Life is hard. Life is a joyful journey. Your response to these statements determines whether or not you are honoring your spirit. To be happy peaceful and productive in life you need to follow your inner knowing, your hunches and gut instincts. Your spirit is the divine spark that God source or your higher self has put into you as your guiding tool to help you live a more fulfilling life. Honoring your spirit is to respect who you are as a spiritual being and manifesting the unique positive desires in your heart. Many of life's difficulties with career and painful relationships are because you have turned off that light switch of God source which is your plug to divine wisdom. When life moves easily and happily you are following your inner wisdom. When it is traumatic and painful it is because you have dishonored yourself in some way. Universal law is very simple, "It is done unto you as you believe".

The universe gives you exactly back what you put out. If you honor yourself the universe honors you. If you disrespect yourself, guess what? Your beliefs are more powerful than you can imagine. Dishonoring can be eating toxic foods for your body temple or being in a relationship with someone who is not supporting you. Here are some simple rules to follow, to help you to h.o.n.o.r. your spirit.

H - Honesty. Honesty with yourself and your life. Are you overweight or broke? Are your relationships in trouble? Take an inventory of the negative attributes in your life and look at them truthfully. Also assess honestly your good points. Are you kind, cooperative and organized? Be honest with who you are. Learn to love what you are manifesting and begin to be honest with your buried limiting beliefs.

O - Owning. This means to be honest with who you are and also own your stuff! Take responsibility for your honest assessment of who you are. If you are in debt $20,000 own up to it and that means being proactive to change it. Try debt counseling or money management. Owning up to your issues shows self respect and self esteem, it does not acknowledge failure.

N - Nature. Your spirit is in tuned with all of the natural elements of life. The more you are in nature the more you become synchronized to the rhythm and the vibrations of life. Nature teaches you there are cycles. Situations come and go. There is death and rebirth. Nature also heals your wounded soul. A walk along the beach or in the mountains does wonder to balance your life.

O - Openness. Be open to the synchronistic messages and divine wisdom that is always at your fingertips. Open your heart to living a more spiritual and intuitive life. This leads you to answer your hearts desires. Meditation, quiet contemplative time, along with journaling makes you more open to universal messages. Trust your feelings.. what gives you goose bumps and chills?? When you are open to the flow of life, you begin to be guided coincidentally to creative potential and inner peace.

R-enew and R-ecreate - When you renew yourself, you are flowing with the universal rhythms of recreating and renewing yourself, like the cycles of nature. Throughout life there are many deaths and this gives you the opportunity to recreate. Through these periods you need to be honest with yourself, own where you are, go into nature and be open to the transitory messages and recreate yourself. This is healing and honoring your spirit!
