AYA TODAY

Before 2023

December 5th, 2022
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

Its holiday season and the energy feels super charged. Before 2023 we have things to do, stuff to buy, gifts to wrap, plans to make. We also need to organise when to get together with our loved ones to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve. To support the festivities I am now going to give you a list of 10 holiday stress-relievers. Enjoy!

10 Ways To Ease The Holiday Funk

1. Keep It Simple

What matters is that we spend time with our most important people, make memories and eat well. Be simple.

2. Relax

Do you want to do the right thing? Then take a deep breath. When you are relaxed, you have more to give everybody.

3. Take Inventory

As the year comes to a close, reflect on how far you’ve come. Let go, declutter, clean and make room for wonderful blessings.

4. Plan A Trip

Write a new chapter. 2023 is like an empty room, ready to be filled. Plan a beautiful trip and start the new year on a good foot.

5. Be Intentional

Regardless of whether you are buying a Christmas gift or planning a dinner, you are thinking about which drinks you should get or how and where you want to celebrate, have clear intentions. Like magic, everything works out for the best if you want the best.

6. Free Your Mind

The universe has your back! As long as you are willing to take life into your own hands and make things happen, trust, you will be supported. Dont worry, be happy.

7. Ease And Peace

Chamomile tea, lavender oil, candlelights, bubble baths are great. Chill beats, a massage and some time in the morning doing nothing is even better.

8. Communication

We all know, the pre-christmas period is the best time to tell special people what they mean to you. It feels good to know that you are loved. Express your sympathy.

9. Eat, Dream, Love

No, nobody forces you to be on a diet, especially not in December. Enjoy cookies, hot chocolate and hearty soul-food. You deserve it.

10. Movies

Christmas-markets, snow, fireworks, people partying. Life is good. Celebrate

Priorities

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

Another week is almost over and now is a perfect time to reflect on how far we have come. Are you also becoming more and more aware of the importance of having priorities? If we go from person to person, day to day, task to task without feelings, connection, or destination, we remain unsatisfied. However, if we open ourselves to the right people, chosen goals and tasks, a well-being awakens in us that even inspires. Hold tight to what you love, even if only in thought. A clear conscience is like a healthy breeding ground that helps you to grow and live your best life; the one truly meant for you.

I have learned to never cut short family and important relationships, integrity, self-respect and respect of others, accepting and following the truth, doing what’s right, even if it’s difficult and yes, this mindset made my life so much more enjoyable. Now I really feel like I belong and rest assured, that is priceless.

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much.” –Luke 16:10 (ESV)

Truly, I have respect for anyone who doesn’t compromise on what they want. Life tries to bend and twist us away from what we set out to do. Don’t let it. It’s knowing what to incorporate and what to fight back on that makes all the difference. May this next chapter be full of lovely priorities, that accumulate into beautiful stories; the ones that we tell at the campfire, or when we drink hot chocolate in a mountain hut. This is it. This is your only life, so, make it truly yours.

Faith, Hope, Love

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

A new work week begins and everyone has something to do. The world is calling us out of our cozy homes to explore the unknown and live life, create and build. Some hurry with it, want to experience a lot and some don’t. There are people whose goals require flexibility. Despite their own management skills, their contentment rests on a divine plan upon which they may always lean on. You are one of those people. Especially in times of change. All of our lives are very complex. Faith, hope and love hold everything together.

Psychologist and psychoanalyst, Erik Erikson, conducted an enormous amount of research on the topic development. He says that a general sense that the world is predictable and reliable (basic trust) is formed by a loving and sensitive community. According to his theory, successful completion of each stage of life results in a healthy personality. And this is exactly what we all crave, want and even need for ourselves and the people sharing life with us. Here is a chart that I find helpful and may further inspire your personal development and big picture understanding.

Closing Statement: We depend on each other. Consider, your time on this planet, for as long as it may last, can spread joy. You can be a source of warmth, care, wisdom and love. To make the most of life we must agree on supporting each others best interest. We must dare to understand each other. And once connected and in sync with the symbiosis of nature, we all can be surrounded by basic trust and no matter what decision has to be made, it will be in harmony with the big picture. It’s good to know that as long as you trust and don’t stop developing your personality, you can’t go wrong. You will be led to the right people. Its a vibe. Keep shining bright.

AYA.

Drops of Jupiter

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

You don’t have to know how to proceed. You already are on your way. Turn down the volume now and listen to the naturalness of the dynamic world. Find your place there. It’s easy. And when you get nervous and fear creeps in, you can watch this pattern. Don’t engage in it anymore. Reject its power over you.

Take a deep breath… Today focus on what is good for you. Keep letting go what’s weighing you down. Keep going. Drip, flow, move. Just don’t think about it too much. Follow your instincts. Go on. We’ve all had our fair share of bad experiences. Times when we’ve focused on the wrong person and reason, denied and even suppressed our intuition. Today you only have to confirm that you have already managed to recognize what you no longer want to be. And you are free. So, before you rush right back into something stupidly rushed, don’t do anything, rush into stillness instead of speed, promise nothing and don’t stick to anything. Do not force, do not defy defiance. Let go and slow down.

Enjoy knowing nothing and you will understand everything.

Secrets

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

Once you become conscious, you don’t stop becoming more conscious. It’s like you woke up from a deep sleep and now all you are concerned with is how to defeat the villain, for a better world. And to do this you even have special gifts, which you manage to control over time. Superman was not just a story. In real life you must know the potential you have. You must know yourself. And yes to all the wanderers, you can be you and achieve whatever it is you imagine. Drop the movies for a moment. What you need is discipline and vision. Let me explain

Discipline is the cooperation between body, mind and spirit, a conjunction; the holy trinity. You can’t go inside the house, if you can’t open the door. To move through time you need body parts, an awareness of space and intelligence. An inner dialogue mobilizes you. If you know why you are doing it for, you will not stop doing it. Discipline develops. Welcome. With vision I meant an awareness of potential. Combine your type of discipline with your sense of vision and you will soon be on your way to never be bored again. Congrats. Today was the day you defeated the villain. Time to celebrate. 𓂀

Life Between Lives

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

We so often misunderstand life. We think we have to figure it out, make it happen, lead the way; when in fact, we are life. I learned about what family means, how care can sooth, love can strengthen and fear can help. I learned what pain and confusion are about, that time heals, that inquiry never stops and that I can be free, flaws and all. Fictional distraction may appreciate my longing for desire. Surrender washes it away though. I feel resonant with the concept of discovery and that it may be better for me to go and discover the truth, then to not know at all. And so, one by one, my fixation to certain people, or aspects is dissolving, beliefs are changing underneath my conscious awareness and oddly enough new set ups for experiencing life on Earth are being built, as I simply continue to do the most, to release resistance.

Can you see how life is all about you and not at all about you? We have been enabled, fuelled and made to the main character of a story, we can cowrite. Remember, we are life. We have always been able to reach each other. If not in person, then in spirit. We sense each other. We agree, and we have always agreed. Life is a co-creation of all that exists. Black, white and all the shades in between. All ties in together, on some level. You have to be a rebel to be reading philosophy, and I got to be a lunatic, bragging about creation. For all we know, life is a passing away of the passing away, and some heart-felt moments inside the in-betweens. Don’t stress about it, unless you are afraid of taking risks, because life is ultimately a streamline of choices. Choose, then deal with the risk, over and over again, until you die. And if in some cases you decide to stay rebels, know, I will be there with you, opposing the status quo, as a lunatic, casually living life in between lives.

Merci

Goodbye Dr. Smalltalk

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

You only have this one chance, and of all the opportunities, and they are countless, which one is yours? We get lost in fights so often. Many of you are no longer even aware that you are fighting. Not even that it is against yourself. You love to blame what hurts you, to shift what hurts you onto others, and to run away from your own responsibilities. Small talk won’t get you very far. Realize that you can’t look away forever. The time will come when all that you felt powerless against is gone, was yesterday and then what? Burn your idea of the world, of the future and even of your past. All lies. Your thoughts are malleable, interpretable, irrelevant. What matters today is what you are doing right now and who you are and where you are. Don’t even think about the rest. Stay here and realize you only have one chance. Do you like what you see?

Shut out the world and look inside of yourself. Is your full potential active? Where do you compromise? Where are you being stopped? Why can’t you shine fully? Who or what is stopping you? Be honest with yourself. Have you got caught up in an idea and now you’re too deep into it that staying lost seems better than starting over? Nobody can decide that for you and nobody can help you live with the guilt if you don’t do something about it. No one will be there at the end, realize that today. You are alone in the heart of your life. You make the decisions, so you will face the consequences. Postponing until tomorrow doesn’t exist, because tomorrow it’s already made you sick. The universe counts. Don’t waste your life anymore. Breathe deeply and open up. It’s time.

Dream a little dream for me

written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰

Don’t be afraid to dream. You have no choice but to dream and trust, because if you stray away from your imaginations and faith, you lose sight of your true path. And so all you have to do is believe and trust life. Don’t ever let circumstances change your heart. Be inspired by everything coming your way. Whatever it may be, it can only help you remember that you have a dream to pursue – your life´s story. It cannot be taken from you and everything that happens belongs to it. Your story may not perfect, not without scary moments or weirdness, and that’s what makes it special. Your story is just like you – lovable.

We all deserve to dream and believe in magic. The world is full of colors, stories and feelings to immerse yourself in. You are part of this world. You can create from your imagination and share it with others! You have a say in here. Become aware of the world surrounding you today and then dive into your own little world of dreams. But don’t tell anyone about it. Your dream should remain your well-kept secret. Dream and dream. You will see, there is so much to discover, when you start to breathe magic into it by imagining your own tales. Life is beautiful as long as you remain yourself, pure and full of joy. You always have my permission to do just that. Dream.
