This week we’re looking at an easy and wonderful process from Ask and It Is Given, by Abraham-Hicks, called “Which Thought Feels Better?” As you likely guessed, it’s about choosing a better feeling thought than the one that is currently dragging you down. I like to try this process when I’m upset and don’t have a […]
Finding a Better Thought
Are You Sure About That?
Friends, I have been happily engrossed with books about the brain lately, and this post is the first in a series inspired by my recent reading. One of the very coolest things about being human, to me, is that we are smart enough to understand how our own brains work and then use that knowledge […]
Reaching for a Better Feeling
Friends, yet again we’re talking about climbing the emotional scale, this week with a process from Ask and It Is Given, by Abraham-Hicks. This is called “Moving Up the Emotional Scale” and it is one of my favorite techniques for changing my mood. I love it because they acknowledge that it is not reasonable for […]
Instant Mood Lifter
Friends, it’s a short post week, as I have one more awesome tool I want to share with you from The Vortex by Abraham-Hicks, and I’m currently enjoying a vacation with my whole family in the wilds of Tennessee. This is a great tool when you want to shift your mood, or get out of […]
Like Bleach for Thought Stains
This week I’ve been listening to the audiobook The Vortex, by Abraham-Hicks, and am so in love with it that I could easily spend the next year writing posts just about this book. Today I want to share one of the tools they provide for shifting your thoughts. I particularly like this one for thoughts […]
It Helps to Pretend You’re an Alien
Last week we talked about finding all of the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. I hope that you have kept a record of all of those stories, because now we get to the fun part – changing the ones that don’t work! Since I love them, this is of course a multi-step process. […]
Finding Your Hidden Stories
Want to change the quality of your life almost instantly? It’s easy – change the way you talk to yourself about your life. Our lives are mostly comprised of the stories we tell ourselves in our own heads. Events occur, and we perceive them and make meaning out of them by telling ourselves stories about […]
Do You Have an Upper Limit?
Last Wednesday started out lovely for me; for the first time in nearly three weeks I could breathe without channeling Darth Vader. This alone was enough to have me clapping in joy when my bosses arrived at work and it was time to go down and get our morning coffee. The coffee was delicious, the […]
Reinventing Lent: Giving Up Pointless Suffering
Friends, for many Christian denominations, this is the first Sunday of Lent. Lent is traditionally a time of repentance, fasting, and preparation for Christ’s death and resurrection. In my own experience, I observed Lent by giving up something I loved for six weeks, allowing myself to feast on this forbidden thing on Sundays, which don’t […]
Battle Tactics: Dealing with Sadness & Grief
If last week’s post on rage wasn’t your personal issue, then this might be the week for you – today we’re talking about sadness and grief. Usually one or the other (or in my case, both) of these emotions really freaks people out and we’ll go to amazing lengths to avoid them. This week, I’m […]
