Worrying about what other people think is a dead end. Other people's opinions of us do not matter in the reality of life, these misconceptions are learned behaviors which can be unlearned. Consuming our daily life around the approval, thoughts and wishes of others can fill your life and self worth .  Filling your head with only doubt. I have been guilty of giving a crap way too much in my life, because I was taught to worry about what people think, it had become a way of life and seemed like there was no other way. "Oh my, what will the neighbors think....?"  Through years of working on myself using efficient tools and techniques I am finally free, well, ( I occasionally fall off the wagon, but catch myself and get right back on track!)  By changing my thoughts and destructive pattern of not loving myself enough and not listening to my gut (aka-intuition.)  Sometimes stuff looks good on paper but is really challenging when you attempt to apply it to your daily...

Do you ever listen to your self talk? I mean on a daily basis? Negative or self sabotaging thoughts become words and then they co-create your daily life. Sounds crazy? Right?  Well, I know I once thought that way too and was very skeptical and guilty of negative self talk, (not pretty, trust me).  We may have learned these destructive ways to self talk from our childhood environment or surroundings, and honestly you got to let that go, because most of our parents and guardians were doing the best they could, with what they knew how, bottom line.  If you want to move forward you must release the blame, I know it is not easy, but necessary! Now you can own your story and take back your own power. What is my power you ask?  Let me tell you, it is your natural power within to be great at anything you choose, it is the magical light inside your soul which is stronger than anything else on this planet, it is pure LOVE! When I decided to experiment with this whole posi...

When you imagine your future, do not think it will be as it is today. Use your amazing imagination and light  to create a film of all you desire in your life. When we focus on problems we give them attention and lose sight of creating attainable solutions. And the way we speak to ourselves hundreds of times a day creates a negative or positive vibration. Focusing on what is wrong, what is lacking, what is missing or anything negative will amplify that turnout. When we reboot how we look at our present reality and imagine the changes we desire we create positive vibrations which will attract more good into your life.  Focus on all that is good, all your blessings and imagine what you want to create.  Vision boards are a fun and easy way to create a visual reminder of what you desire.  Have some fun and make one today, add all the things you desire, no matter what they may be. As this may seem all too easy, it is the law of energy and will be if we follow through ...

If we spend our time only where we accomplish good for ourselves and the people we are with almost everything would change for the best.  So often we resist what we truly want to do and do things to please others.  The act of compassion does not mean compromising your needs and accepting poor or inappropriate behavior or doing things out of obligation, guilt or pressure. People choose their path, you are not obligated to be anywhere or do things that do not make you feel good. Many of us were taught to put others first, the truth is you can not give authentic love or support to anyone unless you give to yourself first.  Simple changes make big positive impact on our well being. Tips to help you value your time: 1) Set clear boundaries for how quickly you return e-mails , texts and phone calls.  2) When asked to do or go somewhere, pause, thank the person and say, " Let me get back to you."       Do Not Say Yes under pressure. 3) No ...
