Baby its cold outside! (At least in Utah!) Winter is a time of stillness, a time of contemplation or reflection. Reflexion, you say? Looking within and re-evaluating if you like where you are headed. Are you satisfied with your relationships, finances, career and health? It is a time to refocus. Deciding what you want your relationship or job to look and be like, is more than half the work. As you begin to focus on the relationship or job as you would like it, it already begins to change. Enjoying the stillness, so that we can refocus on what we truly want, is a gift! It is a gift that I hope each of you opens this Christmas season!

]]>A Season for Sorrowhttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/11/20/a-season-for-sorrow.htmlStefanie2010-11-20T19:58:32ZEach season has an emotion that is correlated with. The emotion for fall is Grief & Sorrow/ Joy. The organs effected during fall are Lung and Large intestine. So if you are having bronchial symptoms or digestive issues, you may have something trying to get your attention! What has caused you grief in the past that may still need some healing? Simply allowing yourself to feel is one of the best ways to move on! In fear, often we run from the pain, staying to busy to feel, drinking ourselves out of reality, eating too much to numb ourselves. What if we just merely felt it? It will not last forever, and if we stop long enough to experience it, usually it passes quickly. How can we know Joy without experiencing Sorrow? Take courage in feeling the sorrow, and you may find a sweetness in the sorrow. The sweetness that only comes from truth, our true feelings are always there, no matter how fast we run! Ask for Gods support and love, and your heart will heal. What beauty comes from living close to Him!

]]>A Little Help From Abovehttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/7/22/a-little-help-from-above.htmlStefanie2010-07-22T17:51:19ZWe all need a little help sometimes. Why not have help all the time? Gods hands are tied until we are open to recieve. I can only imagine Him, just pleading with us to ask! There are many angels and family on the other side that are set free to serve us, as soon as we ask. It is such a gift to have the grace of God upon us, but we are the ones who must open the door. Remember to ask before you experience such deep greif you can go on no longer. Having Him lift the burdon before it even gets heavy blesses our lives with peace and joy. Enjoy the journey with His grace upon you!

]]>Celebrate Each Step of the Way!http://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/6/26/celebrate-each-step-of-the-way.htmlStefanie2010-06-26T17:25:25ZCelebrating progress is invigorating! Remember, a little kindness goes a long way! Even and especially towards ourselves! We tend to be very hard on ourselves and it may reflect in our relationships, as we are hard on others. Celebrating baby steps is much more invigorating than once again, telling ourselves we could have done better. So celebrate your progress in every little thing you do! You are worth celebrating!

]]>SUMMER FUN!http://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/6/17/summer-fun.htmlStefanie2010-06-17T14:03:51ZSummer is the season of fun! Are you taking the time to have a little fun in your life? Now is the time to be with family and friends! Have a barbecue, go to the mountains or beach and soak up the sun! There is great power in connection, we are all one so when we take the time to nourish our relationships we have more happiness and joy! So go and enjoy the sunshine, family and friends!

]]>Letting Go of Guilthttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/5/16/letting-go-of-guilt.htmlStefanie2010-05-16T15:38:59ZEverything on earth including words have a specific vibration! The word hate defiantly feels different than the word love. Love is rated the highest vibration, and guilt is right there with hate! I was shocked when I heard this! I thought guilt was something that kept me humble, kept me doing what I thought I was suppose to do.

In the end we will be held accountable, for every Thought, Word and Deed. Why I wonder? Because we effect one another and ourselves through our thoughts, not only words and deeds. So if we are constantly feeling guilty, what are we telling ourselves? That we are bad. Did God create, bad? No, all that He created was good!

So think LOVING thoughts of yourself and others. It helps us move past old beliefs and habits! In our lives, we are where we THINK we are. If we are constantly thinking guilty thoughts, we are in the energy of weakness. If we choose to think loving thoughts, like I love who I am, we in the energy of strength! What are you choosing?

]]>Sweetness of Lifehttp://www.awakenyourtruth.com/blog/2010/5/12/sweetness-of-life.htmlStefanie2010-05-12T15:33:28ZDo you ever find yourself; Searching for the perfect decedent sweet? Yearning for something fun to do? Shopping for the perfect outfit, that will ensure you sheer pleasure and happiness? Its time to dig a little deeper, what are you yearning for? Is it really just some sugar, or a shopping high? No, its not! Then what is it? Could your soul be yearnig for something more than the everyday mundane? What if it is just searching for joy? Yes treats, clothes and fun trips bring us monitary joy, but do they bring us the spiritual high and connection we are yearning for? Look within and find the sweetness of life, in serving others, through every thought, word and deed. Even while driving down the road you can smile at a pacer by, send a loving prayer someones way that looks down hearted. Listen to your soul and it will tell you what you are truley searching for: Mine? To be nearer to God. I always feel joy in blessing the lives of others! What is your soul saying?
