Working from Center

When you feel you are in the thick of things, tapping into your own inner resources will help bring strength.

When we are “in the thick of it,” overwhelmed by too many things that need our attention, it’s important to remember that we are never given more than we can handle. When life’s challenges make us question this, our best coping mechanism is to follow the reliable and well-known course to our calm center and anchor ourselves there. It is for these times that we have been practicing regularly, so that our mind, body, and spirit will know how to find the peace within. Even in the midst of seeming chaos, a deep breath can help us turn within to find the space to work from, the calm at the center of the storm.

Tapping into our inner resources we begin again, bringing our focus to the needs of the present moment. Asking “why?” shifts our energy away from the task at hand. We can seek answers to those questions once we get to the other side of the present challenge. For now, we accept what is. Once we have collected scattered energy and created space, inspiration will strike, help will arrive, and what seemed impossible will either become possible or we will find it has become unnecessary. The flow of the universe and its perfect order has room to move in our lives when we get ourselves and our extraneous thoughts out of the way.

After the thick has become thin again, we have the opportunity to learn from the situation with a better idea of our true capabilities. We can now ask ourselves the “why” questions with the goal of fine-tuning our lives. Perhaps we have taken on more than is ours to do or made commitments out of obligation rather than insight. It could just be the ebb and flow and life, or we may be receiving life lessons on a fast track in preparation for something wonderful to come. But when we have a chance to make new choices, we know the best ones are made when we work from center. Amen! ✨

One of the best things about being a designer is seeing your jewelry on someone. Of course, I see it on me but seeing it on someone else is completely different. It’s truly amazing experiencing your vision come to life when you see your designs styled by someone who has chosen your jewelry. Michelle Yarn On HSN always looks gorgeous and I am flattered she owns and loves my jewelry. (Pictured here wearing the Customer Pick “Ella”Necklace and Customer Pick “Reese” bracelets.)I am flattered and humbled you love it too! I love reading your reviews, seeing your posts and getting your messages. I will see you back on HSN Oct 14 @5p. Thank you so much for being part of my community and for making my brand possible ♥️

HSN Host Marlo Smith nice brows. ✨
