The\u00a0gist: managing your energy<\/strong> is more important than managing your time to be fully engaged in life. The goal is to\u00a0reach\u00a0your maximum energy potential\u00a0to become:<\/p>\n \u2022 mentally focused and spiritually aligned.<\/p>\n Just as you must stretch\u00a0past your existing limits to physically grow your muscles, so must you move past your comfort zone to develop your strength in these equally critical\u00a0areas.<\/p>\n Most of us tend to focus primarily on our weight, and fitness level for our outer strength, and physical health, but its our inner strength that fuels lasting change, and a true healthy balance.<\/p>\n How valuable is\u00a0being physically energized if you’re emotionally stressed? What if your home is totally organized for mental focus, but spiritually you have no sense of purpose, meaning or deep connection in your relationships?<\/p>\n It requires consistent rituals tied to your authentic values. Take risks, be vulnerable, and notice how strong you didn\u2019t realize you\u00a0could become.<\/p>\n I believe our\u00a0spiritual energy\u00a0is the main driver for\u00a0the other\u00a03\u00a0energies. It’s\u00a0at the centre leading the way, and the core of who you are that allows you to align authentically on all 4 levels.<\/p>\n Your\u00a0soul manages your emotional, mental, and physical energy. \u00a0Your\u00a0character, and sense of purpose define your soul. Who are you? What matters to you? How do you treat others?<\/p>\n Do you believe in a friendly, abundant Universe or one that is competitive where there is not enough?\u00a0One\u00a0journey\u00a0finds its way joyfully with inner strength, the other with fear, and requiring outer strength.<\/p>\n There’s\u00a0a\u00a0balance where you can have both, but\u00a0in the\u00a0extremes you will lose your way. It’s how\u00a0you believe spiritually that matters.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been watching Oprah\u2019s latest documentary series\u00a0called Belief<\/a><\/span>. Seeing the vastly\u00a0different ways millions of\u00a0people believe about who we are, why we’re here, our universal quest for happiness, purpose, and navigating\u00a0our struggles reminded me of how influenced we are simply by where\u00a0you happened to be\u00a0born.<\/p>\n It’s like your entire belief\u00a0system is downloaded ahead of time,\u00a0and\u00a0that\u00a0becomes your reality.\u00a0Until you start questioning it all. Your life, and how you experience\u00a0it\u00a0rests\u00a0on this one vital idea: how\u00a0do you\u00a0apply what you believe<\/strong>?<\/p>\n If you want to create your own life, open your eyes to the infinite of what you believe is possible, and suddenly all the rules, and expectations begin to fall away. DREAM BIG.<\/p>\n All the \u2018shoulds\u2019 the media feeds, and those around you imposing what\u00a0you need, and should want that don\u2019t belong to you becomes more apparent as you tap into trusting what you believe is\u00a0true for you, and following your heart.<\/p>\n Do not forget that NO OTHER SOUL\u00a0walks in the shoes\u00a0you wear. Trust your inner voice. Anyone thinking how you should live is coming from their own perception of reality, not yours.<\/p>\n Your “inspirit<\/span>ion, and\u00a0imagination<\/span><\/span>” comes from developing your soul. \u00a0Your soul is your \u2018mid-mind\u2019 that is midway between the material, and spiritual that your personality accesses throughout your lifetime.\u00a0Your personality is your unique gift, bestowed at birth,\u00a0and is separate from\u00a0your soul.<\/p>\n Getting into your peace\u00a0allows you to tap\u00a0into your soul, and discover what your heart most values. There’s a being\u00a0driving all the doing<\/strong> that creates\u00a0a rhythm\u00a0to move you forward almost effortlessly.<\/p>\n Signs, and synchronicities start showing up giving\u00a0you evidence you are aligning spiritually. One of my signs is seeing 11:11, and many versions of it. Birds have been another sign. They appear\u00a0in ways that still astound me, but no longer surprise me. It\u2019s like the Universe is winking at me, and whispering “there is so much more here than your physical eyes can see.”<\/p>\n The\u00a0movie “I Origins<\/a><\/span>” shows\u00a0a remarkably similar journey I experienced when I began seeing 11:11..I ended up with both validation, and more questions leading me in the direction I’m being called to go.<\/p>\n 6 Steps to Completing Your Best Year Ever:<\/p>\n 1.

After each one write “this or something better” to create a clear intention. Writing is powerful. Don’t underestimate it.<\/p>\n What lights you up? What matters most?
