LIR 7115 Weekly - No Rune

Things are moving along so it's time to revisit the basics.

Are you using your tools? Are you living your truth? Are you "working the moment" with your greatest and highest happiness in mind?

Sometimes as we race through projects, or get bogged down by all the bits and pieces running together, we can fall into old patterns. So this week, as we continue to move forward, let's take a moment to review.

Am I breathing?
Am I listening to myself?
Am I doing this, choosing that, because it will bring me happiness?
Am I agreeing? Or am I going along? Am I listening to me, or what I think someone else wants?
If my choices were limitless, would I still be doing it this way?

Remember, at the end of the day, and even in the middle of it, you are the only person who is responsible for your actions. The buck stops with you. You choose. You do. You get to choose how you do and what you do and even why you do. 

So, take a step back. Take a deep breath. Is there anything you've forgotten in the rush of passion?

I want to watch the video!

Grrr. Aaarrgh.  Blessed unhelpful runes. Excuse me while I go tear my hair out and practice what I preach.

Ding dang double dad gum.

Okay, I'm back. Yeah, I let myself get tangled in the would haves and should haves. Having just sent out my monthly newsletter asking for money, I got sucked into the "Productive Income" and earnings level… you know, do more! Do more! Do More!!!

This rune was not advice to add or expand any of my services yet… it was instead a reminder to "put your oxygen mask on first."

Focus on skills is awesome. Focus on goals is wonderful. And oh, the dreams I am manifesting. But there are still basics to deal with. Like food to eat. Yearly check ups. Cars with flat tires. So, pay attention to the basics. 

And for me, that very much ties in to the monthly reading, about settling my foundation. And not letting myself get caught up in the "Oh, but…" or "perhaps I should be… "

I believe in myself. I am my foundation. Therefore, it behooves me to ensure I am in good condition. After all, my heart and lungs and stamina have to be in working order if I want to travel ALL over the world!

So thanks to all who are part of my foundation.

And I hope you (all) have a great day!

LIR 81114 - No Rune

Says the Universe, “I think you have enough to process right now; You need no further input from me!”

Breathe. Step. Breathe. Step. We’ll get there.

**********************************

Oh, thank goodness.

And wasn't that the truth!  Between the dis-ease of the body and organization project, I felt over full in expectations.

Happily, the body is already through coping and heading back toward healthy, and the organization project, while still underway, now has room for the reality I'd prefer to return.  One step at a time.  Practice, practice, practice.

And I really miss blogging things!  I really do.

so, let's see what the truth of today is.  What is the truth of today?  Perhaps more concise...  let's see the truth for today.  *G*  (Except it's really just advice on how to approach our truth for the day.  Or practice it.  Or....)

********************************************************

LIR 81814 - No Rune

And the word of the day is… Achievement!

The universe thanks you for checking in & says unto you/ us : “You’re doing great & don’t need me to muddy the waters. Trust yourself! I do.”

I hope you have a great day!

LIR 7814 - No Rune

Well, we must be on the right track, 

whatever we’re doing. *g*

Slow & steady.

***********************************

This was definitely advice, and not a prediction for yesterday.  The first part sent me into a tailspin of denial, because I have no idea what I'm doing!  It did spawn a few meanderings, which I hope to post on the "meanderings" page.

But finally, after a lot of mental beating against the walls, and trying various coping practices, I was able to quiet the mental chatter.  Slow and steady.  One day at a time.  It's not just something to help, it's a truth I prefer to live by.  How else do I, myself, be truly happy?  Even when I'm really good at something and the definition of slow is faster than it was a month ago, still, slow and steady in every movement, in every practice, in every thought.  Love today.  Trust myself.  And be the truth of the moment.

Slow and steady.  Okay.

No big storms.
No scary transitions.
No drama required.

I hope you have a great day!

LIR 7714 - HagalazR & Berkano

We don’t need big, drastic changes to increase our comfort.

The desire for more nurturing will not destroy our worlds.

Breathe in. What do I want? Breathe out.

**********************************************

Yesterday, I was pretty sure about what I wanted.  This morning, my mind is a fever of images and ideas and possibilities.

But, it is a pretty basic thing to remember.  Breathe in.  What do I want?  Breathe out.  I wish I'd reread this last night, or earlier this morning.

Because I know the panicked flitting from idea to idea is not what I want.  It in no way makes me happy.  And some of those ideas were (are) fun!  But.

The question itself may be even simpler.  "Do I want this?"

And if the answer is no, no judgement.  No big drama.  Just accept and move on.

Yes, that feels right.  That feels happy.  That feels calm and comforting.

Breathe out.  "Do I want this?"  Breathe in.

LIR 42214 - Laguz

You know how we've been practicing patience?  Well, today is a good day to practice calm as the things we've been waiting for start rushing in.

Excitement can be as frantic as fear, so BREATHE.  And remember your truth.

Here we go!

************************************************


Oh boy.  Well, I can't say I did terribly, but I surely did try to get caught up in the frantic-ness of yesterday.  It started with caffeine.

I don't usually drink a lot of caffeine... I know it can keep my mind racing far into the night.  But, since I had a late shift at the retail store, I thought I'd add some caffeine to my day.

Soon after the rune reading, yesterday, I received a phone call to begin a new adventure... voice lessons.  It's been a long time since I've had formal teaching, and I can tell you I felt giddy and freaked out.  Just over a phone call!   This is definitely going to be a good way to practice my truth and calm.

Then I spent some time doing online research, as we're thinking about changing vehicles.  Another big sweeping change, that brings a lot of emotional baggage with it, if I let it.  Much practice in acceptance.

An hour before my shift finds me jittery and freaking out.  What's the big deal?  Is there going to be a huge event at the store?  Am I going to be fired?  Promoted?  Am I going to find a dream vehicle in the parking lot?  Am I nervous about the lessons?

Nope, I'm reacting to caffeine.  The blessed chemicals are working with my body to keep me awake and alert.  Yikes!

Happily, just the knowledge allowed me to be a little calmer and step back from a panic attack.  

The shift itself could have turned into a hot mess if I hadn't already been practicing breathing.  A previous Lila, one hour into shift, would have said, "oh, it's going to be one of THOSE days."  I, instead, said, "no it's not.  That won't make me happy."  Deep breath.  And move on.  I'll admit it wasn't always smooth, since it gets busy enough in retail you don't have time to consciously think about breathing.  But, when it slows down and there is time to think, the automatic "Oh crap, what did I do?"  turned into "Okay dokey, next time we'll do better."

So, all in all, I think the Laguz rush is off to a good start.  And I expect it to only get better.

Choices may be made in your favor today.

Remember, you have the final say in what you accept.

I hope you have a great day!

LIR 12814 OthiloR very off the cloth

Yes, it's possible you missed something today.  So stop and check your work.  Then move on. Don't let the fear of mistakes be the driving factor today.

***************************************

This one, it turns out, is easy.  As a bookkeeper, tax season is upon us.  (Well, tax season is upon everyone.)  And yes, it does actually last longer than the holiday season.  As soon as the 1st of January hits, there's a scramble for rule books and tax forms and lost receipts.

Yesterday was one of those days of getting tax things prepped and submitted.  And I have to ask, why does it have to be this convoluted?  "Why?" she yells in classic arms to heaven pose.

So.  I did take a deep breath, made sure I had done the things I needed to do, yesterday.  And I told myself, as I walked away from the desk and the computer, well, if I made a mistake I'll find out soon enough.

Here's to believing that knowing how to read and follow directions is enough to survive mentally.

Want to go, go, go?  Wait a moment.  Is it the desire for movement, or the readiness to take the next step which compels you?

I hope you have a great day!
