What is your one percent?

This is a wonderful way to learn to listen to your heart

When you are feeling tired
Or generally uninspired,
This gentle technique
Helps you connect
With a postive path ahead.

Take a moment to close your eyes
Gently close them.
Bring your awareness to your heart,
Your physical heart,
But also your spiritual heart,
In the center of your chest.

And kindly ask your heart
"What do you need?"
"What are you longing for?"
"What matters most?"

Listen attentively.
Don't judge, crush or criticise.
Just listen,
Receive the wisdom of your heart.

What is your heart’s desire?

Allow an image to appear
That represents your heart's desire.
Make sure you get it very clear,
Very vivid.

And then open your eyes.
Draw the image,
Write down the words.
Suspend judgement,
Swallow all the reasons
Why it's impossible.
Just watch what came up for you.
Honour it.
Allow the desire to be there.
Request for it to come true,
Or for something even better to happen.

You can read about it in this blog:

This is how to ‘pray’

Then come up with
The 1% you can do.
Just 1%
To bring you closer
To your heart's desire.
One percent is possible isn't it?

How to stop drifting through life?

Allow yourself to think creatively and enjoy new opportunities

Does your body need warmth?
A holiday in the sun?
See if you can book one.
And if not, be creative,
Imagine your 1%:
Maybe use a free voucher
To join a local gym,
Only to visit their hot sauna.

If your heart longs for sleep
Like a bear in winter,
Or for a month of solitude,
See if you can book a weekend off
Just by yourself.
Maybe you can stay
In the house of a friend
Who is on holiday?
Is that utterly impossible?
Then imagine your 1%:
Maybe skip a get-together
And go for a walk by yourself?
A tea on the sofa without your phone?

Think solutions.
Be creative.
Just 1%.
And that will feel so good,
That you'll go for another 1%.
And another. And another.

Think out of the box:
Order pizza this Christmas,
So you don't need to stress
About shopping and cooking.

Rip up your to-do list.
Rest
Rest
Rest
Give yourself permission
To listen to your heart.

May you start 2022 feeling better.
May it have a ripple effect,
So those you love
Will benefit too.

Life is precious. Use it well.

With love, Karin
