This week has been another week of big growth for me practicing all the principles I have learned thus far. I have continued to practice daily PEACE even with everything still a little crazy around me. The result of practicing peace moment by moment has been far more rewarding than I could have ever expected.



First, It has greatly impacted my work. Normally my job usually has me distracted, left me completely drained, void of any energy at the end of the day and my performance and accuracy have been suffering. Both have improved and thanks to practicing peace I still have life at the end of the day and no longer feel void of energy. Second, while I am still dealing with the normal everyday issues of raising a teenage son, with practicing peace I no longer feel like I have to fix everything at every movement and I can take each issue and deal with them one at a time. And lastly, my mother has been in hospital and just had surgery yesterday. It has been a bit difficult getting updates on her condition as she lives in another state and thanks to HIPPA laws I have been somewhat in the unknown on her condition. Again, practicing peace I have chosen to just trust and have faith that I will know what I need to know when I need to know it and whatever is going to be will be. I am happy to say she made it thru the surgery and is stable.



Now, on to this weeks principle BEINGwhich is what I also consider NOT DOING! I have really been practicing not doing when it comes to the bigger areas in my life and the areas I wish to change. First one being career. I have had ideas pass thru my head this week but have chosen to not do research, make calls, talk to anyone about it and not take any action whatsoever to move forward with any changes to my current situation . With dating and relationships I really did not want to think about that area or talk about it at all but I did have my chat this week with Tricia and it was about about dating and relationships. I have not put any effort into any major thoughts on that or pursued searching on match.com or any other dating sites. I have let myself off the hook of having any obligations of needing to do anything but really continuing to focus on PEACE and just BEING.



So what did I discover in this week of just BEING? That I have the power to choose peace in my life on a daily basis and only live in the present. That I am a really strong, confident and secure woman. That I know myself more than anyone. That I get to choose what I want in and for MY life. I learned how much I really do like and love myself. Most importantly I learned just how intuitive I AM and I need to listen to my own inner voice about everything in and about my life. I do not need to look outside myself for anything.
