What to do when you wake up feeling off, bad, yuchy and not in a good way?

The first thing to ask is "Do I really want to do anything?"  And the reason for that is, maybe you don't, maybe you just want to stay exactly where you are, doing exactly what you've been doing and staying in that vibration for a longer time.  

Sometimes, that's exactly ok.  So long as you recognize what it's doing for you.

Other times though, you don't like the feeling and don't want to stay in it.  Now what?

Here are three quick Inspiring Energy vibration shifters:

1. Notice your face.  You're undoubtedly not smiling.  Smile.  Set a timer to buzz every 10 minutes and smile again.  Notice your face and the difference in how you feel.

2. Put on some dance music.  Dance.  For at least 2 minutes.  You may actually sweat, and for sure you'll be smiling and feeling better when you're done.

3. Identify one nagging project that you have been avoiding - like dusting the mirror or plate that holds your earrings, or quickly cleansing the bathroom sink, or folding the messy pile of  "folded" shirts in your closet.  5 minutes of a cleaning or organizing activity will change your vibration quickly.  (PS, be sure it's a project that doesn't take more than 10 minutes.)

Try it, you'll be doing a good thing for yourself (and the rest of the world).

What's a "Practice" anyway?

The term "practice" has many definitions and emotions that surround it. 

Originally when I started hearing about Practice, the following childhood phrases would come to mind:
  • Practice makes perfect...
  • You HAVE to practice your flute/trumpet/language/tennis now...
  • I can't play with you...I have to go practice my....
In the above examples, practicing is a hassle, a burden and in the way.

As an adult I've come to understand and appreciate the Practice concept. 

Practice does not have to lead to perfection.  Practice is something that I am able to engage in to explore something.  I practice by choice, because it serves me, not because I've been told I have to do it.

What are the areas where you are engaged in a practice?  Raising your children, studying a new subject, changing your eating habits?  These are all opportunities to practice both for improvement and enjoyment.

Qigong is a series of gentle movements, self massage, breath work and visualization.  Qigong is done as a practice.  Every time we do it, we are engaging in learning more, about our body, our health, our mind and our connection to the environment.

When we engage in a qigong practice we build our ability to respond in healthier ways to stress which can lead to dis-ease and dis-comfort.  We strengthen our bodies internally and externally.  We learn with practice to calm our mind and to improve our body's own innate healing abilities.

And the way to do this is simple, it's just practice. 

One exercise - 5 minutes a day - to begin making a difference.  When you do it with focus and intention, you'll be amazed at what this practice has in store for you.

What one exercise can you do today to begin your regular practice to reap those benefits and feel good?!
