Ready To Pull Your Hair Out?

I know the feeling… Things just aren’t lining up the way you want them to. They aren’t falling into place as you had hoped. Or maybe it’s not happening fast enough. I am sure we all experience this from time to time. So what should you do?

The first thing I do is to change my mindset. When I feel myself getting frustrated or when I start to feel the anticipation coming on, I find it is best to stop and remember that my agenda is not always the best agenda. Everything happens for a reason and the Universe has a perfect schedule in mind even if it doesn’t always feel that way to us.

Sometimes it is necessary to just stop the frustration, or the anticipation, or whatever you would describe the feeling as, and look at the bigger picture. When we try to force things to happen according to what we want and our schedules, we are missing the full picture. The Universe holds more knowledge than we can ever imagine from our own limited point of view. Sometimes we just need to surrender, let go, and know that all is as it should be. When the time is right, it will happen, and if it doesn’t than that is also right. That is not an easy thing to accept oftentimes, however when you do embrace that thought, you will experience a sense of peace.

When I change my mindset and allow in that belief that all is as it should be and that the Universe knows what is best, I immediately am able to release the tightness in my body and let go of the stress. Doing so also allows you to get in a flow with life so that you are no longer fighting an uphill battle, and instead you are flowing with the beautiful stream of life. For more information about getting in the flow, you can also sign up for one of my free teleclasses called Get In The Flow. Just go to: www.FaithsTeleclasses.com for more info.

5 Tips For Stressed-Out Moms

Being a mom certainly comes with its stresses, so this Mother’s Day, make sure you take care of you! As mothers, we often try to be “Super Moms.” We give and give and do and do, and sometimes we wonder when someone will give to or do for us. This mother’s day, continue to give and do, but this time, give to and do for yourself. Remember to nurture yourself so that you can be all that you have to be for those little ones who need you so much. Here are some tips to help manage your stress:

1) Tell yourself that motherhood is all about the journey. It is an uphill battle when you push against the natural flow of life and motherhood. Stop, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders and jaw (the 2 places where most stress is held), and just “allow.” You will then find the stress dissolving. Be in the present moment with your kids and remember that this moment is all you really have. This can help put things into perspective when you are ready to fly off the handle.

2) Ask yourself, “Would this matter if I were to die in five minutes?” That may seem
harsh, but it helps put things in perspective. Stress can be managed by controlling your thoughts, so the more you ask yourself thought-provoking questions like these, the more you will be able to see what really matters. When you are thinking in terms of what really matters, you will naturally let the stress go.

3) Focus on solutions, not problems. Did you ever notice that when you focus on the problems, you dig yourself deeper into overwhelm and frustration? On the other hand, when you focus on creating solutions, the problem will rectify itself much easier. This also sets a very good example for your kids in handling problems that come up in their lives because they will learn to not just get lost in the problem and to come up with solutions that will easily solve their problems before those problems stress them out.

4) Know your limit. Take some time beforehand to determine your breaking
point. Instead of being caught off-guard when high levels of stress hit, develop a plan to reverse that path beforehand. That way, when you feel stress coming, you can bring yourself back to center before your world crashes around you.

5) Give yourself some extra padding. You have a better foundation to live from when you are well rested and cared for and you will naturally handle stress with more ease. Make it a habit to take time to nurture and care for yourself. You can only care for those little ones when you are well-cared for yourself! This is so important!

How To Attract The Things You Want

You probably know about the law of attraction, right? And I am sure you have wondered why negative things sometimes happen to you. You probably wonder, “did I attract that?” Sometimes, it gets so frustrating trying to use the law of attraction because it can often feel like it doesn’t work. There is one main reason for that:

Thinking positive thoughts does not activate the law of attraction; feeling the way you want to feel does. In other words, you cannot just focus on thinking positively and then feel badly about a situation at the same time if you want to attract positive things to you. Our feelings have much more magnetic force than any thoughts we can ever have, so if you feel unhappy with a situation in your life, you will attract more “bad stuff” to you. This can seem daunting at times and you must be wondering how it is even possible to feel positive about something you are unhappy about. It’s not always easy, but it is very possible.

Start by checking yourself. Check your alignment with good feelings. Throughout your day, ask yourself, “How am I feeling right now?” That question actually translates into “What am I attracting at this moment?” and that is why it is so powerful to ask. By asking yourself how you are feeling, you are essentially peering into the future and seeing the feelings you will be attracting to yourself. So ask yourself that question often and then when you discover that you aren’t aligned with positive feelings, do whatever you need to do to get back in alignment.

Life is a constant realignment. Balance is a complete myth. Our lives will always teeter back and forth, and so relaigning ourselves is very important. Don’t feel badly because you are out of alignment. Just do what you need to do to get realigned as soon as possible. Do what makes you feel good. Repeat an affirmation or a mantra that will get you feeling positively again, Take a step outside. Take a deep breath.

Sometimes when we are in a “bad” mood, we don’t even want to get out of it. I know, I’ve been there. There are plenty of times when we feel miserable and we like to wallow in it. If that happens, just let yourself wallow in it, but then get the heck out of it. Don’t linger there. The longer you stay in a negative mood, the more unpleasant things you will be attracting to yourself.

The key is to always do what makes you feel good. Sure, there are plenty of times when we need to do things that we don’t want to do. In those cases, find a way to make them more enjoyable. Bring an iPod into the kitchen and sing while you are doing dishes, for example. The rest of the time, when you don’t have to be doing something, do something you enjoy. The happier you are and the more you enjoy yourself, the more wonderful things you will manifest in your life. The way you feel is the indicator, so choose your feelings wisely.

Why Control Doesn’t Work

The human race is usually so consumed with trying to gain control over our lives that what happens is that we are blocking flow. We end up controlling our lives in negative ways because we have closed off the Universal flow. We only hold within us a limited amount of knowledge, but when we open up to Universal knowledge, our lives become easier. This is because when we are working from our limited minds and trying to control our lives with these limited minds, we encounter many hardships because we don’t really know how to proceed. We then move through life having to constantly learn from our mistakes because without infinite knowledge, we will of course need to gain more knowledge in order to accomplish our goals.

When you trust, you open yourself up and you allow the Universe to lead you along the right path by letting control go. It’s not an easy thing for most of us to wrap our heads around, however, because we feel that letting go of that control will mean our lives might go spiraling out of control. The opposite is actually true however.

Here’s an example of controlling your life in negative ways. Do you know of someone in your life who has decided that happiness isn’t in the cards for them so they’ve just given up and resigned themselves to an unhappy life. Perhaps they are unhappy in their job but the thoughts of leaving it seems too scary so they just keep on enduring. Having that mindset cancels out all possibilities. How can there be possibilities when there is such an unwillingness to allow them to come into your life? They are being blocked off. You are only controlling your life in a negative way.

Or maybe you know someone who is bound and determined to accomplish something and they just keep struggling because it never seems to happen. I am by no means saying that you should not have goals and strive to achieve things that you want. Of course you should. But the biggest thing you need to do is trust. Give up the control. That person struggling to achieve something so hard may be striving so hard because she is trying to do it in one certain way and that’s the only way she sees. She is not open. She’s trying to pound a square peg into a round hole and the Universe is saying, “no wait, here’s a round one.” And she’s saying, “No thanks, I’m gonna make this one work, damn it!” You see, you must remain open. When you do, you will have gotten in the flow of life and things will come to you with ease.

When you learn to release the control so that you can allow in possibilities and transformation, you will find that new opportunities come your way and new ideas and people come into your life who can help you. All these wonderful things come to you because you’ve opened a door instead of shutting it and saying “oh well, this is my life.”

Remember, it might not work your way, but your way might not be the best way for you. Be open to other ways.

The Judgment Epidemic

How often do you judge people in your daily life? My guess is that if you really look closely, you would have to say “a lot.” Some of us don’t even realize how often we judge others or even ourselves. Almost every moment is consumed with it. We are so convinced that we are separate from everyone else and because of it, we adopt judgment as a means to make ourselves right. When someone does something differently from us, we tend to judge it as wrong because otherwise we think it makes us wrong. None of that is true however. We are not separate. We are all one. We are not wrong if someone else is right. There are many ways to accomplish one thing, and who is to say that your way is more right than someone else’s.

Judgment is one of the greatest problems in our world as far as I am concerned. And I am guilty of doing it too! It is not easy to avoid judging others and it is very difficult to not judge yourself. Our egos want us to judge because it keeps up the illusion of separateness, which is what the ego thrives on. The problem is that when you judge, you stifle growth. All we are here to do on this planet is to grow. This is an earth school. We are not here to be perfect. We are here to grow into the soul that we are. Why do we judge others and ourselves when we are not coming across as “perfect?” That only holds that person or yourself back from growing and being all that they can be.

The simplest judgment can have lasting effects on people. Don’t do it! When you find yourself judging others, tell yourself to be a bigger person and leave that person be. When you begin to judge others less, you will find that you begin to no longer fear others will judge you. And that sets you free as far as fear is concerned because when you no longer fear what others think, you will feel free to do what you want without the fear that is usually attached to it.

When “Doing” Isn’t Working

We tend to go through life doing, doing, doing. We go to work, we run errands, we host holiday parties, we do house work and yard work. We do so much that who we are ends up becoming what we do in our minds. If I were to ask you who you are, you would most likely answer that you are a mother, a husband, a sales associate, etc. But that is not who you are! That is what you do. Those are only roles that you play.

Learn to be more focused on being instead of doing. We do do, do but we forget to be. I find that even when we read self-help books and listen to motivational CD’s, we read and we listen, but we don’t really experience them for ourselves. We don’t give them time to become part of us before moving onto the next thing.

When you focus on being, you will see life from an entirely new perspective. You will view life through the eyes of your soul, not just through your personality. Suddenly, the world become a different place. You are no longer wrapped up in the illusion constructed by the egoic mind, but are instead awakened and experiencing the beauty of life. Things will flow easier for you because you will be more in touch with your true self, since being naturally draws out your soul identity instead of your ego identity.

Focus on doing tasks with more mindfulness. We can’t get away from the many things we have to do, but we can change the way we do them. Add more “being” into them and life becomes more enjoyable.

Also learn to think of yourself in terms of who you really are, not what you do. Your soul will thank you for it!

Could Balance Be A Myth?

Nowadays, people are constantly trying to balance their life. Look around you – there are articles, books, talk shows, and news stories about achieving balance constantly. Has anyone stopped to consider that balance is just not possible? That is why we call it balance in the first place. Life is a constant balancing act. Your life will tilt to one side and then sway to the other, it will teeter on top for a bit and then lean to one side or the other again.

There is no such thing as balance. Our lives are in constant motion and we constantly need to move with life. We need to stop the obsession with trying to get in perfect balance and then being upset when it feels a little off. News flash: life will always be a balancing act. All we need to do is notice when we are out of balance, or out of alignment, and just get ourselves as close to center as possible again.

We don’t have to beat ourselves up because we fell out of balance again. We don’t need to continue longing for a perfectly balanced life. It won’t happen! We don’t live in a balanced world. We live in a constantly changing and evolving world – and thank God! If we were in constant balance, there would be no room for growth. We stumble and fall so that we can grow, so we will always fall down on the balance scale and then hopefully, we will get back up, and then things will be great until we fall again.

Falls don’t have to be detrimental. Falls are just steps in our path of growth. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t worry if your life feels out of balance 99% percent of the time. Just flow with it! Notice when you are out of alignment, and do what you need to do to get as close to being in alignment as possible.

Stress Relief Is All Around You!

Do you take some time each day to “stop and smell the roses” as they say? In this hurried world we live in, we rarely take the time to look at the beauty that surrounds us. This affects us and leads to more stress in our lives. Noticing the beauty around us has a calming effect on us, therefore it is a natural stress release. When we go through our days hurrying from one activity to the next, never stopping to have those calming moments, the stress just builds up until we want to pop. So it is necessary to add in these calming moments throughout your day in order to break up the stresses. It helps to neutralize them.

All this means is that as you are walking to your car, you take notice of the gentle breeze on your face and you hear the beautiful song coming from the birds up the trees. When you are working on your computer, you stop for a brief moment and you feel the warm sun shining in through the window. When you are doing yard work, you feel the earth energy and really experience the beauty in the flowers and trees. It’s about becoming mindful as you go through your day. Don’t just do each activity without noticing all the wonder that surrounds you.

When you begin to add this mindfulness into your life, you will naturally feel calmer, as I mentioned before. You will also begin to see the oneness of everything, and you will know that everything is interconnected. We come to this earth and we forget that we are connected to everything that exists. This is because everything, and I mean everything, is made up of energy. We are made of energy. The computer you are looking at is made of energy. The rocks on the ground are made of energy, as are the flowers, trees, the food you eat, the books you read, the oven, the table, the grass, the driveway, even your thoughts, your words, your feelings, and your actions all carry an energy. I could go on and on because literally everything is made up of energy. Therefore, we are all united by that fact.

The beauty of oneness is that you are not alone. When you can really grasp this point, you will notice things flowing more easily in your life because you will begin to allow the energy of the Universe to help you through life.

This is a small sampling of one of the components in my Get In The Flow program called “Get Awareness.” If you want to learn to say good-bye to stress and flow with life, this program will help you do just that.

Can You Release Weight With The Law of Attraction?

Are you sick of diets? Have you noticed that diets don’t work? That’s because the emotions that are created by having to be on a diet are in opposition to the way you need to feel to lose weight. Think of the word diet for a minute. How does it make you feel? If you are like most people, it conjures up all kinds of negative emotions like “I’ll be deprived,” “I won’t get to eat the foods I love,” “It will be hard,” “I will be hungry,” and the list goes on. If you think about the law of attraction, and the fact that like attracts like, how could those thoughts bring anything positive to you like losing weight?

When you go on a typical diet, you usually are depriving yourself of the foods you love, and you usually feel hungry because you can’t eat as much. What happens is that we can only deprive ourselves for so long until we cave in, and then we end up binging.

But losing weight doesn’t have to be this difficult, and it doesn’t have to involve depriving yourself. You can learn to use the law of attraction to release weight in an easy and fun way! It all starts with making the decision to be healthy instead of making the decision to go on a diet. Someone who is healthy does not sit on the coach eating potato chips all might long, because that behavior is incongruent with being healthy.

Next, you use positive affirmations and thoughts that will support the changes you are trying to make. You want to conjure up feelings that are positive, instead of the negative feelings that go along with being on a diet. Remember: if you are feeling badly at any given moment, you are attracting negative things to you. The minute you feel any negative emotions, you want to do whatever you can to change that feeling.

To help you put these strategies into practice, I have designed a teleclass called Release Weight With The Law Of Attraction and it’s FREE! I want you to find an easier way to losing weight so I am holding these teleclasses every week. Go to www.FaithsTeleclasses.com to sign up and view the upcoming schedule of classes . I hope to connect with you there!
