The mere mention of the word “faith” conjures up religious connotations for almost all of us – for better or worse. So often, faith is a reference to a belief in things not seen, but it really is so much more than that. Each of us has faith in many things in the material world. Simple things, like the sun coming up in the morning. But how conscious are we of the faith that we place in ourselves and our place in the cosmos and our own abilities? I venture to say, “Not very.” Those are things we take for granted or have no real consciousness of at all.
The truth is that faith in who we are and who we came into this life to be is the key component in creating the life you desire. And we can start at the basest level – ourselves. Self-care is the surest way I know to ensure our ability to have faith in our own magnificence. It is in expending the time and effort to create the highest vision of me that I can present to the world, every day, that I develop a sense of faith in myself and my capacity to be, do and have anything and everything I desire.
Nourish, mindset, fitness and renewal are four foundational concepts on which to build a strong, confident belief in my personal creative power. Nourish you body and mind with the proper mix of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and nutrients. I start every day with an amazing shake that sets my body and brain chemistry on a positive path by flooding my whole system with endorphins. Mindset is all about whatever daily practices, like meditation, help you feel you are in communion with your Source – whatever you choose to call that. Fitness is taking the time to do conscious movement or exercise to enhance respiration, circulation and your overall physical vibration. Renewal, in its simplest form, is just getting a good night’s sleep.
Self-care is part of my daily practice that contributes to bringing the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical components of every aspect of our lives into balance. It is from that feeling of balance that I derive the confidence to have faith in me. And faith in me is the activating force that my “human” requires in order to align with that over-arching creative intelligence of the Universe that is my Source and the source of my ability to manifest all that I require and desire.
Since I am clear that we all are the creative intelligence in form, I have complete faith that each of us can marshal that intelligence into whatever form it is that our imagination can picture.
Through self-care I create an atmosphere of alignment and collaboration with the informed energy that is all things and all beings. By demonstrating the results of this atmosphere in the form of what I manifest as my life, I build a faith in the process. Each new manifestation adds a layer of confidence in that faith. Ultimately, the faith becomes all that is necessary to bring all the pieces into their proper place and the life I desire becomes the reality of my existence. It never really needs to be more complicated than that.
