MaXIMIze - Spring Equinox - Finding Balance

The Spring and Fall Equinoxes are when Day and Night are equal, and the day is balanced rather than tipped toward more or less of daylight or darkness. They are a reminder that there is a cycle of life, and there are times we have it easier and times we have it harder than others.

We have had a lot of discussion about work-life balance in recent months, and I am reminded by the upcoming Equinox that true balance comes rarely. Our focus is usually directed at one or more specific areas in our lives, not evenly at all six at any given time.

Our lives are full of peaks and valleys, not mesas or plateaus. Those come too, but as resting places, not permanent residences.

Whether we spend more time climbing peaks or sliding into the valleys depends on our choices in life. Sometimes life throws us a curveball and knocks us into the valleys, however we can choose to continue the downward slide, or we can choose to grab that branch, break our fall, and being our climb to the peak once more.

So where are you in life - sliding down in a valley or climbing toward that peak?

Until next time, Namaste!

MaXIMIze - What do You Want, You Really, Really Want?

We sprang forward time-wise this morning, a notice that Spring is just around the corner. And with that, this is a good time to really look at what it is we want to accomplish this year, so we can move forward toward our goals.

In order to do so successfully, we need to figure out what it is we truly want, put it out to the universe, and then work toward it diligently. If we are in alignment and focus, we will get what it is we are truly working toward.

In Suze Orman's book, The Money Class, she says to "stand in your truth." This takes deep work, peeling back the layers until you are seeing things clearly and unflinchingly, acknowledging the truth of your particular present situation and the work and commitment required to move from where you are right here, right now, to where it is you truly want to be.

So, where do you truly want to be in your life, and what are you going to have to commit to and do in order to get there? How are you going to stand in your truth in order to do so?

Until next time, Namaste!
