4 Signs to Know It’s Time to Take a Break

Here’s a quick tip for tapping into nature’s wisdom to increase your intuition.
Give yourself a few minutes outside, or if you can’t get outside, sit by a window where you can gaze outward. Allow your breath to deepen and your body to settle back into itself. Stand or sit with your feet on the ground and imagine you have roots growing from the bottoms of your feet deep into the earth below you. Feel the cool energy of the soil, feel your roots descending downwards and grounding your entire body.
Allow your body to come back to center, bringing all the various pieces of yourself back home to rest for a moment. Breathe. Give yourself the gift of three deep breaths to fully center your attention back home in yourself.
Notice, notice the nature around you. Use all of your senses to experience nature around you. Feel the temperature of the air surrounding you. Hear the noises that fill your ears. See the textures, colors, shapes, and forms around you. Allow your senses to heighten and for this to be your focus now.
As you are noticing, allow the first three to five adjectives that come to mind to describe what you are sensing. Then, using each adjective, put the phrase I AM in front of each, and feel into the intuitive wisdom that comes forward. Don’t censor your adjectives, there is no right or wrong, good or bad. Allow all that come to you to offer you wisdom.
I did this exercise the other night, and obscure, silent, and cool were the adjectives that flowed to me.
I am obscure. I am silent. I am cool.
And this morning, I sat on the terrace, surrounded by rising daylight and the sounds of parrots. The adjectives that came to me were active, brilliant, awakening. I am active. I am brilliant. I am awakening.
Have fun with this exercise and allow the clues from nature to inform your intuitive wisdom.

In today’s mindful moment, I ask you to consider the analogy of the bird, the nest, and the vast sky above.
In what ways do you stay comfortable in your nest? Your nest is cozy, comfortable and predictable. Your nest keeps you safe and secure. Your nest is a good thing, most of the time.
But what I’m really interested in is how you take flight. Like the fledgling bird, jumping out of the nest to spread her wings, how do you leave the safety of your nest for the greater freedom of flying high.
I use this analogy often, for it’s a metaphor for my life. As I continue to jump out of my comfortable nest, the world opens before me. Perhaps I learned this skill out of necessity, but I believe it’s one of my superpowers, and is something that I teach my clients to have the confidence to experience.
Unless you can jump out of the safety of the nest, you won’t be able to experience all that this marvelous world has to offer. I’m confident that if you jump, your wings will open and you will soar.
Now, after reading this, I invite you to do one thing this week that pushes you beyond your comfort zone! Spread your wings and fly!
Thanks for reading this mindful moment. I hope you got something of value from it. I always welcome your thoughts or comments, so don’t hold back.
Infinite Love, Lyn
It’s becoming almost cliché, however I’d like to suggest that you take a moment right now to remember that you are enough. It’s easy to hear these words and dismiss them as fluff, but the truth is that you are enough.
Can you give yourself permission today to accept yourself unconditionally? If you are willing to play with me on this, say the words below and allow them wash over you, allow them to sink into your heart, and to integrate into your day today.
Have fun with this, and know deeply and truly that they are true.
I am worthy,
I am safe,
I am unlimited potential,
I am the universe,
I am always guided,
I am protected by light and love,
I am good enough,
I am compassion,
I am peace,
I am accepting of myself,
I am honesty,
I am gratitude,
I am freedom,
I am part of something much bigger than just myself,
I am energy,
I am a master of energy,
I am important,
I am unique,
I am free to be me.
I am here to shine my light,
I am intuitive,
I am beautiful,
I am harmonious,
I am joy,
I am a loving soul.
Choose now to connect with your mission, your birthright, to live your truth. Follow your heart. Your journey is unique to you, and is designed just for you. Breathe this in, allow your true self to shine through.
And if you will, put both of your hands on your heart, and tell yourself.
I am valuable,
I deserve love, and deserve to be loved,
I am worthy,
I am unlimited potential,
I am always guided and protected,
I am here to learn,
I am remembering who I really am,
I am good enough no matter what,
I approve of myself,
I love and accept myself,
I am here to be me,
I follow my heart.
I choose now to reconnect to my soul,
It is safe to speak my truth,
It is my mission to speak my truth,
It is safe to take care of myself.
I follow my intuition,
I love myself, always,
I thank myself.
I now integrate these words into my being, allowing them to compound within me.
I am doing good!
I am doing good!
Now, after reading this, (maybe even more than once) I invite you to go out there and embrace this day for the miracle that it is!
Thanks for reading this mindful moment. I hope you got something of value from it. I always welcome your thoughts or comments, so don’t hold back.
