Do you want to live your life running around the vicious circle of impatience? You know that old saying “Rome was not built in a day.” At times our lack of patience will cause us to give up something important in our lives because we want what we want RIGHT NOW! We want to accomplish something but are not willing to go through the long process involved in reaching our goals. What to do?
When you are in a rush to reach a goal, remember that once you reach that goal, there will most likely be another goal that you will want to reach. You will become impatient about the next goal and so on and so on. Do you want to live your life running around the vicious circle of impatience?
Many of us ruin the quality of our lives by fretting all the time about how well we are doing, or how much we have done. We could be so much happier if we set goals, YES great goals: but at the same time created realistic plans for reaching our goals. What ever happened to spending an afternoon by the river, without an iphone in hand? Whatever happened to having a cup of tea on the porch and relaxing? Many of us do not remember those days or perhaps have never experienced those days.
Let us step our of the vicious circle of impatience and into the vibrations of joy that we can be blessed with each day, if we work hard and enjoy our work. Let us develop deeper energies of patience within and feel the bliss that is part of each one of us, if we will only realize how happy we can be.

Bad Mood Remedies April 6, 2010

We all have bad moods, and there is nothing to be gained by pushing down our upset feelings. But there is also nothing to be gained by allowing a bad mood to create a bad day today, and perhaps tomorrow and the next day. So what to do? How about setting a time limit on a bad mood? We set time limits on other activities in our life don’t we? I propose a time limit on bad moods, as a bad mood can be SO intense, it can take over the day, and many days to come, if we do not set some limits.
But how? It is easy to set a time limit on how much television to watch or how many hours to spend on the computer. It is easy to create time to do good things for ourselves such as exercise and cooking healthy meals. But how can we create time limits for bad moods? First of all we do not know when a bad mood with show up and whap us into a state of mind where it is hard to think rationally. It is hard to take positive actions when we are feeling so negative. So what to do?
WE need a plan. We need a plan that resembles an emergency plan: a plan that you learn and practice so that if an emergency occurs and it is difficult to think straight, you just follow the emergency plan. What we need is a emergency plan. THAT is IT!
HOW TO LIMIT A BAD MOOD: Here is a suggestion. I would also ask you to comment with your own suggestions so that we can all learn from each other.
When I am in a bad mood, I need to take a step back and view my behavior as if I were another person. As I do this I become the observer of myself and this helps me to understand that whatever is bothering me has bothered many others and is simply part of life. When I wrote Consult Your Inner Psychic, many messages from Spirit came through that helped me alot. I would like to share a message about the Observer with you.
Excerpt from Consult Your Inner Psychic
” I am taking myself much too seriously. When I am with those I love, I find that I am easily frustrated and get agitated easily. Sometimes I express this agitation, and sometimes I let it bubble inside, making those around me extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, I have lost the ability to practice detachment. I have lost the ability to observe myself without emotion. Instead I am reacting quickly and with great passion to every little thing that happens in my daily life. I feel that I am prone to quick decisions, sudden anger, frequent tears, and confusion.
In this moment, I need to step back from so much emotional involvement in my life and move toward cultivating the role of the Observer in my life. Right now I need to call that part of myself which is the “witness” and ask that this part of me play a greater role in my everyday life.”
I hope you will find that message as helpful as I have.
How about a 15 to 30 minute time limit on a bad mood, and then it is time to do something to make ourselves happy? Sometimes just gazing at a beautiful flower can bring happiness.
How do YOU cope with bad moods? Please share with our readers by making a comment.

Grief and Happiness March 21, 2010

Acceptance is the key to coping with grief. There are some things that we cannot change, such as the passing of a loved one, or the failure of an important relationship. In the normal course of life on earth, all that can be counted on is change. It is difficult, it is tearful and there is never a good reason to push our feelings under the rug and pretend that all is happiness and bliss. There is also never a good reason to become victims of our grief. It is possible for any one of us to experience deep feelings of sadness, and then an hour later have a wonderful time. We do not need to stay stuck on our grief and in fact I often advise my clients who are experiencing deep sorrow, to take “grief breaks.” Take a walk, watch a funny movie, dance around the room or clean out that closet you have been meaning to clean out for months (or years?).
When speaking to a client last night she wanted to know when all these bad things were going to stop happening, and I said that everything that was happening to her were normal things that happen to us all, and in fact, these things would never stop happening. People would continue to become ill and pass on, there would continue to be occasional problems at work, but that did not mean that she could not have a wonderful and positive life if she wanted to.
Our “problems” do not have to ruin our lives unless we let them. Each one of us can choose to have a positive attitude. While coping with feelings of grief we can still have a positive attitude. We cannot allow ourselves to become victims because we have challenges.
Life is a mixed bag as we all know. When there are opportunities for happy moments, grab them. Happiness is there for you, just as grief is. It is all a matter of balance.

Each One of Us Can Choose March 19, 2010

It is heartbreaking when we want to help people who are clearly making decisions to destroy their lives through drinking, taking drugs and doing harm to others and themselves. It is also hard to help people who have other serious problems with their health, work or family life, but refuse to do anything to try to improve their situations. If we are compassionate and sensitive friends, we may spend alot of time and emotional energy trying to help our friends, only to find out that they do not want our help. They are choosing to live as they do.
There comes a point when we have to “Let Go and Let God.” We cannot control the lives of other people.
It is amazing how different people are from each other. For instance, as we get to know people with serious physical disabilities, one uses the experience as an incredible opportunity to learn how to live with a disability and help others. While another person with a similar disability, feels sorry for themselves for the rest of their lives: making their own lives and the lives of their loved ones very unhappy.
Each one of us can choose.
Many of us would consider that we have grown up in difficult homes, and yet some of us have very successful lives while others go off the deep end because of an unhappy childhood.
Each one of us can choose.
What do you choose? What do I choose? Each one of us has the power of choice.

As we meet life’s challenges, it is the energy of the Warrior Within that we can call on.
Excerpt from Consult Your Inner Psychic:
As we grow up, there comes a time when we begin to fight many of our own battles. For some of us, this time comes all too soon when we are the children of parents who are not able to protect us. Some of us have parents who are able to monitor with wisdom how much protection we need and who also have the ability to know when we need to start fighting our own battles. Ideally, all of us grow up and become independent and fight our own battles.
Those of us who want to hang on to the protection of others choose friends or mates who protect us. Or we choose ways of living in which we give up our authority and let others make our decisions and protect us.
The fullest life that is lived with the deepest integrity is that life in which the Warrior is able to live out its missions and destinies. The Warrior will not always choose the easiest route, but the path chosen will be the path of integrity.
When you need to survive difficult situations, it is the Warrior Within that needs to be called into action. When you are experiencing loss and it seems that life will never again be worthwhile, it is the Warrior who needs to spring into action, bringing you the energy of survival.
The Warrior takes steady steps, always alert as to what the next action needs to be. The Warrior does not throw its fists around, out of control. The Warrior knows instinctively what to do. The Warrior is the martial artist using the energy at hand perfectly and with great precision.
End of excerpt.
When I feel that life is getting me down, I call on the Warrior Energy and I feel empowered once again. Try it, you’ll like it!

Are you racing around inside a maze that you cannot find your way out of? Where are you going? And when you get there, will you be happy?
So many of us try to do too much and have too much. We are so busy trying to get someplace and trying to become something, that we do not enjoy our lives.
We do not realize how important it is to live each day until we become terminally ill or lose a loved one. It often takes tragedy to bring us to our senses. Let’s not wait until tragedy strikes. Let’s learn now! Today, yes this very day, let’s start making our lives simple so that we can actually enjoy ourselves.

Our Own Eyes December 21, 2009

Can we take a deep look? The last month of the year is always an opportunity to look both backwards and forewards. What kind of a year are we ending, and what kind of a year do we want to help materialize as we begin the new year?
Does it not become all too easy to blame every one and everything for anything that went wrong? It is just amazing how much trouble the global “THEY” causes.
Although it is very difficult for many of us, including myself, to take an honest look into our own eyes, when we are able to do so we are on the path of empowerment. When we can see what we have created, both positive and negative, we are in a position to move forward with an understanding of where we have been. This leads to a much greater understanding of where we want to go AND how to get there. AS we can see our mistakes of the past, there is greater chance that we will not repeat them. And when we acknowledge in ourselves, our best talents, we can move forward into the new year ready to use these talents again and again to achieve our goals.
Let us each get ourselves a hand mirror and look into it often.

I am having a wonderful experience working with a book that I channeled from the world of spirit. It is equally satisfying to work with students as they read this book. Following is an excerpt:
“I believe in you
You know what you need
While others can be helpful and you need their guidance, it is your body, mind and spirit that ultimately know what you need.
Trust yourself
Cultivate a deep friendship with your inner wisdom
Know that you have a Higher Self that is part of All Divine Wisdom”

I do not believe the world is going to end anytime soon, but I do think we have some world issues that need our full attention. This is a time when we need to look at our personal energy as if it were money in the bank and ask ourselves “what is the best use of my energy?”
Many of us who see ourselves as people who walk the spiritual path have soft hearts for those with problems, and we do more than our fair share as we try to help our friends through difficulties. Many of us have also come to the point where we realize that it is a waste of energy to help some people because they are not willing to do their part: they are not willing to make choices to better their lives.
Especially during this time on the earth, it is more important than ever to evaluate how we spend our valuable energy. With world communications as they are, we are now AWARE of how many starving people there are in the world. We are now AWARE of the problems in our ecological system. So I ask myself and I ask you to ask yourself: “What is a better use of my energy: to try to keep helping people who are not willing to help themselves, or to spend my time on social projects that help communities who are truly in need?” “What is a better use of my time: to help a friend who never learns or to help a child with his homework?” “What is a better use of my time: to argue with people who are not willing to face the ways they are abusing themselves, or to work a few extra hours each week and donate the money to a community that has next to nothing?” You and I only have so much personal energy. How are we going to spend this energy?
There comes a point where we cannot help people who are not willing to help themselves. Of course there are exceptions as there are people who are absolutely not capable of helping themselves. But in this instance we are discussing those who CAN help themselves but do not choose to do so.
It becomes a waste of our valuable life energy to continue to spend energy on those who do not receive any benefit from continual attempts to be helpful.
I ask myself again “How am I going to spend my personal energy?” I ask you :How are you going to spend yours?”

Look as far as you can to find the larger view
When you feel trapped and caught in a corner
Find the larger view
When your perspective is as narrow as a solid line
Find the larger view
Gaze far beyond your own nose and find a whole world, a whole universe of knowledge
