3 Steps to reframe wherever you are

Some people are unsure how they will make it around the next bend. Do you ever feel overwhelmed with tasks or permit fear or negative energy to cloud your perspective? Are you already wondering how you will manage to focus on the next project?

If this sounds like you, rest assured that you will never find yourself in a situation that you aren't prepared to handle. You have the power to create your own solutions, that is, to believe that you can do what is at hand. Consider these 4 tips:

1) Learn to relax.  In order to think clearly, you need to breath and find a focus.  Write lists. Take time to meditate, observe nature or listen to peaceful music, away from the hustle bustle that usually controls your life.

2) Train yourself to find a positive.  Its simple.  If you express anger, then remind yourself about reasons to feel joy.  If you find yourself becoming afraid, then simply focus your thoughts on reasons to feel love. It may be helpful to create or compile a table of opposite feelings and emotions. This will help you redefine balance in life.

2) Redefine miracles.  Such events or experiences are often assoicated with what is unrealistic or virtually impossible. That would be self-defeating. It makes sense to train your mind to sense miracles as within reach, as ideas and experiences you can influence to enrich your life. Its in your interest to make a different choice.

Ask & more than you realize will be given

Are you ready to expand your own consciousness?  If you're open to expanding your understanding of connections between mind, body and spirit, then I would invite you to discover Esther & Jerry Hicks.  They've published more than 700 books, audio CDs and seminar-related materials.  This work not only offers insight into spirit presence all around us, but it also offers their version of proof the soul continues in a new form after physical existence.  Isn't it time for you to heighten your sensitivities?

Now, Ask & It Is Given is all about learning how to manifest your true desires.  It teaches you to see why you are where you are, and how you think.  Some people will say that they have no idea what they really want.  Yet, this book reminds us how we have often conditioned ourselves to listen to outside influences. Its all a process.

Many people have forgotten how to listen to their inner voice and how to exert the power of intention. You can retrain your mind, based on advice from beings in the non-physical world. They offer more than 22 tips to rethink habits, ego, limits and resistance, based on Esther's channeling of 'Abraham.' Here is a book excerpt:

We are called Abraham, and we are speaking to you from the Non-Physical dimension. Of course, you must understand that you also have come forth from the Non-Physical dimension, so we are not so different from one another. Your physical world has come forth from the projection of the Non-Physical. In fact, you and your physical world are extensions of the Non-Physical Source Energy...

Ross Bishop's Journey to Enlightenment

Ross Bishop has published a new book with Blue Lotus.  It's called Journey to Enlightenment.  This work encourages readers to discover that raising their awareness about what matters is within anyone's grasp.  He reminds us this personal process isn't meant to be scary or difficult.  Are you ready to move forward?

If you're familiar with themes explored in Eckart Tolle's book, The Power of Now or, ideas discussed in Esther & Jerry Hick's book, Ask and It is Given, then Ross Bishop's book will likely interest you.  He takes a unique approach to consciousness and what he thinks is required for each of us to wake up and remember what we've always known.  Its like a gentle reminder or tap on the shoulder to awaken your senses.

What makes this book unique is how readers are guided along an ancient shamanic journey.  This mysterious, yet familiar point of view enables you to become more accepting of what you are and more selectively forgetful about what you're not.  Isn't it time you reveiwed certain aspects of your life and welcomed in the Light?

If you're drawn to learn more about the power of gratitude, the process where you conditioned yourself to adopt limiting beliefs, then perhaps its time to open your mind this perspective. Expanding on what you think you know is the whole point.

3 Tips to approach the next stage

If you're building a business, or even thinking about it, then its useful to realize such a creative endeavour will be part of your own growth process. That is to say, no matter which goals are set or milestones reached, the business will offer frequent new challenges. As you embark on the next stage of your business strategy, or seek new business investments, its meaningful to remind yourself of a few things:

1) Everyone you meet has lessons to teach you. Maybe you're looking for business partners, distributors or staff. Even if all you know so far are incompatible personalities or undesirable business practices, its all good. You see, you also discover what you truly want and need through encountering what you don't. Choose to see the glass is at least half full rather than half empty. Learning lessons is key.

2) Stability begins as a state of mind. Some people think that constant influx of money or profit is the key to stability. Not so. In business, the most predictable thing is impermanence.  How you react to what happens around you matters. You create your stability through making informed choices. Adapt to markets. Evolve to respond better to service clients. Develop diplomacy and practices which appeal.

3) Consider each step as a "test bed." Whatever your track record, you can always look forward and decide to retain valuable lessons. The last investment may not have had the highest return, but you can visualize how the next one will be better. The last business associate you had may not have been the most conscientious or dependable, but your insight means your next choice will be stellar. The last product you turned out may have had some flaws, but you can apply what you learned to make the new release take the market by storm. View this stage with confidence.

Rethink your assumptions

You invite each person into your life for different reasons. Part of your job is to figure out less obvious reasons.  When things aren't going the way you assume they should at work or in romance, its tempting to assume people influencing your mood shouldn't be in your life.  But wait! Think again. What could you be missing?

1) Reflect on why that certain someone annoys you.  This may be a person who has a crush on you or who follows you around having chosen you as office mentor.  It could also be for other reasons. Admit the real reason you're annoyed. Its not likely the person at all.  It could be what he/she represents or reminds you about. Whenever your attention is drawn to something, this is a good thing. Figure it out.

2) Rethink that romantic scenario that didn't work out.  Part of you may resist because you believe this would be a waste of time.  Yet, when a romance doesn't pan out, its because deep down, you didn't believe this person was right for you.  Being moody, indecisive, feeling weird or sensing things are going nowhere is all good.  Things have indeed gone as you hoped inside. What did you learn about you?

3) Review the true sources of your frustration.  Okay.  You may not be on the most preferred list of specialists in your field.  You may not be the first person asked out on friday night or have the most friends. Yet, if you're frustrated about your relationships, the best place to look for answers is inside. Are you compatible with your choices? Do you love and accept yourself? Would you prefer other company? Only you can choose to change your environments or entourage.
