Be Different – Be Out-Standing Literally
Having stepped down from the Board of my old Organisation (The Psychosynthesis Trust), and also completed a very successful Day Workshop here in Essex with excellent feedback, I’ve been in a funny place that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I needed the space to let go and be where I was – wherever that was!!!
I am aware now that I’ve been (and partly still am) in a place of anxiety and overwhelm as well as freedom and excitement.
It’s not exactly a comfortable place to be here (as some of you might know) in a state of flux – letting go of, and acknowledging my sadness at the loss of people and places I hold dear before I take my next step.
As you might know, some of life’s lessons are painful and fun with anything in between. For me, I also can forget that change of any kind can give us a place where all new opportunities and experiences help us to let go with grace.
Choice
It is important for you and me to remember that we have a choice to be where we are (even for a wee while) or to move on (and sometimes this can be too quick).
Again it is our attitude towards our happenings that’s important e.g. when we say ‘let’s do it’ is more fun and better than simply ‘do it’ or ‘let’s stay here awhile’ is a place to breathe easier from than ‘don’t stop’.
When I am ready, I will give myself the opportunity to see what will validate my life and if in six months (weeks, days), I’ve gone up the wrong tree then I will make another decision as on one level it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I have the courage and commitment to do it my way and take responsibility for that.
Act as if what you do makes a difference
‘I will (as William James said) act as if what I do makes a difference’. Because it does as you and I are the representative of hundreds, thousands of years of heritage with threads of energy that go way back to all the generations we have come from. And you and I are also unique, a being full of new awareness, experience and information never before available in our here and now.
Fear of the Unknown
So what am I saying to myself (and to you, of course), don’t allow fear of the unknown to disempower you. When we become fearful, we move into our lower ‘lizard brain’ and lose 25-50 IQ points and as our fear increases, our ability to think rationally decreases.
When in our daily life, we focus our consciousness on gratitude, appreciation, joy and beauty, we weave peace into our very cells. And how we perceive our daily life affects our view of reality.
Life is about choices based on our experience and reality and so it is important to come from that wisdom to know what to do with the choices we make.
I’d like to leave you with the choice to – ‘Be different – be out-standing literally’.

Why don’t you give yourself a treat and come on my next Day Workshop? This is for women who want to give themselves the gift of time in order to re-connect with themselves.
The Day is about focusing on you, identify where you want to go at this stage in your life, and embrace the year ahead with renewed vigour.
It will enable you to explore what else is out there for you while you listen to your dreams.
There are some structured activities throughout the day to keep you on track during your discoveries.
