It occurs to me that it might be a good idea to define what a JUICY LIFE might mean. Of course you define it for yourself... but for me it means living fully, being lined up with your truth -- and your true essence.... and even more so having an experience of fulfillment, joy, and total expression.
Often times we get so caught up in the day to day grind that we forget, quite literally, to LIVE they way we are hoping life will BE. We get caught up wondering "how can I create or have THAT experience? (you name the "that")
You dying of thirst for the JUICE of life -- not only do you want to drink it, you want to live it and be it.
But let me ask you... Have you grabbed the JUICE, popped open the top and taken a nice long drink lately? Have you dumped it over your head, danced in the puddle, and not worried about what others might think - sopping wet, as your makeup is running down your face, or your hair is out of place?
Ahhhhh. Yes, that's the kind of JUICY LIFE I am talking about.
Now, I don't want to make assumptions about you in any way, but I will say, generally speaking, that most of us see the JUICE of Life right in front of us. We sit and look at it. It looks fun, it looks refreshing, relaxing, and rejuvenating. It might even look like something you've never even tasted before - exciting, thrilling, new.
The point here is this. You look at it, and wonder how you'll ever get some.
Can you imagine looking at a bottle of water and saying , I'd like a drink of that" -- "but I don't know how to open the bottle" or "I don't know if I should", or "I don't know what people will think of me if I do... or "I'm just powerless, I can't have it".... or "No one is sharing with me!"
Right, you wouldn't do that. And you shouldn't do that with your life either. Now, with that said -- let's talk about 10 things you can do to LIVE JUICILY - and create the life experience that you want starting today.
Top Steps To LIVING JUICILY
1. Whoever said "Carpe Diem" (meaning seize the day!) knew what they were talking about. If you are going to live the juicy life - full of expression, truth, bliss, and creative manifestations that easily flow to your life - you've got to start seizing the day. Yes. Take advantage of the opportunities in front of you. Play with life. Open yourself up to spontaneity and seize the day, seize the moment.
2. Ask the question - What am I here for? You will undoubtedly get the answer within your heart. But ask anyway, every day. It will help you to stay focused on the bigger picture and on what really truly matters. There is nothing more juicy that being focused on what matters.
3. Make time if you haven't. As you are creating anything...even a juicy life...you will lean in the direction of it until it becomes your dominant experience. If you haven't taken time out to LIVE that way do it. What might it look like? Tea on the patio, or bungee jumping? You create your juice, and your bliss.
4. Say YES to life. Law of Attraction responds to your energy -- and only your vibration (which comes from your emotions and beliefs) Now, when you say YES to what you are wanting versus know to what you don't want -- you'll create the JUICE. In fact, you won't have to grab it... it will just flow to you!
5. Live in the present moment. I know, I know, you've heard it before. But remember all of your power is in the Now. You are at choice. You have free will. You can live in the NOW where the juicy life experience IS.... or in the past where you wished it was, or the future where you hope it will be. It here, it's NOW. Step in.
6. Courage. It's time to release what others think of you. It's time to take risks -- even little ones -- that you normally wouldn't take. It's time to look at fear and know it's as real as you make it. It's time to take a stand for you and your life, what you want it to look like, and courageously move in the direction of it. Now, I didn't say that meant bungee jumping if that doesn't resonate, but look at your life and say - how can I live with courage and thus be more ALIVE?
7. Live your truth. Do you know what your TRUTH is relative to any situation? Do you listen for it, honor it, speak it, and be it? One good way to zap the juice of life is to not be who it is you are. Just finding out? That's ok. It's a journey.
8. Love. Love like you've never been hurt right?! How about give yourself permission to begin to love yourself like you never have. To look deep within your spiritual self and trust the knowingness that you ARE love. Then...line up with the LOVE that is YOU. Profound? Yes. That's when the juice really flows...and when your desires seem to line up outside of your door. You may need to post a sign that says, "Beware - Random Outbursts of Bliss and Laughter Occur In This Zone..."
9. Be Light. We are on number 9. Have you lightened up yet? If not, do so. It's good for you, good for your soul. To live juicily, give yourself permission to be light about things...to say YES to all of life even when it rolls out the contrast, or the hard times. Be light.... sing in the shower, chew gum when you shouldn't, and laugh at yourself.
10. REVEL in it all... be delighted, bask in the perfection, and well.... how about you fill in one more.
