Create a New Thought

Thoughts do create our reality.  A negative thought is about the past not the present moment. Byron Katie calls it recycled thoughts.  It is the thought/s about our circumstances that creates the pain in our life, not the circumstance. Believing a negative thought that is causing you pain creates suffering.  We suffer because of our own thinking. And, the thoughts we believe to be true.  Are you ready to be free from suffering and learn to love what is?  Understanding The Work of Byron Katie Question your most painful thoughts. Those thoughts are your source of pain and nothing else.  It is because of your thoughts you are suffering.  Free yourself from suffering and create a new thought about your current circumstance. What thought (negative) are you attached to this moment? I am too fat I don't have enough money He/She/They never appreciate me I am to old My job is making me nuts I am not smart enough I am not good enough  I always end up with the wrong partner I am not successful If I was only thinner, more beautiful, more successful, lived in a better home, people would accept me. If I only went to that school or took that job I should of (fill in the blank) I need to  (fill in the blank) If this never happened I don't fit in I am not respected If he/she would love me I could never do that Do any of these thoughts resonate with you or do you come up with other negative thought/s? When you think this thought how do you feel and act? Do feel bad, sad, hopeless, discourage, do you become angry, do you engage in self defeating acts like eating a box of chocolates, mistreating your partner,being rude to others etc? Who would you be without this thought (the source of pain)? Would you feel happier and have more energy without the negative thought? We have the power to think whatever thought we want.  Go through your list of negative thoughts and see if you can replace each negative with a positive thought . Create a better feeling thought that better serves who you are today in the PRESENT moment. Create a new thought a better feeling thought!  And, set yourself free.... Discovery a new thought that feel goods and attach to it, believe it to be true.  Let the new thought become your current reality!   Much Love, Karen

Follow Your Bliss

Are you wanting to create change in your life and dream of wanting to follow your bliss?  Below are some helpful suggestions to spark your fire and get you moving in the right direction. 1. Follow your Bliss - What are you passionate about?  What do you love to do?  Make a list and write down what you enjoy doing, what excites and energizes you.  If you are unsure recall a time in your life when you felt happy.  What were you doing than? Write it down. 2. Dream Big - Do you want to travel to Paris or perhaps live in Paris?  Do you want to be the artist you have always dreamed of and have a art studio in the city you love?  Putting your dreams on paper is the first step in making your dream a reality.  Do not worry about the how, why or what if. 3. List your Obstacles - Make a list of your obstacles to identify what they are . And, than you can start to develop tools to remove the obstacles. 4. Act as If - ACT AS IF YOU you are already living the life you desire.  Close your eyes and visualize it.  Can you see yourself?  How good do you feel?  Where are you?  What does your house look like?  Who is in your life?  What do you see?  Start to act as if your already in your bliss.  Get used to how good it feels.  Practice ACTING AS IF daily. 5. Create Thoughts that Support Your Bliss - Put your focus on what you want.  Support yourself by thinking positive about you and all the possibilites available to you.  Do not get caught up with negative thinking it is non-productive and will keep you stuck in the life you don't want. 6. Surround Yourself with Your Greatest Fans - Let only the people who completely love and support you know of your dreams and desires. Allow people who encourage you to do just that and celebrate every success along the way. 7.  Ask yourself, "if not now, when?" - Once you start moving towards your goals and dreams you will be happier.  Having a plan in place and taking turtle steps will increase your energy and zest for life.  If you wait until next year you will hear yourself say "why didn't I do this sooner" or "I wish I started something last year."  Once you step onto your path, you will soon see your destination getting closer. If the turtle can cross the road so can't YOU!
