Affirmation:

By using some of the techniques described in my earlier posts for stress management.  Using affirmations to help change your focus of a stressful situation while using breathing techniques.  Stressful situations or experience in our life have shown to cause physical symptoms in our bodies such as fatigue, lack of energy, mood swings.  We also may take some of that stress that will then be displaced in our body such as headaches, muscle pain and sleep disturbances.  Try using some positive affirmations in your life to help with managing the stress in your life.  By reducing or removing the stress in your life you will start to notice the increase in your energy and you will be able to handle any challenge that comes your way. What do you have to lose and what will you gain?  Only you will know by trying!

The only thing in life that holds most people back is their fear and self-doubt.  They allow their ego to run their life and make their decisions for them.  We must learn that we all have an inner spirit to help guide us, only if we are willing to listen.  Letting these negative emotions/thoughts rule our life will bring great frustrations in our life.  If we are able to look past the veil of negativity we will see that there is a better life for all of us to live.  Holding onto the voiced opinion of others and their expectations on us will only leave a negative imprint onto our spirit.  It will keep us in a place of detainments.  We must all come to the realization that we are the ones in control of our lives, how we feel, act and react to situations.  By overcoming these difficulties we will only make ourselves stronger as we grow spiritually.  You will become more passionate and determined to have the life you desire.

It begins when you make that one positive change or thought.  You will discover that there is a beauty beyond any description when you give yourself to spirit.  You will then stand strong in your beliefs that you deserve to have the life you’ve always wanted.  You will believe without a doubt that there is a powerful force that cannot be broken.  It will take you to a place that will protect you and carry you forward in life to the path you are meant to be on.   It is one step further into learning who you really are in this life.  Sometime it is difficult to change how we view life, unless we experience an event that challenges our view.  To understand what it is like to truly live the life we want, we first have to understand that we can have everything we want.

Throughout life, many situations will cause fear, but fear isn’t always bad! It can actually play an important role in your life.  It can either motivate you to achieve your goals or hold you back in a place that has you unable to move forward.  It could be the fear of the unknown outcome of your goal or situation.  It could also be fear of what others might perceive of you or the choices that you are making in your life. There are two ways that you can decide what to do when fear comes up in your life.

1. You can  choose to look at this head on with a positive outlook or
2. You can  be held back chained in your fear.

At some point you will have to decide what is going to be best for you and what can you live within your life.  The more time you spend on worrying about the situation, being judged by someone or something in your life is time wasted.  It could be time spent on achieving that goal to overcome your fear.  You could take what may seem as a risk and push through that fear that is holding you back.  You never know what is waiting behind that door and it may surprise you by being very rewarding.  It may even have you rethink why you were so worried in the first place. Your fear is usually based on a personal experience or something someone has once said to you. Try using positive affirmations to help you move past your fear or journal the pros and cons of what causing your fear. An example of a positive affirmation would be: “I am successful in everything that I do.” or “I am an amazing person and I deserve all that is good in life.”

This is just one step towards achieving your aspirations in life.  What is the worst thing that could happen if you try to overcome this fear?  Will the end result be rewarding and worth it in the end?  Only you can decide and only you can make that first step to overcome your fear.

To go with the last post:

Each morning you wake up try keeping an open mind about your situation and start each morning you wake by saying I believe.  I believe that things can be better in my life. I believe that I can have all that is good in my life.  I believe that I deserve all that is good in life. I believe that I can have and will achieve all of my desires. Try by finishing this sentence that is related in your life:  I Believe __________________________________.

Trust me by saying that if you change the way you look at things, the things that you look at begin to change.  Anything is possible when you believe.  What do you have to lose?

Change doesn’t happen overnight but it also won’t happen if you don’t take the first steps towards making a change.  What do you desire right now in your life that isn’t making you happy?  Is it causing you stress every time that you think about it because you are not sure how to fix this issue?

My favourite author quote is by Dr Wayne Dyer: “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at begin to change.”  Can you look are your current issue or situation that is causing you stress and look at it from another perspective?  Take a deep breath and step back for a moment.  Now what do you see and what is one thing you can do right now to make this experience more tolerable?

Any change that you make in your life takes persistence to commit to this change in order to see that desired outcome.  Believe that change is possible in your life and that it will get better.  Trust that everything in your life has a way of working itself out if you have a positive mind frame to make that change.  It takes commitment and a desire to want that something in your life to better and beautiful.  To make you feel light on your feet and  happy as you carry yourself forward in life.  You would be very surprised at how resilient you can be no matter what you have faced or is facing right now in your life. Change can be a beautiful experience; why not give it a try you might be surprised at the outcome.  Just find what motivates you in order to take that positive first step.

You have a beautiful spirit and deserve to have everything you want in this life.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend with family & friends. It was an amazing weekend with beautiful weather to enjoy outside. We spent the weekend searching for new and interesting places to explore with our children. We like to go on nature hunts and walks to see what new things we will find to learn about. We found 2 new things this past weekend and then searched them on the internet to learn more about it. We found what is called a ribbon snake and a woolly bear caterpillar that will eventually turn into an Isabella Tiger Moth. It is a great way to spend time with the family, educational, get exercise and it doesn’t cost anything to go exploring. Google the area that you live in andlearn about new interesting ways to explore your city. You never you what you will learn or see in your city. Maybe something you didn’t know your city had
to offer.

Have a great week!

Communication is the key to having a successful relationship, only when you want it to work.  We tend to sabbotage our relationships unconsciously by reverting to techniques that work and have worked in the past.  We tend to not listen when we are in this state of being deaf.  This is the state of pretending to listen, but truly we are only listening to our inside voice.  The voice that is right and agrees with us and doesn’t tell us the real truth.

The key to any successful relationship since the beginning of time is communication.  Listening and understanding what the other person is saying.  Hearing the words that are coming out of the persons mouth, without any editing.  Feel the emotion from the person talking to you and finally, understand the words before making a response to defending yourself.

When we don’t listen and hear other people, that is when we become truly deaf.  There is no such thing as a perfect relationship.  We tend to think, believe and feel that we are perfect and will often react to those people that challenge our perfection.

Before speaking, we first have to understand what it is that we want to say.  Sometimes, you only get one chance at having an audience.

One of the many challenges that parents face while raising their children is getting them to not only eat but eat healthy meals.  It is not an easy task but what I have learned is that your child will not be “little” forever. Yes, some battles are not worth fighting over when a child is resisting your reasoning on a topic.  However, eating is something that should be a battle worth examining.  We want to ensure that our children grow up happy and healthy.  So we must teach them why we need to eat our meals and why it is important to make healthy choices.  This will be something that they will carry with them into their teens and adulthood.

The struggles that we face now while they are young are minor compared to the challenges that they will face as teenagers.  What example are we setting if we allow our children to win their protests over the food they eat.  Some of the reasons have to do with taste buds but others have to do with their peers, siblings and maybe other relative’s comments or reactions to new foods.  Look at some situations that you face right now with your child and how to you react to those situations when it becomes frustrating.

What do you think your children are learning and will carry with them as they get older regarding the subject of food?

One of the things that we learn through stress management is that time and stress are always closely related. We are always juggling so many things at once whether it is our careers, family, relationships and financial responsibilities. One of the most important things that we need to do to help reduce stress is to start surrounding ourselves with positive influences and try to recognize/reduce situations and avoid people that are unsupportive.  We need to examine our environment and see what areas we need to change for our physical and emotional health.

Here are a few ways that can help you to reduce the stress in your life:

• Relaxation Techniques
• Meditation
• Exercise – Gym, walking, outdoor activities
• Deep breathing techniques
• Writing in a journal
• Massage/Reiki
• Positive Communication

One of the most important things that will help you reduce stress is to start doing things that you love.  Make a list of the things that you enjoy, love and that make you smile.  You may start to realize that the things that you love might not cost as much as you think.  For example instead of registering for a gym membership you can start walking around the neighbourhood, hiking or biking on a nature trail or city paths.  There are even websites that will list fun inexpensive activities for singles or families. One of my favourite quotes is by an author named Dr Wayne Dyer: “When you change the way you look at things; the things you look at begin to change.

The stresses that you are facing right now in your life; what can you do right now to make some changes.  It all starts with a positive attitude and fresh outlook on life.

It all begins with you – are you ready to make that change?
