Assessing the current reality and adjusting expectations accordingly allowing for success and maintenance of core goal/non-negotiable while managing the mood, resources, and capacity of the moment.

Investigating the source of our energy, opportunities to intervene and the power of accepting ownership for those situations we entered with varied energy and are continuing to unfold and examine for the health our lives.

Decisions, decisions - many options and details to consider - exploring how to navigate the space you are in, those available for change, and the methods to uncover what will actually invite in satisfaction and contentment with opportunity to reclaim power, control and autonomy.

Finding certainty, surety, KNOWING within - connecting through self love and trust to internal wisdom and recognizing the oneness with the universe. Working through the challenge of external obstacles, opinions, opposition to stay in connection and out of separation with self and beyond.

Reviewing the opportunities of For the Health of All Things - the interpretation, expansiveness, specificity, and many ways to illustrate, navigate and illuminate the path of health.

Season 6 Episode 21 - Rest by This Osteopathic Life

Exploration of the impact of comparison and opportunity to practice knowing from the heart and soul from the present moment rather than from the evaluation of many external, prior experiences, with respect for each version of the practice of discernment, emphasizing the capacity and wisdom within.

Act of self love, compassion and trust - protect your peace - internal, through shift in perspective and investigation of resonance; external, through altered engagement with environment, relationships, development and maintenance of boundaries, and ultimately willingness to engage in constructive conversation and conflict that allows for broadened perspectives. Welcome in peace as part of the emotional experience, one moment at a time.

Investigating the obstructions to and opportunities for peace - internal, external, with changes in environment, relationships, boundaries, alongside shifts in perspective and presence in the moment.

Crossing the river of worthiness from conditional to unconditional love, tuning into the voice of internal approval, independent of achievement. Learning to receive rather than rely on external accolades.

The importance of wanting, congruent with self and separate from the availability of potential outcomes. We can find peace with discrepancies of expectation and reality, but there is an eternal angst present when we do not allow ourselves to fully want what is in our hearts. Allowing yourself to want it fully releases the need to have it - consider how you are creating more stress in your experience and step into the release.

Making peace with the space between, dancing in the pause, welcoming all parts to be present in the moment and stepping from one now to the next - exploring lessons of life and endless opportunity in this episode of TOL - For the Health of All Things!
