What is change? And why are we so afraid of making changes? – Part I

In reality the process of “changing” is simply making a decision to do something other than what we are currently doing. Change is a reflection of current attitudes. Sometimes we choose to make changes that are relatively simple like deciding where to eat or what to order. Surely deciding where to go to lunch is a fairly simple process; although it can be cumbersome if 14 people are included in the decision process. Perhaps if we are dining alone, or happen to be in an unfamiliar area, we may also be inclined to ask for recommendations.

***Your Attitude Is What Matters, Not The Headlines

How have you come through the latest turmoil in the financial world? Here’s the answer. You came through as well as you decided to. Most people don’t know they have a choice. Most people are unconsciously run by forces out there, the news, newspapers, the 24 hour news cycle, opinions of people on television, opinions of politicians, opinions of friends. Most people don’t know it’s their choice to decide for themselves.

When the love is complete…

“When there are problems, if we would love more, they would disappear. When the love is complete, the problem dissolves immediately!” ~ Lester Levenson When the love is complete, always includes a positive resolution. There is no uncertainty. There is no ambiguity. There are no unresolved issues. Everything is in perfect harmony. We have all experienced this reality and yet often don’t realize that we created the difficulty and also its conclusion. Through our thought processes, we have the ability in any given moment to change our minds and experience a different result.

What are you expecting?

If you’re expecting good things most of the time, please stop right in this moment and give yourself a pat on the back! Bravo to you! Realistically we should all be expecting good things at all times. Truth appears that most times, most folks tend to expect somewhat unfortunate outcomes. Think about this for a moment… Perhaps you have used phrases such as, “Too expensive… too good to be true… I can’t… I don’t know how… and the list goes on and on. Without realizing, these limiting statements are actually projecting what we are holding in mind.

Moving Beyond Limitation into Happiness

It occurred to me that, “Limitation” and “Happiness” are on opposite ends of the spectrum; so in order to for us move beyond limitation and into happiness, we need to see what we are really holding in mind. Lester Levenson has said, “There are no problems unless we are holding onto them. By trying to eliminate a problem, is an indication that we are holding the wrong thing in mind.”

***The "Unexpected Money Secret." Do You Know What It Is?

The “Unexpected Money Secret.” What is the Unexpected Money Secret? Don’t be surprised if you’ve never heard of The Unexpected Money Secret it’s not mentioned in the media.

Love Is The Answer

Article Contributed by Jenny LaFontaine Lester says that “Love is the answer”. It took me awhile to really experience what he meant and even as I write this more is unfolding. My jou ey along the way may be of help to you. I did not have any idea how to love myself. I had done numerous self-development courses and even self-esteem trainings before I came to The Release Technique, but looking back on it I can see that I actually had resistance to really loving myself – it just wasn’t ‘done’ to love yourself.r

Making Changes in our Diet, Our Lives, & our Belief System

Regardless of the changes we would like to make, it is important that we begin by clearly deciding what it is that we would like to change. The decision part of any area of our life that we are hoping to change is a very important aspect. Clearly we can easily agree that choosing healthier foods, foods with more fiber or less fat, offers us healthier options. We can also agree that more exercise may be necessary or perhaps that we need to provide more variety in our diet and exercise routines.

Liking the image in the mirror

What does it take to stop believing that the image in the mirror is unattractive? First of all, notice what you are holding in mind. What are you creating for yourself by labeling yourself negatively? When we look in the mirror and dislike our image, we are seeing ourselves in a distorted manner. This cycle is the beginning of having a bad day. If we aren’t happy with ourselves, trust that no one outside of you can make you happy. No one other than YOU can decide how you feel about yourself.

***Fear And Indecision: The Joy Killers

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we jou ey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

The Three Core Truths to Having Abundance

Here's an example of some common "I can't" feelings experienced by people who struggle endlessly with abundance: - "I always have to work hard to make money." - "No matter how hard I work... or how positive I try to be about my financial situation... I never seem to have enough." - "It's not fair. Other people always get the lucky breaks. If only I had a quick windfall of money all my problems would disappear." - "Money always goes to money. There's no point trying to think differently. I see it everyday. I suppose I should just be happy with what I've got."

What’s stopping you from being successful?

If we took a moment and asked ourselves, “What’s stopping me from being successful?” we might get an answer such as “I don’t know.” Well that response doesn’t really help us to understand what is blocking us from having success or being successful. In truth, most of us don’t really know what’s stopping us from being successful. Actually what typically stops most people from being successful includes excuses or limiting beliefs…, wanting to change something…, and holding onto fear or resistance.

Moving forward begins with making a decision…

If there is one thing that we would like to change, it would be the notion that we can change something that has occurred in the past. Perhaps you may agree that if something occurred in the past, we can accept what happened and choose to begin moving forward. We can decide to change how we feel about the situation by letting go of wanting to be right. We can decide to change how we respond at a future time in relation to similar situations; although realistically we cannot change the past. In other words, we can’t change what has already occurred.

What is change? And why are we so afraid of making changes? – Part II

Change is only for the purpose of making better decisions that agrees with what we are interested in doing or having, or not doing or not having. If we look at the process of change more closely, logically we can see that some changes require more time and consideration. Certainly things like planning to relocate, changing jobs or career path, or continuing education requires time and thoughtfulness to accomplish any of these elections. However, if the changes we would like to make aren’t initiated within a reasonable time, it maybe because we are allowing fear to intimidate us.

***Change Your Energy – Attract What You Want

The first step to attract what you want is to change or shift your energy. Everything in this world is made up of energy including us. Other people pick up on your energy. If it’s positive you’ll attract positive people into your life. If you have negative energy, you’ll always attract negative people and negative situations into your life. If you find that you are getting exactly what you don’t want or if you find that you are not getting what you want then there’s a very good chance that you’re simply sending out the wrong energy.

Actually, it’s not you that likes to look at what’s wrong. It’s your mind that likes to look at what’s wrong and you’re unconsciously going along with that mind of yours. You don’t see it happening because you’re living unconscious to what your mind is telling you to do. You’re living on automatic, meaning you react automatically to whatever happens.
