Living The Island Life

Living the Island Life is allowing events to happen without expectations or beliefs holding you back. It’s letting go of controlling everything you want to happen, and just living with what is. This is True Flow.

Also, so much depends on our attitudes and really Being Present to life around us. Every day should be seen as a vacation day. I often hear ‘another sunny day in Paradise’ being said by those down South. What an experience to have summer all year round! It’s a frame of mind as well as a way of life. Everything is what you think it is.

As with all thoughts in the Universe, this insightful email came my way. Are your beliefs liberating you or stopping you? Danielle LaPorte offers 8 questions to ask yourself about your beliefs. Great information showing how your beliefs influence your actions and healing.

I begin by saying this is another 5 Star Day, wherever I am. Then, I plan a painting, or do something I love. But most important of all, I let it go to see where life takes me. Allowing the Unknown to take over creates magic.

I wanted to capture this feeling of beauty, light, and flow in the above painting. The Sky just flowed. It was one I had seen over the Sea. But being away from creating for some days, I began to struggle. Nothing worked. The flower became overworked, the water too static. I walked away.

Sometimes what we ‘think’ it should be is not the best choice for anything: not things, events, or especially people. I switched gears and immersed myself in the beauty around me. The scent of woody things mingled with the fragrant flowers blooming on trees. Spring comes early in the South! Also the Sun shines for an hour longer than up North! Add this to the things I never thought of, things I never knew, and things that make a difference. Magic indeed!

Living the Island Life can create the life of our Dreams.

I remember a recurring dream I’ve had where I lived a simple life somewhere warm, would wear a bathing suit every day, and had no schedules, deadlines, or time frames. The only thing that mattered was being in the rhythm of life, flow, ease, and feelings. What a great way to BE!

While on my walk, three huge ravens flew over. They soared together so easily, so close, so in tune with Nature’s Flow. To me, this is mindfully taking care of my Self in all ways, body, mind, and spirit.

When I returned to the painting, it just flowed. Creating is like life, in ease, flow, and movement, when in Harmony. No struggle trying to control everything, but just accepting and allowing life to flow. This is living confidently, with clarity, and knowing the next right step on the path.

So what holds you back? Eliminate the limiting thoughts and Liberate yourself! Instead of seeing the END of something, Believe that the adventure continues every day in beautiful ways, if you let it.

Know that every day is an experience worth your energy, time, and focus. Never think, ‘But I’m __ __ years old! ‘ Ask yourself what baggage are you attaching to your body and life energy with a number? Everything just is, until you attach a belief to it. My grandmother was saying her usual mantra, ‘I hope I live a long life’, up until she left us at 99.

Beliefs can stop you, or free you. It’s always your choice. Therefore, step into living the Island Life, and explore new ways to evolve and grow. Live long and prosper!
