Tips from Audacity

Day dream for 30 seconds if I felt good enough what would I do next? 

• Add some really bright colours to your doodles.
• Wear that very bright, bold piece of jewellery you bought when you were feeling audacious. 
• Wear the lovely hat or shoes or clothing you thought was a good purchase.  
• Where it around the house for a while and keep looking in the mirror and tell yourself you love it, even if that is hard to do.  Have fun with how you say it.
• Take your hat, shoes, clothing out for a date, adventure, taking on the personae of them! 
• Doodle, draw an audacious character, personae and name her/him/it. 
• Text yourself or put a reminder on the computer and ask what if you were audacious what would you do?
• Create, send yourself a permission slip to be audacious.  
• Send yourself a love note telling you how loved you are.
• Send yourself an invitation for an audacious date with you, a friend, a colleague, some you love or someone you don’t. 
• Gift yourself the really crazy cup and saucer perhaps that you have always wanted!
• Change the meal you usually have planned to something completing different without telling anyone and have fun watching their reactions! 
• Say no to cooking, someone else can do it, you are going to have a candle lit bath with candles or going to play for 30 minutes!!!

DEEP: Body Love's Theme Glorious Audacity

Welcome to this blog which continues the theme of Audacity as featured in September’s 2014 Newsletter: Glorious Audacity  

“When we are completely ourselves, we grace the world with a uniqueness that colours it with the interest and the variety brilliantly possible for us as humans.  We live a more fulfilling and energetic life because we are not using all the energy it requires to constantly please others.” Jill Badonsky, The Nine Modern Day Muses and A Bodyguard. 

I love this, because, well its true!!  It really is! I have seen countless people transform when they start to get just how much they are being guided by ‘shoulds’, other people’s opinion, living life from the outside.   It is an epidemic and so are the transformations, yay!!!

This is a mantra of mine.  “If I didn't care what other’s thought, what would I do?” This comes from a compassionate place and is always a curious inquiry  I have lost count of how many times I have thought “oh S***” this means I need to do it then.  It has not always worked out as I hoped, in fact a lot times it has not but because it was authentic, coming from my passion from what brings me joy I did not use it as a measure of failure, personally!  I really was proud of myself for giving it go and continue with curiosity, excitement, fear, fun (I love fun) and a feeling of being alive.  I am human and so this does not happen all the time but mostly.

My response

If Audacity was an animal, maybe it might be a beautiful vibrant dolphin who allows itself to be.  It swims, dives, plays knows that whoever loves dolphins will enjoy and share in the absolute pleasure of its being and those who don’t, it does not matter.  It would not even have that thought!  It also knows that there are like minded species and it is part of something much bigger.

When I come from this energy, this space, I am so inspired and can take on the energy of this wonderful species to inspire me.  How cool is that!
