The Secret To Knowing Yourself
One of my favorite speeches ever given was a commencement address that Jim Carey made for the graduates at Maharishi University. As someone who regularly practices Transcendental Meditation, it was fascinating to hear a Hollywood Celebrity talking about the Universe, the law of attraction, spiritual connection and love in the context of life and livelihood...touching on the principles of living A Love Styled Life without even realizing he was doing it.
As I've shared before, living A Love Styled Life starts with truly and completely knowing yourself...who you are, and how you desire to feel and be in your life. And as I've also shared, knowing yourself can be one of the most difficult things to do...especially if you've been avoiding or hiding from her for years.
But the secret to doing that...to truly knowing yourself on a deep and profound level is shared within the short three minute video montage of Jim Carey's amazing speech. Any guesses what the secret is?
Watch below (and see if you're right):
Did you find the answer?
The secret to finding your way back to your authentic self?
Here's the secret:
When I first realized that I had no idea who I was, and what I truly wanted out of life, this was where I began...in silence. I would go for walks around my neighborhood (sans cell phone) to listen, observe, and think. Sometimes I would pray, other times I would simply observe my thoughts or the world around me. But mostly, I would question what it is truly wanted out of life...how I wanted to feel and be in everything from my livelihood to my relationships to my health.
Slowly, over time and through this practice (which I still continue today), I found my way back to my authentic self.
Now it's your turn...
In the aim of better knowing your authentic self, this week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks:
how can you create a practice of silence within your own life?
For this week's challenge, I want you to share one way you've practiced silence in your life this week. Is it going for walk, meditating, swimming, running, yoga? Is it hiking your favorite trail or enjoying a nice hot bath? What is calling to you as a means to going within and connecting with yourself in the silence of your heart?

Becoming The Dream
There are 400 billion bits of information that our brain has exposure to...every single moment of the day.
Yes...you read that right...400 billion bits of information!
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that not even the most advanced of human brains can compute all that information at once.
So what does our brain do?
It narrows down that 400 billion bits of information into a measly 2,000.
Yes, you read that right...
Every single moment of the day, your brain pulls out and processes only 2,000 bits of information from the 400 billion bits of information available to it. And just to hit that point home further, those 2,000 bits of information are approximately one-half of one-millionth of a percent...or one half of this little number: 0.000001. Needless to say, in comparison to what's available to us, our brain doesn't even come close to tapping into all that's available to us in any given moment of the day.
But what does this have to do with living A Love Styled Life? Simply...everything. Because the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings we hold about everything in our life becomes the barometer for what information our brain pulls out and processes.
In this week's video, Elizabeth Gilbert (author of Eat, Pray, Love) talks about how this played out in her own life...and specifically in relation to her love life, and attracting the man of her dreams. Watch the short 3 minute video below:
As Elizabeth Gilbert talked about, she wasn't able to attract the love of her life into her life, until she became the kind of woman who stood in her power and recognized her worth. Her brain literally couldn't recognize the amazing relationship, until she had an amazing relationship with herself and knew (aka thought, believed, and felt) that it was possible.
So in the name of becoming your dream life, this week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks:
What will you need to become, in order to live the life and livelihood you're dreaming of?
For this week's challenge, I want you to share one little thing you can begin to become in order to move closer and closer to your dream. Is that test driving your dream car, taking 20 minutes to meditate, or signing up for the domain of your dream business? Is it creating an affirmation such as: " I look forward to having a free work schedule ", or " I look forward to feeling confident about myself ", or " I look forward to living the life of my dreams "?

The Power of Faith
As time goes by, it's becoming more and more apparent to me just how important it is for us to connect with our true and authentic selves. How we see ourselves, what we believe in, all of these things direct what we are choosing to experience in all areas of our lives.
In simplest terms, it's all about the power of our faith!
