When Things Feel “Hard”, Do This One Thing And You’ll Feel Better And Things Will Be Easier to Push Through

To experience peace does not mean that your mind is always blissful. It means that you’re capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life. – Jill Bolte Taylor

Is it just me or do you also feel like there has been so much going on for what feels like forever? For awhile now, hasn’t it felt like you’ve had so much to manage through? Maybe you’ve been trying to accomplish something for awhile? Or, perhaps you’ve been experiencing the ups and downs – of life, or your work, or your relationship, or your health, or your financial situation, or all of the above.

Well, if any of this sounds familiar, then I know what you’re going through. I also have had a ton of things going on for what feels like a very, very long time.

Aren’t you looking for that finish line? Or, at least to reach that point where you can see that everything you’ve been working through is finally paying off? However, no matter how much you wish otherwise, you know you’re not at the finish line just yet. There’s some more “pushing” required and you’re probably going to have to work through some more challenges – “Ugh”.

19 Things I Wish I Knew Earlier In Life

“Dear Past,

Thank you for all the lessons you gave me.

Dear Future,

I am ready now.”

Have you ever looked back on your life and thought … “If I just knew then, what I know now.” ?

I know that throughout our life we get so many lessons and important takeaway messages from experiences and challenges.

I also know that I missed some lessons and takeaway message the first time around … and needed repeat lessons (sometimes several repeat lessons) until what I needed to understand finally sunk in.

Wouldn’t it have been have great if some of those lessons could have stuck just a little sooner?

But, life has a way of unfolding perfectly … and the perfect lessons always come to us at the perfect time. [Read more...]

5 Simple But Powerful Messages to Keep Top of Mind (Part #8)

We do have the choice to be editing our life on any given day if we wish. We can ‘edit’ the way we ‘perceive’…’resist’…’resent’… and ‘question’ what comes our way.

How good are you at “editing” and framing the things that come your way in the best light possible? This is a question I asked myself recently after coming across this great quote (above) that Rand left in the comments of last week’s article (Thank you Rand).

One of the things I have finally learned is that the way we perceive things and frame them in our minds absolutely affects the way we experience them and how we feel.

And, I’ve realized that often times some “editing” of situations is necessary because our minds don’t automatically see things in the best light and from the right perspective.

How You Can Make It Easier to Manage Through Any Challenges or Changes

“It’s not a problem if one door closes. It’s only a problem if you don’t realize you’re being directed to something better.”

Do you always trusts the way things are changing and unfolding in your life?

Maybe your relationship is changing; maybe something unexpected occurred; maybe an opportunity fell through; or maybe something has happened that changed the course of your life forever.

Whatever the case may be, when it comes to accepting what is happening and trusting it, how good are you at doing that?

I used to not be good at accepting change or trusting when unexpected things occurred. I had expectations of how things would happen and I was uncomfortable and concerned when things didn’t go according to plan. [Read more...]
