Alvert Muse - Think Differently - Break the rules

For some reason this is one of my favourite Muses. I really did not know that Albert Einstein who this is based on was so much fun and accepted that making mistakes was part of life and actually innovative. Don't Make Life Weight, living life from the inside out is not about not losing weight. It is about learning to listen to your body to nourish him/her and to learn what they really love to do and trust him/her in all you do and eventually with all decision making for the life you want to lead. To have fun, connect, enjoy, build resilience and you will handle anything.


For so long when we have been told what to eat, how to exercise, how to be we continue to look to the outside of ourselves to gain approval to see if we are doing ok and doing the right thing. We lose the connection with ourselves with what matters to us. It is hard to know where to start and what to do.


I did a workshop on Friday, it was a small intimate group and I am grateful for that. What I noticed was that I had a lot of material that has been gathered over the years and could be overwhelming. All we need to do is just start somewhere. Just take one notion that is different or that breaks the rules and just try it on for size.

So if you have continually tried to change the outside of you to make yourself feel better, what is one small step could you choose to change the inside, just one small step.

It may be checking in with your breathing for 3 breathes, doing something that gives you pleasure then noticing where in the body do you feel the pleasure, eating something yummy learning that there is no good or bad (actually that is really quite a big step), relaxing, reading, playing, even for just 5 minutes to start with, just showing up with that notion and noticing how it makes you feel and where in the body do you feel it. If you do not know then try to accept the notion that your body will have experienced pleasure also.

Being creative, what ever that looks like is the best way to connect to yourself without even trying and thinking about it. I promise you.

How would it be to revisit your childhood imagination. What stimulated your imagination when you were little? What books did you read? What did you pretend to be? What next?

This could be a small 5 minute step. I just love colouring in, doodling too and colouring in the shapes.

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein, Swiss-German-American physicist.
