“Life’s a movie, let the camera roll
Fast life moving, ain’t no going slow
That’s right, baby, you already know
You already know, hope you’re ready
Ready, steady, steady, rocking”
You Already Know – Fergie

This month marks Mindvasana’s fifth anniversary and blog number sixty. Thank you to those who have been reading my monthly blogs, leaving comments and sharing it with others.

I am offering a special gift at the end of this blog to celebrate five years!

When I started to write these monthly blogs, I thought I was doing it to help people by sharing my life lessons so that I could remind my readers of things they already knew and thereby help them avoid or deal with painful life lessons.

I believe everything there is to know has been written in books, taught by wise ones and we already know all there is to know to live the life we want.

We may have forgotten some things or may not have given them much thought but we have heard it all before. Once we become aware, all we need to do is to let it unfold in our lives.

Many of us live our lives unaware and not knowing how strong we are and the Universe reminds us by teaching us, through some hard lessons in life, so that we can realize what we already know.

Life keeps knocking us down and giving us the same lessons over and over again until we learn what we need to learn so that we become aware of what was already inside of us.

Things that you never thought you were capable of overcoming, you overcame. The fears that you had to face and when you thought there was no hope, you got through them and became stronger.

I wish I had known or paid attention to many of the things in the past that I now realize were always there, if I had searched for them in the right places or listened to the messages that were always available.

I have also realized that you cannot force anyone to listen to what you know will help them, that they only begin to hear what they need to hear when they are ready.

The book that was lying on a bookshelf at home or the lyrics of a song that you hear on the radio or something you listen to regularly suddenly has a deeper meaning. As they say, the teacher appears when the student is ready.

When I started paying attention to signs and was ready to learn, teachers appeared. So maybe it was never about writing to heal millions of people, maybe it was about writing to heal myself.

Below are some tips I have shared before but reminders are always good, even if it is only for myself. You can do one or two or all of them if they resonate with you to see your life unfold and improve:

• Start your day with sitting still for 5-10 minutes and focusing on your breath or listen to guided meditations
• Write down in a notebook three things you are grateful for every day
• Move your body – dance, yoga, walk or do whatever you enjoy doing
• Write down your bucket list and scratch them off as you achieve them
• Set aside time to day dream, imagine the things you would do if you had all the money, time and resources in the world
• Start a scrapbook or create a vision board on Pinterest
• Every night as you are drifting off to sleep think of all the things that went well that day, the positive comments you received, something nice you said or did for someone. Go ahead tell yourself how awesome you are.
• In the shower, imagine the water washing away any fears, regrets, doubts
• Take a walk in nature
• Spend more time doing things you are passionate about
• Believe that the Universe always has your back
• Remind yourself that life is happening for you not to you
• Remember you can change your beliefs at any point in time and when you change your mind you change your life
• Whatever you focus on you attract
• Listen to music that makes you feel good
• Watch or listen to videos, podcasts that motivate you
• Keep learning and growing
• Look up the parable “Good thing, Bad thing, Who knows”

I do many on the above list every day. They are all taught in some form or another by many world-renowned coaches, authors and gurus and you already know them.
