We’ve had the Olympics on over the past couple of weeks and I’m so proud as we came second in the medals table with a whopping 67 medals won for team GB! I think each and every athlete from every nation did an amazing job and how wonderful it must be to represent your country in a sport you love and have worked so hard at.
We need to have these reminders of the broad vision of how extraordinary people can be and of the immense potential of human existence. These times, like the Olympics, can bring about that inner connection and remind us of the bigger picture, that we’re not on our own, we are all inter-connected.
And have you noticed when the world looks good and you get caught up in that passion of life, you love being alive, and the minute details of life just don’t bother you? Yet when you feel negative, you often feel negative towards others or feel the world is against you. As you know, it’s your perception; it’s the glasses you see through that determine your view of life. Our thoughts really do create our reality. If you believe you can’t move out of your comfort zone then that becomes fact and you’ll live absolutely within the bounds of the niche you’ve made for yourself. It’s so self-limiting and life simply can’t be lived to the full.
As a Life Coach, one of the creative questions I might ask someone who has boxed themselves in is “What is the song you are singing?”. It enables me to enter my client’s life on a different level to see the glasses they are wearing. And I want to remind you that singing is good for us all. It releases endorphins, chemicals which have a positive effect on our moods, and it also improves our breathing and posture, boosts confidence and can bring us together just like those extra special occasions mentioned above. Best of all singing is free, so don’t keep it under wraps. Sing and make joyful noises whether tuneful or not!
I’d love to hear what you’re singing right now, get in touch or comment to let me know.
