I can walk away from someone who has hurt me.
.
I can leave an uncomfortable situation in search of comfort.
.
I can choose where I go, who I talk to and what I read or watch on T.V..
.
Yep, I can pretty much choose and change anything about my environment.
.
But, it doesn’t matter how beautiful the sunset, how clean the house is, or how well I am being treated by others if I am grumpy, angry, sad or sick.
.
The power of perception can turn a small apartment with zero upgrades and nothing in the fridge into a zen-filled place where gratitude for shelter and heat are overflowing.
.
Or if I choose to focus on what I am lacking, I can find despair, frustration or anger.
.
Yep, one thing I have learned is, nothing in the world can outshine whatever negativity I may have allowed to creep into my heart and my mind.
.
The good news is, even when my outside circumstances seem out of control I can always just change my perspective and all is well.
.
Happiness is a state of being.
.
With the right outlook, no outside circumstances can ever take your joy.
.
Every day I choose to look through the lens of love ?.
.
I realize that my mind doesn’t
My mind could be my most loving, loyal and supportive friend.
I have chosen to drop my anchor in the sea of peace.
.
I recognize that even the most peaceful sea can get a little rocky from time to time.
.
Even then I choose to find gratitude.
.
Even if all I can find is gratitude for the contrast that has come to guide me back to my heart.
Debbie Dixon Author of “The Path to Freedom Your guide to living the life of your dreams” Is a Life Coach, inspirational speaker and Yoga teacher who stumbled into her first yoga class in 1997 and the spark was almost instantaneous--love at first sight. Having studied and taught yogic philosophy for many years before being formally introduced to the asana, taking her studies to the mat gave her the opportunity to experience with her own body, mind and spirit, the miracles this practice is capable of creating in ones’ life. Her journey into asana began with Ashtanga Yoga and eventually her passion expanded into Hatha, Kundalini and Yin yoga. Nine years ago she taught her first yoga class and shortly after she opened (Seven Hot Yoga) a studio/community she owned and ran for over four years.
She Has been holding “Realizing your Dreams” workshops and seminars for over 12 years now inspiring, motivating people to step outside of their comfort zones and into a life filled with freedom, prosperity, joy, happiness and infinite possibilities. Now she guides people into their own self-discovery everyday as a yoga teacher. She also leads guided meditations and does yoga retreats all over the world. These retreats allow people to use yoga, meditation and her techniques to reconnect with their purpose and deepest desires, the essence of their being, while disconnecting from their everyday routines and finding themselves in a setting of paradise.
Her ultimate goal is to offer a guide out of the mundane cycle of waking up, working, going to bed and into a passion driven, purpose filled life where wishes are granted instantly, prayers are answered and love, light, peace and happiness exist in every breath. She provides an easy to use instruction manual for creating a life where you are no longer an observer of the life of your dreams but, a participant.
