How often have you said, I’m sick and tired of…? Frequently people say to me… I feel sick and tired every day and it is difficult to stay positive when I am physically ill. What can I do? Many of you may not like this answer, but then I’m not out for a popularity contest here. It seems that from what I have learned that the more we focus on what is wrong with us, the more what is wrong with us affects us. It’s a vicious cycle that can only be stopped, by changing our focus. I recently read …CONTINUE READING HERE: Are You Sick & Tired?

I’m not really sure when I stopped worrying, but it was at a fairly young age. I believe I was 19 or 20 years old, when I came to the realization, that all of the worrying that I was doing, wasn’t going to change whatever the outcome was going to be. I remember at the time, I was married, and I was constantly worried if my husband was 10 minutes late. I’d start wondering if he had been in an accident, and I would conjure up all of these things in my head, all of he bad things that might …CONTINUE READING HERE: Is Worrying Eating Away at You? At the end of our lives, what really matters? Give yourself the gift of watching this thoughtful talk by Dr. B.J. Miller, a palliative care physician, who asks some real tough and thought provoking questions. When it comes to feeding my mind I like giving it the best possible food I can. Now in this context I’m talking about the information I feed my mind. I’m so fussy about what goes into my brain, I rarely ever read the news or know what is going on in the world. I find that most of what we hear in the news or on TV tends to be focused on the bad things that happen in the world and violence. I have friends who call me and update me, when they feel there is something going on …CONTINUE READING HERE: Are Your Affirmations Getting You the Results You Want? Are your affirmations working for you? Most people who do affirmations regularly, don’t actually get the results that they are wanting and for many they give up. I remember a time in my life that affirmations didn’t work for me. I studied the power of the mind and the power of positive thinking. I created positive affirmations. I said my affirmations at least once per day, while looking into the mirror, because that is what I had learned was supposed to work. Yes, I saw minor changes happen in my life, but the effect certainly wasn’t what I was anticipating, …CONTINUE READING HERE: Affirmations Not Working for YOU? It’s easy for us to hold grudges, stay angry with others, blame others for things that they did and stick to what we believe happened during an event in the past, knowing that “I Am Right”. Sound familiar? Well, today I want to talk about the biggest reason it is important for us to forgive every person we are holding grudges against, who we are angry with, who we blame and more. You see it may seem easy to not forgive, because we “Know we are Right”! But when we finally realize at a very deep level that those things …CONTINUE READING HERE: Forgiveness… A Path to Peace How do you define happiness? Are you happy occasionally, all of the time, or somewhere in between? Here are my thoughts and some suggested ways to be happy all of the time (well at least most of the time :-)))! According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, happiness is defined as: a state of well-being and contentment: joy a pleasurable or satisfying experience It has been my experience that most people define happiness using the second definition above and that for the most part, they are not happy. In the US and Western culture in general, we have come to define …CONTINUE READING HERE: Finding Happiness At the first of every year many people set goals. In most cases they set goals for what they want to achieve in the next 12 months. They then jump in feet first and go for all of them at once. Within a week or two most people have stopped all of their activities toward those goals and are right back where they started last year and the year before and the year before… You know what I mean. According to statistics 45% of people make New Years resolutions while only 8% are successful at achieving them. Here are a …CONTINUE READING HERE: Achieving Your Goals In my opinion there is no right, there is no wrong, there is only the perspective of each and everyone of us… Over the years, I have changed my mind about things that I felt strongly were “Right” and somethings that I felt were totally “Wrong”. I’ve found that all of my beliefs are based on how I was brought up and what I was taught. Our beliefs are based on what our parents, teachers, and society teaches. For a while I didn’t question those beliefs, but there were a few things that put me on this quest of wondering …CONTINUE READING HERE: Right, Wrong or Perspective |
