Day 4 of my 30 Day rewind – Just Happy

Today marks the ending of my fourth day of my 30 day rewind.  I woke up this morning yet another day to engage in early morning meditation.  I woke up this morning feeling absolutely happy and exceptionally beautiful.

Today was pretty much a day of rest.  I got some writing, cleaning, meditating, shopping, and exercise in.

Today, I extended my exercise regiment by 30 minutes and it felt great.  Usually, on the weekend I watch TV but I didn’t turn the tube on until 9 p.m.  I just found myself more vested in doing more productive things.  Overall, I am just Happy.  Happy to be a woman who lives, laugh, and love unconditionally.  I am simply me.

I don’t have a lot to say today only that I am looking forward to a brand new day.  Pray for me as I travel this journey to enhance the model me.  LOL!!

Day 3 of my 3o-day rewind – devotion and dedication

Well today marks the third day of my 30-day rewind. I started my day off with centering my thoughts; ushering positive energy into my world by engaging in early meditation at 5 a.m.  Then I followed  with 30 minutes of exercise and 1 hour later my morning light breakfast.

I knew that I was going to have a full day with meeting with some new and old clients and taking care of all the other things that I do.  My first meeting for today was cancelled even after I had confirmed the appointment the day earlier.  Normally, that would bother me because I don’t like people wasting my time.  Nevertheless, I kept pushing forward maintaining a good attitude about it.  Being able to do that was a great victory for me and I knew that my morning meditation played a significant role  in me being able to accept “change” in my planned out day.

With time to spare, I decided to complete some other tasks that were long over due and it felt great getting those things out-of-the-way.  With a little more time to spare before going off to my next meeting  I decided to stop into a local flower shop to get some fresh flowers for the house.  When I got in the shop, I didn’t know what kind of flowers I was going to get but it didn’t take long for me to decide.  Immediately,  I was taken by this beautiful array of purple carnations.  I usually pick flowers based on scent and that is what carnations lack but they were too beautiful for me not to buy them.

Now the time has come for my next meeting with some new clients.  I met with my new clients at the appointed time and it went well.  I had a different impression of them speaking with them over the phone.  I must say, meeting people in person is so much more effective than talking to them over the phone.   They were a really nice couple and I was obliged to have them as new potential clients.  As the conversation went on, they said that they were very impressed with my knowledge of the industry and signed a contract with me immediately.  As the conversation continued they  informed me that they had spoken with four other  agents and were less impressed with their approach and attitudes.

They went on to say, that I made them feel like I cared about their needs.  Then they said something that really caught me off guard.  They said that it was really my aura {the positive energy surrounding me} that really sealed the deal in them choosing me as their agent.

That was a huge compliment to me and it put a big cheesy smile on my face.  Anyway, I left that meeting with so much more than new clients; I left with a stronger sense of devotion and dedication.  I know that devotion and dedication essentially mean the same thing, however, I say devotion and dedication because I left that meeting with double the encouragement to stay committed to completing my 30-day rewind programs until I have reached my goals mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I came home to put my flowers in a vase.  Then I began to wind down so that I could eat my dinner which contained all the fiber I would ever need in one day.  LOL!

Then after 1 hour, I engaged in more exercise for 1 1/2 hours.  Now I can say my day was successfully completed and I am in anticipation for the fourth day.

I learned many things throughout the course of my day.  I learned that how you begin your day plays an essential role in how you will navigate through your day.

I recognized change within myself for the good when my first clients cancelled their appointment and it didn’t bother me. It demonstrated growth in me.  I was able to accept change and follow through with other commitments that resulted in me getting  new clients.  Which influences a new quote:

“Change is the gateway of new beginnings.” {Poetic Energy}

 

Something else that I learned today, that God will use small things symbolically to bring things to your attention.  I spoke about how I was taken by the purple carnations in the flower shop.  Searching the world-wide web to find out if I could preserve my flowers longer than the typical life span of fresh flowers; I found out that the carnation is a flower that is symbolic for pure love, devotion and dedication.  This was fascinating to me because down to the littlest thing in the course of my day, directly and symbolically my day was being guided.   My day also reminded me that devotion and dedication is what I would need to continue on the path that leads to producing a greater me. This is why this day was marked as Day 3 of my 30-day rewind devotion and dedication.

 

I Affirm

“I am devoted, dedicated and committed to follow through; not with dreams, because dreams often remain parked in a stagnant existence.  Instead, I will follow through with my vision because it is written, planned and being executed beyond what I can physically see.”  {Poetic Energy}

 

I wrote myself a check for this much today $3,500,000 and now

i will follow through with what it takes to manifest  its fruits.

 

“Write your vision and make it plain.”

 

Execute, Execute, Execute

 

Well let me stop for now.  I will doodle some more tomorrow.  Love and Blessings y’all !!!

 

Ending Day 2 of my 30-day rewind

The time has finally come.  I am all settled down and I feel totally balanced.  I have done my two-hour Open Mic show and I thoroughly enjoyed completing my day with poetic expressions.  I got my exercise on before the show and let me tell you; it did not come without challenge, but the feeling is great to complete something that you set out to do.

I tell you balancing out my day with specific task left me without the feeling of being overwhelmed and I am so happy.  I got in everything that I needed to get in without fail.  I feel wonderfully free.

Tomorrow is a brand new day and I am sure that I will face new challenges but the important thing is that I will center my focus to guide me through the day successfully.

Okay, I must take my self to bed because I have clients to meet with tomorrow and other things to carry out after meeting with them.  So good night all and Love and Blessings to you and yours…..

Day 2 0f my 30-day Rewind {Balance & Moderation}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to become focused you must be acquainted with terminology that educates you on what it really means to be focused. {Poetic Energy} I RELEASE POSITIVE ENERGY INTO THE UNIVERSE I RELEASE FINANCIAL FREEDOM, SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT, AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE…FOR THE BOOMERANG EFFECT FOR IT TO RETURN UNTO ME.

 

POSITIVE ENERGY – LET IT FLOW. LET FLOW. LET IT FLOW. LET IT FLOW. LET FLOW. LET FLOW. LET FLOW.

 

Moderation – the quality of being moderate; restraint; avoidance of extremes or excesses; temperance.

Balance – mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment, etc.

It is day two of my 30-day rewind and it is has been a very rewarding day for me.  I woke up early morning to engage into some mental meditation.  I retreated to a calm place in my home.  My meditation was mixed with a little of solemn prayer and some inner reflection.  It felt good doing that.  In essence, I was centering my thoughts and focus before I got my day started.

After my morning meditation – I completed a simple 30 minute exercise regiment that I designed for myself to make sure that I don’t become overwhelmed.

Progressing through that moment.  I began my day with handling my business, and updating on my social networks.  I did some more writing.  Writing is also a part of my mental therapy; it allows me to be a free spirit.

Fulfilling my day with my responsibilities I found that balance is everything.  It is very important to balance your life with all that you engage in.  I must say balance is not doing everything that you want half heartedly; balance is being able to complete your every day task with total and complete commitment.  I am happy to say that I was able to do that today and it feels great not to feel overwhelmed.

Today, I ate very healthy and moderately.  I learned from the French; to slow down and give ample time to eating. This practice will allow for us to receive total satisfaction from what we eat, therefore, keeping us from  over indulging in food.

I still have a few hours left in my day.   Tonight I have my 1 1/2 hour exercise regiment left to do involving a lot of cardio  and some yoga stretching. I also have my online radio show to do tonight at 9 p.m. EST @ http://www.blogtalkradio.com/poeticenergyradio and this will complete my second day.

Well, I am signing off for now.  I have had my dinner and @ 6:30 p.m. I will start my exercise regiment.

Day 1 of My 30 Day Rewind – {SANKOFA}

I remember a time when I use to go to the gym religiously 4 days a week exercising 2 hours a day.  It was important for me to keep my temple together for myself and not for anyone else. My temple was tight, biceps and triceps defining every muscle and my calves were popping like it was nobodies business.  My skin radiant as a halo’s glow.  I can remember from my early and late twenties my clothing sizes ranged from size 4-6 then 8-10, 12-14 and so on and so forth.

After I had my daughter, my body bounced back to 125 lbs.  So I can’t even blame my child for my gaining weight excessively over the years.  I stop paying attention to the sizes when it went past size 16. I have done many of things before now to confront my excessive weight gain.  I prevailed at times but then I found myself back in the same position, gaining the weight I lost back and then some. I never was really overweight until my mobility became physically challenging .  (When I am ready I will share what the physical challenge is.)

This holiday season, I decided that I was not going to cook or indulge in traditional practices of celebrating the season by preparing a big feast.  Instead, I decided that food was not going to be the motivation in me.  I have decided to rewind the hands of time RECLAIMING  THE MOTIVATION I once owned and possessed.  I affirm to always be the best me that I can be inside and out.  NO MORE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS…..NO MORE FAD DIETS…..NO MORE INSTANT GRATIFICATION….NO MORE DIET SUPPLEMENTS…NO MORE COUNTING CALORIES….NO MORE FEAR OF BEING SEXY….NO MORE EXCUSES.

Recently, I had an epiphany. I realized every day that I wake up; that, it is God’s message to me that he has given me the ability to change my situation, circumstances, and my life for the better.  He give’s me the opportunity to soar successfully as in times past.

So, today is the day that I have started my 30 day rewind.  Today is my {SANKOFA}.

The concept of SANKOFA is derived from King Adinkera of the Akan people of West Afrika. SANKOFA is expressed in the Akan language as “se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenki.”

Literally translated it means “it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot”.

“Sankofa” teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward. Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone or been stripped of, can be reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated.

Sankofa is the whole inspiration behind starting my New program the 3o-day rewind.  Every 3o-days one-step-at-a-time I will symbolically turn back the hands of time only to take back the beauty of everything that was once mine.   I will update you with pictures, and random thoughts on my journey and I will update you with exactly what I am doing at the appropriate time.

Until next time…..keep it locked….or rewind your clock….to implement the change in you.
