You will find, with daily practice, your intention arises with more ease & can be so beneficial to the smooth running of your day. Examples of Intentions: I intend to see the goodness in everyone. Or I intend to be kind to myself under pressure. Or I see goodness in everyone. Enjoy.

Start your day with positivity & intention by taking 5 minutes in the morning to think about the day ahead and set a guiding intention.

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” ~ Dorothy Zennuriye Juno ~ Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it. At other times, we are not able to have the kind of relationship that we would like. If the other person is unable or unwilling to meet our needs of honesty, trustworthiness, kindness and integrity, then the relationship will be limited. Acceptance is the understanding of this. Acceptance of 'what is' guides us into something better. Please reach out to me if you would like my help in the practice and the art of acceptance. Namaste. dorothyzennuriyejuno.com

Acceptance is key in relationships; if someone can't meet your needs, acceptance of 'what is' will guide you towards something better.

If you can begin one change about how you live your life, begin with your decision to be radically self-honest. Catch yourself when you are telling an untruth - no matter how innocent or minor it may seem. Make a point to stop yourself - even if you are mid-sentence in conversation with another, and correct what you are saying. When you are telling yourself something that you want so desperately to be true, pay attention to whether you are being wholly honest or if you are avoiding what 'is' true in the face of what you wish for. "Radical self-honesty frees you to live your truth." Join me here, and as I share the one question that reminds you how to define what 'is' true. ~ Namaste In kindness and gratitude, ~ Dorothy

Embrace radical self-honesty in all aspects of your life to live your truth and be free.

Many of us go through periods where we feel down. Often we try to push ourselves out of this feeling by giving ourselves a hrad time or judging ourselves for not being "happier".

Moments of joy are curated based on our ability - our willingness to appreciate, to have gratitude; to be present to our experience and to see the beauty in all of life, to receive the gifts of unconditional kindness and love that we give and are given. Joy is the heartfelt witnessing of what is deeply meaningful and important. All of these involve the allowing of our heart to be open - to witness - to experience what moves us so deliberately into joy. In this episode of Life Coaching WISDOM, I share the path to experiencing unrelenting joy. Please join me! MUSIC: The Echelon Effect, 'Tracking Aeroplanes'

Discover the path to experiencing unrelenting joy by allowing your heart to be open and witnessing the beauty in all of life, with gratitude.

How to Curate Unleashed Joy

“Perhaps it is more fitting than ever to allow acceptance into your heart; to let it guide you towards even greater things.” - Dorothy Ratusny We do not always have the kind of relationships that we would like. Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it; and at times it is because the other person is not able to meet our needs; our needs of honesty, of trustworthiness, of kindness, and of integrity, that the relationship is limited. Acceptance must also be the understanding of this; the ability to allow for others on their own path and journey through life; and to release our attachments, to what we can accept is not possible; not as the result of our unwillingness, rather the acknowledgement and acceptance that another is unwilling or unable – or both.

Acceptance allows for growth in relationships, even when the other person can't meet our needs; it means releasing attachments to what is not possible.
