Setting Intentions

Books

(A magyar fordítás lent található.)

I am extremely grateful to have an amazingly powerful connection with both my girls. We are best friends and hold honest, yet kind mirrors toward one other.

This weekend, during our weekly family conference call, they gently pointed out to me that I do not read as many books as I used to. I promptly responded that I lack the time to do so and that I listen to audio books as I’m traveling from one client to another. My younger daughter immediately responded by saying ‘Mama you must set an intention toward reading more every evening.’ I agreed and continued working with clients after the family call.

As I was practicing yoga and meditation this morning, her words struck a chord within me. I immediately came up with an action plan to achieve the goal of reading more and manifesting a new reality for myself.

Who are you going to have as your mirrors within your network? Who are you going to be accountable to?

How will you bring rigor into your routine to manifest your intentions? These are the questions that came up for me.

I hope I have struck a chord within some of you.

Namaste,
Prerna


 

A szándék meghatározása

Nagyon hálás vagyok, mert lenyűgöző kapcsolatom van mindkét lányommal. Legjobb barátok vagyunk, őszintén kommunikálunk és tükröt tartunk egymásnak.

Ezen a hétvégén, a családi konferencia hívásunk alatt, finoman emlékeztettek rá, hogy nem olvasok annyit, mint korábban. A válaszom az volt, hogy nincs már annyi időm, mint korábban volt, ezért hangoskönyveket hallgatok, amíg megyek egyik ügyféltől a másikig. A fiatalabb lányom azonnal válaszolt, és azt mondta, hogy meg kell fogalmaznod a szándékot, hogy többet olvasol esténként. Egyetértettem, majd dolgoztam egy ügyféllel a beszélgetésünk után.

Miközben ma reggel jógáztam és meditáltam szöget ütöttek a fejemben a szavai. Azonnal előálltam egy akciótervvel, amiben meghatároztam, hogy hogyan fogok többet olvasni és egy új valóságot teremteni magamnak.

Ki fog neked tükröd tartani a környezetedben? Kinek fogsz elszámolni? Hogyan fogsz a rutinodon változtatni, hogy megteremtsd a szándékod? Ezek a kérdések jutottak eszembe.

Remélem ez szöget üt a fejetekbe.

Namaste,

AHA Moment

coffee 1

I was comfortably settled into a coaching conversation at one of my favorite locations – the coffee shop at Margaret Island. I always find it so tranquil and peaceful there and an ideal location to coach.

Towards the end of my coaching conversation, I noticed one of the waitresses approaching our table, smiling ear to ear. We had a sweet conversation and since she hadn’t seen me since the beginning of the year, she wished me a happy new year even though it was already the middle of February.

It struck me almost immediately that I find so much joy and gratitude in these precious moments. The social connections that I have created in this magical city help me survive and thrive through the difficult moments when I miss my girls who both live so far away from me.

Life brings its challenges but I choose to consciously focus on the select moments that keep me going.

What will you consciously choose and create this week?

Namaste,

Noticing My Triggering Patterns

IMG-20190205-WA0000_2

I had a call this week where I was being challenged and grilled even though the intention of the person was very kind. I noticed a contraction in my stomach, my default setting of not being good enough and unworthy was secretly activated. I noticed becoming border line defensive, a bit annoyed. I thought I had practiced enough over the past 7 years ever since this pattern had been uncovered when I went to coaching school. Obviously not! We are given lessons from the Universe to develop and grow.

I observed myself from the outside, took a few conscious breaths and started to ‘be’ from a space of dignity and self worth.

The first step was to notice, the second was to ask myself the possibilities that I might be sabotaging as a result of this pattern within me. The conversation ended magically, I thanked the friend that I was talking to for the kind intention and the learnings of the conversation.

What pattern dominates your way of Being? What will your alarm bell be this week?

Love Conquers

IMG-20190206-WA0001I just finished speaking to my Hungarian teacher and I asked her for feedback on my progress. The feedback I received was that I’m much more confident to speak with an intention towards mastery than ever before. I reflected back that the reason I am confident is because of her patience and kindness without judgment.

I get nervous when I am feeling judged and start making mistakes.

She reiterated back how much she adores me which is what motivates her and is a big driver during our calls.

It’s amazing how love is the one singular force that drives and motivates us.

What will you do to consciously bring the love, care and kindness towards your fellow humans this weekend?

Namaste,

Weekend Post

My week began with a part of my tooth breaking off. It was extremely uncomfortable and my tongue was in danger of being cut or bitten by the sharpness of the broken tooth. I was required to work and speak during the day and noticed huge discomfort. I was extremely blessed to receive an emergency appointment with my dear dentist who was working that afternoon. I was thankful to not have to reschedule any work-related appointments.

As the day passed in discomfort, I recognized yet again how blessed we are with the human body. Every small part works seamlessly and in harmony. When sickness hits us, something begins to malfunction.

My takeaway is as follows: As humans, we try to control and micromanage every aspect of our lives. In turn, we end up jeopardizing our well-being. The power that keeps the world going is perfectly capable of taking care of us.

Why do we interfere? What will your small practice be to recognize when you are going against nature and doing yourself more harm than good?

Namaste,

LOVE

As I sit in prayer, contemplation this morning, the one word that comes to me is LOVE.

It is indeed a powerful emotion, once learnt it can work wonders. The more you give of it, the better you feel.

How are you going to love this week? Will you marinate love with expectations? Or will you love because it makes you feel good?

My experience has been powerful over the holidays when I simply loved despite my mind. Are you willing to conquer your mind by giving yourself just the right amount of care? Learning to stay away from feelings of resentment. It might be quite magical.

Namaste,
Prerna


SZERETETT

Ahogy a reggeli imámban, elmélkedèsemben ülök, a SZERETET szó jön hozzám.

Egy erőteljes érzelem, ami csodákat képes művelni. Minél többet adsz belőle, annál jobban érzed magad.

Hogyan fogsz szeretni ezen a héten? Élvárásokkal fogod övezni a szeretetet? Vagy azért fogsz szeretni, mert jobban érzed magad tőle?

Az én tapasztalatom nagyon erőteljes volt az ünnepek alatt, szimplán szerettem annak ellenére, amit az elme mondott. Meghódítod az elméd azzal, hogy megfelelő mennyiségű törődést adsz magadnak? Megtanulni, hogyan kerüljük el a neheztelés érzését… varázslatos tud lenni.

Namaste,

Staying Present

As I’m observing clients, friends at holiday events and end of year sessions I am noticing many of them are already in the future. Some are nervous about the holidays, some feel overwhelmed and some are busy finishing off their last minute duties hurriedly. They speak fast, they speak loud, they are simply rushing around.

I have been noticing clutter and noise as well but my one practice this week has been to stay truly connected with the present moment no matter what it is bringing forth. It has served me well.

I urge you to connect with the present moment and let that stick to your Being like sticky tape. It will soon become a habit. Consciously feel the taste of food and drink during the holidays and enjoy every bite with your loved ones.

Namaste and happy holidays! Talk to you in 2019. I take a short break to enjoy and travel with my girls.

Find stillness in your busyness

As I’m winding down after a busy yet productive week, the mantra that I’ve found myself repeating a lot is to find the stillness in the busyness. How can we manage these two opposites? This is the paradox of life. Once we learn this, we are playing on the field of life. Magic reveals itself every minute and physical fatigue seems distant.

How will you find stillness in your busyness a week before the holidays? What will you practice? My practice has been to be present, to breathe consciously more, to stay away from too much screen time.

Happy holiday season

Találd meg a nyugalmat a pörgésben.

Kezdek lazítani egy pörgős, de produktív hét után. A mantra, amit sokat mondogattam magamnak ez volt: Találd meg a nyugalmas a pörgésben. Hogyan tudjuk kezelni ezt a két ellentétet? Ez az élet paradoxa. Amikor megtanuljuk, akkor játszunk az élet mezején.  A csoda minden percben felfedi saját magát, és a testi fáradtság távolinak tűnik.

Hogyan fogsz nyugalmat találni a pörgésben egy héttel az ünnepek előtt? Mi lesz a gyakorlatod? Az én gyakorlatom az volt, hogy a pillanatban voltam, többet lélegeztem tudatosan és elkerültem a sok képernyő előtt töltött időt.

Boldog Ünnepeket!

Weekend Post

The question many of us often ask ourselves.

Am I good enough, clever enough, capable enough, pretty enough, thin enough? This question helps us stay focused towards becoming a better version of ourselves.

The quality that differentiates the doer from the over thinker is that he acknowledges this thought/fear and is constantly doing his best.

The following quote comes to my mind this Saturday morning.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs; who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

– Theodore Roosevelt

What will you do from now on to first acknowledge, then silence this fearful thought and move onward, forward and upward?

 

Ferocious Fearlessness

(A magyar fordítás lent található.)

This week’s conversations with clients have revolved around fear. My question to them has been:

What does ferocious fearlessness mean to you?

My experience with working through fear has been total and complete surrender with tremendous faith totally immersed in the present moment. It has worked magically. I am extremely grateful.

I invite you to bring some aspect of this way of Being in your individual journeys, my treasures.

Experience the magic and joy of Being.

Namaste

Ezen a héten a félelem körül forogtak a beszélgetések az ügyfeleimmel.  Ez volt a kérdésem hozzájuk:

Mit jelent számodra a vad bátorság?

Az én tapasztalatom a félelem legyőzésével egy totális, teljes megadás volt, óriási hittel és teljes elmerüléssel a jelent pillanatban. Varázslatosan működött. Elképesztően hálás vagyok.

Arra invitállak, hogy építsd be az utadba, amivel rezonálsz ebből a létezésből.

Tapasztald meg a varázslatot és a létezés örömét.

Namaste
