“We must shift our allegiances from fear to curiosity, from attachment to letting go, from control to trust, and from entitlement to humility.”

– Angeles Arrien

Imagine if we all did this, how the world would be different …

Lets commit to shifting our allegiances by checking in with ourselves today and every day:

From being fearful to getting curious

From being attached to letting go

From controlling to trusting

From feeling entitled to being grateful and humble

This is mindful living.

Namaste

  4. Good thoughts, Val.

    Being curious instead of fearful had something to do wth why we didn’t run out of the building into the pouring rain when the fire alarm sounded . . .

    Instead of trying to control the situation, we trusted that our collective intuition would encourage us to move in plenty of time if we were really in harm’s way . . .

    Instead of being attached to the stories swirling in our head about what the alarm “might” mean, we let go of our prejudgements and stayed in the present moment . . .

    And when it proved to be a false alarm, we were grateful that we were warm and safe and dry . . .

โ— About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
