Be Like A Parachute

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.Chuang Tzu

we own our opinions

And we like to think that we’re right. Therein lies the main problem in relationships and therefore in life! Examine how married you are to your opinions.

flow with change

Everything changes, so why not accept that and stay flexible so that you can flow with the river of life? Let’s stay open to other ideas, opinions and even the clues that life constantly provides us. Open your mind like a parachute and land safely each time.

Daily Affirmation: I AM flexible today, I stay open to Life.

A Life Of Purpose

The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.Richard Leider (?)

why?

  • Why do we live and breathe?
  • What were we designed to BE?
  • What were we meant to DO?

the BeDO continuum

Almost always we think of doing. What about the being? Remember we’re human beings not human doings!

What does it mean to be? Check out this article.

This quest to find what we ought to do and be is the beginning of the journey in living a life of purpose.

Daily Affirmation: I AM, being, today! I will do that which is important to me.

Erase Fear

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.Dorothy Thompson

nothing to fear but fear itself

We must vanquish fear. Especially the kind that freezes us into inaction and causes us to shrivel up. We were meant to expand our horizons and metamorphose into beautiful butterflies. We can’t do that if we’re fearful of growth and change.

apply PSTec

There’s mental work that’s necessary to erase fear and then there are tools available that can help in addition.

The fear pattern creates a neurological path in our brain which becomes very hard to erase. Often no matter what people try the automatic pattern takes over and defeats them.

One way to erase such a pattern is EFT (bottom of the page).

Another amazing way is PSTec, I discovered it lately and have used it successfully for myself and some coaching clients! Check it out here: www.pstec.org.

Here are instructions for using PSTec:

  1. Download these instructions (PSTecinstructions.mp3) and this audio (PSTecFile01.mp3). They’re both from this page: http://pstec.org/instructions.php.
  2. Listen carefully to the instructions first.
  3. Then figure out what emotional issue (fear, sorrow, depression, limiting belief etc.) you want to try PSTec on first. Decide the intensity level on a scale from 0 – 10.
  4. Listen to the 2nd audio now.
  5. For tapping on the right side, use your right thumb and right middle-finger, tap them against each other.
  6. For the left side, tap with your left thumb and left middle-finger.
  7. When asked to tap both sides, tap both the right and left side, at the same time, and rapidly.
  8. That’s it. At the end figure out the intensity level of that same issue again on a scale from 0 – 10.
  9. Repeat steps 3 thru 8 for the same issue until the intensity level goes down to a 0.

 

Daily Affirmation: I AM love. Fear loses its hold as I love.

Drops Of Water

Do not take lightly small good deeds,
Believing they can hardly help.
For drops of water, one by one,
In time, can fill a giant pot.

Mastermind

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. Eknath Easwaran

power of meditation

One benefit of meditation is that it allows you to bring your mind under your control. You are not your mind. Your mind is a tool you’ve been given. Don’t let it run your life, let it know, via mediation and practice, who the real boss is.

control your destiny

Do this by controlling your destination. Do this by directing your attention to your goals and to the projects that are important to you. Become a mastermind and thus control your destiny!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM in control of my mind. I choose my thoughts.
