How and why do affirmatiions work?

Have you ever wondered why or how affirmations work? Here is my understanding. We have created many of our behaviors and thoughts by way of repeated messages that were told to us, or that we told ourselves until they became true for us. Affirmations are the very same thing with a different name. When we are changing our thoughts, and behaviors via affirmations, our conscious mind filters what is allowed to get into our sub-conscious mind. After repeatedly saying affirmations with emotion they too become true for us. Eventually they get through the filters and enter the sub-conscious and voila! a new way of thinking and a new attitude. So it is necessary to say affirmation often, very often, and when you add the emotion, you have a recipe for success. One very generic affirmation written long ago is "Every day in every way I am getting better and better".

Row Row Row Your Boat

Let go and let God. I believe this means not obsessing or worrying about the outcomes of situations. To stop trying to control every result. To have faith (sometimes blind faith) that there is a higher power at work and that eveything happens for a reason. Our spirit knows this, it is our mind that has difficulty with it. However, it also does not mean that we do not have to do anything. It is our job to row the boat, (do the footwork) and our higher power steers the boat (guides us in directions). We cannot row and steer at the same time, and our higher power does not row. If we do nothing we go no-where, when we do the work and allow ourselves to be guided, and accept that where we are is exactly where we are suppose to be we are now-here. Like the song says Row, row, row, your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrilyLife is but a dream

Reality Check

If I live in the now, and don't judge good or bad, I can just accept life as it comes. It is when I choose to take the now reality and write a fictional story around it, that I now have an imagined reality, hence good and bad becomes part of the story. This imagined reality is just as real as if it were happening now, because IT IS............ in my mind. Having the awareness of this doesn't mean I am always able to just think it different, but it does mean I know when I am doing it. This awareness allows me to get out of the movie directors role more often, more easily, or at least know that I am doing it to myself, by choice. The more I am aware that I am choosing, I choose not to.
What's in your reality?

One word inspiritaion

Is it possible to inspire someone using one word? I think it is if you use an acronym. Let's see how many of us can come up with an acronym for a word that has a spiritual in nature inspiration. I will start the ball rolling my word is ASTRAL. The acronym is A Spiritual Threshold Reaffirming All Love. Now it is your turn.

After our 10 day trip to California which included, attending the I Can Do It conference, then advanced training we came home to prepare to facilitate our May, Heal Your Life® Workshop this past weekend. Joe and I are in "recharge our energy" mode. I wanted to take a few moments this morning to share a few photos with you.

Update!!!!

When everything changes, change everything. That is the title of a book by Neale Donald Walsch that is coming out soon. It also is a great thing to remember. I am, right now, updating information on our website. New information, new pricing, new, new, new. Must be spring fever!! All things are new again. All things are bright and full of potential!! We all are, can you feel it too?

Check out the website, I'll update the blog soon as well. The rest of this gorgeous day is going to be spent outside cleaning out my car and motor home.
There is no better catalyst to cleaning out the car than unexpectedly needing to give someone a ride home. Yikes!! Seeing the inside of my car through their eyes was not a good feeling moment for me. However, I am grateful because now that I've seen it, I will clean it and keep it that way!! And so it is!!

love, peace and blessings..........
