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.

One thing that we all get caught up in is in the “how.” How are we going to accomplish that goal? How can we possibly change our situation, which feels so hopeless?

I would like to challenge you to release the “how.” When you are worried
about the “how,” changing your life will be difficult and overwhelming. Keep your focus on the “why.” Why do you want what you want?

By keeping your focus on the “why,” you tap into the positive energies and you will feel uplifted and excited. You don’t have to know how it will all play out. Just focus on why you want your goal and how you will feel when you achieve it. Then, be open and allow the Universe to bring to you what you need to transform your life.

It will happen when you let the “how” go and consciously be aware of new insights, “coincidences” and opportunities that present themselves to you. As you do that, you will know intuitively how to proceed and you won’t be crippled with fear. That is how you stay in the flow so that you can transform your life with ease and joy, and it will be so fun to see how the journey unfolds.

There is so much buzz nowadays about the law of attraction, but I know that most people still struggle to use this law to create positive results in their lives.The reason for this is because the law of attraction isn’t enough. What most people don’t know about is the law of resonance, and that is where the real power is.

The law of resonance is all about how you feel. You cannot think positive thoughts, and then still feel like you have lack if you want to manifest. You must feel like you have what you want now! What you feel is what you will manifest more of. If you want to manifest more money but you feel like you are broke, it’ll be very difficult, if not impossible, to manifest more money.

And that is what most of us do. We have a longing for things to be different in our lives, and while that is good because it pushes us to strive for more, it also hinders us. The longing is the problem. The key is to remove the longing by focusing on the present moment and feel in the now as though you have what you want.

Begin to vision the outcome you want to achieve, but it can’t be an empty vision where you just see yourself getting it. It must be rich with feeling. Make it as vivid as possible. Get your 5 senses fully involved. What do you see in your vision? Enhance what you see by adding vivid colors and textures. What do you hear in your vision? What can you smell or taste. And what do you feel emotionally. What do you feel in your body?

Create the vision as if you are experiencing it now and really FEEL it in every possible way. Then replay that vision as often as possible and keep that feeling first and foremost in your mind.

Stop focusing on how happy you will be WHEN you achieve it. Feel that happiness now! That is how you bring it into being.

With the New Year approaching, you might be thinking about what you would like to change about your life this year. Maybe you have decided to set some New Year’s resolutions or maybe you decided to scratch that idea this year because you are just too sick of making those resolutions and never seeing them happen. Well in either case, here is an outline you can use to help you make these changes stick so that you can have the best year ever!

1) Reflect on the year 2007 and make some notes about what you did well and what you would like to change. By noting what you did well, you will be able to use that as fuel to help you achieve what you want to change. Think about how you accomplished those things so well. What special skills do you have that made it possible? What pushed you to make it happen? Use all of that power to create the same results with the new changes you want to make.

2) Now that you have made a list of the things you would like to change, reflect upon what you wrote and ask yourself whether you REALLY want it or not. Ask yourself what you hope to feel or experience in your life. What is the essence you would like your life to encapsulate? Then, look back at the possible changes you wrote down and ask yourself if those changes really fit in with your essence. Is that goal in line with the REAL things you want in life? If it is, are you willing to do the work to make that change happen? If you aren’t, then the chances of you achieving it are slim.

3) If you answered yes and you feel passionate about making that change, then you need to commit to envisioning it everyday. When you think about the essence of what that goal will give you, how do you feel? Create a vision in your mind of you accomplishing your goal. How does it feel, look, sound, taste, smell? Get your senses involved so that it becomes more and more real to you. The more you play that vision in your head, the more real it will feel to you and the easier it will be to achieve.

To learn more about these steps and to discover the additional 5 steps in this process, you can download my free report titled “7 Strategies to Change Your Life This Year” at www.changeyourlifethisyear.com. It is my gift to you for the New Year. I hope you will use it to realize your dreams and finally change your life for the better in 2008!

If you are like me, I am sure there are days when you just can’t get yourself motivated. This often happens to me when I am feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or just “not in the mood” to do what I need to do. Here are some tips I use to get myself motivated. Maybe they will help you as well.

1) If a feeling of overwhelm is what is causing the paralysis, the best thing you can do it have a dumping session. Sit down and write a list of everything you need to get done, everything that is currently floating around in your head causing you to not act on any of it. Make your list in sections: personal tasks could be one category, like sending your mother a birthday card. You might have a marketing section if you are a business owner, and so on. Put as much on the list as you can think of. The idea is to remove it from your head so that the paper can remember it all for you. It also helps to see it all on paper in one place. What you can do after your list is complete is highlight what you plan on accomplishing today, this week, next week, etc. You can use a different color highlighter for each time frame. What you have now accomplished is you have dumped all of this from your mind - you should feel lighter. You have also come up with an organized plan of when you will accomplish each task, so you should feel less overwhelmed and able to move forward.

2) If you are feeling fatigued and/or not in the mood to do what you need to do, try this: commit to doing the task for 10 minutes. Anyone can live through 10 minutes of something they don’t want to do. What happens when I do this is I often end up continuing with the task for much longer than 10 minutes. I get involved and realize that it’s not so bad. I have noticed that if I push through the fatigue, I often get that second wind, whereas if I sit around lethargically, I usually feel even more tired.

What can you do if none of this works? Well, it might be that you just need a break and that you should allow yourself some self care time. Give yourself a time limit dependent on how overworked you are and how much of a break you deserve. If you decide that an hour is adequate, then take an hour, and do something you enjoy without regret. Doing so without regret is the key here. If you assess the situation and decide you need the time to recharge, then decide to give yourself that time joyfully. Then, once the hour is up, commit to getting back to work. By then, you will most likely feel recharged and ready to move forward.
