Live with fire

 

 

I work yesterday in a studio in midtown and every time I went out to do various and sundry things, i.e. go to the bathroom I past this sign.  At first the the big Life is a Team Sport caught my eye which I thought was fantastic.  But then I noticed the #Live With Fire. Now I know it is covered by computers ( I was unable to move then for the picture) but I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s akin to the thought that I regularly say, Play full out!  Though there is something about #LiveWithFire that has an air of hunger and of passion for me!  So I am asking myself how can I #LiveWithFire in ways that I’m not doing.  Where am I not showing up completely? What can you today to #LiveWithFire!  Have fun with it!!

I think it’s going to be my new favorite saying!  Thank you Location 5 studios!

 

Living with Fire!!

Breath…. April 15, 2013

slider5bThis is a short little post today due to the fact that my hand is still healing and after a day of typing it needs a little break but….

The last month or so has been wonderfully, insanely busy… with coaching, family, delicious boyfriend, back office to-do’s, finishing my meditation download and promoting my business with The Positivity Project.  And as the days move forward and I move forward the days are filled.  It seems that after I meditate in the morning I’m completely forgetting to be aware of my breath.  This is a crucial aspect in staying in the moment because it’s in the moment where we can be the most aware and of service.  How is your breathe today?

I had just sat down after completing a busy  business day and starting dinner when I gave a big exhale.  You know the kind of exhale where your whole body relaxes and gives into the soft relaxation?  It was rather delicious!  I usually have regular breath check-ins during the day but it didn’t seem to happen today….  How are you when you move through the day and have regular awareness of your breath?  I find it to allow emotions to move through me rather than get stuck.  I find it much easy to remain in the moment.  My pulse and heart rate stay down and I live in a state of gratitude.

 

So I guess I want to know what you to do be aware of your breath and how does it affect you?

Off to breathe!

 

Lots of Love-

What’s my opportunity here? March 20, 2013

sky 002 (2)I posted this blog post a few years ago but I thought it was very relevant for today.  Finding opportunities where one might see an obstacle takes work.  Like exercise staying positive is a daily choice….. So here’s the post!

In the last week or so the topic of seeing opportunities were there are obstacles has been a common thread in many of my discussions whether with clients, friends or even myself.  I have been dealing with some back problems…. knowing full well the connection to running a business and my lower back…. but as I lie here on my back I ask myself, What is my opportunity?  And it is so clear… Slow down and the number one thing… Be gentle.  Be kind. We all have obstacles that come up whether they are work related, relationship related or pretty much anything you can see but instead of getting stuck in the quagmire of the conflict ask yourself, What’s my opportunity?   We are always given the chance to learn and grow and the possibilities that come from the openness of a positive outcome far out reach the unhealthy mindset of getting stuck in the problem.

Case in point, I have what we think is a pinched nerve in my back… not a herniated disc but more than a pinched nerve.  (It turned out to be an extruded disc and i had surgery) That being said I’m on my back most of the day.  Now for a woman who is EXTREMELY active this could be not such a good thing… I chose to see my opportunity because we always get more of what we focus on. And I for one am not focusing on the obstacle!

So I ask you Where might you be seeing obstacles and can reframe them into Opportunities?

LOVE!

A Week Ago Today… March 13, 2013

HandA week ago today I had a torn tendon in my hand repaired.  With every thing that has happened in my life I am reminded regularly of allowing and patience.  The Universe asks me to walk the talk.  I think of myself as a patient person.  I’m often even told on a regular basis that I”m SO patient.  That said I’m regularly tested on this front.  Whether I plan a phone call to discuss an important issue and the person is out of town or I have ordered a time sensitive package and it is late or  traffic is crazy and I think I will be late (notice these are time related for me?).  It could be any or all of these scenarios.  I’m not even going to bring in the health issues that can occur.  I regularly write, coach or talk about allowing. Even saying this word gives me peace.

The Webster definition of Allow is:  1. admit (an event or activity) as legal or acceptable  2. give the necessary time or opportunity for.  “Give the necessary time or opportunity for”,  This is my favorite part of the definition.  When buttons are pushed as they can happen even to the best of us.  How do you return to the start of allowing?  Where you don’t struggle or fight with your given circumstances?  I am a Huge fan of breath… for more reasons than the obvious.  It helps us to return to our natural state of loving.  Loving of self and others.  It centers us.  The breath is a mini meditation. The ability to stay in this state is a bit like being a child.  Most children are very allowing because they have yet to learn their ability to control their surroundings.  They trust.  Ah trust…. So much of what gets in our way is our inability to trust.  If we stay in a state of allowing the trust comes more effortlessly.  Now I don’t mean allow others to do to you anything they choose but allow life to have its grace and kindness that we all seek.

What will you do today to allow (without getting hand surgery)?  To remain at peace with yourself?  How will you stay connected to your breath?

Lots of Love!

My Happiness List.. February 10, 2013

IMG_1272 So a week has passed while I’ve been keeping track of my happiness list…. I got to thinking about how I initially named these posts, “Things the make me happy”.  As I have regularly said “we chose what we think and then in turn it affects how we feel”  If that is the case then these things don’t make me happy but they add to the happiness I feel.  It supports the idea that, that which we focus on we have more of.   So chose those happy thoughts and happiness support!  There are so many things that add to our happiness it’s only out there to focus on.  So what happy thoughts/things do you what to find this week.  Let me know what adds to your  juju!  Here is my happiness support list this week!

  •    

 

 

  • It’s still light out at 5:30
  • Breakfast sausage
  • My puppy dog Eloise
    • Especially when she’s curled snoring
  • Gluten free tamari almonds
  • Honey
  • My neti pot
  • Waking up to a clean kitchen
  • Clean Bathroom
  • Massive snow storms where I don’t lose power!
  • Not having a migraine in 5 days!!
  • A count down to a vacation
  • Clients!

 

Have a spectacularly sparkly week!

Energetically,

This makes me happy! January 31, 2013

It was brought to my attention the other day that I say, “This makes me happy!” quite a bit and subsequently I’ve become aware of just how much I say it! So I Unknownthought that I would keep track of all the things that I say that make me happy . ‘Cuz boy am I one happy girl with all this joy!  Just yesterday I said these things make me happy:

  1. Yummy fresh ripe avocados
  2. Food that doesn’t have any gluten, dairy or soy
  3. Highland Cows (a.k.a. my little redheaded cows)
  4. Eating ice cream in the movie theater
  5. The smell of hand soap on my hands
  6. Finding a $20 little leather jacket at a junk shop

I can’t remember the rest but I know that there was more! And already this morning it was a clean kitchen to walk into to make my coffee.  You’ll find that a lot of “clean” options will be on my list.

You ask what ‘s the point of all this?  Well, good question!  As I regularly say, “That which you focus on you have more of.  So why not focus on the good, joyful, happy thoughts?!!”  We chose our thoughts so why not focus on the happy ones!  This will be a weekly post and I am charging you and myself to keep track of all the things that make you happy!

Energetically,

The last couple of weeks have been a phantasmagorical whirlwind for me!! I haven’t blogged much because I’ve been updating my site, finishing my meditation CD which entails being in the studio along with editing and creating my video series based on my seminar “Life is Now: Learning to live in the moment”.  The whole series will be posted on my site. The operative word is will… I have to figure out the html… Gotta love a challenge and a fantastic web designer!!

Phew that’s even a lot to write but it doesn’t stop there the next bit of excitement I will be able to announce so soon!  And the most exciting thing is Fantastic clients!!

New Years Intentions! December 31, 2012

Filed under: Uncategorized — sarahhamiltoncoaching @ 10:53 AM
Tags: , , , , , ,

We hear a lot about making New Years resolutions…. which, so many do not keep (as she smiles sheepishly).  What if we changed them to intentions? Like: My intention is to be more compassionate or My intention is to be more aware of what I put into my mouth…  So this got me thinking… What is the difference between a resolution and an intuition… Well the definitions are:

resolution: (noun) 1. a firm decision to do or not to do something 

intention is: (noun) 1. a thing intended; an aim or plan. (and intend: 1. have (a course of action) as one’s purpose or objective) 

OK… so the difference is that a resolution is a definitive decision and an intention is an objective for change…. To me the intention is a kinder plan for forward movement and the resolution doesn’t allow for life to happen. An intention is a plan to create change.  It sounds as if  I’m saying an intention lets you off the hook, but it doesn’t.  If you intend to do something you still can be held accountable by yourself, friends or a Life coach.  When resolutions are made and then dropped by February we feel a bit like we failed… So how can you create an intention that is kind and loving towards yourself and the world around you? Do you want to be more compassionate, loving, aware of your time, aware of what you put into your mouth?  What…

What is your intention going into the new year?  What new awareness will you bring into your daily life that you hadn’t done before?  What are you willing to do to keep your forward movement?

 

Happy Happy New Years!

Lot of Love!
