Many wise elders suggest that the source of grace already dwells within our own consciousness. In other words, we needn’t to go out and search for it. What is merely required is the ability to change our view.
For today’s mindful moment, as an exercise to help shift negative energy into a more positive one, let’s focus our thoughts on what we are thankful for. This exercise can be used to help shift our awareness in how we view a negative situation, or approach others whose actions are the result of negative input. With this different perspective and positive input, we can rediscover the grace that already resides within and use that to help us make more compassionate choices in our lives.
Well, that’s it for this week. Until next time … keep working on ways to effect positive changes in your life.

Many great philosophers propose that human beings become what they believe. In other words, a person’s beliefs helps shape their identities as well as what they feel to be true about themselves. In many cases, however, people aren’t sure what their beliefs are, because many are hidden and unconscious; or they change as a result of their life experiences.
As a medical practioner, Dr. Chopra (2013) suggests that even though beliefs people hold about themselves may be either mild mannered or extremely passionate, those beliefs still contribute to who we they are and the individual they evolve into. He further states that people who become more self-aware, are naturally more mindful individuals. As a result, their choices and actions are made with a greater clarity because they comprehend how their beliefs helped them to evolve and form their identities (Chopra, 2013). To sum up, in order to truly understand ourselves, we should examine our beliefs more closely throught the lens of self-awareness.
Well friends, that’s a wrap for this week. I hope you have been enjoying our Summer Break Mindful Moments series. Until next time … focus on developing your self-awareness skills and see if it helps enhance your leadership abilities!

Beliefs are Dynamic and Alive!
At the Chopra Meditation Center, patrons are asked to ponder the following concept: “every person’s perceptions and beliefs are always in motion, constantly influencing their thoughts, feelings, and behavior.” In addition, the counselors reveal that as individuals, our unconscious beliefs always have an effect on us as well. However, in order to use the power of belief to our greatest benefit, they disclose that we must first become self-aware. By doing so, we are better able to align our beliefs with our deepest spiritual aspirations. Then, using techniques like self-reflection, prayer and meditation, we can begin to see our beliefs manifest as greater love, purpose, and we will also start to experience a true sense of meaning in our lives (Chopra, 2013).
For today’s mindful moment exercise, take a moment to recall a scenario where the thoughts and beliefs of others influenced your perceptions. Next, envision a new scenario, one that is a reflection of your highest potential in that circumstance. Then, consider the following questions, “What choices have I been making in this situation? What new actions can I take from this moment forward that will help me achieve my new goal?”
That’s it for today’s summer break mindful moment exercise. Until next time … keep working on your leadership skills!
