***Release Anger

“Face it, embrace it, and then release it.” These words have been part of my healing process for years. However, the power lies in the awareness of what we need to face, own and then ultimately release. Sometimes this process may take minutes, or if we are emotionally attached to the situation it may take longer, perhaps years. The key is to recognize the process, see the situation for what it is, therefore, Face It. Understand how you are emotionally attached to the situation which is resulting in the feelings of anger; therefore, Embrace It.

Recently I had a client ask me how I remain positive all the time. I believe that I am optimistic and positive because I choose to foster a mindset of gratitude and celebrate the littlest joys in life regularly throughout the moments in my day. My loved ones smile and shake their heads at the excitement, giddiness and sometimes outright goofiness I display as I celebrate life experiences that seem trivial, silly or ordinary. By choosing to greet life this way, I foster a positive mindset filled with hope, optimism and joy. Try it you might like it!

Develop your Inner Peace Sanctuary

Today’s reflection is inspired by my personal journey and the journey of my long time clients. Enlightenment doesn't mean you have reached super human status. What it means is you have the same life lessons and life experiences, and you are choosing to view these experiences with a lens of expansive awareness, striving to release judgment and criticism. You are also attempting to maintain inner peace in the midst of all life experiences. Sometimes you may feel like you are not entirely living your spiritual practice in your day-to-day living.

*** Having a "why me" day?

Most of us have had one of those “why me” days. Sometimes we don’t understand why life deals us particular life experiences or circumstances. Rather than dwell in this analysis space that leads to negative emotional mindsets like victim-hood, make a conscious choice to play messages to yourself that sound and feel positive. Choosing a mindset of empowerment will result in greater awareness of how you show up in life situations and help you break patterns and cycles that no longer serve you in your life.

Positively Impact All Relationships in your Life

Choosing the journey of self-discovery is no easy feat. Spending quiet time with self in reflection and meditation allows us to explore who we truly are. We begin to evaluate, hopefully from a detached space or observational standpoint, what we like about ourselves and what we don’t. To change, we must give ourselves permission to change and allow the transformation to occur. It is important that you trust yourself and your intuition to determine what you desire to change or let go and what you want to remain constant.
