… old, young, rich, poor, good, or lowly to begin your growth Journey

Welcome!

Thank you for joining me on this 12-step journey towards increasing your Creative flow and reducing stress.

I’m Rita, and I am a Healer and a teacher. It’s my calling to help people evolve, elevate and expand their thinking. I help people to heal through natural modalities that fall outside of traditional medicine. That’s exactly what you will find here, so I hope you’ll stay!

Today I am sharing with you Step 8, and it’s a real eye-opener – regardless of age, skill, IQ, or station in Life.

Tweaking your perspective will open up a whole new world for you

The grace to be a beginner is the best prayer for someone on a growth Journey. The humility and openness of being a beginner leads to exploration. Exploration leads to accomplishment, and all of it begins with the first small and scary step of beginning.

As a Self-saboteur, you love to pretend that you can never begin because it is too late.

A fearful person asks: Do you know how old I’ll be by the time I learn to (play the piano, cook/bake, drive a car, sing like Mariah)?

The answer is the same for all of us: The same age you will be if you don’t. And the caveat is that you will probably be much more unhappy or unfulfilled if you don’t.

Your Ego (there it is again!) plays tricks on you to keep you from getting started. Remember that the Ego’s psychological purpose is Self-preservation. So it will flex its muscles to prevent you from doing anything that could lead to pain, heartache, or failure.

However long it may take to progress from beginner to intermediate may seem like an eternity, or too much time to invest. Your Ego will have you believe that there are so many other more important things that you could spend your energy, time, and money on.

Instead of allowing yourself to begin a growth Journey, you instead focus on the length of the trip, inevitably, never taking it.

If you can remember that each day is one more day with some motion toward a very enjoyable goal, you are more likely to be flexible and graceful with yourself. And who knows, you may actually enjoy yourself along the way!

Little by little, inch by inch …

By the yard it’s hard, by the inch – what a cinch! Never stare up the stairs, just step up the step. Little by little, inch by inch.

Beginning just takes one small action, and getting overwhelmed by looking at the big picture will lead to shut down.

At the heart of starving yourself of growth and expansion, you also starve yourself of delight and process. Taking a Journey of growth, awareness, and evolution is not about achieving some great elevated state. It is about the process of getting there, thus the term Journey. Finding joy in at least some of the little, mundane experiences in your day-to-day will culminate into a big picture view for your future Self.

Live every moment as if it were your last. This is not to say you should act wild and crazy or go on dangerous adventures. Instead, if you were to pass in this very moment and come to your Life review, would you feel a sense of pride or joy in your experiences? Would you feel like you’ve finished enough of your business here on Earth?

If yes, then you are on the right track. Keep moving forward and course correct as necessary. If no, then maybe it’s time to begin some introspection. Go back to Steps 1-7 and see where there are some limitations holding you back, or where change needs to be made.

Until next time,
