Procrastination, Manifestation & Inspiration


So, I'm just "sitting" here at my desk going a little crazy. It's so hard for me to just "sit" here. My body wants to get up, dance, move, stretch and create. So this is where I'll be until 5:30pm...here..."sitting". I keep thinking, "When do I take the plunge, when do I trade this office job for a more creative one?". Truth be told I have been saying this for while now,  it's getting old and Im not getting any younger. Im like "WTH are you gonna do girl, WHAAAT?!".

I was listening to a talk by Wayne Dyer on Youtube last week and he talked about Manifesting. He says:  "Whatever you do, don't tell anybody what is is you want to manifest. Once you tell somebody else, you immediately move into the world of the ego. Then you have to define it and explain it. Manifesting doesn't take place from the world of particles, it takes place from the world of the observer of spirit. Keep the ego out of it as much as possible and the way to do that is to have a relationship between you and God." He goes on to say, "As you think so shall it be. Don't put your thoughts on what you don't want. Put you attention on what is and it will continue to manifest." I have told my friends and family all the things I was going to do and what Wayne said I feel is true "Once you tell someone, you have to define it." And I have defined it, explained it and defended it once the questions start popping up. "What happened to you doing __________?" then I think why did I have to tell anyone anything.  I'm going to try to keep what I want to manifest between me and the Creator from now on which means I can't tell you either. You'll just have to hear about it when it comes to be.

 I recently received an email that my dance teacher sent to our group for a little inspiration. It was a performance of "The LXD" aka The Legend of Extraordinary Dancers on TED Talks. I was so blown away by them. The way they "feel" the music is so beautiful, I had goosebumps. They are truly superhuman. I have been watching and studying all of their clips, following them on Twitter and FB. I'm officially a groupie, lol! Just observing their Art in motion has inspired me to dig a little deeper within myself. I started reflecting on my group's performance songs and listening more closely. What do I feel when I hear this instrument or this rhythm, Am I completing certain moves or rushing through them, Am I breathing, Am I present? Another one of my teachers asked the class, just before we began our choreography, "how many people feel like they are giving 100%?". None of us raised our hands. I felt like I was somewhere around 80%, but commited to giving more and after that...I danced.  I have just started working with a trainer because I felt my dancer needed more endurance and strength.I do feel much more stronger than I did before I started. My Tribal belly dance classes have been helping in aiding in my posture and strength. It's all about nuturing my dancer inside and out these days.

Light and Love!
