Meditate with Purpose! It Works!

The phrase for the week is "Meditation Works.”

Begin the week by tapping into the spiritual you! The answers you seek will be revealed. Be open.

What I like best about meditation is it can be like a mini vacation without leaving home. Because you must focus and quiet your mind, you eventually reach a higher level of awareness and inner calm. I was surprised to learn that you can meditate anywhere and at any time. I find it hard to meditate unless it is perfectly quiet, but others can meditate amidst utter chaos.

There are countless techniques for meditating, find one that works for you and practice each day this week. If you meditate regularly, consider taking your meditation to the next level and go deeper than you have in the past.

I meditate with purpose to connect with all knowing voice within.

Communicate for Outcomes!

The word for the week is "Communication” Communication is central to all aspects of life. It’s a critical skill for maintaining your personal as well as professional relationships. · Builds trust · Establishes credibility · Lays the foundation for great leadership Be aware of the nonverbal cues you receive when speaking your mind. Silence does not automatically mean agreement. When communicating, ask don’t tell . Being asked lights up “positive visioning areas” in the brain, associated with greater cognitive and perceptual openness. Being told can activate “negative emotional attractor” areas of the brain, causing defensiveness. I communicate clearly and listen for clarity and understanding.
