Stay out of the ditch!

Greetings! With the new year it is a great opportunity for us to make some changes and to shift into the new energies that are awaiting us. These energies have been beckoning you for a while now, yet many of you are still struggling, wondering why you are up one day and down the next. Wondering why you hear Spirit and then you don’t.

My dear brothers and sisters, your struggle comes from not living the life that your Creator intended for you. As always, the choice is yours, but you cannot live in two opposing worlds and expect to thrive in either. You cannot expect to rise above when you still participate in behaviors that are keeping you anchored in lower vibrational energies.

The solution is actually quite simple: change your focus, change your life. Do you want success, prosperity, spiritual enlightenment, physical fitness, a soul mate? What is your focus on? Does what you profess to want match your thoughts and actions?

When I was learning to ride a motorcycle and taking my safety course, the one thing I learned that has stayed with me to this day, even though I no longer ride, is this: you go where you look. This was drilled into us over and over… if you focus on something other than the road ahead of you, you’ll end up in the ditch!

I have applied this lesson to every aspect of my life. If I am focused on something other than what I truly want or desire, then that is where I am going to end up. This can be a hard lesson to learn, as I can certainly attest!

You have heard the saying that your body is a temple, yet you continue to treat it as a dumping ground! This pertains not only to the physical body, which is comprised of such things as bones, muscles, blood and organs, but also to the spirit and mind that are housed in this human body as well.

You want clarity of mind, a connection to Spirit and a fit body, yet you cloud your senses and compromise your body’s ability to function properly with such things as alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugars, processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle.

You watch television shows and movies that promote violence and perversion and then wonder why you are in a foul mood, struggling with depression, or why you are constantly encountering people who are full of anger and malice. You long for a soul mate, or a circle of friends that will truly embrace you, yet you spend your free time in places such as bars and nightclubs where you keep meeting those whose energy is of a lower vibration and do not have your best interests at heart.

Experiencing the physical and spiritual life you want is truly as easy as changing your focus. Changing your focus is not a passive act, however. You will need to follow through and put action behind your focus. Eliminate mind and spirit numbing substances, enjoy nature and fresh air, move your body with determination and intention, spend your free time in places where others congregate who are on the same life-path that you desire for yourself.

Change your focus and stay out of the ditch!

Blessings,
DeAnna
