One of the goals I declared in my 90-day challenge is to become more active.
So I made myself get up early this morning and go to yoga class. While I was doing the exercises I noticed that my mind was wandering and thinking. I kept on bringing my awareness back to my body and the present moment but it would continue to wander off.
But then about 20 minutes into the class, something clicked and I was completely present. My mind quieted down and I was feeling completely blissful.
At this moment, I had the ‘a-ha’ that if we get into the habit to establish a specific rhythm for ourselves, it is easier to fall back into that rhythm when we notice we’re out of it. (So if I had been consistent with keeping myself present, it may not have taken me 20 minutes to get my mind to quiet down.)
Eventually it becomes natural for ourselves to be in that rhythm. That is the dominant pattern/habit we set up for ourselves.
I left my yoga class feeling completely centered, grounded and at peace. And as I write this, I am still in this space. It is a wonderful space to be in.
This concept of establishing a rhythm affects every area of our lives. Everything is energy. Energy vibrates at different frequencies. We experience each frequency differently.
Think of your heart beating. It has a rhythm or frequency. Don’t you notice the difference with how you feel based on how slow or fast your heart is beating? There are palpable changes in your body.
If you are someone who is always on the go, racing from one place to another, never taking time for yourself, always worrying about what’s going to happen next, etc. etc, then you have established this pattern for yourself. This is your natural rhythm. You will easily fall into this routine. And as a result, you consistently feel stressed and overwhelmed. You may have a faster resting heart rate and higher blood pressure too!
Conversely, if you are someone who takes care of yourself, takes time to appreciate what you have, gets excited about good things in your life, values yourself and uses your time and money consciously, then this is the kind of life you experience because you’ve established this pattern or routine for yourself.
Like attracts like.
Therefore, to change any situation in your life, you need to break the current established pattern by replacing it with a new pattern that you desire.
If you want to experience more prosperity (whatever prosperity means to you), you need to consistently take steps which support your vision. Replace the habits that are influenced by ‘lack thinking’ with habits that promote abundance, value and possibilities.
The little baby action steps you take consistently over time will establish a new pattern for your life. You will be establishing and reinforcing a new vibe for yourself and as a result, you ‘attract’ more of the same. This becomes your natural consciousness.
Establishing a rhythm that you desire also creates another benefit. You don’t experience the roller coaster of emotions that one experiences as a result of ‘stop and go’ action.
So…
What kind of life rhythm do you want?
And what action steps will you take today to either establish this new vibe or reinforce one that you already have?

Great post, nat. Rhythm and frequency are sooooo important in creating the consistently joyful and expansive state that is our birthright. So happy to see you both walk it and talk it!
