First look to find what is preventing you from feeling these natural emotions, seek to find the barriers and the gift will be lying there waiting to come alive with your recognition of its existence.

By Lori Chenger

It is

February and the month of the “heart”. During this month when the focus can largely be the giving of love to others, I would like to change the focus to the giving of love to ourselves first. Do things from love not for love.

The answers to anything in life are always “an inside job”. Emotions such as love, happiness, peace etcetera; exist naturally within us.

The problem is they are hidden behind the barriers that the mind creates as “problems”. 29

There is a lot of talk being generated regarding “finding balance “and topics asking women how they balance work, life and play for example. This can cause unnecessary anxiety as we interpret it as just one more thing that we are “supposed to do”.

Understand that not all baskets in which you place your priorities in w ill be exact and proport ionate to one another and that IS OKAY. Just breathe and know that what you accomplished or did not accomplish is just exactly as it should be. Tomorrow is another day, and you will be able to pick up where you left off with fresh eyes and a new perspective.
