Are You Happy with Your Life? If Not Here’s A Way to Shift it

A belief is the acceptance by the mind that something is true or real. Often it is created by an emotional or traumatic event. When we have a core belief we have a sense of certainty around it, because we know it’s true for us.

Science has been focusing on the central nervous system, the immune system and their interrelationship. Science once thought that they brain sent information one way to respond to the body’s problem. Now it is clear that the central nervous system controls the body’s defense mechanisms.  Knowing this, we can assume that every thought, emotion, ideal or belief has a neurochemical consequence.  

Research has found a chemical link between our emotions, the stress in our lives and the immune system.

We all know it’s important to express our emotions, but we don’t always do it. We shove them down, gunny sack them, avoid them, distract ourselves from feeling. When strong emotions such as fear, anger, or rage are not expressed in a healthy way. Then the body’s natural response is to produce an excess of epinephrine.  Storing these stressful emotions produce a chemical breakdown, resulting in a weakening immune system and an increase for disease.

I had to learn this the hard way. When I had cancer I wanted to know why I got it. The doctors said, “Oh it’s just something that happens.” I disagreed. I felt there was a cause. What I learned was the anger and resentment I shoved down started eating away at my body causing a disease called cancer.

This is why it is so important to clean up old emotions that are no longer serving you. Not only is it helping you, but it cleans up your ancestor’s lineage and the future lineage. Another thing I came to learn and understand is that when you die your soul leaves the body, but so does your aura. This is where all your emotions and experiences are stored. If you belief in life after death. Those emotions and experiences follow you forward.

We can safely say that our thoughts, words, emotions and the physical body are all linked together. A belief system is strong enough to send a message to the body. In turn, the physical body reacts to the emotional belief system. The key is to change the messages that are sent to the body and to do that we have to change our beliefs and emotions.

The conscious mind can program the subconscious mind for new behavior and habits. This ability is built into us, but we forget that we have it.

Belief work means changing the pattern and the behavior. It gives us the ability to change the belief that goes beyond the subconscious and into the cells of the body. I practiced feeling my anger and breathing through it, which released the stored anger at the cellular level. It took patience and practice. Today I feel calm and peaceful. All the anger and resentment has left my body.

Manifesting Your Desires

Did you know your relationship with money reflects more about your thoughts, beliefs and feelings then it does about the world of finances?

How do you think about money? What are some of your beliefs?

Wealth, prosperity and success start first in your thoughts and then it appears in your outer world. Prosperity is more than just money. It’s a way of being.

True prosperity means more than just having an abundance of money. It’s having confidence, harmonious relationship, peace of mind and happiness.

Prosperity is having health, vitality, loving relationships, joyful work that you love and ease in your life. Where you live a happy and stress free life.

If you were living the lifestyle of your dreams what would that look like? I invite you to spend some time journaling on that question after the show.

The word prosperity comes from the Latin root which literally translates as, “according to hope” or “to go forward hopefully.”

Prosperity isn’t something that you acquire. It’s an attitude towards life. It is having a certain way of thinking and living which we will cover on the many upcoming podcast. Be sure to subscribe so you will learn the latest.

 True prosperity is a shift in one’s consciousness. Simply stated its cause and effect. Prosperity is the cause within one’s mind and money is the effect of the shift within ones consciousness. When we learn to think a certain way we automatically attract prosperity.

Let me share with you how this worked in my life.

The 1st time I realized I could shift my consciousness was when I was 16 years old. I was living in San Diego and bathing suit season was just around the corner and I wanted a new bathing suit. I flipped through the latest bathing suit catalog looking for the right suit. I finally found one I loved. I ripped the page out of the catalog and taped it to me bedroom wall. The picture was the last thing I looked at as I drifted off to sleep and the first thing I saw in the morning. Finally the day arrived where I went shopping. I spent all day at the mall, but I couldn’t find a bathing suit I liked.

As I was leaving the mall I saw K-mart across the street. My intuition said, “Go to K-Mart” so I did and I found a beautiful bathing suit. When I got home I laid the bathing suit on my bed and looked at the picture hanging on the wall. It was the same identical bathing suit. I wondered, “How did I do that?” That was the beginning of my manifestation. 

If you want to manifest something special into your life than I invite you to take this action.

Action step

I’m curious, what do you want in your life? Spend some time thinking about your desires. If you were living the lifestyle of your dreams what would that look like? I invite you to spend some time journaling on that question.

Write down all your desires, make a list of them. Then rate what you wrote from 1 to 3. Ones are very important, twos are could happen and threes doesn’t matter.

After you have rated your list look at all the 1 on your list. Now you are going to rerate them from 1 to 3 again to weed out the ones that are not very important. Look at the ones you have left.

Ask yourself which is the most important that if I didn’t do it. I would feel like I wasn’t fulfilling my purpose. That’s the one you want to start working on right away. 

Leave a comment and let me know what you choose to manifest.

 

Waiting For Things To Be Just Right

Do you have a message within you that you keep working on trying to get it perfect before you get it out to the world? Are you full of great ideas and jump from one project to another never finishing anything? Either way there is something that is showing up keeping you from your vision.

There may be a voice in your head that is causing this problem and you may not even be aware of it. Do you ever think to yourself, “This isn’t going to turn out?” “No one will want to buy this”. “I tried this before and it didn’t work.” You might have different thoughts that swirl around in your head. Why are you listening to the fears?

People who are successful have learned how to understand the thoughts in their head and move past them. They don’t let themselves stop with procrastination, confusion worry or doubt.  They talk back to those thoughts and take fast action, meaning they get it done. If you are the type of person who is waiting for it to be perfect, then today let it be good enough, it is good enough to make the first pass.  You have to step out of your comfort zone and stop procrastinating. Decide today and put it out there. Then you can tweak it later.

If, you are the type of person who starts a project and never finishes this tip will help you.  Just for today work on one project to see how far you can get on it. If you are stuck, find away to get help, but keep moving.  Tomorrow look at the project and decide if you are going to finish it or not. It is about learning to discipline yourself to finishing it. It’s about building a new muscle.  I know you can do it.

Discover The Link Between Your Thoughts And Your Life

Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or work, all you have to do is change your mind.

Where your thoughts go, your energy follows and the result of those thoughts is what is appearing in your life. I believe thoughts lead us in life and your emotions are the fuel. Your thoughts are mapping the course for your life. It is like a captain of a ship. He cannot reach his destination without a chart and a compass.

The same is true with your thoughts. The style of thinking that you are thinking in this moment is pointing you in a certain direction. It could be a wonderful life that is full of gratitude with happy, loving positive thoughts or it could be a life of struggle, hardship and pain with thoughts full of anger, judgment, and resentment.  The choice is yours. What type of thoughts do you typically think? Is it happy or cranky? What type of life do you want to live?

Remember you can change your thoughts anytime you want. If you notice you are thinking negative thoughts pop into gratitude or appreciation. Find something in your life to be grateful for or start appreciating what you do have in your life. Just for today practice be grateful or appreciating and let me know how it goes.

There Are No Ordinary Moments

The other day I was in the grocery store. After spending about an hour of shopping I header to the checkout station. As I stood in the checkout line I observed a man franticly moving through the store. He seemed to be stressed or in a hurry and looked a little out of sorts, as he grabbed a soda from the cold case. Then he got in line behind me. My cart was full and he only had a soda and a bag of chips, so I asked him if he would like to go ahead of me. He was happy with that idea and moved in front of me.

I watched the checker ring him up and then grab her clear plastic Starbucks water cup with a lid and straw. She was rubbing her hands on the droplets of water left from the melted ice. She looked at me and started to tell me how her hands hurt. They were chapped and she needed lotion. I reached into my purse and pulled out a small travel size lotion and gave it to her. The man who was now paying for his soda and chips said, “Wow! You’re just full of kindness today.” “Are you trying to get brownie points for your halo?”

I just smiled back at him and thought to myself, “My halo is already full.” Then I pictured a beautiful, round, golden halo above my head. The man must have subconsciously seen my full halo glowing, because he did a double take. He kept starting at the top of my head. It was if he couldn’t take his eyes off the top of my head. I noticed the more he looked at the halo the lighter his energy got. Where his energy was once an ash color his energy was now becoming brighter. Then he started to relax and he even smiled, as a peacefulness settled over him.

The checker chirped in chatting on how appreciative she was that I gave her lotion and what a live saver I was, as she rubbed her hands together with the smooth, soft white lotion. I noticed her eyes now twinkled with delight whereas before they were dark and hollow. I also observed the woman behind me was now smiling at what transpired, instead of being impatient. It seemed that this section of the store became brighter and the people seemed happier.

The learning: When you are peaceful and calm you can observe others better. If you are able to help them, it comes from your heart with no strings attached. It’s my hope that when I help a person that they will pass it on, which will touch another life. You’ll never know how many lives you can touch by helping one person. If the gift isn’t passed along, then I lighten someone that day and helped them to remember who they really are. A spiritual being in a human body. How are you going to help someone today?

How Do You Decide? There Are Infinite Possibilities

There are infinite possibilities in little beginnings, if you have the faith, you’ve got the power to move ahead in your life. If you look at any famous actor, they started at the bottom being a dishwasher or a waiter. They did odd acting jobs here and there until they got a break. But, they still weren’t famous yet. They had to act in a few low budget films or “B” rated films until, they got that big roll that made them famous. They went through the steps on how to be a good actor. Learning what worked and what didn’t work, all the while holding onto their dream of being famous. Having faith it will all work out.

There are many roads in life and different paths you may take to create your life. These roads are like different movies playing in your life. Is your life playing the way you want it to? Is your life full of joy and happiness or is it full of struggle and sorrow? Once you realize that your thoughts are creating or blocking you from having the life you want. You can change it.

Think of your life like several movies playing all at once. There is the beautiful movie that inspires you and it is peaceful. When you are done watching the film you are empowered and you feel good about life. Another type of movie is the mediocre, ordinary, tolerable low budget “B” rated film. Then, there’s the comedy, where the charters are getting into and out of one jam after another as you laugh at all the errors they make in their life. Last, but not least there is the movie filled of tragedies. It is full of heavy heartache and every kind of drama or problem imaginable.

What type of movie is your life playing right now? Are you ready to change the film? Which movie do you want to play and experience? Your life, like the movie is chosen by the thoughts that you are thinking and you decide what you want to think.

Let’s say you want to change your film and start a new project. What’s stopping you from starting your project? What’s the thing you keep putting off?  Is it fear of failure, not knowing how to do it or maybe you’re afraid of doing it wrong or making a mistake? These things keep us from starting our projects. But, once you start your project your half done, as the beginning sometimes is the hardest to do. Look around; there are opportunities all around you. All you have to do is open your eyes to them and decide which one you want to do. Make a plan and go for it.

Life is a series of adventures and it is your reaction to what’s going on around you that makes it easy or hard. If you look at everything as a lesson to help you grow and further your progress, then the path is easier, as you know you will get through it. You now have possibility thinking, instead of thinking I can’t do this, you are thinking about ways you can do it.

Look at every hard time you have as a stepping stone to better your life which prepares you for the next step. Within the hard time there is always something that we need to know or a challenge which makes us becomes a better person. When you are going through these hard times talk to yourself with encouragement, and supportive words not put downs. Be kind to yourself. Look at it as times of development, not hard times. Don’t give up on yourself, because you’ll stay the same and not learn or grow into the person you were meant to be. Be patient with yourself and realize that you need time to develop into the great person you were meant to be. Know that you have what it takes and that you can do it!
