Happy New Year's Eve - Releasing the Old and Ringing in the New



We come to the end of 2010. And as I reflect over the past year, I want to thank you my readers for your support and encouragement on this year's journey. It's been quite an enlightening year for my family and I. A year filled with many of the gems of the Spirit that deepened our spiritual walk and drew us closer and deeper to the Source of our power. 

As good as our experiences were in 2010, being thankful and humbled that your lives were touched in many ways, we cherish these experiences and now release them that we may embrace what the Spirit has to offer in the new year. 

With our new addition on the way, making it 8 children, we look forward in anticipation and excitement to the unfolding of yet a new precious life entrusted to us by the Great Universal Spirit. 

From my family to yours. I thank you and wish you success, love, joy, peace and health in abundance this new year. 

Happy 2011!

Action Thursday - Identifying and Releasing Past Hurts and Disappointments



You may not be aware of the hurts and disappointments that are keeping you back from making the progress you'd like to experience. Some of the hurts and disappointments manifest in the form of fear, anger, resentment. But now is the time for you to free your mind, free your life so you can move forward and experience more of the good life has to offer. 

Let's look at a few steps to help you along.

Identify your hurt and/or disappointments

Whether these occur in 2010 or prior to that time, get a pen and paper, find a quiet place and really look within yourself. 

Ask - What's my hurt? What am I disappointed about? Now write these down on paper. You are getting to the root of the problem.

Release your hurt and/or disappointments

Now that you've written these down, it's time to consciously release them from your life. 

Here's an exercise - consciously forgive the person or situation that caused the hurt and disappointment. Don't forget yourself. Many times we think it's the other person that we need to forgive and that may be true but often times we have a more difficult time releasing ourselves, forgiving ourselves for making mistakes. You need to look at yourself in the mirror as if it's the other person and say, "I forgive you." Come on now. Liberate yourself. 

Using your imagination, visualize the hurt and disappointment leaving your heart and body. "My body?" you ask. Yes, your body. Stop for a minute and feel the hurt, where do you feel it? Where do you feel the fear of failure or disappointment? Yes, your body feels it and these emotions hide away in your cells affecting them in a negative way, robbing them of their vitality. 

Feel the Healing Energy

One more step to go. Feel the healing energy of love flowing into the empty spaces now. Visualize yourself being healed. 

You can do this. Give yourself the gift of emancipation before 2011 rolls in. Now you have a reason to celebrate and really ring in the New Year!

Change your Life - The Past Becomes the Fabric of Tomorrow's Lifestyle - Part 2




Q & A to Change your Life 

Q. How do past hurts and disappointments influence your emotional well-being?

When you've been hurt and you've suffered disappointments it can leave a negative impact on your emotions, depending on how you process the information from your experience. You either respond to your situation from a positive standpoint - looking solely for the good that's going to come from it and gleaning the lessons you can or you can view your experience as being an awful negative experience in your life. 

The latter is how most of us see our past experiences. The problem with that is when we hold on to the negative emotion of anger, resentment, revenge, fear etc., we allow the negatives to eat away at us from the inside. These later affect us in many ways, mostly unconscious to us. Some evidence are expressed in the fear of being open to love again, fear of disappointments, fear of taking a risk or letting anybody in, hatred toward men or women, resentment toward certain situations or people etc. 

These feelings left untapped form like a cancer within us, slowly destroying the beauty that we have inside. 

Key: Release the negative emotions formed as a result of your past hurts and disappointments. Choose to love. Choose life. Choose freedom. It is a conscious decision that you have to make in order to be emotionally free and allow the healing process to take place. 

Q. How do past hurts and disappointments manifest in your reality as recreated events?

Whatever you are feeling inside of you - hatred, resentment, anger, fear etc. - all have an energy frequency which attract events to them that cause them to manifest in your reality. So the more you feed these hurts with your thoughts and your emotions, the more you're empowering them into your reality. 

You may have wondered how is it that you keep attracting the same circumstances, people and events in your life. Check with what you're feeling, thinking about and feeding over and over. 

It's time to change your life from the inside. Change the way you think. Release the past emotions, forgive and allow yourself the right of freedom. 

For tomorrow's Action Thursday, we'll look at some steps you can take to release these past hurts and let go of your disappointments of 2010 so you can start on a fresh slate for 2011.

Change your Life - The Past Becomes the Fabric of Tomorrow's Lifestyle - Part 1



Q & A to Change your Life 

Q. How does the past become the fabric of tomorrow's lifestyle?

A. By holding on to your past hurts and disappointments, you are allowing the thoughts of the past experiences to create your future lifestyle. 

In order to create a garment, the designer uses fabric as the material to create the design he/she desires. Once that garment is complete the designer may or may not like the final outcome. He or she can decide to wear the garment, feeling quite unhappy with what he is wearing or she can decide to get rid of the garment, choose a different type of fabric and recreate a different design- one that is more suited to her liking. 

Your thoughts are the materials you use to create the design of your life, your lifestyle. You can change your current situation by choosing to change the thoughts of the past for thoughts of those that will bring you a more favourable future outcome or at least change the way you look at your current situation.  

Q. How does holding on to my past hurts and disappointments create my future lifestyle?

A. As you are focused on these hurts and disappointments, as you are thinking about them and talking about them, you are engaging in the creative process. You have activated the laws of the universe - the Law of Attraction. 

Like thoughts attract like thoughts and as a result as you are constantly thinking about the past, and as you are allowing your emotions to relive the experiences, and as you are replaying the events of the past, you are in fact saying to the universe that you'd like to experience this situation all over again. 

It is not in saying that you don't want an experience that you get what you don't want. As a matter of fact by saying you don't want an experience, as you're focusing on the experience that you don't want, you are actually drawing that experience to you. 

Remember, the brain sees in pictures and when you are visualization what you don't want the universe picks up this vibration that you are giving off and brings to you want you say you don't want. 

Key: Change the "I don't want" to "I do want" and focus on what it is you DO want. Live the experience in your mind what you do want - visualize it, and then talk about it and act on it. You'll soon begin to attract more circumstances that come in harmony with what you desire to experience. 

Look out tomorrow as we look at how the past affects your emotional well-being and becomes the fabric of tomorrow's lifestyle.

Christmas Tunespiration Week - Don`t Save it All for Christmas Day

Giving a little love each day is like seeds sown in the soil of humanity. When the harvest comes in you`ll reap bountifully. Giving love on Christmas Day is good but what about the other 364 days of the year? People still need love every day of the year. We all still need encouragement, a smile, a kind word, someone to say I love you. If each of us took the responsibility to give love even in the smallest measure that love will continue to grow and expand not only in our lives, but in the lives of those around us. 

What can you change in your life to create this life of love-giving?

Christmas Tunespiration Week - My Grown Up Christmas List


Amidst all the Christmas shopping and partying, we all share one thing in common and that`s the need for love - love that`s unwavering. And as we give our gifts, meet with family and friends, let`s not forget to give the gift that will never end up in the trash or in a box somewhere collecting dust and long forgotten. Let`s give the gift of Unconditional Love. 

When we come from a place of love and see beyond the flaws of our loved ones then we will begin to create the change we desire in the world. Children need to be shown and taught love, not just in the physical expression of gift-giving but through the warm and tender embrace. Not just on Christmas day, but all year round. Then as they grow they will appreciate the gift of love, the energy that penetrates and warms their heart, the energy that`s felt on a subconscious level and influences our lives in so many ways. 

As grownups, we need to reconnect to the love within, that`s pure, so we too can love again, trust again, hope again. 

What`s on your grown up Christmas list this Christmas?

Christmas Tunespiration Week - Give Love on Christmas Day

A childhood favourite - Give Love on Christmas Day - still rings true today. We set this day aside and this time of the season to refocus on the meaning of love and express this love to those around. 

No matter what you`ve acquired in physical accumulation, could never take the place of love. Love must be shared. Love must be given away in order for it to multiply in us. Having love and keeping it to ourselves will cease to expand. 

The law of giving and receiving becomes activated when we give love and when we are also open to receive it from others. It`s a two-way street. The cycle must keep flowing. 

What way can you give love this Christmas?

Christmas Tunespiration Week - The Christmas Shoes



This is one of my favourite Christmas songs even though it makes me get all teary eyed. The message is very profound. 

For all of you who`ve lost someone dear to you. From my heart to yours, I wish you love and healing this Christmas. The best way to fast forward your own healing process is to do something special for someone who`s also hurting. This season, be there for somebody who feels hopeless, who feels the sting of loss, share unconditional love and let the energy of that love spread through the ether of our universe. That`s what Christmas is all about - LOVE - give the gift of Unconditional Love.

Getting My Body Back Friday - Expressing Gratitude to Enhance Weight Loss and Improve Health



Being grateful and expressing that gratitude can add tremendous value to one's health and well-being putting you in a positive vibration to attract more healing energy into your life. Stress and frustration deteriorates the body. So when you're in the positive vibration of gratitude you're able to draw in the flow of life energy into your body. 

We all know how awful it feels when you're not feeling well, when you're not at your peak and more so a prolonged illness can strengthen that feeling. But as you begin to shift your mindset into an attitude of gratitude, you immediately open the flow for life-giving healing energy to begin to regenerate the cells within your body. 

What about weight issues? 

When you look for the good things about your body and your life and start expressing gratitude for those things you already have, that feeling of feeling bad about your weight starts to loosen its grip on you. It's like turning on the light in a dark room. That negativity has to fall off.

What happens in that state of gratitude?

You become energized to continue on with your workout routine. You look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I may not be at my ideal weight yet but I feel good about me. I'm alive and well." What you're doing is reducing the resistance inside of you so your body receives the message of feeling good from you. 

Many of the commercials send the message that something is wrong with us when we're not at a particular weight and as we accept this into our internal programming we begin to feel that way. And so begins the struggle of wanting to lose weight now and a long journey of frustration. The sad part about that is that we find it difficult to accept ourselves and even love ourselves because we don't measure up to the 'status quo'. 

Feel good about where you are now. It does you no good to be caught up in a vortex of inferior feelings because you are not at the ideal weight. I know what this feels like. But until I came to the point to looking at myself in the mirror and appreciating my body and being thankful for my health and being a fertile woman, I could not appreciate what I already have. 

What can you start to feel thankful about today?

Action Thursday - 3 Action Steps to a Life of Gratitude


Knowing about gratitude is great. But applying the knowledge is paramount. Let's look at some action steps you can take today for your particular situation. Take out your pen and paper and do the exercise. 

Action Step #1 - What can I be grateful for today? 

You may find that you start off with just one thing and then it begins to expand. Keep going. Don't hesitate to get more paper if you run out of space. That's a very good sign. Don't sweat it though if you only have a few to start with. That's okay too.

Action Step #2 - What troublesome situation are you facing?

Look at the troublesome situation right now and ask, 

1) What's the good in this?
2) What can I be thankful for?

Action Step #3 - Be thankful all day

Focus on the one or more things that you can be thankful for all day today and continue to express your gratitude. You may say something like, "I may not have my dream car right now, but I am thankful that I can still get to my destination and remain warm in the car that I have now. All is well."

Gratitude - How to Create the Habit of Gratitude to Attract More Good

Like any other habit the habit of gratitude needs to be practiced until it becomes a permanent part of your life, until it becomes a lifestyle. We've been encouraged as children to say thank you when someone gives us something. The feeling that goes with that is one of appreciation for you the receiver but the giver also appreciates your gratitude and wants to give you more. 

Ever given something to someone who refused to say thank you? You don't feel very enthusiastic about giving anything else to that person anymore do you? As a matter of fact you may have regretted giving anything to that person in the first place. 

Think about the universe. Giving and receiving is a law of nature. Gratitude is the physical expression or outward symbol or display to the universe that you are ready and open to receive the energy of goodness as it flows through the matrix of life. Water constantly flows through the open river bed, but if the river is blocked by debris it hinders the natural flow.

Similarly, the debris of ingratitude hinders the natural flow of blessings from coming into your life. It is the law of giving and receiving at work when we release our thankfulness.

So how do we create the habit of gratitude?

1) Decision

You must first make a firm decision that gratitude/thankfulness will be a part of your life, your lifestyle. Making the decision gets your mind in gear to look for all the good things in your life, even those hidden within the hard shell of adversity.

2) Become consciously aware

Look around you. Become aware of what you already have. Look for them diligently and look for other situations to be thankful for. Okay, you woke up this morning and thought that you have nothing to be thankful for because your situation looks very bleak. What about the breath that you just took? What about the fact that you are even reading this right now. It may seem like a small thing but here you are breathing in life into your body. Here you are being encouraged to look at life from a different perspective. Start here with what you have. 

3) Appreciate the small things

Remember, every oak tree was once a tiny seed. Don't underestimate the size of small things. They hold within them the potential to grow into large things. Start with the small things in your life. "I am thankful for my food. Thank you for providing for me every day. I am alive and well." Start from there and nurture it each day with your attitude of gratitude. Soon enough you'll begin to see all your good starting to expand and grow.

4) Set time aside

To help you remember, try to set aside a scheduled time to do this. Or implement it into something that you're already doing during the day - perhaps each time you sit to eat. Make it your conscious effort. Then expand it into first thing as you open your eyes in the morning and last thing before you fall asleep. What about when you take a shower or bath? That can also be a gratitude shower or bath time. 

Think of more creative ways that you can use to make gratitude/thankfulness your daily habit. Don't forget to practice the mental shift when adverse situations come up. Shift your mind from focusing on the negative and speak your gratitude. It will lift you out of that place of hopelessness into a positive energy wave to turn your situation around.

Gratitude - A Quote on Gratitude



"Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts." Sarah Ban Breathnach

We've been so programmed to look at the good that others are enjoying wishing that we can have the same and that's okay, to a point. But the problem begins when we start to diminish the value of what we already have in our own lives. When we engage in this type of behaviour we hinder the blessings of the universe from giving us more of which we desire. 

In order to quench this thirst, acknowledge the good that already exists in your life. Be filled with thanksgiving even for the smallest thing you have, although it may not look like much when compared to others. But that's the thing it may not look like much but it is yours and the more you appreciate it, the more you'll see the greatness in the one seemingly small thing. Then you'll say, "You know what? It's not so bad after all. I have a really good life. Or, it could have been worse but it's not."

Go into your day today being thankful for everything you could think of and watch your energy level lift from a state of depression into joy.

Gratitude - Appreciate the Good You Already Have to Attract More Good



Many of us tend to look at the things we don’t have in our lives and become entangled in frustration followed by depression. These negative emotions cloud our perception from seeing the abundance we already have and the blessings that already surround us. Even in its tiniest seed form, if we looked closely, we can see the potential abundance waiting to expand and grow in our lives.

How to appreciate the good

Have an attitude of gratitude

When your mind is set in gratitude mode, you begin to see all the good that’s around you and the more good you see you activate the attractor factor to bring more good for you to appreciate. You’d have started the gratitude snowball effect. When unfavourable circumstances present themselves, shift your mind to look for the good in them. Remember, every seed adversity has the life of good hidden within its hard shell. Take the seed and sink it in the soil of gratitude. The hard outer shell of adversity will begin to loosen its grip giving way to the life of good to manifest growth within you.

Practice the Habit of Gratitude

For a plant to grow it must continue to be nourished daily. A one-time attitude of gratitude is not enough to see a life overflowing with good. Practicing the habit of gratitude will create the snowball effect of good around until it begins to overflow into all areas of your life. Become saturated in gratitude and you’ll begin to find that adverse conditions cannot keep their grip on you. Every time something raises its head, your habit of gratitude will cause it to lose its power over you as you shift into gratitude mode.

Getting My Body Back Friday – Take Control of your Mind to Achieve Your Weight and Health Goals



When you set out to get your body back to your ideal weight or achieve certain health goals, you’ve got to put your mind into it as well. Your body and mind must be in sync. If your body is doing one thing – engaged in a routine exercise program, and your mind is off thinking – I could never achieve my goal or this is so hard, you’re creating resistance within your body. You’ve got to allow body and mind to be on the same track in order to gain the results you desire to achieve.

You must first create in your mind the results you desire and believe that you can and will arrive at your goal. Then do what you can along with the inspired ideas that come to aid you to achieve your goal. You see, because your thoughts attract like thoughts to them to manifest your predominant thoughts and emotions, when you begin to think that it’s too difficult to reach your goal, you’ll start attracting thoughts which create conditions and circumstances that will help you affirm your belief that it’s too difficult for you to gain the end result you desire.

Take control of your mind and shift your thoughts to it being easy to reach your ideal weight and health goals. Shift your thoughts to receiving inspired ideas effortlessly to help you get to your goal. You’ve got to see what you’re constantly thinking, feeling and saying to yourself that’s sabotaging your progress and change the inner dialogue to change the outer results.

Here’s an action step to take this weekend. Find a quiet place to really sit down and think and feel your emotions about your weight and health progress. What is your consistent self-talk? Listen to your body as well as you’re asking yourself these questions and feel the energy your body is giving off. Now look for ways to change that energy and begin to allow your body to feel the progress you’re making towards your goal.

Remember the movie Ella Enchanted on Monday’s post? She willed herself out of her mental enchantment. You could do the same to break free from what’s hindering the release of your progress.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Action Thursday - 3 Action Steps to Change your Predominant Thoughts to Overcome Inferiority Complex



Our predominant thoughts draw the conditions and circumstances needed to manifest our desires. The old tapes that we play in our heads day after day become embedded within our subconscious mind and keep growing as we continually feed them with our thoughts and emotions. We need to change these predominant thoughts to overcome our feelings of inferiority complex.

Use the following 3 action steps

1 ) Conscious self-awareness

Being consciously aware of your predominant thoughts and emotions will put you in a better place to be able to change them. You can’t change something that you’re not aware exists. Self-awareness is the first step to changing a habit. Then you can take positive action steps to create the new habit you desire. Take the time to look within to yourself and write down your predominant thoughts and emotions.

2) What do you desire to accomplish?

Whatever it is you discover from your self-awareness assessment that are your predominant thoughts and emotions, whether they are feelings of being not good enough, other people are better than you or that you’ll never amount to anything, it’s time to focus on what you want to change. Do you want to feel like you’re good enough as anybody else? Or do you want to feel that even though others may have accomplished physical merits does not mean that they’re better than you? What’s the mindset you want to create? Write this down as well.

3) Practice the new mindset

Now that you know what you want to accomplish, this is where you begin to focus your attention on every day. Rehearse your new mindset. Spend a few minutes several times a day to think about, visualize and connect emotionally with your new mindset. See yourself being that new person. Whenever the old thoughts and emotions come back, do the mental shift and remind yourself of the new change you want to manifest in your life.

And just like any new skill, it takes time and repetition until we master it. It’s taken you many years of accepting yourself as being not good enough and feeling that other people are better than you. So it will take some time to create the new habit of accepting yourself as being equal to others and deserving of all the good that life has to offer. Be determined but be patient with yourself.

Even if you fall back or face setbacks in your mental progress, keep trying, keep practicing. Eventually, your mind will get used to the new programming and you’ll get better in controlling your thoughts and emotions.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Discover a simple step-by-step process to Overcome Inferiority Complex and finally be free to Build Self-confidence so you can life the life you deserve!

Overcome Inferiority Complex - Understand the Power of your Thoughts to Overcome Inferiority Complex and Increase Self-Confidence



Your thoughts influence your actions which in turn creates your reality. Everything flows from within outward. Therefore in order to change the effects of inferiority complex and increase self confidence in whatever area of your life that’s being affected the place to start is from within.

Every thought has a vibration and each of these vibrations connect with other vibrations putting the creative process into active mode. Through the law of growth, the thought which started out as a small seed begins to grow and over time, as you feed these thoughts, they mature and produce fruit in your life – this fruit becomes your life experiences.

Every time you allow your mind to focus on thoughts of feeling inferior to others whether it’s because of your physical appearance, your status in life, your education, your bank account balance or whatever else may affect you, stop your thoughts and emotions right in their tracks. You’re engaging in the continued creative process and you’ll continue to get the same results all the time. A vicious cycle is being recreated each time you go down this path.

As you understand how powerful your thoughts are you can decide then what you choose to accept as part of your internal programming and what you choose to discard. Those thoughts that you’ve agreed with and accepted as part of your truth continue on to blossom in your life.

The question that you have to answer is, “Do you like the fruit that your life is producing?” If you don’t like the fruit, then you need to go to the root and change your thought seeds. Like any garden, you need to nurture your thought seeds each day with your positive emotions and self talk and keep the weeds of negativity out.

Shift your mind from the weeds of shyness, inferiority and fear to thought seeds of boldness, being as good as anybody else and courage and over time you will increase into your self-confident lifestyle.

Overcome Inferiority Complex – How to Take Control of your Mind to Overcome Inferiority Complex and Build Self-Confidence



Change takes place in your mind and as you learn to take control of your mind will you be able to overcome inferiority complex and begin on the path to build self-confidence. You may have heard it said that your mind is a battle field. But the victory of this battle is also in your mind as well. And once you know how to master your mind, you’ll begin to master your life and your experiences.

Steps to take control of your mind

1) Understand the power of your thoughts

When you understand that your thoughts create your reality, you’ll find that you have a place to begin to take control of your mind by taking responsibility for your thoughts and be able to control them. Your thoughts lead to actions and actions lead to materializing your desire in your outward reality.

2) Change your predominant thoughts

Your predominant thought habits of low self worth, feelings of not good enough and fear can be replaced with thoughts of deserving, being good enough, courage and self-confidence. Defy the false voices in your head by shifting your mind onto the positive you desire to experience. Instead of listening to thoughts and ideas of feeling worthless, good-for-nothing and fear, shift your thoughts onto those of you being courageous in the face of fearful situations and on to thoughts of you being confident when you would normally feel intimidated.

3) Remember your truth

What is the truth about you? Not what others have put on you as their truth for you but your truth, the truth of who you are and life you desire to express? Believe your truth of freedom, of abundance, of worthiness, and of being able to accomplish anything you set your mind to. Fill your mind with your truth and the light of truth will dispel the darkness of falsehood bringing you to a brighter place in your life.

4) Use visualization

Our brain communicates in pictures. So the more you use your imagination to visualize yourself being bold and confident, the more you’ll develop confidence as a habit and lifestyle. Take control of your thoughts by visualizing yourself in the place you desire to be – seeing the good that you desire happening to you, beginning to approve of yourself and not waiting for or craving after the approval of others.

5) Use affirmations

Affirmations are very powerful tools to reprogram the mind when used correctly. Repetition of your affirmations of self-confidence begins the mindset reprogramming process and activates the law of growth to take place to produce the fruit of self-confidence.

Overcome Inferiority Complex – Breaking Circumstantial Enchantment to Overcome Inferiority Complex



Recently our family gathered to watch the movie Ella Enchanted. On the day of Ella’s birth, Ella’s Fairy Godmother gave her a gift – the gift of obedience. With this gift Ella had no choice but to do what she was asked to do, whether or not she wanted to and no matter how bad the deed was. Ella was still very young when her mother died. But her mother said something very profound to her before she passed on, “No matter what anyone says or tells you to do look to yourself Ella. What’s inside you is stronger than any spell.”

When Ella grew older her father remarried and Ella inherited two step sisters. One of the step sisters found out Ella’s secret and shared her discovery with the other sister. They both took advantage of Ella and made her do the worst things ever. Ella knew she had to find a way to break the spell and sets out on a journey to find her Fairy Godmother to return the gift to her.

On this journey, she met the handsome Prince Charmont. Ella was on her way to the land of the giants to find her Fairy Godmother and invited the Prince along to speak with the giants. They both fell in love with each other. Prince Charmont’s uncle wanted to become king in place of his nephew and through Ella’s wicked step sisters he discovered her secret which he used to devise a plot against Prince Charmont. The uncle demanded that Ella killed the Prince at midnight, the night of the Prince’s marriage proposal to Ella.

As Ella talked with the Prince, the clock struck midnight and Ella’s arm reached for the dagger hidden in her clothes. As the Prince embraced her, she lifted her hand to strike the dagger in the Prince’s back. Ella struggled with the command given her by the evil uncle and her own will to defy the order to kill her true love.

Ella took control of her mind, defied the false voices in her head, remembered the truth her mother told her, took control of her thoughts and demanded of herself, “You will no longer be obedient. You will no longer be obedient.” She forced on her will to break her Fairy Godmother’s spell. Ella dropped the dagger and fell to her knees realizing she had been freed.

Many of us accept situations in our lives because we think that we’re unable to break free of them or others told us that’s the way things are and they can’t be changed and we believed them. Our belief of being inferior to others, low self worth, poverty and inadequacy inhibit us from breaking free to live the life we were meant to and deserve to live. But when we make a focused determined decision, like Ella, to break out of our enchantment of inferiority complex, we can truly enjoy living in the ‘palace’ of our dreams.

You don’t have to stay where you are living in the illusion of ‘not being good enough’ because of your status, lack of education or any perceived shortcomings. You can break free in your mind. You can rise up and speak to your situation, speak to your mind, empower yourself from within, overcome inferiority complex and build self confidence.

As Ella’s mother said to her, “What’s inside of you is stronger than any spell.” You have a great heritage of power within you and as you embrace that connection to your power Source, become one with it and see it as your own you can live in the freedom that belongs to you. It’s time to defy the false voices of the past and willingly listen to the voice of truth.

Ella declared her affirmation for freedom with deep conviction. How about you? Here are a few you can start with, “I am free. I live a life of abundance. I am a treasure to the earth. I deserve to be here and I deserve to be happy. It is my birthright to live the life I choose to live.”

You don’t have to stay a victim of your circumstantial enchantment. Break free today.

Getting My Body Back Friday – Experience the Presence of Unconditional Love to Improve your Health and Weight Loss




Where no love exists only leaves a place dry and lifeless. Unconditional Love empowers us from within and lights our way. But in its absence, we lose the vitality of life and darkness creeps in and occupies a once well lit area of our lives.

How does lack of love affect our health and our weight?

Unconditional Love is the life force within us and where ever this life becomes blocked by the darkness of negativity we experience poor health and weight issues. Lack of love may not necessarily come from other people but may be experienced by our own personal dislike for ourselves.

Experiencing Unconditional Love

When we allow the power of Unconditional Love to flow through us, we are allowing the freshness of life to revitalize our inner being which in turn affects the cells in our bodies to operate at a level of wholeness. As we draw life from the Presence of Unconditional Love, it makes it easier to love ourselves; we become changed in the presence of love’s embrace. We begin to value who we are and this starts the renewal and healing process within.

Take the time today and let your inner being become drenched in the power of Unconditional Love so you can experience all of what love has to offer and be completely whole in spirit, mind and body.

Action Thursday – How to Release Blockages to Experience Unconditional Love




Like a river that’s blocked by debris is unable to flow freely and becomes polluted by garbage, so too, negativity blocks the free flow of Unconditional Love from moving through your inner being. In order for you to experience Unconditional Love in its fullness you must remove these internal inhibitors of anger, resentment, hatred, grief, hurt, shame and all other negativity.

How to release the internal blockages

Become consciously aware

Your awareness to what’s going on inside of you allows you to consciously release the negativity and allow new thought seeds to be planted within your mind. Taking the time to look within to what your body is feeling will give you a good indicator of what negative energy resides within you.

Listen closely within

If you’re having difficulty identifying your internal blockages, ask the Spirit for guidance and listen closely for the answer. As you fine tune your listening skills you’ll find that the answers come clearer to you and you’ll develop your own way of receiving instructions and directions.

Consciously release your inhibitors

Now that you know what’s causing your blockages from you connecting to and experiencing Unconditional Love, begin the release process. Consciously release the inhibitors and visualize them leaving your body and flowing downstream. Visualize and feel this space, where negativity once resides, being filled with the Presence of Unconditional Love. Feel the freedom and enjoy love’s warm embrace.

Unconditional Love – Journey to the Center of your Inner Being and Experience Unconditional Love




Many of us spend our days living in our heads. Thinking about the past, thinking about the future, being occupied in the present with the task at hand. But time is hardly ever spent in the inner sanctuary of the inner being in the Presence of Unconditional Love. We are faced with many daily distractions and unless we consciously take the time to connect within, we become totally disconnected from the Source of our strength and of our life.

This comes as a result of not knowing how to connect to the power Source and as a result there remains a gaping hole within our inner being longing to be filled. But filled by what, filled by whom?

Let’s use these simple steps to take a journey to the center of your inner being and draw from the Omnipotence of the Great Universal Spirit.

Look within to the center of your inner being

You’d need to set some time aside where you would not be disturbed so you really focus all of your attention to what you desire to accomplish. As you get into your quiet place, relax your body by inhaling and exhaling. Turn your attention to the center of your inner being. Look within to that void inside of you.

Become Conscious of the Presence of Unconditional Love

As you become conscious of the Presence of Unconditional Love, set your intention to be filled within. Allow the void you feel inside you become filled with the warmth of love, with the presence of love. Feel the feelings of love moving within your inner being. This is not something that you rush you because you have another appointment to go to. Make sure you clear your schedule so you give this time your undivided attention to get the best out it.

Make this a part of your daily practice

Do this every day and several times during the day. You can set aside once in the morning, before bedtime and sometime during the day for best results. You eat several times a day right? Why would you not feed your soul several times as well? Do this often and you’ll find that your power within begins to grow, you become stronger each day and you’re able to soar higher over difficulties. What troubled you before, you’ll find that you’ll be able to walk on and not let it bother you.

Become more conscious of the Presence of Unconditional Love residing within your inner being and your oneness with love as you go about your day. Come from this deep place as you go through your daily experiences and be filled with wisdom and direction in all you do.

Unconditional Love - How to Experience Unconditional Love and Live on a Higher Plane




When you experience true love it changes your outlook on life. You begin to see others through the eyes of love knowing that we are a part of something greater, a part of the whole. Unconditional love transforms you from the inside out and takes you to a higher plane of living. It cleanses you so you can experience more joy and peace.

Here are some steps to follow to experience the power of Unconditional Love starting today.

Desire

As with everything in life you must first have the desire to experience Unconditional Love. Once you’ve established that in your mind it creates the first step towards opening the door to the inner sanctuary of love within you.

Set aside time in the silence

Love is best experienced in quietness. Set aside time in silence to release all your inhibitions, all the negativity that inhibits true love from growing inside you. And as you sit in quietness allow the rays of the warmth to shine over your inner being.

Feel the feelings of love

Go to new levels of ecstasy, feel the feelings of Unconditional love, feel the warmth. Follow the guidance of the Spirit as you listen within, look within and feel within. Each day as you do this, you’ll find that you’ll begin to feel calmer, more at peace with yourself and with others and more contented.

Surrender to love

Surrender here means to yield to love’s embrace, to allow the flow of inner beauty to move through you. It is in the process of surrendering that you are open to receive all that the Spirit has to offer. Resistance hinders the free flow of love like debris blocks the free flow of water.

Journey to center of your inner being

Feel the large void within your soul. Look within and consciously connect with the Great Universal Spirit of Love and allow your inner void to be flooded with love. Journey to center of your inner being and consciously feel all of you being completely filled until you’re satisfied.

You originate out of love and this is the only place you’ll feel completely satisfied and at home. Ever wondered why you feel so incomplete even though you may have everything? The operative word is thing. Unconditional love need not depend on things to satisfy. As a matter of fact, even if you have nothing, you can go into the inner sanctuary and feel completely satisfied, safe and fulfilled.

Unconditional Love - Answer the Call to Return to Love to Enrich your Life from Within




We’ve come from a place of Unconditional Love. And even though we have this rich heritage many have strayed away hoping to find comfort in our dazzling outer reality which leaves us feeling disconnected from the Source of our power.

What is this power Source and what is Unconditional Love? They are one and the same. Love is powerful and power resides in the Omnipotent presence of the Great Universal Spirit. From the Divine Spirit each of us were created and fashioned out of love.

Unconditional Love shows no favouritism. You are loved regardless of your status, upbringing, experiences, merits, or whatever you may think that you need to ‘shape up’ in order to measure up to become accepted.

Love calls to us to return home; to return to the inner sanctuary of our inner being where we experience peace of mind and shelter from all that ails us. Only when we return home will we begin to experience the enriching power that comes from within and can truly express to others that true power.

To continue to press onward craving after the external things leaves us only wanting more and not being satisfied. It’s like having a thirst for water but only trying to satisfy this thirst with fruit juice, pop, tea or any other drink. The result? Only temporary relief, but sooner or later the thirst rises again and you’re back to square one. But drinking water quenches your thirst, leaving you satisfied, refreshed and rejuvenated.

Similarly, when you return to the Life-sustaining water of life and drink from within, allowing the inner being to be drenched from within, what’s the result? A satisfied you, a happier you, a completely enriched life and those external things you desire come to you as well.

Will you answer the call, return home and be filled with the power of Unconditional Love once again?

Getting My Body Back Friday - Connect with the Giant within to Overcome Weight and Health Issues




Experiencing prolonged health and weight issues can make you feel like the grasshopper going up against a giant. But keeping this perspective only feeds this belief and causes the giant to seem bigger than it really is. It’s time to connect with the true giant, the giant within.

Identify the truth

Truth is, you are whole, you are healthy and the giant within you exists in this truth. As you decide to agree with this truth you give your giant within the permission to express this truth through your life. Are you going to agree with what your eyes tell you or are you going to believe the truth of who you really are. You may ask, “How can I ignore what I see before my eyes each and every day? Isn’t that the truth?”

Let me ask you this “Is it true that the sun moves? It rises in the east and sets in the west each and every day.” Truth is, the sun is not moving, the earth is. Even though your eyes tell you that the sun is moving you know better and ignore what your eyes say and believe the truth.

Your true image is one of perfection and wholeness. That’s the truth. The manifestation of sickness and weight issues are the results of negative thinking and unresolved emotional issues. When we remove the blockages and allow the free flow of positive energy, we’re able to reconnect with the truth that’s within us. As we shift our minds from what our eyes are telling us to accept the truth and come into agreement with it, the giant within awakens and our lives begin to change from within.

Speak the truth

Speak the truth of who you are so that the energy of your words vibrates within and throughout your life. Words are powerful and the vibration of them connects with other vibrations that cause you to manifest your desires. Silence the voice of the grasshopper mindset and let the giant within speak out loud of the truth of your reality.

Act your truth

What can you do to act in accordance with your truth? What can you do differently? What inspired ideas come to you? When you agree with the giant of your truth, you’ll begin to act from that truth.

Thanksgiving Thursday – How to Awaken the Giant within You




Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. friends. Have a blessed holiday. Be thankful for the giant within.

The giant within waits for your summon for help. It will not awaken unless you allow it. If you choose to hold on the ‘grasshopper mindset’ you will not be able to experience the greatness of your giant. The ‘grasshopper mindset’ and the ‘giant mindset’ cannot both exist in the same space. One will dominate the other. While one is awaken the other sleeps. It’s your choice to turn on the light of the giant within so the darkness of the ‘grasshopper mindset’ will dissipate.

What situation are you dealing with right now?

Zoom in on your current situation. Get a pen and paper and write it down. You are now engaged in the process of dealing with your circumstance head on. You’re not trying to change by situation by ‘cutting down the tree’. You’re going to the root, internally, and uprooting the old ‘grasshopper mindset’ (small thinking) so you can begin to replace it with the new.

Become consciously aware of the giant within you

Begin to see yourself as being greater than your problems. There is a solution.
See yourself as having a clear mind and having the solution to the way out or through this situation.
See yourself as being connected to the Universal ‘Soil’ of the Spirit where all life dwells and through which all wisdom comes to you to sustain your greatness.
See yourself as the great oak tree being sustained by the Universal Soil of the Spirit as the roots of your inner being reach down into the spiritual realm and draws out the nutrients you need to sustain your life in this situation and all other issues you face.

Answer your situation with the voice of the giant within

As you shift your perspective, answer your situation with the words of the voice of the giant within. You can say, “I am greater than this situation. I have a solution. My answer is on the way, I am at peace knowing all is well and all is working out perfectly on my behalf. I am victorious.”

Act with the confidence of the giant within

Follow the inspired idea and move forward in confidence knowing that you are not alone. You have the power of the Universal Source with you and in you. Know that you will succeed and that you have already. Go forward in that confidence

Overcome Inferiority Complex – 4 Keys to Shift your Perspective from Grasshopper to Giant




A grasshopper’s size is really tiny in comparison to a giant. If you look at yourself with this same perspective in the face of your adversity, you limit and deny yourself of being able to overcome whatever situation you may be going through right now. If you see yourself as being limited and helpless, your belief creates your reality. Yes, you’ll find that you’ll not want to look for a solution because you think that you can’t find a way out of your situation.

Your thinking pattern is keeping you hostage to a life of mediocrity. Now’s the time to rise up into freedom and break free out of your mental bondage.

Understand where change begins

You must first understand where change begins in order to create a different lifestyle. If you’re looking for your situation to change before you do then you’re in for some disappointments. Change begins within you and as you realize this change starts with the way you’re thinking then you’ve found yourself on the right track. Your thoughts are the seeds that create the fruit of your reality.

Understand what your outer reality is

Your outer reality is the manifestation of your thoughts, the fruit of your thought seeds. Once the seeds have been sown, the stage is already set. You can’t have cucumbers from tomato seeds. Therefore, to change the reality you’ve got to go to the root, uproot them and replace them with new thought seeds. Stop trying to cut down the apple tree and expect oranges to grow instead.

Determine who you want to become

When you determine who you want to be, you can make a shift in your perspective. For example, if you see your current situation as being overwhelming, determine who you want to become in this situation. I want to be strong, I want to be bold. Then shift your perspective from being fearful of the situation. The interesting thing about this mindset is that you begin to feel the strength and confidence in your body. Many times we don’t get the results of strength because we buy into the lie of being helpless and weak and therefore we accept that as our reality. From this mindset how can you win?

Reverse the players

Instead of seeing your situation as the giant and you the grasshopper, see yourself as the giant and your situation as the grasshopper. See yourself as ruling over the circumstance and resolving your issue. See yourself as confident and strong and your situation under your control. See yourself as being victorious and that you already have a way out. When you adopt this mindset you are activating creative energies of change within you and out in your reality.

Remember the ball is in your court – this is your life and you must play the game according to your expectations. Refuse to see your situation as the winning team and start seeing yourself victorious every time. Speak to yourself about being strong. Your positive self-talk will embed the new change within you as you nurture this mindset every day.

Overcome Inferiority Complex - How to Identify the Grasshopper Mindset vs. the Giant Mindset




No one wants to be identified as being small-minded or feeling like a grasshopper when compared to giant-like adversity. But it’s that mindset which keeps us bound to our situation that we need to release ourselves from when we begin to change how we look at our current situation.

Who’s the giant in this situation? That’s the question we need to ask and by asking it we can change the way we think. But first of all in order to change the way we think we need to identify the grasshopper mindset as well as the giant mindset in order make the switch in our own minds.

What’s the grasshopper mindset?

When you face a situation and you become gripped with fear to the point of not being able to see a way out or even have hope that there’s even a way out, you’ve settled for the grasshopper mindset. You’ve settled to be defeated, gave up trying and perhaps ran away in fear.

Let’s see a live example. You may have the dream of being a singer. But when you think about the going up on stage and facing the crowd you succumb to the fear. You begin to think, “How can I go out to that crowd. I’m not good enough.” Even though that may not be the truth, you’ve decided to give up on your dream and allow the giant of fear to cause you to run away.

What’s the giant mindset?

The giant mindset causes you to see a situation that could be overwhelming or impossible and know that there has to be a way out. The giant mindset says, “It can be done. I will find a way no matter how long it takes. I will be victorious in this. I will have it.”

Let’s use the example from above. The giant mindset says, “No matter how much I may be shaking in my boots, I’ll find a way to go onto that stage and give my best performance. I can do this.” Then despite the crowd, the giant mindset takes a few deep breaths, straighten up and walk out in confidence facing the fear and still press forward knowing that all will be well, I am greater than this fear.

Now look at your situation and determine this, “Do you have the grasshopper mindset or the giant mindset? How can you shift to the giant mindset in this situation? How can you look at yourself through a positive perspective? How can you become the giant?

Whatever mindset you choose, know that one will bring victory and the other will keep you bound.

Here’s your chance to break free from self-sabotaging limited thinking patterns and beliefs and rise up to a new beginning. You don’t have to continue living a dissatisfied life.

Overcome Inferiority Complex – Are you a grasshopper or a giant?




The way you see yourself, your perspective of who you are, plays a vital part in the way you act and the experiences you have in all areas of your life. If you have a low perspective of yourself or a low self-image no matter what situation, you’ll find yourself being unsuccessful in whatever you attempt to do.

So I ask you the question, “Are you a grasshopper or a giant?” If whatever situation you encounter you see yourself as being small among the giants, then you’re already beaten even before you attempt to step forward.
 
You see, your victory or your defeat is in your mind. And if in your mind you’re already convinced that you’ve lost at the game of life – no matter what the label is, business, career, weight loss, friendship, relationship etc. – you are right, you’ve already lost.

Your thoughts determine your reality and the outcome of what you hope to materialize. So if your thoughts and emotions are transmitting ‘grasshopper feelings’ (feeling small), then you will attract back to you that reality. You first have to BE a giant in order to LIVE as a giant. In other words, you first have to be a giant inside of you, see yourself as a giant for that giant like life to manifest outwardly.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about towering over others in order to take advantage of them. I’m talking about being successful, bold and victorious in all areas of your life. I’m talking about being triumphant in the face of adversity and not cowering under because you feel small, because you feel inferior, because you feel like a grasshopper when you come against a ‘mountain’.

You are more than your current situation. And as you begin to see the giant within you and allow that giant to rise up from within, you’ll begin to gain victory after victory over your fears, over your insecurities, over your so-called inadequacies. You’ll begin to see the power that lies in you which will manifest in your outer experience as you set free the giant within as you release all of your inner inhibitions.

Every time you face a situation and those grasshopper like feelings come knocking at your door, let the giant of confidence open and say, “No vacancy here.” Then move forward toward your goal, knowing that all is well.

Here’s your chance to break free from self-sabotaging limited thinking patterns and beliefs and rise up to a new beginning. You don’t have to continue living a dissatisfied life.

Getting My Body Back Friday - Using Visions Boards To Reprogram Your Mind For Better Health



Your internal programming controls your outward experience. So whether it's your weight or other areas of your health, you need to return to your subconscious mind to reprogram it to yield to you its power to reap the benefits of physical well-being. 

For the most part, our physical ailments are the results of negative emotional issues harboured within our bodies. These unreleased negative emotions become blockages within our bodies affecting us in the form of physical illness and/or increased weight issues. 

So then, how do we use vision boards to help us reprogram our minds to better our health?

Before we get into using vision boards, let's first deal with the emotional issues affecting us. We first need to set time aside where we can do an internal detoxification program. We know about physical detoxification to help us lose weight, but what about an emotional detoxification program to release the emotional toxins of anger, resentment, guilt, grief, pain etc?

We need to first take the time and consciously examine ourselves and begin to release these negative blockages so they can free us from within in order for the body to do what it naturally does to ensure optimum health. 

Now let's get into the usage of vision boards.

You'd want to collect images of the ideal image you'd like to attain if it is you desire to lose weight or you can get one that shows a person that's healthy and enjoying their life. This image you'd put in a prominent place so the image can be imprinted into your consciousness, which will in turn send it into your subconscious mind where, if nurtured, will continue to grow from within you until it's finally expressed in your physical reality. 

The work must first begin within where you are being changed inwardly as you begin to see yourself embracing and living the life of your desired image from your vision board. Your vision board image becomes your life style and experience. 

The combination of releasing negative emotions, your emotional detoxification program, with your vision board visualization both work together to produce the effects you desire to externalize as you begin to change from the inside out.
