Does caring for others bring you Joy? Would you like to have more Fun as you Focus on taking Care of someone else?
How do you think doing this would make you feel? Close your eyes, take a deep breath in and let it out. Imagine that as you are caring for someone you are allowing yourself to experience more joy. Does this also make you feel more energized? Would you like to create this feeling more often, especially as you continue caring for others?
“Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.”
~Helen Keller
The most important step you need to take is to value yourself enough to take the time to make finding joy an essential part of your day as you care for others. It takes a conscious decision and a willingness to practice finding joy in the middle of all the routine tasks that come with your role as a caregiver. The more you do, you will be able to clearly know and have the energy for the tasks that need your immediate attention.
“The path of joy involves valuing yourself
and monitoring where you put your time.”
~Sanaya Roman
By allowing yourself to experience more joy, no matter what you are doing or who you are with, you will be able to uplift those you are caring for as well. As the Law of Attraction states, “like attracts like” and “what you focus on expands.” Therefore, your joyful energy and a good sense of humor will pleasantly affect everyone in your world including those you are caring for.
“Joy is increased by spreading it to others.”
~Robert Murray McCheyne
To help you become successful at applying the Law of Attraction to have more fun and experience more joy, especially as a caregiver, you can use this simple process.
-
Create a list of at least 3 things that you love to do that make you feel more joyful as a caregiver. Leave space in between to write more about each item.
-
Below each of these things you listed above, write down why you enjoy doing each one.
-
Then put down how doing each one makes you feel. Be specific.
-
Now ask yourself what stops you from doing the things you enjoy more often as you care for others.
-
Find a way to easily incorporate doing each one of them in your daily routine. Be creative.
-
Promise yourself to have fun doing them on a regular basis.
-
Leave time to follow spontaneous inspired action that adapts the way you continue to incorporate doing each one
-
Start a Success Journal and keep track of the results you experience from doing this process.
-
Be open to new ideas and ways to find the joy in being a caregiver.
As you regularly practice doing this process, you will have more fun and find more joy as you continue to care for others.
“There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.”
~Khalil Gibran

How to Empower Your Life by Reinventing the White Horse Syndrome!

Do you allow yourself to be continuously hurt by others you have somehow idolized? Have you put them on a pedestal, made into a knight in shining armor or a perfect princess? Then when they show their unique human side, you become devastated thinking that they aren’t who you thought they were. You are not alone. It is often referred to as the White Horse Syndrome. The Urban Dictionary describes this as, “A condition in which a person’s frame of thought in all things romantic is completely dream oriented and not grounded in reality.”
As children growing up, we learned to do this from fairytales and the example of adults in our lives. However, these experiences were there to teach us how to use our imagination and empower us to become the unlimited, deliberate creators we came here to be. It was never intended for us to give our power away to another human being that we had imagined to be everything we could never become like. By desperately trying to become like them or somehow fit into their life, we end up losing ourselves in the process. The real pain is that we desert our true selves and get lost in a romantic dream that isn’t grounded in reality.
The truth is, No one is here to rescue you from reality or save you from anything, including yourself. There isn’t anything you need to be rescued from. As you stay grounded and present in each moment, connected to your own Divine Guidance, you are perfectly safe. You will know everything you need to know to create your Heart’s Desires.
How do you reinvent the White Horse Syndrome? These six steps will help you to empower your life by staying grounded and connected to your own Dreams. You will then be able to get back on your own White Horse and tap into the unlimited possibilities you can become and create.
-
Embrace yourself as Divinely Perfect just as you are. There is nothing to change or improve. You are more than enough. Love all parts of yourself for who you are as a human being. The perceived good and bad are both parts of your path to wholeness.
-
Honor your feelings, and allow yourself to feel them. Denying your feelings will only take you further away from who you truly are. This can cause you to believe that you aren’t good enough, that there is something wrong with you, or that others have what you are missing.
-
Embrace others as being Divinely Perfect just as they are. Allow them to be human beings doing the best they can under their present circumstances, just like you are. This doesn’t mean you have to like or even approve of every part of their personality, or actions. Just know that who they truly are goes far deeper than they will ever show most people.
-
See others you admire as Mirrors reflecting all that you already are or have the capacity to become. You are not them, but you couldn’t see something you like or love about them if you didn’t already possess that same quality or have the capacity to become more like it. Use that reflection to encourage you to be your own unique version of what you see and appreciate in others.
-
Forgive and Let Go of anything anyone does that doesn’t turn out to be the way you thought it should be. Accept that none of us have the whole picture. Hold onto the vision that somehow everything happens for the highest good of all.
-
Put everyone back up on their own white horse, including yourself. See them as perfect, being Divinely guided to follow their own path and live their true purpose. We are all doing our best and deserve each other’s compassion, including our own.
When we follow these steps, we are choosing to see the Highest truth for all. We are doing our best to keep riding that White Horse of our own dreams every day.
