Can you change your mindset in 1 day? This woman says YES!
I believe in the power of Tiny Actions sustainably, consciously, and soulfully applied.
In fact, I’ve witnessed so much more actual transformation with this approach than the deep dives into a HUGE INTENTION.
The HUGE intention starts off with a bang and then kinda fades a way without a peep. Think how many New Year’s resolutions and big plans you’ve thought up … and then laid down. Or rather, they laid themselves down for a long winter’s nap when you weren’t even looking.
The reason most goals or resolutions FAIL is because they are
S-C-A-T-T-E-R-E-D.
Scattered intentions are easily discarded, especially when they are believed at a subconscious level to be unreachable. As if the mind whispers (in a really creepy voice), “You know, you’ve already tried this a bunch of times and it hasn’t worked out. Maybe it’s best to forget about this dream. It’s probably out of your league or too much to accomplish this time around. Not to worry, you’re good.”
The insidious voice is tricky. It has a gravitational pull which maintains your set point (your habitual way of living) rather than your goals.
When you lay down that goal (again), the voice changes then. Still creepy, it whispers of things better left undone because of some inherent less than capable aspect of your nature. Such rubbish, this sneaky, creepy influential inner voice
So, I was pleased to receive an email from someone who was S-H-0-C-K-E-D by the rapid changes in her mindset after just a single day.
“Kathy! I set my sights on the wealth of knowledge from the Sacred Intent Retreat being life altering.” [Side note …. great intention. Feel free to steal it!] It certainly was! My reprogramming of old mindsets through Tiny Actions and Heart Assisted Therapy techniques made a profound difference. I’m grateful, yet shocked, to see how quickly my mindset changed!!”
Now, you may be wondering just how long these Tiny Tweaks have stayed around. Given human nature and the tendency to resort back to the zone of comfort called “habit.”
With the application of a number of new habits, techniques, AND tweaky mindsets, the tiny grew into huge transformation for that woman.
While the specifics aren’t mine to share, lets just say they covered just about every area of life. And, no, the tiny in Tiny Action wasn’t really medium size, nor extra large. It was so teeny that it gave me pause.
I recall thinking “Now, THAT is one TINY action.”
Yup. My “mindset habit” wondered if that teeny movement in perspective and action would make any difference. I learned something from that lady. A lot actually.
In fact, I am now a super fan of the Tiny Action sustainably and soulfully executed.
I’ve applied tiny movements in all areas of my life over the past 10 months since the first Sacred Intent Retreat was offered. All I can say is that I am rocking the tiny into an art form. And, I am directly experiencing massive shifts in all areas of my life.
You can join the experiment next time I offer the Sacred Intent Retreat. We’ll explore the intersection of spiritual, energetic, and success principles in a practical way .. applied YOUR way to YOUR life.
Don’t take my, or her, word for it. Explore these principles on your own. Imagine a day where you explore the area(s) of your Life that are calling you. And create a meaningful plan that you can successfully execute … with the help of the PlayBook you go home with. This “tiny” taste is just the tip of the iceberg.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
When you’re setting a goal, you activate the competitive nature of your willpower. Health psychologist, Kelly McGonigal, describes willpower as a competition between the part of you wanting immediate gratification. And that part focused on long term results. Four interventions can tip the scales in the direction of long-term goal achievement. Get enough sleep. Meditate 10 minutes a day. Get some exercise. Eat a plant based and low glycemic diet. All support the brain’s optimal functioning which are critical for staying on track with goals aligned with your core values. Keeping your energy efficient and enhancing your decision making.
Learn the one essential skill that allows you to face any challenge with confidence, sturdiness, and inner calm.
More than a technique. It’s a game changer.
ia Sophia has arrived. This “Way of Wisdom” offers an invitation to step upon a Living Spiral Path and discover a new understanding of what it means to embody the Mystical Feminine.
For the past fifteen years I have lived and taught within the Mystical Feminine. I have sat within many circles and immersions with women as we explored how to practically and powerfully engage Feminine wisdom in everyday life.
When my daughter was in eighth grade, she and her Girl Scout troop were beginning to explore ideas for their individual Silver Award projects.
Around our dinner table, we tossed around possibilities. Nothing landed. Nothing stirred real interest. So we encouraged her to do what we have always trusted. Stay open. Listen. Pay attention to what people are talking about in the world.
Driving into Soul Sanctuary last weekend, I noticed the trees were engaged in a wild dance.
I should have paid closer attention as I got out of the car, because the wind nearly took me with it. Walking to the door, I had to lean in and brace myself for a moment just to stay upright. The cold whipped through my clothes and found every uncovered space, sharing its bone-numbing chill.
We recently had a big snow in my neck of the woods.
Everyone was hunkered down. The fridge was full, chicken soup was bubbling on the stove, and my book pile sat patiently on the coffee table. As the snow covered the neighborhood and the plows dumped fresh mounds over our carefully shoveled walk, we took turns peeking outside.
As a kid, snowstorms were pure joy.
“I think we need to be friends.”
Those were the first words out of my mouth when I introduced myself to Rev. Hilda Covington. We’d just finished a county meeting of nonprofit mental health and social service agencies. She was the presenter that month. We almost didn’t meet because Hilda arrived an hour and a half late to a two-hour meeting.
Life has a rhythm. It speeds up and slows down according to mysterious forces.
Your personal rhythm dances with the celestial bodies, seasons of the year, developmental phases, and the pulse of your Soulful evolutionary process. Living in harmony with these rhythms is in many ways hard to understand as it is a complicated and deeply personal process. Your rhythm dances with everyone’s rhythm in the grand Cosmic Dance.
