Did you choose a word for 2015?

Years back, I adopted the habit of choosing a word or a theme at the beginning of every year. It's not a fad hype. It is actually a powerful way of training your subconscious mind to notice and focus on what you need most at this point of your life. It heightens your awareness and re-enforces neural connections in the direction you want to head. 

My word in 2014 was "Courage". I needed loads of it to start my new life in a new country.

I remember first tapping into my 'courage' well back in 2006 when I decided to publish my first book 'Healing Body & Soul'. Most of the people around me weren't supportive- to say the least. These were caring and loving family members and friends. They were well intended. They wanted to protect me from the pain of 'rejection' and 'failure'! I have always been a left-brained, science-oriented mind... "you're not a writer", I've been told; "stick to science, this is what you're good at"...  I am so glad now I didn't  listen. I grew to learn that there is no such thing as failure. Every experience is a lesson meant to elevate our level of awareness, knowledge and understanding. It wasn't and easy smooth journey. I admit. But, it was well worth the ride. May be a m not a great writer, I reasoned, but I am a teacher and a good one indeed. So why not write as I talk, as I teach. And, thankfully, it worked. My books touched hearts and changed lives and I am so grateful.
Here, in Canada, I had to tap into this 'Courage ' well again. I had to take a leap of faith and build my career while establishing a stable and loving family environment for my husband and kids. Again, it wasn't easy... But it was rewarding on so many levels. My word, 'Courage', kept me going. I learned that courage is stepping out of your comfort zone. Courage is taking chances even if the little voice inside you is scaring the sh** out of you. Courage is doing your part and not fearing the results. It is assuming all the means while surrendering to the Divine Will. Courage is always remembering that there is no such thing as failure... they are all results!

So, may be you want to take some time this week and think of your word for 2015... I would love to know more about your word and your hopes and aspirations for this year on Healing Body & Soul Face Book page. And in my next blog, I will share with you my 2015 word!

Have a great week!
