Power

Let's Talk POWER...

Power, its one of our most priceless personal assets, but we tend to give it away, and in some cases, throw it away to any person or situation that upsets us. We feel powerful and strong when things are going our way, its easy to do that. But the measure of True POWER is standing strong in the moment of adversity. Great people did not achieve greatness by throwing the towel in, by throwing themselves a pity party, by giving there power up to difficulties. NO! They stood tall and pushed through no matter what! They had that.....”Nothing and no one is going to stop me attitude!” I believe weakness is nothing more then a habit we picked up and learned. The good news about that is, habits can be broken. Being comfortable with your own power can be achieved! It takes practice. When you catch yourself feeling weak, stop, recognize it and be willing to change it. All it takes is a decision! Decide to know and hold on to your power.

I had a cat named Talula. She was old and feeble (but not really). She knew her power. When my daughters mastiff, Scarlet, would visit. This huge mountain of a dog would quiver at the sight of the small simple cat. I use to laugh and say, “that dog does not know her power, but that cat sure does.” I can't help but believe we are the same way in life. A small situation arises in our life and hisses at us and we quiver in the presence of it because we perceive it to be much stronger, bigger and more powerful then us. But in truth, we are so much more powerful then anything that confronts us. We just need to hold on to that power, through thick and thin. Power is like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger you will get. Faith and trust in your self are the barbells to help develop this muscle. So don't let anything stand in the way of your happiness and peace! Know your Power!

Letting Go

Let's Talk Letting Go.....

I was sitting on my swing one morning before work and I was enjoying the beautiful autumn colors and the beautiful warm sun on my face. I heard rustling from the trees and looked to see what was making a the noise. The gentle breeze was tossing the leaves back and forth and they were floating to the ground. It was so loud, it got my attention. I've experienced fall many times before, but this time was different. It was as if the trees and leaves were trying to tell me something..... Let Go..... Release.... Just Let Go of what doesn't serve you any more. Because if the leaves stayed on the trees, the weight of the snow and the winter wind could break branches and weaken the tree itself. That could also go for people. If we don't let go our our disappointments, fears, regrets, sorrows, grief of the past, we take it to our future, and that can weigh us down and weaken us. Like the trees, we need to release and let go, so we can move forward with ease into the spring of new birth and growth. A great Letting Go technique is EFT Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping). There are many free videos on YouTube by Brad Yates for EFT. So if your feeling weak, your carrying to much past around. Just Let Go!

Support

Let's Talk Support....

Many people say to each other, “I will support you, no matter what the decision is that you make”. Sometimes it is said, because they can be there for you 100% and be with you through it all. And sometimes it is said because they just want to be liked and really have no care in the out come. They want to tell you what you want to hear.

Then there are people who can't say it at all. Don't take this personally. Because maybe, just maybe, it's not about you, it's about them. Just because you are strong and ready to make a life changing decision, doesn't mean everyone else is ready to handle it. Every decision you make, affects those around you. They know what they can handle and what they can approve of in their life. Maybe they are traveling a different path then you all together. Or, maybe they perceive a different out come for you and they don't want to be apart of it.

I personally think some people get a bad rap for being labeled “not supportive”. Maybe they are having a hard time supporting themselves and they just can't take on any more. It is great and wonderful to be supported in all your decisions and that you have strong people around you. However, if you don't, it's ok. “I can't support you or your decision” IS NOT “I don't love you”. It sometimes means.. “ I love you so much, I don't want you hurt, because I can't handle that.”

Solutions and Problems

Pixabay - Larisa-K

Solution - something that is used or done to deal with and end a problem : something that solves a problem. (Merriam-Webster)

Problem - something that is difficult to deal with : something that is a source of trouble, worry, etc : a feeling of not liking or wanting to do something. (Merriam-Webster)

I want you to look at your life as you read this and ask yourself how many problems you have going on right now that need fixing. What do you have happening in your life right now that requires some kind of solution. For example, maybe the problem is that your floor is dirty and the solution is that you need to vacuum or mop.

Some of us are in the process of reprogramming our minds to be more positive. However, if we didn't have these negative feelings and emotions coming over us on a daily basis, then we wouldn't need to program ourselves to think on a more positive level, it would just be that and in turn nothing negative would surround us. Problems would not exist!

Problems only exist because we create them for ourselves. We do not need to have a solution unless we have a problem that needs solving. The real challenge here is creating a problem-free life for yourself. And with that, you need to stop creating solutions ahead of time. Sometimes we let our mind run wild and think well if this happens then I'll just do this to fix it, that seems easy enough! BUT, by doing this, by creating our solution in advance we are asking and putting out energy that is saying "I need a problem to match this solution!" or "I have a solution so where is the problem, I'm ready for it! I prepared myself!".

Instead of doing that. Instead of creating a solution WAY too early or creating the problem at all, know and accept that in this moment of now all is well and taken care of. Everything has it's place and you accept that to be true. When we reach the point of living in our highest potential, our true selves, all will be well. We will not have to worry about anything other than living in the moment and seeing all the beauty in everything. What will exist is our positive energy and that energy will be so magnificent that our desires will come to us faster than we have ever seen because nothing is holding us back. We are no longer holding ourselves back.

All of this goes back to having a negative belief system, negative paradigms. Maybe we are scared or in fear or doubt that something we want won't happen. This creates the problem that requires a solution. So continue to reprogram your mind to be more positive; looking for blessings and the great fortunes that already exist in your life. When your thoughts are positive and healthy, you will feel better. You will begin your path towards your true self, a place where all is well.

Experiment #4 - Are you being specific?!

Ready to hear my results from the last experiment?! First, let me share that I had to skip over one of the experiments because I did not have the proper materials to go through with it 100%. I do plan to go back to do it at some point, but for now I moved on to the next experiment.

You might have heard when it comes to the Law of Attraction, we must be specific to what we want. We cannot just say I want enough money to get me by. The reason for this is because the Universe as well as our subconscious minds do not know that when you say 'enough' you might mean one million dollars. But, you might be feeling or sending vibrations out there that could send the message that 'enough' to you means one thousand dollars due to fear, doubt, or maybe even resistance that you have associated with money. So you see the problem here?

Whenever you are creating what you want to be as specific as possible. Have as many details written down as possible! If you want to create a pet dog for yourself, write down and focus on the details of what you want - what breed, what color, boy or girl, etc.

The clearer the image is of what you want, the easier it will be to visualize it and bring it into it's physical form! That is what this experiment is all about, being specific!

I had 48 hours to create something specific. I chose to bring into my life purple flowers. I was only specific with the color, but wanted to see how it would go because I was having a hard time picking something to test this experiment on.

My Results:
I feel as though I had better results with the other two experiments that I've completed. My husband and I were using his computer for something and at the end he closed out of his browser and there were the purple flowers! They were on his desktop background. I may not have created them to have in my hands physically but I did bring them into my world in some way! If I had tried a little bit harder on this experiment, I truly believe that I could have created it physically, but now I know for future creations to spend more time on bringing it to me in a more physical form!

What are you creating in your life? Are you being specific to it's description? We would like to hear! Please share with us. (:

Resistance

Let's Talk Resistance..

What is resistance? I have heard so many times over and over, that no one else is stopping your good from coming to you, you are doing it yourself. Ok, so how am I doing that? For sure there must be an unseen force out there stopping me, because I sure wouldn't do it my self. Well, as it turns out, both are true. Another name for this force and resistance is EGO. And most of us, although unaware of it, have given way to much control and power to our ego. And how did we do that? By giving into it so much. Why do we give into it? Because it uses our stored up memories and beliefs from our sub conscious to validate its reasoning.

For instance, when we decide that we want to try something new to better our lives, Resistance steps in.

How? In the form of Excuses! I don't have time for that...I don't have enough money to do that.. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake..I tried but then things started to go wrong so I quit..I tried once before and it didn't work...I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Even if all is well, we can create problems so that we have excuses to stay in our comfort zone.

Now, we don't want to fight the ego. After all, it believes it is trying to save us from pain and heartache. So, all we need to do is make peace with it. How? By just recognizing, resistance/ego/excuses, when it shows up. And gently say to yourself."It's ok, I'll be ok, I can do this. Thank you for helping, I know you mean well, but I can handle this." Then start to take steps in the direction you want to go. Make a decision, and take the first step to learn how to dance, learn to play the piano, clean out that closet, to start eating healthy, to start being positive. There are many free videos on YouTube to just about learn anything. Once we lessen the ego's power, it will stop giving us so much grief and will allow us to be open and receptive to our desires. You can do this, it may take a little effort, but you are worth it!

Massage Therapy!

Photo Cred - giuseppeblu (Pixabay) 

Let's talk Massage Therapy! This is a little different from some our of 'normal' posts about the Law of Attraction. However, I find it is important that we do things that relax us and bring us into a calm state of being. Many of us use meditation or tapping to do this for ourselves, but we can also use massage therapy to benefit our happiness too!

If you find that you are stressed out at times, then you may have pain in certain areas of your body. Trigger points are areas of muscle that are tight that can cause pain in a different location. So, by massaging these trigger points, we may reduce some stress and tension and feel a little bit better throughout our day!

Everyone handles stress differently, but I think it is one of the main causes of knots and tension in our muscles. There was a time when I never used to have tension in my muscles. However, when I started to stress about 'life happening' that changed. Sometimes I feel like there isn't a muscle in my body that doesn't have tension! BUT, we are all about the positive here so that is why I recommend massage therapy to help you because it helps me!

Some of the benefits of massages include relieving tension, reduce anxiety and depression, improves sleep patterns, improves mood by releasing serotonin and dopamine. These are just a few, but there are SO many more out there. It is surprising what the feeling of touch can do for us on an emotional and spiritual level!

Now, I understand not all of us have someone there that will be offering to give us a massage every day! One massage a week could help your state of happiness tremendously by helping relieve the stress from the week. If you don't have a significant other, then take some time and look up a local spa who offers massage treatments. You are worth the time and money spent to feel good and be happy!
