REMIX Your Life!


In the world of music the term “remix” is an alternative version of a recorded song.  An artist makes a version of a track by changing the context of sections, reharmonizing melodies and adding elements.  There is no restraint to how this “new sound” takes place and the results are electrifying.
Remixing is also a description for alterations made to other forms of media (film and literature) and is showing up everywhere creative artists take something original and add one or two different angles and create something completely new and unique.  A recent magazine article offered ideas for recipes where an old favorite has a single ingredient added or changed and the result is an entirely new taste experience.
Our world continues to evolve as old ideas are released and new and innovative solutions arise.  We are taking a synergistic approach to business solutions, art, music, fashion and so much more resulting in results and products unlike anything that has come before. The world around us is being remixed.
It’s pretty exciting when you think about.  Something from your past is familiar and treasured.  Today you can take this thought, belief, idea or object and add something new or something abstract and create a totally new look.  Within this new creation you still have the familiarity of the original or the reminder of a time that is special and treasured. In addition you have a new energy around it; color, design or shift in personal views offering a remixed version.
Let’s take this to a deeper level.  Perhaps something in your life needs to be remixed.  You have a way of doing things that in the past served you well.  But for some reason, today, it isn’t working the same way.  Maybe it’s just an outdated behavior.  All you have to do is look at the things that really work for you.  Focus on the positive energy and let the rest go.
An example would be to recognize that you are co-creating your life exactly the way you want it.  You can select your relationships, your partner, your living space and your career – all of it.  Decide what you want in life and what you don’t want.  Choose the trusting, loving relationships and let go of the demanding, uncomfortable ones.  Decide exactly what you want in a partnership and start by being the person that mirrors your desires.
Begin your day with a fresh outlook and seek out new ideas.  Consider how you like to spend your time.  What type of people do you prefer to be around?  What activities do you enjoy?  If money were not object, what would you be doing today, career-wise?
Now, focus on the positive and simply start making selections.   The tone and tempo of your life can definitely be more upbeat.  Maybe there is an area where you need to turn up the volume, or tone it down.  Perhaps there is a constant beat that feeds your inner creativity - - you may want to keep playing that!  You can add a different outlook or just mix in a few new ideas into the process.  It is never something that happens overnight, but the changes you choose to make will incorporate more excitement, more happiness, love and abundance in your life.
Just use the musician’s idea of “sampling”.  Find the example for the life you want to build.  Observe or research someone who already is living the life you want.  Who is your role model or your most positive influence?  Take a sample by duplicating or mimicking the behaviors that best fit you.  Now add your own unique personality, character, creativity and key values.  You have just remixed yourself!
And the most exciting part of this idea - - there are no limits to what you can create and what you can do!  You have opened up to embracing your unlimited potential!  And you can do it over and over again with amazing results each time.  Just continue to import new ideas and strategies for your life.  Release what no longer serves you and embrace the new by making it your own.
This week will open many doors and opportunities for you to add to the mix of life as you continue on your journey by creating your own unique greatness!  And when you feel complete, just hit ‘PLAY’.
