It's a holistic approach to life; a balance between body (yoga, activity) and the mind (meditation, creative projects). It's also about using both the right and left sides of our brain, for me through writin, for others that might be drawing. It's about becoming more aware, through mindfulness, as to what saps our energy and clutters our mind, for me that's TV and worrying too much about things outside my control.
Life constantly challenges us and we can end up living a life out of alignment with our values. This disconnect can create a gap between the person we have become and who we really want to be. We may have the best of intentions yet seem powerless in making long lasting changes in our life.
Evolve Life Project is an opportunity to Fast Forward into the person we really want to be.
By setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely) it is possible to progress in small but meaningful steps, on a daily basis, towards transforming our lives.
My first week of 'Evolve Life' has been more powerful and uplifting then I could have ever hoped for. I was truly ready and willing for this in a way I never could have been a year ago. 2011 was all about retrospection, introspection, healing, grieving (I lost my father and two grandparents in 3 short years). It was slow, painful and took me to the depths of despair, at times I thought I would never recover, and yet I have.
During 2011 I learnt about awareness, catapulted by an amazing program called North Shore Compass, or what I like to call 'learning how to be an adult'. Sadly due to changes in government funding this amazing, life changing program will cease to be available as of this spring.
This week I focused on daily meditation, yoga, reading and writing, as well as bucket loads of self care; eating well, sleeping well and generally being good to myself. I've been practising mindfulness and positive thinking and have noticed shifts in myself. I feel uplifted, hopeful and focused.
