the way of reconnection

An alternate title is 'Remembering Who You Are'. The way is whatever you choose with attributes including:

• Respecting yourself,
• Loving yourself,
• Expressing gratitude,
• Releasing judgment,
• Participating in the moment, and
• Living your passion.

Your path is daily practice in mindfulness and it begins with a willingness to change. Just like losing excess weight, bettering academic grades or becoming proficient at a skill, each opportunity can bring you closer to the goal.

As you proceed along the path, you discover (remember) the interconnection of all things. Call it interrelationship, co-existence, ecology, symbiotic or any other of the many relationship labels you can think of. Interconnection is the glue at all levels of our being.

A great example of this in daily life is food. When you eat a meal that satisfies you without indigestion, you are respecting your body, mind and spirit. You love yourself when you make good food choices that satisfy! When you eat joyfully and take your time to savor, that is a form of gratititude. The dining experience excludes comment on the flatware, dishes, serving environment and server, so you release judgment. Contemplating each bite - texture, blend of flavors, heat, etc. - is participating in the moment. Choosing foods that bring back memories of favorite food experiences is living your passion.

If your dining experience is food on the run, then respect yourself enough to make small changes to bring your dining experience closer to something more enjoyable to you.

As you work on the bullet list above each day, at some point you will experience greater connection to the world around you. It will happen on physical and non-physical levels. You will find yourself more tuned in to others...what they need, think and feel. This is where the richness of life comes in.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Now, you have the opportunity to be the change you wish to experience in the world.

How can one person transform the world?

Help is everywhere. Use what resonates with you. As you evolve, you change, so what resonates with you will also change. Pay attention to your gut, intuition, inner voice, or whatever you refer to as  the guidance system that helps you make choices.

In the course of research for a monthly newsletter, I visited inc.com. I glanced at the Most Viewed list to find these articles:

• 12 Great Motivational Quotes for 2013
• 6 Habits of Remarkably Likable People
• 8 Things Remarkably Successful People Do
• 9 Daily Habits That Will Make You Happier
• 10 Things Extraordinary People Say Every Day.

While these topics were not part of my search, they became part of my 'find' for newsletter content. The topics speak to trends in human consciousness. The readers of these articles seek information to spur them to greater heights; that is the basis of the monthly newsletter I create for independent inventors!

You are independently re-inventing yourself, too!
