Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.

When The World Seems To Crash On You
What do you do? When, at the end of the day, the world just seems to be crashing down on you? Your breathing becomes rigid, perhaps your fingers go numb, and you just want to scream or maybe cry?
Are You Aware Of Confirmation Bias?
Did you know that in every moment you actually have the power within yourself to choose what you want to think about? In previous posts I’ve written a lot about how important it is to, yes, CHOOSE your thoughts.
Did you also know that you and the person next to you, on average, have 50,000 – 70,000 thoughts per day? And furthermore, did you know that 95% (some even say 98%) of those thoughts are the same exact thoughts you had yesterday?!?!?
I don’t know about you but when I first heard this fact it was astounding to me. And when I heard it the second time around it made me stop everything I was doing and truly take it in.
Something changed within me when I decided to pause and truly think about this.
How To Hear Your Inner Voice
“I’ve developed more awareness of myself… I can hear the deeper part of me speaking what’s really true. I hear the truth if I listen closely.”
“That’s wonderful. Where do you feel it coming from?”
“Mostly here.” (Hands motioning pointed toward chest and stomach) “Yea… here.”

Friday Focus – 1/13/17
The theme for me this week has been consistency. In a major way.
Friday Focus – 1/6/17
The new year is here already and it’s crazy to me how fast the holidays just flew by this year. The holiday lights are coming down in the neighborhood and I can feel the city settling into it’s new groove.
Over and over again this week I keep coming back to the theme of owning your own happiness.
For example, as if it were a test, yesterday I was speaking to a customer service agent and I was taken aback (almost speechless) by the cut offs, short answers, and overall tone of this person. Despite all this I decided not to wallow in anger and reminded myself that we all own our own happiness.
Sure, something not so pleasant happened. It was an event. But does it mean you have to stay angry? Continue reading “Friday Focus – 1/6/17”
Does Money Buy Happiness?
With money you can buy a house, but not a home.
With money you can buy a clock, but not time.
With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.
With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.
With money you can buy a doctor, but not good health.
With money you can buy a position, but not respect.
With money you can buy blood, but not life.
With money you can buy sex, but not love.

A beautiful, jarring reality check of what’s most important in life:
Friday Focus – 11/18/16
As we go into the weekend I though it would be a nice reminder to bring full circle a recurring theme or thought that has been coming up whether through inquiries or observation. After all, Fridays are a bit more relaxed and we tend to lose focus as we go into the weekend with social commitments and errands to run 🙂
This week’s focus is: What your thoughts focus on, EXPANDS.
We talked about Momentum last week and how when we keep the momentum of any thought going it becomes harder and harder to step back from the identification of the story and to stop the feeling(s) that is now contained within the body. It begins to feel real doesn’t it?
Every time you become aware of a certain thought be cognizant of what emotion this thought is bringing. Is it bringing you anxiety? stress? worry? fear? anger? resentment? Remember, these types of emotions are low on the vibrational scale and equally as important, remember the more you think these thoughts the harder it becomes to unravel yourself from the story.
Momentum
Each day we have the opportunity to start anew.
The moment you wake up to take your first – full – deep – breath just remember your slate is clean. Your mind is a vast, expansive, open canvas. This canvas is bright, immaculate, and has no edges.
Begin your prayer. Meditate. Be full of gratitude for another waking day. Honor yourself to the highest. Understand your mind and body are a temple where only the highest of thoughts should live.
Abraham Hicks speaks of momentum. The moment you have a lower vibrational thought, and the moment you keep feeding this thought is the beginning of momentum. Once this begins it gets harder and harder to get back to higher frequency.
And vice versa! Upon waking linger on the clean slate. Linger on the GRATITUDE. Linger on feeling the positive emotions and thoughts. Keep this momentum going.
So, I’m curious… what are some positive thoughts and/or emotions you focus on to keep the momentum going? 🙂
