Things We Don't Want to Do

by Madisyn Taylor

Doing things we don't want to do, or that scare us, creates flow in our lives and allows us to grow.

Most of us have had the experience of tackling some dreaded task only to come out the other side feeling invigorated, filled with a new sense of confidence and strength. The funny thing is, most of the time when we do them, we come out on the other side changed and often wondering what we were so worried about or why it took us so long. We may even begin to look for other tasks we've been avoiding so that we can feel that same heady mix of excitement and completion.

Whether we avoid something because it scares us or bores us, or because we think it will force a change we're not ready for, putting it off only creates obstacles for us. On the other hand, facing the task at hand, no matter how onerous, creates flow in our lives and allows us to grow. The relief is palpable when we stand on the other side knowing that we did something even though it was hard or we didn't want to do it. On the other hand, when we cling to our comfort zone, never addressing the things we don't want to face, we cut ourselves off from flow and growth.

We all have at least one thing in our life that never seems to get done. Bringing that task to the top of the list and promising ourselves that we will do it as soon as possible is an act that could liberate a tremendous amount of energy in our lives. Whatever it is, we can allow ourselves to be fueled by the promise of the feelings of exhilaration and confidence that will be the natural result of doing it.

Cancer Horoscope: Heart-Centered Hospitality

Heart-Centered Hospitality

March 29, 2017

The camaraderie of your friendships could make you open up to others with welcoming and friendly arms today, and doing something kind for the people you care about might be a way for you to show the extent of your care for them. While it may be easy to offer your gifts or talents to your friends, perhaps you can think about presenting something even dearer--your heart. By opening your heart to your friends, the hospitality you show them will mean so much more. As you do something for another today, you could imagine that your actions are coming directly from your heart center. If you are cooking for someone else, for example, you can picture that your hands are directly connected to your heart and that everything you make is done with the intention of unconditional love. Such love, you may find, could deepen and strengthen the bonds that connect you.

True generosity emanates from within our hearts. The desire to show just how much we care for other people is strong, and while our feelings may be deep, our actions don\'t always demonstrate the depth of our care. Letting our hearts speak for us, however, makes everything we do, say, and think genuine, allowing our love to convey the true strength behind our deeds. By cultivating a sense of warmth that is fueled by the love from within your heart today, you will demonstrate to your loved ones just how much they mean to you.

Doing for Others

Doing for Others

by Madisyn Taylor

In doing service for others we often find answers to our own questions and solutions to our own problems.

When we feel bad, often our first instinct is to isolate ourselves and focus on what's upsetting us. Sometimes we really do need some downtime, but many times the best way to get out of the blues quickly is to turn our attention to other people. In being of service to others, paradoxically, we often find answers to our own questions and solutions to our own problems. We also end up feeling more connected to the people around us, as well as empowered by the experience of helping someone.

When we reach out to people we can help, we confirm that we are not alone in our own need for support and inspiration, and we also remind ourselves that we are powerful and capable in certain ways. Even as our own problems or moods get the better of us sometimes, there is always someone else who can use our particular gifts and energy to help them out. They, in turn, remind us that we are not the only people in the world with difficulties or issues. We all struggle with the problems of life, and we all feel overwhelmed from time to time, but we can almost always find solace in service.

In the most ideal situation, the person we are helping sheds light on our own dilemma, sometimes with a direct piece of advice, and sometimes without saying anything at all. Sometimes just the act of getting our minds out of the obsessive mode of trying to figure out what to do about our own life does the trick. Many great inventors and artists have found that the inspiration they need to get to the next level in their work comes not when they're working but when they're walking around the block or doing dishes. We do ourselves and everyone else a great service when we take a break from our sorrows and extend ourselves to someone in need.

Cancer Horoscope: Value Your Worth

Value Your Worth

March 28, 2017

The respect and acceptance that you might be receiving from your peers may make you feel validated today. Being acknowledged for what you do can be a wonderful thing, for it can let you know how other people view your accomplishments. Even so, perhaps this would be a good time for you to accept the accolades from others, but with a humble and pure heart today. When others compliment you or give you praise, for example, saying a simple "Thank you" and imagining that their kind words are flowing through you, touching your soul but that they are not responsible for your sense of self can help you to realize that whatever you achieve is something that is ephemeral. This can let you accept a flattering comment gracefully, and it can also make it easier for you to receive others' approval without needing it to realize your own worth.

Modesty allows us to understanding the fleeting nature of praise. When others find our work commendable it can be something that we use to work toward, that is, the joy we feel is a motivator for us instead of satisfaction of the work itself. Letting go of our need to receive praise, however, lets us work with a much purer intention – for the joy our efforts bring and the fulfillment we get from doing what we love. Receiving compliments humbly today will enable you to value and feel content with your own accomplishments.
