Ever get offended in some way? So now what do you do?

Posted on by

Much of this newsletter/blog post was written over 2 weeks ago. I felt like it was what I really wanted to say. Yet something about it didn’t feel quite right. Like it was missing something else that needed said. And I didn’t want to post it until I had that ‘feeling’ that it was ‘complete’. After thinking about it, and mulling it over for 2 weeks, I feel like this is the better version of what I had originally written.

Do you ever have someone say something to you that is hurtful, out of line, rude . . . Or perhaps their actions leave you ‘wounded’ in some way?

What do you choose to do with ‘it’ after the fact? You do have a choice you know.

Here is a list of a few of the things I’ve thought of that people might do:

Keep replaying it in your mind over and over

Rehearse in your mind what you would like to tell them and/or wish you would have told them, and keep replaying it over and over

Get even in some way, even if they don’t realize what it was for

Tell them off and/or get in an argument

Treat them the same way they treat you

This list could probably go on and on

What if instead, you (and this includes me) ‘let it go’ and sent them a ‘blessing’? What if you said, even silently, ‘I bless you’, and then you just let it go?

What if we could apply this to many situations in our lives, and even to those situations we become of aware of that don’t necessarily effect us directly?

Easier said then done.

‘Let it go’ and forgive.

You don’t forgive them for them or because they deserve it, you forgive them for you and your well being.

“Not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die” is a saying I’ve heard numerous times. I think it’s true. Holding all that ‘stuff’ inside is harmful to our health on all levels of our being.

And Blessing them?

Well I think that it not only helps you heal, but in some way helps them heal as well. Because really, that’s probably what they need ~ healed on some level of their being.

On the flip side of this is ~ Sometimes we do need to confront. We need to put on appropriate assertiveness skills, the ones without being mean or mad, and confront the issue.

Either way, the choice is yours. I just feel like we (and again this includes me) need to do one or the other.

It’s the hanging onto it, replaying it, unforgiveness, . . . . that keeps us stuck and is bad for our health on all levels of our being.

Just something to think about . . . .

What can happen when you make a decision?

Posted on by

As you may have noticed I’ve been behind on getting my newsletter and blog post done. That’s mainly because I had spent so much time in getting ready for my opening day that I have now been playing ‘catchup’ since then.

But it’s all good.
……….

In 2 or 3 previous posts I have written about various ways to help us make decisions. Decisions that are right for us, and how we can tell what the best decisions are for us.

This week I want to share what can happen when we make a firm, definite decision, and say ‘I am’ or ‘I want’, and just how quickly and effectively ‘the Universe’ will step in and make it happen once we’ve made that decision.

I have a friend, and Reiki client, who at the beginning of this year made a decision that “This year I am working on myself.” Not necessarily physically (although I think that has been a result as well) but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Her ‘inner life’. She was determined to improve her confidence and self esteem, and to find and let go of limiting beliefs, etc. etc.

I have to tell you, I don’t think I have ever seen anyone come so far so fast and improve so much as my friend has after she made that decision. It has been amazing to watch how much she has grown. And she has had some amazing opportunities come her way as well.

Another example happened for me personally. Sometime towards the end of 2012, to the beginning of 2013, I made the decision that I wanted a place uptown in Rockford for my business. Now that I think back, deep down inside I made that decision, ‘I am moving uptown’, even though I ‘thought’ I was just ‘checking it out’.

Well long story short, once I made that decision everything very quickly fell into place. I have a wonderful building and location. A truly wonderful gentleman and his wife that I rent from. And almost everyone that walks in here comments about how wonder the place ‘feels’.

Not that some of the projects getting ready to open didn’t take longer than I anticipated. But all in all things fell together very smoothly, and pretty quickly, once I made my decision. And it has even gone beyond what I had originally expected or thought about.

So I would encourage you, if you have had some things you’ve been thinking about, and mulling over, go back and read some of the previous posts on ways to help make decisions. And then make a decision. You just might be surprised how quickly and amazingly things start to happen.

Just something to think about . . . .

Waking Up in Fear

Posted on by

Well it’s now only 2 days away for the opening day of my new shop. I’m getting excited, as well as it feels like I still have a lot to do. But I will get there, and it will be what it is supposed to be.

It is amazing to me how many things have come up to get in the way of getting things accomplished the past week or two. Everything from a customer who needed to pick up an order, and I rearranged my schedule so she could, and then she forgot about it; to things breaking and having to make an extra trip (or two) to town. I’ve had my cell phone not cooperating, my internet not cooperating to the point of one day my emails wouldn’t even download.

This week I found out that one of the orders I placed for inventory for opening day may not be here in time. This is one of my favorite lines, and the order I placed first, 3 weeks before I needed it.

The past couple of nights I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with this really deep feeling of fear. The closest I can figure out, or put it into words, would be fear of failing I guess. That has left me feeling really tired and drained the past couple of days, and that hasn’t been helpful either.

I’ve had this feeling of fear in the past. In previous experiences though it has been much worse, to the point of waking up crying, shaking and a short of breath kind of fear. It seems to happen to me when I am stepping out and doing something new. So this time is at least better. Plus this time I haven’t woken up with the little voices going through my head telling me, “Who do you think you are? What are people going to think? People are going to think you are an idiot.” So that is another big improvement.

So what do I do to counteract all of this? (I’m telling you all of this so if at some point you experience any of this, perhaps it may help you.) For one, I ‘don’t take counsel of my fears’. I meditate and pray about it asking whether I am on the right path or not. I also remind myself that many, many, people who accomplish things have fear – they just go ahead & do it anyway. So I’m not out of the ordinary.

Probably the biggest thing though is ‘letting go’ and ‘trusting’.

I heard a great statement this past week. “The Universe (God) has your back.” For some reason that just really ‘clicked’ with my soul. So that is what I’ve been working on when all this ‘stuff’ has been getting in the way, and when fear shows up. I’ve been working on ‘letting go’ and trusting that God has my back.

Another thing has been listening to positive motivational messages. So this morning when I woke up with fear at 3:00 am, I rolled over and turned on one of my Joel Osteen CDs and listened to his trust inducing message until I went back to sleep.

I’d like to be able to tell you that I have just soared through all of this with ease and grace and lack of fear. But that hasn’t been the case. It’s one of those “I’m not where I need to be, but I’m better than I used to be” kind of things.

So if you ever experience any of these kinds of things, just know that you are not out of the ordinary, and now you have a couple of tips that will hopefully help.

Just something to think about . . . .

Loss of a Dear Sweet Man

Posted on by

My little corner of the world lost a dear sweet man last week. For some reason it has seemed harder than usual when someone I know passes on. It has been a sad, heavy feeling for me since I became aware that things were not looking good for our dear neighbor.

John was one of the nicest, kindest men I’ve ever known, and a truly wonderful neighbor.

2 years ago, a day or so after my husband came home after his emergency open heart surgery, we had a snow storm. John was here well before noon with his big tractor to clear out our drive.

When it came time to spread manure, my husband wasn’t able to do that either. We asked John if he could help me. He didn’t just help me. He insisted he would just take care of it all, and he did.

That summer, due to lots of medication side effects, and also needing a stent, my husband was in and out of the hospital a couple of times. I would leave the barn open so it wouldn’t be so hot for the horses. John would keep an eye on the weather and come down and close up the barn for me if the weather got bad. At least as much as my dog would let him. (My dog would let John close the doors from the outside, but would not let him in the barn to latch them.)

There has been a couple of times when something ‘strange’ has been going on in our little neighborhood, and my husband has been at work, and I would call John. John always came to check it out right away and make sure everything was okay.

And it works both ways.

I walked quite a ways one day helping John get his hunting dogs back after they got loose and decided to take off on their own.

Since John got sick, my husband has done some mowing in the summer and snow clearing in the winter for them. My husband will be keeping some of the mowing done for John’s wife until things get more situated for her.

Later in the evening the day John passed on, one of his son’s best friends as a kid posted on FaceBook a very moving remembrance of John and what it had been like growing up as a kid and spending a lot of time at their home. He talked about what a great example John had been and how he felt like it was his 2nd family.

The reason I’m telling you this story is because of a comment a lady made to the post on FaceBook by the son’s best friend. She said, “You know J.R… if this is how people feel about me when I am gone.. then I would say I had a good life.”

So my question to you (and to myself) for this week is, “Are you living your life in such a way that people will feel, and say, the same about you, when your time on this earth is over?”

Just something to think about . . . .

You Have the Answers Inside! How Do You Find Out What They Are?

Posted on by

For whatever reason, it seems I keep hearing, or learning about, ways to help us make good choices and decisions for ourselves.

This past week I was reminded of another.

With this method, it is important to realize that you have the answers inside of you already. Your higher self, your soul, your spirit knows the answers. Sometimes it seems though that those answers are buried under a lot of our other ‘stuff’. Other ‘stuff’ being things like our ‘programming’, limiting beliefs, negative thinking . . .

You know the answers, and your body knows the answers. You can often times use your body to help you decipher the answers.

One way is to see how it feels in your body. Start out by thinking about something good or pleasant, and notice how that feels in your body. Where do you feel it it, and how does it feel?

Now think of something bad or unpleasant. Again, notice where and how that feels in your body.

Try that with several different things or situations so you can tell the feeling it creates in your body.

Once you have a good idea about how the positive feels and how the negative feels, try it with some decisions you need to make. And then notice how your body feels about your different choices.

Another method you can use to help you with questions that have a yes or no answer, also uses your body. Stand up straight and relaxed. Ask yourself a question that you already know is a yes answer. Notice which why your body moves. You can think or say, ‘body please show me yes’. Ask yourself ‘Is my name ____________’, ‘Is my birthday ___________’, or any other questions that the answer would be yes to. Notice which way your body moves, or how it responds for you.

Then try the same thing with ‘no’ questions. You can use the same questions if you like, only use a name that is not yours, a birthday that is not yours, etc. Notice how your body responds to the ‘no’ responses.

After you get a good feel for how your body responds to yes and no, you can then try asking questions you need the answer to that can be answered with a yes or a no.

Please keep in mind though this works best if you are open to the answer that is best for you and you don’t have a preconceived answer that you want.

Try it out, have fun with it, and see what kind of help you can get from yourself.

Just something to think about . . . .

Decision Making (continued)

Posted on by

In last week’s newsletter and blog I shared a new way of looking at making decisions, and that was to make decisions with the end in mind. In other words to make our decisions based on where we want to end up at.

Since then I have been listening to an audio program on clearing our limiting beliefs and negative programming. In this program I heard a way of making decisions that takes last week’s concept even one step further.

This program teaches to make our decisions based on whether a decision ‘drains us’, or ’empowers us’. Then to imagine that decision 5 years down the road, and 10 years on down the road . . . and see if in 5 or 10 years, the results of our decision will have empowered, or drained, our energy and our life.

A Different Way of Looking at Decisions

Posted on by

Have you ever thought back over your life and how things would have been different if you would have made different choices? Things like perhaps who you married, your career choice, where you decided to live, . . . .

For some reason lately I have been thinking about that as I have been making choices & changes, and ‘taking hold of the reins’ and directing my life recently. I’m amazed that there are so many ways that my life would be vastly different now, if I would have made different choices in my past.

Some of our choices can have a profound effect on our lives and those around us. One can even look at history and see the sometimes massive impact that one person can have, and how their decisions have impacted history, and in some cases, much of the world.

Perhaps that is something we all need to keep in mind as we make decisions in our lives now. Not that we should fear making decisions, but to keep ‘the end’ in mind. And by ‘the end’, I’m referring to where we want to end up at.

For example, I’m finding there are so many opportunities I could pursue as I have moved my business uptown. I have needed to stop and ask myself, ‘Where do I want to end up?’ That is what I need to focus on ~ where I want to end up at, so I make better decisions now that take me in that direction.

So what about you? Would making decisions now, based on where you want to end up at, allow you to more easily make those choices?

Growing Out of the Muck and the Mire

Posted on by

Water lilies have long been one of my favorite flowers. When we used to have a place at the lake I took quite a few photos of them. For some reason I’ve always admired them and been attracted to them.

So when it came time to create my logo I wanted to use a water lily, or lotus flower. I had noticed that this flower was utilized quite often in a lot of ‘spa’ and ‘wellness’ images and designs. Before using it however, I wanted to research the meaning of it.

Of all places I found my favorite answers on a site about the meaning of the lotus flower tattoo. (Which just goes to show, we can learn things from some of the more unlikely places if we are willing to keep an open mind. Keep what works and throw out the rest.)

The lotus flower begins it’s life in the mud, muck and mire (of a pond or lake), yet rises above and becomes a beautiful flower. It starts out in the muck and mire, yet grows and grows, until it grows it’s way to the top where it blooms in all it’s glory.

What a great representation of many people’s lives. And to me a great representation of what attracted me to Reiki and energy work.

Reiki can be a tool to help us grow out of the muck and mire. Even if we didn’t necessarily have a ‘bad start’ in life, many of us have some kind of limiting beliefs, or personal traumas that have happened to us in one form or another, that can keep us stuck.

Reiki is one tool that can help us move past those things, and to heal. Heal on all levels of our lives: emotional, mental, spiritual and physical.

Unlike those flowers, with people, it is up to each individual whether they choose to rise out of the mud, muck and mire. As human beings we have a free will/choice. Whether we choose to grow, improve and rise above is up to us.

Whether it would be through Reiki, other forms of energy work, through methods such as EFT, or Silva or the Sedona Method . . . . or simply working on yourself by whatever method works for you, I would encourage you to keep on growing and improving.

And just like that lotus flower, you can turn into something even more beautiful and amazing than you already are.

Just something to think about . . . .

Erectile dysfunction or ED is discount generic viagra basically the formation of plaques in the arteries in various parts of the human body. vardenafil tablets But there are other difficulties associated with the medication.

How Much Has Changed . . . .

Posted on by

Okay, so you’ve probably noticed I’m late again. But that’s alright, things are still moving forward.

Sometimes it seems that things are going really slow . . . . but then you can look back over time and see that ‘Wow, a lot has really happened’.

Yesterday I did a talk for the Altrurian Club, a ladies group, in Celina, Ohio. I had discussed doing this talk almost a year ago with their president. Due to several different schedule conflicts, this was the first month that it worked out for both of us.

In preparing for the talk yesterday I had pulled out my speech notes from a year ago, and I was amazed at all the changes that have taken place since then. My original talk was focused on the areas of ‘Finding Satisfaction & Fulfillment in Your Work’, and ‘Finding Your Purpose & Your Passion’.

Since then I have gone through several stages. The first was realizing that unless people had high self-confidence and self-esteem, they would not be willing to step out and pursue their purpose or passion. So I focused on that and wrote my ebook & audio program on ‘Improving Your Confidence and Self Esteem’. I even did a free community seminar on the subject.

Then my next big step was in searching for ways to let go of those limiting beliefs and negative programming that so many of us carry around with us, and all those things that hold us back. That search led me to Reiki and other energy work.

All that has taken place in just the past year.

Why am I telling you this?

Because if and when you tend to get discouraged because things aren’t seeming to go as smoothly or as quickly as you like ~ Look back over time and see how much has happened.

You might just be surprised, like I was.

Just something to think about . . . .

Big Changes in My Life

Posted on by

You may, or may not, have noticed but I missed sharing a newsletter and blog post last week. It’s the first week I’ve missed in almost a year and a half that I have been writing these.

Read on to find out why, and about some big changes in my life.
…………

To me ‘Take Hold Of The Reins’ means taking charge of your life. Deciding what you want your life to look like, then guiding it in that direction, and letting go of those things that hold you back – things like limiting beliefs, and negative thinking and programming.

For a couple of years now I have been on a quest for letting go of those things that hold us back, and looking for how do we achieve inner healing and wholeness. All that has led me to Energy Work.

I believe I mentioned several months ago about taking my Level I Reiki class. Well since that point I have been ‘hooked’. I can’t learn enough about Reiki, and other forms of energy work.

When I signed up for that first Reiki class it was with the intention of using it for my own personal use. Upon taking the 1st class I thought I might like to teach it at some point. Little did I know the effect the whole thing was going to have on me.

I have since completed my other levels of Reiki, and am now a Reiki Master. I have also started on the levels of IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) and will be working towards my Master/Instructor level.

This reason I missed writing last week’s newsletter and blog post was because I was in the middle of moving. I have rented a wonderful office space on Main Street in Rockford (Ohio) that has space for an office/work space; space for a Reiki/Energy Work room; and space for a small showroom as well that will eventually be for personalized, inspirational and holistic gifts. Things didn’t go as smoothly as planned (particularly with my computers), but it is all coming together.

These have been some big changes in my life. It is still all about helping people though, and healing & wholeness, even though it has taken a little different direction than I originally thought. I’ve noticed big changes in myself, and I will now be working mostly away from home in my own office, instead of from my office at home.

So are there changes you would like to make in your life? If I can do it, you can do it too.

Here is to your inner healing and wholeness, no matter what that means to you, or how your receive it.

Just something to think about . . . .
