There are many of you reading this that have known me by other names as well, however... that was then - and this is now... In my last post I spoke of staying focused and moving forward and not getting caught in minutia... well...
Welcome to Intentional Calm!
I also posted about pure intentions. In life you sometimes need to decide to break away from all the negative and move forward into the positive version of your life that is waiting for you. Remember, it is all about choice.
One of my favorite inspirational speaker's is Dr. Wayne Dyer. He was an amazing man with equally amazing information. One of my favorite books of course his Power of Intention. Literally this is what inspired my tag line "Pure Intentions. Positive Results." Another favorite of his for me is Change your Thoughts - Change your Life. Perception is a very very powerful thing!!
Intentional Calm was born from love and light and a desire to share pure and honest information. I will do my best to post often and but not too often that the posts do not have substance. I will have guest speakers that I feel will also be able to share good quality wholisitc information that will have a foundation in either physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, nutritional or financial health.
Ok, so you have the "Intentional" part down, what about the "Calm" part. Well... we live in a very different world than just a few years back. And then if you look a few years back from there... well, it seems we have come light years from where we were, as far as the amount of time we had for ourselves. My mom, bless her soul, would always tell me, "Mary-Anne, you work too hard, I am worried about you." I would respond by telling her that I would love to not work so hard, but how do I do that? She brought me up to be a strong and successful woman, right? What does that actually mean... well, it means balance! I learned allot from that woman!
We all work too hard, we spend too much time worrying way too much (mostly over things we cannot control). We have allergies we never had before and we ingest things we cannot pronounce. Hmmm... that alone is a mouthful, right?
We live in a very rushed world. A world where we have neighbors we never see, friends we have never met, and we spend time and money trying to get one thing... Peace.
What is peace for you? Peace is sometimes calm, peace is sometimes quiet. Maybe tranquility... Or maybe peace is what we feel in the midst of the chaos we call life.
We strive for peace, but can't figure out how to get it. We work too many hours and do not have enough time for ourselves, hell, we barely have enough time to eat a 15 minute lunch at our desk! Who's with me? OK, so... the "Calm"... ahhh yes, we need to figure this out. We need to figure this out before it kills us. Literally.
Sometimes we mistake calm and happiness with - If I only had more money? I work this hard to get more money. Makes sense, right? Well, maybe, but then we keep getting wrapped up... If I just had better clothes? A nicer home? Maybe a faster car? Sound familiar?
We get so caught up in the rat race - the minutia... we lose the basic foundation of need... The need to be at peace... The need to be calm. I am hoping you will find multiple ways for you to achieve your own level of calm in the posts that will follow. Maybe you will gain calm through meditation, maybe through art, maybe through a simple walk around the block. There are so many easy solutions to the problem and we look right past them. We are so caught up in the everyday rush, we miss out on the simple pleasures life has to offer. Yes, for those of you who remember... yet another name... lol (I'm just full of them! ;)
We need to break away from work, the kids, the bills and take a moment to smell those roses! If we remain calm, we are better focused. We can lower our blood pressure. We can accomplish so much more while coming from a place of calmness.
I do hope you are enjoying the information and will stay tuned for more. Together we will find our inner calm.
Be Well,
Mary-Anne
