POSITIVE BILL PAYING

It's natural to worry about how much money is going out. Or these days, especially, worry there’s not enough for upcoming bills. I get it! However, the key if you're going to pay anyway is to focus on the benefit of what you are gaining. Whether it’s payments toward rent, car, or education, everything you pay for serves you in some way. So instead of seeing your money as draining away (a one-sided loss), see it as an even exchange of energy (a mutual gain). This will inspire a sense of fulfillment and attract more wealth to you. This simple shift is subtle but powerful. Remember, there are two sides to every story, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

Your life is not defined by your failures, your mistakes, your past, or your current challenges. Don't blame the pandemic, the system, your life circumstances, or even the people around you for holding you back. You cannot change the past, the system, or people. Your smartest course is to accept everything as it is, and celebrate the fact that you have control over your perspective, your decisions, and your actions. Everything is leading you towards a destiny that won't make sense until you look back and see how every single thing happening right now is catalyzing the exact future you need to experience.

ARE YOU STRESSING?

Anxiety, tension, stress, doomsday thinking, worry - all of these are forms of fear caused by too much time spent in the future, and not enough time spent in the present. Since the present is the moment that seeds the manifestation of what is to come (and impacts how you feel along the way), discipline your mind. Catch yourself when you start planting seeds of only negative possibilities. I know it's not easy. Do your best to stay informed and make choices based on the facts, rather than fear, especially when you find you're getting too far ahead of yourself and only see a bleak future that may not even manifest.

WHAT IS GOING WRONG?

f something is not going the way you want, remember that life will move on, just as it always does, and you have a choice. You can either participate in the negative matrix of thoughts and subsequent conversations, or you can decide to seed something positive. Let today be a catalyst for new thinking and new words, even if it is uncomfortable, or you are dreading what will happen from here. The future has yet to unfold. If you focus on the negative, you'll only make yourself feel worse. The more a situation upsets you, the more important it is find your personal gain, and choose thoughts that support you to feel better.

FEELING DOWN

It’s not natural to feel “up” all the time, and normal to feel down sometimes.  When you’re a bit down and want feel better, self-coach yourself up by taking a moment to contemplate where you are holding an unrealistic expectation.  Maybe you have expectations of how life should be, or how others should act or treat you. Perhaps you are focused so much on what’s not right without taking into consideration the bigger picture of how the situation is serving you or benefiting you.  Take a moment to activate a new feeling by asking yourself if your expectations need to be readjusted.  By accepting everything as it is, happiness has space to emerge.

DISSIPATE FEAR AND ANXIETY

As human beings, we can’t get rid of having fears.  Even the bravest of human beings have fears. Our fears serve the purpose of challenging ourselves beyond our comfort zone, which in turn helps us to grow – one of the purposes of life.  A common fear that many experience is the fear of social rejection.  Have you given up on pursuing something you love or doing something you want to do because you are afraid of rejection or ridicule? The reality is that both rejection and acceptance occur no matter who we are or what we do. Remember, you are the only one that you will be with you for the rest of your life.  Don’t give up your dreams only to subordinate to fear and lose your essential self.

TO JUDGE OR NOT TO JUDGE

Judgment is an unnecessary perspective. When you judge someone or something (even silently), you put yourself at a disadvantage by assuming that you know everything there is to know. Anytime you judge, you not only feed your ego by distorting the truth, you limit the opportunities that show up in your life. When you sit in judgment, you limit your focus. When you limit your focus, you reduce your power and lose precious energy. Since everything you see and experience is a part of the bigger picture of life, it's wise to remember that everything within life is a necessary part of this picture, and judging it serves no positive purpose.
