Grow Your Spirit!

1. Embrace Your Talents

Recognize and further develop your intelligence and special gifts. Our talents are signifier that lead us toward our unique paths. Follow your passion and you will soon discover where you fit in this world. When we squelch innate yearnings we lose our way.

2. Tie Up Loose Ends

Unresolved issues eat away at us emotionally and mentally. Tackle troubling things that need dealt with and put them to rest. In the meanwhile, learn not to allow future problems to be ignored. Our wounds fester when they are not attended to in a timely manner. Realize that buried problems always surface eventually. Dealing with difficulties as they arise rather than hiding from them is the best route.

3. Be Responsible in Your Relationships

Turn away from the "blame game" when it comes to addressing problems in your relationships. Be honest about the things that you have said or done that harmed the relationship. Own up to your own failures. Focus on changing your defeating patterns rather than expecting changes from the other person.

4. Love Sometimes Means Saying Goodbye

Not all relationships are meant to last forever. We sometimes out grow our partners, or our partner goes off in a direction which makes us struggle to stay in step with. Sometimes, the most responsible thing you can do is to offer love and compassion to the person as you release the relationship.

5. Let Go of Useless Attachments

If a thing no longer serves a purpose in your life, it is clutter. Clutter can be a physical thing or a belief that blocks your path. Holding on to things that don't feed you will instead eat up your energy. Free your space and expand your energy by getting rid of unwanted gifts, broken or useless items, self-defeating mental images, etc.

Positive Self-Talk and the Power of the Mind!

Mind Power at Work!

Whether you are aware of it or not, the power of your mind is ALWAYS at work … but not always in your awareness.

The subconscious mind is an entirely different "creature" from the conscious mind. This is often a difficult idea to truly grasp, and yet it is precisely the reason that people unknowingly sabotage themselves, are over-stressed, or struggle to reach their goals. Often the root cause of persistent problems in health, relationships and success is a split between your conscious wants and your subconscious mind “programming.”

The power of the mind, particularly the subconscious, is always present – holding you back or propelling you forward. It is helping you or hurting you, so you may as well take hold of it.

Mind Power at Work

In your relationships, your health, your financial success and your  habits ,the power of mind influences the results you get. The good news is that the power of the mind (on all levels) can be accessed and even reprogrammed to help you reach your goals.

But it won’t happen on its own. You must recognize where your subconscious mind enjoys its "comfort zones" and how you can start to nudge it beyond that fixed level.

As an example, if you were the person above who wanted a stronger sense of comfort and relaxation in your life, it would be helpful for you to identify the limiting unconscious beliefs holding you back. Then go to work on reprogramming your subconscious mind.

The Healing Power of Play!

Loosening the grip of negative emotions through play is one of my favorite ways to shift out of misery into happiness.It’s not only fun but it’s healing as well.

 

It’s true -- love, joy, and happiness can heal what ails us, and so can facing

revealing and releasing whatever dark feelings are repressing our aliveness (and our immune system). There are many ways to do that, but for me the most fun way is to play with it, welcome it, make it bigger and more outrageous! When you crack yourself up, you crack yourself open and are more available for deep learning and healing. And, if you can laugh at something, you can be free of it.

What shadows of yours are you most ashamed to reveal? Invite them to the party, give them a party hat, exaggerate them, let it rip, and celebrate the healing power of play!
