KRISTINA'S WEEKLY EMAIL OF THOUGHT-PROVOKING ESSAYS & VIDEOS TO KEEP YOU CONNECTED TO YOURSELF ON THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE
|
Greetings!
TGIF and Happy MAY?! Which is barely comprehensible...the time seems to go slowly AND fly by as we find ourselves in the midst of this strange and extraordinary moment on our planet.
How are you doing? What is transforming in your life?
What you have learned about yourself so far these past two months?
For the majority of folks, many of the usual distractions and obligations are no longer there, forcing you to re-evaluate many aspects of your life - like
what and who do you
really
love? What is worth your attention and effort?
It all comes down to listening to your heart, hence this week's PGG.
And as a reminder, I've been posting messages regularly on my
Instagram/IGTV
and
YouTube channel,
so if you need a little digital human interaction, please be sure to follow or subscribe so you know when they're posted (fyi
this is the dedicated YouTube playlist
and here's
Part One
and
Part Two
of my
IG Live interview
about resetting your mind during this time. Let me know what you think, and/or what you'd like to see me talk about - I'm here to help!
As always, please feel free to
contact me
with any comments about anything I'm doing.
Big hug <3 Kristina

Truth No. 2
Originally published February 7, 2012
I try not to think as much as possible. This serves me well for many reasons. First of all, I am somewhat dyslexic, so
the more I stay out of my head, the clearer things are for me
. And forget about speaking; whenever I do my seminars what I say has to come from my heart and gut, otherwise I would get super-confused and choke from stage fright and the fear of sounding stupid. I have learned to operate this way more and more;
it reduces stress by keeping me connected to myself and in the flow of life, in harmony with who I am and what I need or want at any given moment.
It is the best motivational, decision-making and communications tool I possess, because I have harnessed and developed it as such.
In the movie Jerry Maguire,
Tom Cruise confronts Cuba Gooding, Jr
.
a
bout why he has not yet been offered a $10 million dollar contract, citing that the way he is off the field is how he needs to be on the field. “You play with your head, not your heart. in your personal life? Heart….Play the game, play it from your heart and you know what, I will show you the kwan. That’s the truth man, can you handle it?”
Jerry knew that if Rod did what he loved with love, then, and only then, would he be able to show him the money.
And that doesn’t just hold true in the movies. Steve Tisch, a proud owner of the NY Giants, declared that the key to their big victory this past weekend was that they ” …played with more heart, more passion, and more love for each other and for the game of football.” Does that negate, replace, or even diminish all the hard work, training, strategy, talent and skill necessary to achieve such great heights? No, of course not. But
it’s the thing that will make the difference between a good team and a great team, a good life and a great one.
Most of us are taught to live by our heads, logic and ego, not by our hearts and guts. But only when we listen to our hearts and put love into everything are we our most authentic selves, which means living our truth.
And when we are living our truth, we can then more easily speak our truth, and stand in our truth.
And that is the best way to guarantee peace and prosperity in our lives, no matter what the circumstances.
Million dollar contract, Lombardi Trophy or not, we are all players the Super Bowl of Life –
so are you playing with your head or your heart?
Give me a buzz and I’ll make sure that unlike
Tom Cruise in his confrontation with Jack Nicholson
,
y
ou can indeed handle the truth and
start living in alignment with who you are and what you want to make happen
both on the field and off!
