You can simplify the process of intentional living by reminding yourself that there are two ways in which to experience your life. You can either experience a life fueled and driven by force and pressure, or you can experience a life that is mobilized by alignment and flow. Forced action and inspired action both involve taking action, but they have completely different energies. Forced action requires you to move through life by applying a dense current of energy to try and move things into being how you want them to be. 

All of the states you experience psychologically and emotionally are anchored and reflected in your physical body. You have a physiology of expansion, and you have a physiology of limitation. Knowing what your specific physiology to the states of limitations you experience is a vital part of self-awareness and self-evolution. When you experience any state, a question to ask yourself is: how am I creating and holding this state in my body, in my muscles, in my posture?

​There are a number of factors that can momentarily interrupt your creative flow. One of your tasks as a deliberate creator is to prepare tools and strategies that allow you to get back on the track of your flow, strategies that allow you to resume, reconnect, and re-establish connection and alignment to your expanded self.

When you are in your balanced flow of energy and power, you know you matter fully and completely just as you are. You unquestioningly and firmly know that your needs, wants, and desires all matter as much as anyone else’s – no excuses, no justifications, no delays, no qualifications, no explanations – you matter in every way just for existing and being this unique being that you are.  When you are in your power, there is no amount of belittlement or dismissal from others that will sway or deter you from knowing the magnificence of your being. When you are in your power, you wholeheartedly know that your value, your worth, your importance is equal to everyone else’s on this planet.

​One advice you have or will likely come across as you traverse the energetic territories of consciousness is to protect yourself from negative influences, from the negative intent and energies of forces outside of you, be they from others or from some unknown or unseen source. Is there such a thing as negative influence? Are negative influences real?
