What makes life interesting? Being involved! Don’t shy away from experiences where you can learn a lot about yourself. If you avoid others in your environment because you are not sure where they are coming from, you are missing an opportunity to learn more about your feelings and emotions and how others affect them.

Pitfalls:

Take everything head-on today. Do not keep yourself from coming up with solutions to situations you may be faced with that are perceived to be caused by others. Just relax and enjoy life.

Solutions:

The biggest key today is to stay detached. True detachment comes from realizing you are the most important person to yourself. No one is more important than you. Just think of all of the lifetimes you have invested in yourself to find out who you really are. Is that not the goal you came into this lifetime to achieve: learning the difference between you, others and your environment?

Today, the energy is all about being who you really are. Are you pretending to be what others want you to be or are you following your true feelings and going by your own experience? If you trust yourself, you will always be in the right place at the right time.

Pitfalls:

Catering to others’ whims and expectations may bring you grief today. Just stay relaxed and open your heart to what is right for you. If you do that for yourself, everything will be right for others as well.

Solutions:

While reaching your potential is easy, do not lower your expectations of what you want to accomplish just to please others. By following what is right for you, you will be the perfect example of what it means to be successful and fulfilled. That is all people want (an example of what it means to be decisive and dynamic).

Take the time today to relax and regroup your experiences from the previous week. This needs to be a day of rest or relaxation. Remember, you can still be in action and have that quiet repose inside.

Pitfalls:

Not taking time for yourself today is the biggest pitfall to not keeping your energy compact and directed. You will realize that you cannot move forward unless you know exactly where you are now.

Solutions:

Taking action in the following week depends on what you learned about yourself this week. The problem that most people have is that they do not respect themselves enough to stop and listen to their own inner guidance. Do not gloss over anything. Keep your energy relaxed and open to new ideas and situations.

In order to accomplish your purpose, you need to have resolve. The dictionary defines this as coming “to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something): I have resolved that I shall live to the full.”

Pitfalls:

Making a decision is the key. If you know what you want but have not made a decision that you really want to accomplish it, then you are still back in the area of procrastination or complacency. This is where most of the people on planet Earth are.

Solutions:

Making a decision is not as difficult as it sounds. The reason we have difficulty with it is because we always seem to make our decisions based on what others want but not us. Think about what you want first, then coordinate with others on how to achieve it for yourself. If it is right for you, it will most likely be the right thing for everyone who loves you.

It will continue to be a dynamic week if you create what it is that you want. Yesterday, we urged you to further clarify your priorities. Now is the time to take the first step toward accomplishing everything you want to achieve.

Pitfalls:

Always thinking of others sounds great on the surface, but being an example is even better. Once you master an area within yourself, you can pass it on to others. Who wants to follow someone who is only a theory of their real selves? By living what you share with others, you are able to set a pace that will work for you and help others in the process.

Solutions:

By focusing on what makes you happy instead of trying to make others happy, you have already found the solution. Your enthusiasm and passion for life is what makes it all worthwhile. Keep a big picture and delegate the areas of your life that are not exciting or are a burden. Where there is a will there is a way.

Being straightforward is the key today. Do not pull any punches; be honest with yourself and others. This understanding will help you overcome any challenges that may come your way. If you evade what is in front of you, you may not achieve 100 percent of what you want.

Pitfalls:

Evading an issue is the worst thing you can do today. Be honest with yourself and realize that there are always two sides to every story. If you do not look at things in a frank and direct way, you may end up glossing over an area that needs to be looked at.

Solutions:

If you look at everything from a factual standpoint, then you will be fine today. Remember, in order for everything to fall into place, you need to have the what, when, where and why; and not to worry because the who will follow. Do not put the who first because then you are only thinking of yourself. Do not confuse this with being loyal to yourself first. As a matter of fact, the me first, me second or me third point-of-view is not being true to you at all.

As we told you in yesterday’s post, the energy flowing through planet Earth changes on a daily basis. Knowing about it helps you to identify pitfalls before they have a chance to throw you off course, as well as be clear about solutions. Notice we place an emphasis on pitfalls and solutions? That’s because in addition to including a general introduction to the each day’s Energy, all of our Energy of the Day blog posts will include information on Pitfalls and Solutions.

Pitfalls are best characterized as the pressures we feel and experience within our own environments; while solutions are just that… ways of thinking and being that help us avoid the pitfalls.

Read up on today’s Energy of the Day and let us know if you have any questions:

The Energy of the Day is SIMPLE

Everything in life is simple if you break it down into smaller pieces. The key is to realize we are living in three distinct energy patterns: Personal, Business, and Social.

When you mix those three areas together and get them confused, you are not being loyal to yourself first. You may decide to do business in the social or get your social mixed in with the business side of life.

Pitfalls:

Let yourself relax today because you may feel pressure to do things you may not want to do right away. This is the pitfall in the energy today. When you feel areas of your life are becoming too complicated, take a break and realize that everything is timing.

Solutions:

Come up with a solution for every aspect of your life. Any new facts or opportunities that come your way are an opportunity to learn more about yourself. When you react rather than respond to what is going on, you may be missing your timing on getting the most out of the situation at hand. Try it. It will work for you.
