Hello, and welcome to today's show, Legacy Living, Make Your Life Count.
0:28
I'm your host, Doctor Gloria Gloria Burgess, international leadership expert and trusted
0:37
advisor. Welcome to Legacy Living, Make your Life Count. I'm so delighted
0:46
that you join me today. I have a wonderful show for you. In
0:51
a previous episode, I shared with you the importance of slowing down and some
0:58
of my favorite ways to do just that so you can take good care of
1:03
yourself when your life gets a little frenetic, or when you're feeling frazzled or
1:11
just plain fried, or maybe when you are simply feeling overwhelmed. And let's
1:19
face it, we all get a bit overwhelmed at times. Today, I'm
1:26
going to focus on some specific ways that you can be intentional about cultivating and
1:33
creating practices that will support you in integrating rest and renewal as a part of
1:41
your everyday life. Okay, all right, now, you can help me
1:48
as I incorporate the practice of asking you to share the wealth with somebody else.
1:55
After you listen to this episode, I want you to tell somebody your
2:00
sister, your brother, your mother, your father, your best friend.
2:04
I want you to tell someone who can benefit from what I share with you
2:08
in this very special episode. And I also want you to be sure to
2:13
come back to this podcast over and over again when you need someone to remind
2:20
you to hit the pause button and slow down so that you can take time
2:28
to take good care of yourself. All right, let's get started. Did
2:37
you know that rest is the original transformative technology. That's right now. That's
2:46
according to doctor Matthew Edlund. Doctor Edlin reminds us that through rest we rebuild,
2:54
rewire, and renew ourselves. Literally. I love that, and he
3:01
calls it the original transformative technology. So here's the point. If we want
3:09
to transform ourselves, if we want to recreate ourselves, right, we must
3:15
learn to elevate rest in our lives. When we elevate rest and make time
3:23
for it, we rebuild, rewire, and renew ourselves, not once,
3:30
not twice, but over and over and over again. I call this practice
3:37
of rest sanctuary. Now, as I mentioned in a previous episode, I
3:44
wrote a book called Sanctuary. You can check it out sometime on Amazon or
3:50
through your local independent bookseller. In my book, I share many of the
3:55
same things that I will share with you today. So if you're curious about
4:00
developing a new habit, a new dance step, right, a new practice.
4:04
Be sure to buy the book so that you can refer to it whenever
4:11
you need to do so. So, how do we make way for sanctuary?
4:19
Especially in our hectic, fast paced lives that seem to just be getting
4:25
faster and faster and faster. How do you make room for sanctuary? I'm
4:33
going to ask the question another way. How can we not make room for
4:40
sanctuary? I mean, really, we all need to pause for refreshment and
4:45
renewal. Now you all know that I'm a musician, right, and without
4:48
pauses or rests, what we call music would be nothing more than a continuous
4:55
stream of white noise. And the same thing is true in our lives.
5:03
Can I just tell you something? Without pausing, without rest, the grand
5:09
symphony of our life becomes nothing more than a continuous stream of meaningless activity.
5:15
That's right, meaningless activity. But when we pause, we actually make way,
5:27
We make way for sanctuary. This sacred pause provides gracious space for us
5:38
to pay attention to the magnificent music of our lives. This sacred pause provides
5:46
food to nourish our souls. Sanctuary calls us to get centered and grounded so
5:56
we can attune to and tend to the parts of ourselves that are frazzled out
6:01
of sync, or, as I said earlier, just plain fried. Now,
6:09
it's been said that humans are profoundly rhythmic. In fact, it's the
6:16
main way we communicate through language and through music. So I invite you to
6:25
notice, just simply notice the song in your own heart. That song is
6:31
your unique melody. That's right, that song is uniquely yours. Your melody
6:40
is all about your why, your reason, your unique reason for being alive.
6:47
Sanctuary invites you to ask yourself, am I singing my own song?
6:56
Right? Am I singing my own song? Or? Or am I singing
7:00
somebody else's song? In other words, am I being true to my unique
7:05
purpose, my unique reason for being on the planet. I also want you
7:14
to notice how you connect with others, because that's your harmony, which is
7:21
how you relate, connect, engage with family, friends, coworkers, neighbors,
7:28
plants, animals, and the rest of our planet. Sanctuary invites you
7:36
to ask some very specific questions here. You might want to write these down.
7:45
Am I living only for myself? Am I in tune? With my
7:51
spouse, my kids. Am I connecting with my classmates or team members or
7:59
friends? Am I a good neighbor? When I reach out to others?
8:07
How might I serve them while also being faithful to myself? Now? I
8:15
invite you also to notice your pace that's right? Your pace or your tempo?
8:22
Is it fast or slow? Or is it just right? Sanctuary invites
8:30
you to ask yourself, am I going so fast that I lose track of
8:37
who and what's important to me? In other words, do I stop and
8:43
smell the roses? Do I include time for friends and other loved ones?
8:52
Or am I going so slow that I miss out on moments, opportunities and
9:01
relationships? So your song has other parts to it. I invite you to
9:11
notice your rhythm or your cadence right. Your rhythm is all about who and
9:22
what you value. It's about who and what you put in the center of
9:26
your life and who and what you put on the sidelines. Sanctuary invites you
9:35
to ask yourself, who do I include? Who do I include? Who
9:43
do I exclude? Do I pay attention to who and what has heart and
9:52
meaning? What do I emphasize? How does this serve me and others?
10:01
What new rhythms must I learn for this particular season of my life? Great
10:11
questions, Right, So what's my point? Here's what I know. When
10:20
we are in sync, when we're in concert with the music of our lives,
10:24
our melody, our harmony, our tempo and rhythm, we attend to
10:31
the condition and resonance of our soul. I'm going to repeat that again.
10:41
When we are in sync, when we are in concert with the music of
10:46
our lives, our melody, our harmony, tempo and rhythm, we attend
10:54
to the condition and resonance of our soul. And as as we attend to
11:01
that resonance of our own soul, at the same time, we're also attending
11:07
to the condition and resonance of the world soul, this wondrous global village we
11:16
call home. In other words, when we take care of ourselves, we're
11:20
taking care of our community, our city, our state, our nation,
11:31
and our world. When we are attuned to the music of our lives,
11:37
we can reconnect to our highest calling. Now, in the exterior realm of
11:46
doing, it is very very easy to just get off track, to lose
11:52
your groove. It's very easy to get out of alignment and be out of
11:58
harmony with yourself and with your calling, with your purpose. Right in this
12:03
realm of doing, there is so much that conspires against you. Here are
12:09
just a few of them. Competing priorities, distractions, limiting beliefs, self
12:20
sufficiency, multitasking, old patterns, other people's agendas for you, your own
12:30
insecurities, critical judgments, and so much more. I know that you could
12:37
add even more things to this list. Sanctuary beckons you. It summons you
12:46
to cross the threshold from doing to being. Now, what exactly is a
12:54
threshold? That's a great question. A threshold is a very special kind of
13:01
opening, an opening that allows you to walk away from the territory of external
13:07
demands and step into a realm of inner freedom. Can I just tell you
13:16
that when you cross that threshold, there's a great gift for you on the
13:22
other side. In fact, there are five important resources that await you on
13:30
the other side when you cross that threshold from doing to being. What are
13:39
those five important resources? Well, let me tell you right now. Intention,
13:48
commitment, compassion, humility, and joy. When you draw on these
14:00
special resources and their spiritual resources, I just want to tell you that these
14:07
resources are blessings, okay, and their blessings are absolutely immeasurable. Each one
14:18
of these resources is an invitation, an invitation to you to make way for
14:26
sanctuary. So let's talk a little bit about these spiritual resources, what they
14:33
invite you to be and do, and the wonderful benefits that will come your
14:39
way when you accept the invitation. So the first spiritual resource, again is
14:48
intention in tension. Now, this is an invitation and the first invitation,
14:56
and it's the first one on purpose because you I want to consciously set your
15:01
intention. This spiritual resource offers the twin gifts of clarity and focus. Clarity
15:13
and focus, when you set your intention to make a way for sanctuary,
15:20
this life affirming action will actually ensure a difference in your life today and a
15:28
different tomorrow. Now, if you're in a place where you have access to
15:37
a candle, I want you to actually go get that candle. And if
15:39
you don't, I want you to just imagine that you have a candle in
15:45
front of you, and I want you to light a candle to remind yourself
15:50
that setting your intention is a sacred moment. Lighting a candle is a time
15:58
honored way to bring light into darkness, to bring light into a broken,
16:04
frazzled world. In this way, lighting the candle, you focus your intention
16:12
on what truly matters. Now, did you know that when you set your
16:19
intention, it's actually an antidote. That's right, It's an antidote to distraction.
16:26
So if you want to get rid of distraction, drama, and other
16:30
disruptions or disturbances in your life, then you must be intentional. You must
16:37
set your intention. The next spiritual resource is commitment. So let's talk about
16:49
that. What is commitment. Well, Commitment is all about dedication and faithful
17:00
commitment is about going all the way, not part of the way, but
17:07
all the way. The invitation is to commit to your own well being.
17:15
Making an intentional commitment to your own well being is a special gift, a
17:21
gift from you and for you. This gift draws you in to an oasis
17:29
of self love and self care. Here in this awesome, beautiful oasis,
17:37
you can refresh yourself in the sacred waters of all beauty, humor, joy,
17:45
play, silence, solitude, and wonder. I want you to take
17:55
the time to write this out. So if you don't already have a notepad
18:00
or a small sheet of paper, a sticky note, go and get yourself
18:04
one, okay, and write this down. I commit to my own wellbeing.
18:15
Okay, I commit to my own well being. And I want you
18:19
to put your note in a place where you will see it throughout the day.
18:25
Maybe it's your kitchen, your refrigerator, maybe it's your mirror and your
18:27
bathroom, wherever it is that you pass through day after day, and you
18:33
can look at that several times a day. I want you to see that
18:37
note that you just wrote to yourself, and I want you to do this
18:41
for the next thirty days. Why because it takes about that long twenty eight
18:47
to thirty days to form a new habit. Okay. Now, commitment turns
18:53
vision into volition, all right. The next spiritual resource is compassion. And
19:04
compassion is all about being aware and caring and kind. It's also about being
19:12
courageous, about being willing to help others who are suffering. Compassion invites you
19:21
to begin with yourself, which is a wondrous gift. Why because beginning with
19:29
yourself opens your heart to have compassion and mercy for others. Now, I
19:37
want you to find a few things around your home, or your yard or
19:41
your office that are heart shaped. I enjoy collecting heart shaped rocks over the
19:48
years. People who know me know I love to collect hearts, so I've
19:52
received gifts of heart shaped from wood, from onyx, soapstone. I also
20:00
love photos of plants with heart shaped leaves. I know when I go on
20:07
my walks, I actually look for plants with heart shaped leaves as well.
20:14
Hasta beech trees, violets, morning glory, and thurium. Love love those
20:21
plants. Right now, take a picture, either a mental picture or a
20:26
physical picture, of your favorite heart shape, and keep it as a reminder
20:33
as your own heart opens, to have greater compassion for yourself and for other
20:40
folks in your life. The Dali Lama reminds us that love and compassion are
20:48
necessities, not luxuries. Without them, he says, humanity cannot survive.
21:00
So love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot
21:10
survive humility. So what is humility? A lot of us get confused about
21:22
humility. Humility is not thinking any more or less of yourself than you think
21:30
of anyone else. That's right. In other words, you value and honor
21:36
yourself the same as you do other people. Humility invites you to ask yourself
21:44
a very important question, How can I support my own health and happiness in
21:51
this moment? Now, one of the many gifts of humility is inspiration.
22:02
Inspire comes from the Latin word inspirare, which means to breathe into or upon.
22:11
When we are inspired, we are infused with life from a force outside
22:18
of ourselves. I'm a person of faith, so I believe that God is
22:25
that force that breathes into and upon us to infuse us with new life.
22:37
Now, on your daily or weekly to do list, I want you to
22:41
be sure to write your own name, Okay, on your daily or weekly
22:48
to do list, please be sure to include in that list your own name,
22:55
and I want you to write the word sanctuary next to your name,
23:02
and be sure to put your name and sanctuary on the very top of your
23:11
daily or your weekly to do list. Okay. The next spiritual resource is
23:23
joy. Now. Joy invites us to recognize the divinity within ourselves. That's
23:34
right, the divinity within ourselves. Now, sometimes we confuse happiness and joy.
23:42
Okay, Happiness comes from the outside. Joy comes from within. Happiness
23:51
is a free flowing stream. Joy is whitewater, Exhilarationiness is often fleeting right
24:03
here today poof gone. Joy is constant, true joy, which is a
24:11
precious, precious gift comes from the satisfaction of being content with and faithful to
24:18
who and whose you are. Let Pierre teal Hard des Chardin's words encourage you.
24:30
He says, joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.
24:40
I love that, So celebrate yourself, sing your favorite song, and dance
24:48
like no one is watching. Now, I'm going to give you a few
24:56
practices to help you cultivate sanctuary. Okay, the spiritual resources help you make
25:06
a way for sanctuary, and these are the practices to help you cultivate sanctuary.
25:14
Roomy says, there's a way of breathing. There is a way of
25:19
breathing that's a shame and a suffocation, and there's another way of expiring a
25:32
love breath that lets you open infinitely. Practices form us. In other words,
25:42
practices train us how to be as we move through our days. A
25:48
good practice is life giving and life affirming. Like a love breath, it
25:53
allows our soul to open wide. Can I just tell you that life is
26:02
exquisitely better when you include at least one life giving practice in the regular rhythm
26:08
of your daily and weekly routines. Your practice can be as simple as saying
26:15
thank you to welcome each new day, or it can be something more,
26:22
maybe five minutes each day to jot down who and what you're grateful for,
26:27
five minutes of being still absolutely still on purpose, and then next week bump
26:37
it up to ten minutes. Here's what matters most. Be intentional and choose
26:45
a practice that delights and refreshes you. Because if it's a chore and if
26:51
you dread doing it, guess what, it won't be a practice. It
26:56
won't be a life giving practice. Right, So be intentional and choose a
27:00
practice that both delights you, makes you laugh, makes your face just light
27:04
up, and a practice that refreshes you. Now when you do this,
27:10
when you make that choice, you will find it much much easier to commit
27:15
to your practice on a regular basis. In fact, I like to say,
27:19
when you practice your practice regularly and with delight, it can actually make
27:26
your interior life more bountiful and satisfying. And as that bounty and satisfaction renews
27:36
and invigorates your inner life, it will begin to seep into your outer life.
27:45
So let's talk a little bit more about these practices Sanctuary practices. Now,
27:53
sanctuary speaks the language of the soul. Some of you may not know
28:00
about what that means. So I'm going to just share a little bit about
28:07
the language of the soul. The soul's language includes gratitude, beauty, and
28:17
silence. Right now, there are numerous practices from many contexts around the world
28:26
that cultivate sanctuary. The key practices that I want to share with you are
28:32
gratitude, beauty, silence, those languages of the soul, right, gratitude,
28:38
beauty, silence, music, solitude, being with nature, prayer,
28:49
slowing, and reflection. Now, I've used these practices with people of all
28:57
ages in contexts aerospace, business, civic, community, education, faith based
29:07
finance, healthcare, human services, tech, right it, law, leadership,
29:14
development, the military, philanthropy, political science, social justice, and
29:19
on and on. I wish I had time to delve into all the places
29:26
and all the practices right here, but I don't. So if you want
29:30
to learn more again, please check out my book, which is called Sanctuary.
29:37
Here's what I want you to do. As you learn about the different
29:42
practices that I'll share with you today, I want you to choose just one,
29:48
just one that suits you and then try it out for a while,
29:52
right, And then when you get used to it and you go, oh
29:53
yeah, I really like this one. This is really a good fit for
29:56
me. Then I want you to add another practice. Okay, all right,
30:00
here we go. Gratitude. Now, Gratitude is the soul's way of
30:11
having fun, right, It's the soul's way of rejoicing. Gratitude is a
30:18
time honored way to express our joy for the amazing, abundant blessings in our
30:26
lives. Expressing gratitude is also a way to pause, just to pause and
30:33
remember that each day is a precious gift. When you express gratitude, share
30:42
your joy and celebrate your blessings, you open your heart and open the door
30:48
to new possibilities and greater abundance. Now you can cultivate the practice of gratitude
31:00
by being present to and grateful for the abundant grace, mercies, protections,
31:07
and miracles in your life. Because of these bountiful blessings, you are here.
31:15
You are here, you are alive, You're vibrant, and you are
31:19
astonishing. So give thanks daily, give thanks continually. I want you to
31:32
carry this practice with you wherever you go. The practice of gratitude. M.
31:37
J. Ryan helps us remember. She says, consciously cultivating thankfulness is
31:45
a journey of the soul, one that begins when we look around us and
31:49
see the positive effects that gratitude creates. So gratitude is more than just writing
32:00
down your blessings or writing out thank you notes or saying thank you. Right,
32:05
gratitude can actually become a way of being through practice. Right that thirty
32:12
days of practice, trying it on and thirty days right, you're repeating,
32:19
you're repeating, you're repeating, You're in training yourself, and you can actually
32:23
transition from doing gratitude into becoming and being gratitude. Another practice is beauty.
32:40
Now, beauty is food for our soul. Thomas Moore reminds us that what
32:49
food is to the body, arresting, complex and pleasing images are to the
32:54
soul. And so are arresting complex and please using places, sounds, and
33:01
experiences. That's why it takes our breath away when we witness an exquisite per
33:10
Simon sunset right, it takes our breath away when we hear beautiful soul stirring
33:20
music like a jazz suite by John Coltrane. When we experience the awesome wonder
33:28
of a solitary shooting star against a black expanse of sky. We embrace our
33:39
full humanity and divinity when we are aware of and in contact with that which
33:47
is beautiful. Remember, remember that beauty is everywhere. Cultivate the practice of
34:00
beauty by being aware of the astonishing beauty all around you. Here are a
34:07
few examples, the smile of a child, wind whispering in the trees,
34:19
first flowers that push through the warming earth after winter's long chill, yellow crocus,
34:30
grape, hyacinthe paper white narcissus. A few more examples, the satisfying
34:39
shape of a hand thrown vase, the aroma of just baked bread, the
34:49
amazing artistry of corn rowed hair. Acknowledge the beauty in your life, not
35:00
just once in a while, but every single day, and as you take
35:04
in beauty, your soul will become more beautiful. Our sisters and brothers from
35:15
the Navajo Nation encourage us to walk in beauty, so that we might carry
35:21
beauty with us and imbue beauty at all times. Let the words of this
35:29
beautiful Navajo prayer inspire you. Let it breathe into you happily. May I
35:40
walk. May it be beautiful before me, May it be beautiful behind me,
35:52
May it be beautiful below me, May it be beautiful above me.
36:00
May it be beautiful all around me. In beauty it is finished. I
36:14
agree with Joan Chittister when she says it is the beauty within us that makes
36:22
it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. And now the practice
36:37
of silence. Silence is that gracious space where there is no sound, no
36:45
activity, or words. I'm gonna repeat that silence is that gracious space where
36:57
there is no sound, no activity, or words. We often think as
37:07
silence as just having no sound, but that's not it. No sound,
37:15
no activity, no words. In our noise polluted culture, silence is not
37:24
just a luxury, it is a necessity. In silence, we actually hear
37:31
what is essential. In silence, we can listen for and attend to the
37:38
deep desires of our own heart. As poet Rayner Mariah Ricca reminds us,
37:49
our task is to listen to the news that is always arriving out of silence.
38:00
In silence, we can develop an intimacy with ourselves that's otherwise impossible.
38:08
And I love that word intimacy. If you think about it, it kind
38:14
of sounds like into me ce. So in silence we can develop an into
38:20
me see an intimacy with ourselves that is otherwise impossible. In silence, we
38:25
rest and renew ourselves emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Now you
38:36
can cultivate the practice of silence by turning off your cell phone, by turning
38:43
off your iPad, by turning off your computer, your radio, your TV,
38:50
your video games, and then you can appreciate the silence. I want
39:00
you to find a time when you will not be interrupted or distracted, and
39:06
then find a place real or imaginary to practice silence daily. Begin with five
39:14
minutes next week, try ten minutes. The following week, try fifteen minutes,
39:21
then thirty. Then try to practice silence for sixty minutes each day.
39:29
Now, for some of you this might be a little hard, right,
39:32
so give yourself some grace. Start with five, then ten, then fifteen,
39:37
then thirty, and then try sixty minutes each day. In this spacious
39:44
silence, Mother Teresa instructs us you can hear God everywhere, in the closing
39:52
of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds sing
40:00
in the flowers in the animals. How about music, music as a practice.
40:17
Now, throughout the ages, the art of music has held a sacred
40:22
place in our lives. However, in our contemporary culture, music's higher purposes
40:30
have been muted or forgotten altogether. Once intended to illuminate, uplift and assist
40:39
in humanity spiritual evolution, we now use music as a mere prop for marketing
40:49
or as mundane entertainment. Now that's not wholesale, but oftentimes that's how music
40:57
is used in our culture. But you know what music is so much more
41:02
beyond being a sacred treasure. Music is love and sorrow, imagination and wonder
41:12
made audible. When we create music or listen to it and honor it for
41:17
the precious gift it provides, our lives are vastly enriched, vastly improved.
41:28
You can cultivate the practice of creating or listening to music by humming a melody
41:32
you already know, or hey, create your own song. You can also
41:37
listen to uplifting or soothing music. And I want you to try listening to
41:43
music without words, Okay, without the words, just instrumental music, so
41:49
you aren't distracted by the message. The words of the lyrics. Bring instrumental
41:55
music into your life daily, or simply hung hum, hum the song in
42:06
your own heart. I agree with Aldus Huxley, who says, after silence,
42:12
that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Now the practice
42:24
of solitude. Solitude is uninterrupted time for you to be alone, uninterrupted,
42:36
undistracted, undisturbed. Solitude means unplugging from your electronics, your computers, your
42:45
tablets, your cell phones. It means getting off the grid right and away
42:52
from it all. Solitude provides us with the oxygen required for deep rest,
43:00
renewal, and restoration. In solitude, your soul just opens wide and you
43:10
can listen deeply. You can reconnect with who you are when you are not
43:15
overly identified with the many roles you play at work, at home, and
43:22
your family and your community. Right now, I want you to cultivate the
43:28
practice of solitude by making time to be alone alone right and I want you
43:37
to practice being alone at least once a week, Set aside at least one
43:44
hour on the same day each week, and make a date with yourself,
43:47
put it on your calendar. And then I want you to expand your weekly
43:53
rhythm. Okay, your weekly rhythm of making a date with yourself to encclude
44:00
a half day or day long solo retreat once a month. It's been said
44:13
that in solitude we are silent so that we may hear focused, so that
44:19
we may craft substantial things. Indeed, solitude is the furnace of transformation.
44:37
Now, as I mentioned earlier, there are many, many practices to cultivate
44:45
sanctuary. Today we've talked about gratitude, beauty, silence, music, and
44:52
solitude. If you want to learn more about these practices and then some,
44:58
be sure to check out my book. I'm gonna give you the full title
45:00
now. It's called Sanctuary, and the subtitle is Restoring the Rhythm of Rest
45:07
and Renewal. You can go directly to Amazon to buy my beautiful book,
45:12
and I have to tell you something. You will want to buy a copy
45:15
for yourself and for your loved ones. I made it small enough that you
45:20
can fit it easily in your day pack, your briefcase, or your purse,
45:24
so you can take it with you wherever you go. All right,
45:31
I hope my words have inspired you today. And as you've heard me say
45:37
before, inspired comes from the Latin word in spirare. I love that word.
45:44
Say it with me. It's in spirare, which means to breathe into
45:49
or to breathe upon. So let this episode breathe into you and inspire you
45:59
to renewed energy, a renewed outlook, and renewed life so that you are
46:07
revived and restored. Now I want you to be sure to share the wealth
46:16
with somebody. Be sure to share your blessings at somebody else's table. That's
46:23
how you do it. That's how you make your life count. You can
46:29
be the change, the transformation that you seek. Just remember this. How
46:36
you live is how you lead. How you live is how you do everything.
46:40
You have the power to make our world a world that works for all,
46:50
a world of blessing and honor and dignity. Now, I want you
46:54
