Ready To Rise and Release

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Feeling fine,

like the river divine,

a bit sad of eye,

a little shy,

but full of hope,

and wanting to thrive,

I am alive.

—————————————————

Want no disguise and

nothing to hide,

out of the shadows

into the crowd,

what a ride.

—————————————————

Singing loudly

and oh so proud,

I am alive.

—————————————————

The waves are in a storm right now,

it’s not my favorite norm at all,

when it’s over I will rise,

I am alive.

Work With Your Emotions

To Release Them

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

According to Matt James, PhD in his “Ready to Release” article in Psychology Today, our emotions carry purpose and wisdom. As we all experience positive and negative emotions he suggests us to begin “working with” our emotions instead of hiding them in order to release them. He feels that using the well known expression of “controlling” them could actually be misinterpreted as beating them into submission.

Many of us hide our emotions especially the negative ones and even if we might think “out of sight, out of mind,” these emotions are still there and working on causing all types of problems as they manifest mentally and physically. Many of these can be held in resentment, anger, hostility, fear, guilt and regrets. Some people hold onto things so long, they might not even know what they’re holding onto anymore.

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

In his research, James found a great example of the 19th century Hawaiians and their vastly different approach to releasing emotions. As the Westerners were arriving, the ancient Hawaiians were in fact almost devoid of mental and physiological disease. How is this possible? This is because the Hawaiians work with their “unihipili,” (trans. “little creature/a little self inside you = our unconscious mind).

In a nutshell, our emotions that are stored within us collect, and once they surface, they will be expressed and worked through so that they can be released. This relieves stress, repressed emotions and memories.

Reign On…

Rain does not always come down the same –

it can be a steady drizzle

across the window pane,

sometimes just spitting and blowing

not even certain where it’s going.

————————————————————————

Rain can come as a light shower

then it also can go full power

at any and all hours.

————————————————————————

Whether a gentle mist,

or a heavy downpour-

watch as the air currents

go through the weather vane.

Rain does not always come down the same.

————————————————————————

As you watch the raindrops merge and fall

it continues to change and does not remain –

the same.

————————————————————————

Can you remember on certain days of rain,

when it helped you understand your pain –

it’s like balm for your soul

that helps retain strength for our goals.

————————————————————————

I crave the rain.

Not each rain brings on a change,

sometimes it’s just to maintain.

When warm and cold collide however,

then cold brings cooler and warm warmer weather.

————————————————————————

When temps shift between seasons

it marks yet another reason

for falling rain.

Rain does not always come down the same.

Enjoy the rain falling and remember it’s You leading the rein that’s calling.

Part II: Flower in the Snow…

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Flower in the snow, ❄️

do you even know

how beautiful you are –

head reaching to the stars.

Sun, clouds, rain and snow.

🌹 Flower in the Snow,

I can see you stand proud with the sun

and blow with the wind,

even when it’s a cold one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flower in the Snow – ☃️

no matter what the weather throws,

you always bless us with a beautiful show.

I just wanted to let you know

how gorgeous you are,

you make our days glow! ✨

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know

if you heard of Leonardo,

but he studied the beauty in nature

and the force inside life that helps us grow

Sometimes seeing flowers can feel like seeing rainbows 🌈 .

He wanted to know

about this force that allows us to transform

that what is within us all

that pushes us to our greatest potential

to set the world aglow!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let our brains be relieved of made up constraints,

let us let go of the mundane

and change to the other lane –

👇

Even in the pouring rain,

it’s so not insane for doing what’s truly ours,

we’re on the chosen train even if to many’s disdain,

it is possible for everyone to find, get and maintain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When there’s something weighing you down,

it’s your baggage or your griefcase.

Look within to find the answers to change your pace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forgiveness is a freeing grace to each other –

not good is it being angry at one another.

Find that place in your heart

where you can see the perspective

of your sister or brother,

Father or Mother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using God as your guide is your best start,

he will help you see your part.

Waves of the ocean,

sand in a glass –

if we call on God,

this too shall pass.

God’s Blessings,

Evana

A flower in the snow.;

it’s beauty is put to show,

comes out to brighten our world

without saying a word.

True beauty comes from within;

even a brief smile or a little wave

will make the world a better place.

Say “thanks,” don’t be ruled by haste

and always lean towards joy;

give the world some heart ❤️ in your day,

and add kindness to our shared space.

We are all here together:

each of us storming our own weather,

so why not be as gentle as a feather

as you spread joy and kindness –

what could be better?

True beauty comes from within;

even a brief smile or a little wave

will make the world a better place.

Look up from the screens,

put away the devices,

too much time is sacrificed.

Let’s use our time wisely,

enjoy time spent together

it keeps families connected better.

Get out, shine ✨ out your love, ❤

listen quietly to him above:

hear your feet 🥾 🥾 upon the snow

and don’t forget to glow!

Glow with the love 💗 of God

inside you.

Glow and shine out to the world!

🌺With Love and Blessings,

Evana.

Create Love 💖Alive!

“To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.”

~ E. Lang

If you are a creator,

you are a part of creation,

so let’s spur a creation nation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Only if you’re impatient

with yourself and others

you will feel alienation.

Alienation is like isolation

against association,

deviation from liberation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You’re either part of creation

or part of destruction

in the making,

no need faking:

truth thinking leads to leading

but most are blindly agreeing

without looking,

and without seeing.

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Don’t agree that all is true

when it goes against me

and goes against you –

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are all here for a short time.

Time cannot be bought –

the clock chimes.

God wants us to stand up

for what we believe

not blindly be deceived

and follow someone else’s lead.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are all meant to lead,

leaders make leaders

our need is to believe –

we stand up for what’s right

even when not well received

from those uptight.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Those who at first we falsely perceive as bright,

then somehow plow right through the ✋ stoplight

as we regarded them as polite without foresight.

Those that enjoy attention from the spotlight

until we feel no delight in the plight of a snakebite.

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live – I will.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Don’t agree that all is true

when it goes against me

and goes against you –

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

People are easily convinced

without using their own minds

letting other choose and not resist

to dismiss the unfixed

and continue confined in a bind.

_____________________________________________________________

Quick to react, quick to judge –

so much easier not to budge,

to not think on their own

and also quick to raise the tone.

_____________________________________________________________

Much harder it is to keep our calm,

God’s comfort acts as soothing balm

as he holds us in his palm

as our savior and strongest hold

keep safe your heart of gold. 💛

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To all with him console:

🙌 May your most beautiful 🌺 life unfold!

To be or not to be – I am.

To see or not to see – I can.

To love or not to love – I do.

To live or not to live- I will.

Blessed Words of Songbirds…

Have you heard birds sing lately?
Let your words and actions ring greatly
every day you are alive!

~E. Lang

Some of us are singing in the car,

doesn’t matter who you are,

let your world resound with joy –

go ahead and revive

your deepest desire to thrive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There’s no reason we shouldn’t strive

towards our highest potential

derived from the inside

brought out to arrive and jive

a trillion miles high.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So keep the flame inside alive

even if you feel off track,

even if you feel held back:

There’s no one else on earth like you,

only YOU can bring to life

your biggest dreams, it’s true!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Be patient and humble –

life is full of tumbles,

but no need to grumble,

we all at times stumble.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make sure you keep a journal

for dreams and goals internal

it helps gather thoughts

and ideas become organized,

making them more apparent on paper

so plans can be comprised then realized.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Goals and objectives,

strategies and tactics

are effective directives

it’s okay to sometimes turn full detective

as long as you have a connective objective

that is of God and You reflective, not circumspective.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

_______________________________________________________________________________

Problems come and problems go –

they’re part of life as we know,

what can be done is circumvent,

there are many ways to repent!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Problems are opportunities in workpants

see the “lesson learning” chance,

everything is “figure-out-able,”

it’s time to head to the round table,

put all your cards on it

and always keep your heart safe and stable.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard birds sing lately?

Let your words and actions ring greatly

every day you are alive!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Be insistent

to stay consistent and persistent.

We all have the need to achieve –

no time to grieve but be relieved

it’s vital to believe not self deceive

why not find the ace up your sleeve?

_______________________________________________________________________________

At this hour

it’s time to grow,

and time to empower

so you can show your glow

and accept your superpower.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It’s time to let it shower of Love, Peace and Kindness!

Blessings,

Evana.

Glide or Fly…and the Garden of Evana

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Whether you glide or fly,

don’t let nature’s beauty pass you by.

Photo courtesy of Fernando Gonzalez 💖

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Glide

or

fly

like a bird

in the sky.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide,

or should I fly,

pump my wings a little bit

like pedals on a bike –

don’t quit.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide,

or should I fly? –

Force like an engine’s power

every day and every hour –

be careful to not be misled.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When you need to take a break,

glide a while

just let things go

for your own sake.

________________________________

Rest to perch on a branch,

use “God’s time” to reflect –

some things take time to figure out

listen to songs of nature to reconnect.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide,

or should I fly?

_____________________________

Set your mind free

of the overwhelm pattern

to release your new mind

from all the chatter

after receiving

nature’s gift of wonder

in a generous lather.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Do you remember as a kid

riding up a hill?

It can be constant climbing for a while

until you improve your skill.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Many things that one loses

can be rebuilt –

persist to be enriched

and flip your script.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When it comes to personal growth

resist to just float instead devote –

Look up and promote your best self

imagine that you’re making an oath

to yourself to lift and shift not drift.

Keep faith, hope and your will

and you can refill

your cup of love

and let go of thoughts of ill.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Everything that goes up

also comes back down,

keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Everything that gets planted –

grows to expose that what you compose.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Things that are buried

eventually come to surface

so live with purpose and let your best flow.

You can smell it from your nose

and feel it in your toes!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The energy that surrounds us is ours

let’s use the time we have to empower:

clear our minds of ill and use our hours

to make space for the most beautiful flowers.

Practice planting super healthy seeds

to grow our best possible garden of life indeed!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chaos and Inflammation

is in many a nation –

time to manage better control

of what we accept

into our mind, body and soul.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Should I glide or should I fly?

Is up to you to know

which way is up,

think higher and fill your cup.

Within your soul you know what’s right,

within your minds depth it all aligns,

listen to these inner truths

and you will soar in flight.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When it’s time to start your day,

you’ll have all the strength God gifted us with

so chose the better way!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Love, Peace and Kindness,

Evana.

🌊 When the Tide is right or wrong – 👉Count me in 💖

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

When the tide is right –

when the tide is wrong

don’t wait too long,

no one is You,

that’s your superpower too –

keep pulling through

waiting won’t improve you.

 

While the tide is wrong

stay strong –

and think of the ocean song.

Don’t wait for your ship

to come in, just swim!

 

No matter what you’re going through:

“Damn those torpedo’s, full speed ahead!”

Don’t let your mind tell you otherwise,

don’t leave your unique story unread.

 

Have a bad day –

start now

feel tired, bad or sick,

better be quick –

thoughts and body

push aside:

this is your ride,

this is your time.

 

High above flies the dove,

seek the things that are of love –

scout it out even during drought,

without a doubt you will grow a sprout.

 

At any age, any stage –

begin to engage

you will be freed

of your own cage.

 

Be the change

you want to see,

it can help you feel

more free,

always find a way

to see more positivity!

 

Remember to question:

“Will this

(what I dream to do),

contribute

to the greater good?”

then find a way to pursue!

direct your attention and

lessen the “could and should.”

 

“The purpose of life

is a purposeful life,

we only get what we give,

let’s not waste time in strife!”

 

Rid yourselves of thoughts

that weigh heavy on your mind,

that’s the only way

you’ll be free to fly!

 

Be forgiving, let things go,

this is the best way

to grow.

 

The grass is greener

where you water it

so don’t sit

and go for it!

 

Take your horse by the reins,

blood runs through our veins –

stick to your plan,

keep up, show up –

you can!

 

The tide is below,

the dove is above. 

the grass is where we land our feet

and the horse gives us strength to compete.

 

 

Count me in…

 

Count me in

take me for a spin,

take me through the rain

on a midnight train.

 

Count me in,

I’m ready to win

in this world of sin

it’s time to light my flame.

 

Burning in me

are my deepest desires,

they’re not just small fires.

 

Gimme a shake

right through my break

how much can one take,

before needing a lake?

 

A lake, some woods,

furry friends –

away from “should’s”

 

Burning in me

are my deepest desires,

they’re not just small fires.

 

Count me in.

 

One ☝️ is to begin,

two create a stronger win,

together we can build bridges

and take out our wounds’ stitches.

 

Go through your closet of pain

see what you find lurking,

what’s keeping you from gain

and what is and isn’t working.

 

All of us carry some past along 

of where we started and came from,

unpack the baggage with us that stayed,

unravel the problems left in the shade.

rearrange and overcome,

it’s then you’ll see more light of the sun.

 

After some self-learning,

your wheels will begin turning.

A new path will be cleared,

the new you won’t be yearning,

instead, my dear:

you’ll be doing what you’re meant to do

and break through to the brand-new YOU.

 

“Beauty begins

the moment

you decide

to be

yourself.”

~COCO CHANEL

 

Many Blessings,

Evana.

Own the door that’s yours,

no more standing at shores,

just keep the good stuff brewing,

continue your flow of renewing

again each time with pursuing –

and always keep in mind your goal.

In time you’ll be lead to the right door.

Open the door,

there’s more to life.

Open the door,

don’t think twice –

a short time lives a life.

You’ll know by the light you feel

that’s it is for you and real –

you deserve it

you are a big deal:

now take your light and

keep it bright!

Find within what tribe you reside,

some quality people to be by your side,

and look for people who don’t hide

but feel pride to be of a good kind:

those who step up ⬆️

not talk down,

those that help others

chase away the frown.

It’s okay to open the door,

you are meant for so much more!

🙌 Be blessed,

Which Shoes Shall I Choose?

evanalife74's avatarevanalife74 Leave a comment

Which Shoes Shall I choose?

Which plan do I follow?

Should I just pick a pair,

do I dare?

 

They say if you walk a mile in another’s,

you learn to care.

 

Opening up to other’s views

can be like stars that spike –

radiating from bright light.

It can help loose ties bind

and restlessness of minds –

by stepping into shoes of those ill-defined.

 

They say if you walk a mile…

 

Three sides to every story,

the truth from each is somewhat skewed.

It is a human trait, but time to clean the slate

and change our world anew.

no matter what’s on your plate,

peace of mind awaits.

 

We’re all the same right from the start

and it’s never too late to take our weight

and let the pressure deflate

love is in our fate,

peace of mind awaits.

Can you relate

to wanting to please others

trying to create

the mold they’re desiring

not welcomed to debate?

 

Instead of filling someone else’s shoes;

walk in your own, it’s not rude

no need to complicate, no need to change

your mood to rude in a high magnitude

 

They say if you walk a mile…

 

Instead of die while trying

eventually we’re left realizing

it’s up to us finding

what makes us us and

there’s no need for hiding.

 

If not looked within

to find ourselves redesigning,

we may stay stuck in other’s shadows

never quite shining.

 

Enjoy what you do,

do what you enjoy!

Go ahead and let it annoy

those who have no reason to employ

their conflicted minds of your perceived joy.

 

Blaze your own trail

path of fire –
find your dearest desire

and take your journey higher.

 

Blaze your own trail,

clear your own path,

no need to be a wiz at math,

don’t question, stop stressin’

the world needs your expression.

Anytime you come and go,

enter and leave –

make it count and

make it heard,

leave an impression,

share your good word

soon you’ll have this world stirred.

 

Make it an obsession

through confession

and always keep addressing

that what’s stressing.

It’s not important what’s in your possession,

but it is to freshen your lesson

in perception.

Set a goal, one at a time –

keep a meaningful purpose in mind,

find some friends you can trust,

don’t let your passions turn to rust.

 

Let it out, make a plan

you surely know you can

it’s time to strategize and realize –

keep your eyes on the prize.

Keep shining bright with all your might,

Evana.
