I have spent the last couple of weeks in a permanent state of immense gratitude. Honestly, barely a moment has gone by that I haven’t had a quiet chat with the Universe to declare just how blessed I feel to be living this life that I have chosen. It really wasn’t that long ago that I lived a rather different existence; in survival mode. Part of the secret to escaping my ‘victim’ mindset and creating a life that I love stemmed from discovering and re-defining my Values – something we delve into on the ‘Be Daring & Mighty’ programme. Taking my values a step further, I wrote my ‘Life Rules’. Rules that I live by. Not rules & expectations that others have created. My own special set.

I am always very transparent & honest when I write these blogs – today is no different. With total openness & vulnerability I will share with you my Life Rules. I hope they inspire you to create your own very special set. It’s a wonderful way to get total clarity on the life you intend to have (ooh, there’s that magical word again – intention!).

Rules That I Live By:

1. I love myself, unconditionally.
2. I honour my Spirit & nurture myself with activities that feed my soul (candles, cozy blankets, good food, a clean & organised home, walking in nature & on the beach, meditating, baths, the spa, being near water/ocean, my garden, horse-riding, yoga, early nights, holidays, massage, time out, colour, art, beauty, vibrancy, movies, music)
3. My son has the best of me. Always.
4. Before I make any decision I question if it is loving towards my son & I.
5. I have a voice. I am brave and can express myself clearly.
6. I shine. I am proud to express who I am. I surround myself with colour, vibrancy, music, art & inspiration.
7. I am a student of life. Learning something new everyday means I am growing & being inspired. If I am growing, I am living.
8. My work is my joy & inspiration. I am not designed to work hard. I am designed to work with passion & balance. If it feels hard, I will stop & re-assess. My work is effortless & joyful.
9. My purpose is to inspire others – & myself in the process – so I practice what I preach. That raises my vibration and the vibration of others around me.
10. Time out creates time.
11. I know that the exchange of money is an exchange of energy. I am remunerated according to the value I give others. And I give great value! I love to give. I equally love to receive.
12. I expect financial abundance because I know there is a limitless supply for all. Financial freedom allows me to support my highest values – serving myself, my son, my clients, my friends & family.
13. I love to travel so I plan at least 4 holidays a year which involve getting on a plane! One of those is child-free. An injection of new cultures, languages & food are soul nourishing.
14. I enjoy 1 planning day every month. This is a meeting with me and I plan holidays, courses, self nurturing activities, fun things to do with my son, fun stuff to do on my own, business growth, wealth creation, time with friends & family & general Daring & Mightiness!
15. I remember birthdays! I send cards to my friends and family.
16. I plan get togethers with friends & family. I am even brave enough to cook for them! I love to entertain and I love to be surrounded by the energy of high vibrational people.
17. I plan time away with my gal pals! An injection of girl power at least twice a year is non negotiable.
18. I am creating a life I can share with others.
19. I am creating a life that includes my intimate life partner. Together we are a powerful force.
20. I make me happy. Joy starts in my heart.
21. I choose my reality from a selection of limitless possibility.
22. I listen to inspired thought. I take hints from the Universe. I take action. I am a doer!
23. I start my day with an intention.
24. I choose every day to accept where I am. To feel my emotions, knowing that passing through them means getting to the other side. The other side is an evolved, fully present, higher vibrational me!
25. I choose every day to create a life I love. I know my thoughts today are my experience tomorrow.
26. I keep a gratitude and success journal!
27. I ‘vision’ the life I am manifesting, morning & night.
