How To Feel Better Now

 

From Emotional Turmoil to PEACEFUL RELIEF … in one simple step. MAKING PEACE with where I am RIGHT NOW without needing to change any condition any person any behaviour any event any situation … that’s where Unconditional Love really starts … THE MOST EMPOWERING EMOTIONAL GOAL TO HAVE is not love or gratitude or appreciation! The best feeling I can ever reach for, is a sense of RELIEF. That’s not only sustainable, do-able and wise but it’s achievable right now in this very moment. From there, everything else comes naturally. ~ ER

It Feels Good To Trust

TRUST IS A GIFT THAT I GIVE TO MYSELF … not the other person.

I trust my mate, I trust my kids, I trust my friends,

NOT because they’ve proved they’re trustworthy,

but because I deserve to go through life

with a sense of peace and serenity,

instead of being plagued by suspicion and doubt.

I know that things always work out perfectly for me

no matter what happens.

I Have A Selective Memory

I have a selective memory for the things that bring me joy, for the feelings that still my mind, for the words that brighten my day, for the beauty that makes me smile, for the peace that warms my soul and for the love that fills my heart … You know that disagreement we had yesterday? I can’t even remember what it was about. My selective memory sorted that all out!

P.S. Isn’t it nice to be with someone who remembers who you are when you’re at your best and let’s the less desirable aspects be put to rest? I like to be that for others too. It makes me feel so good!

I’m Speaking Less and Enjoying More

Sometimes I catch myself wanting to wedge my words of wisdom into a conversation, but words are wasted unless the other person is ready and open to receiving them. Giving unsolicited advice is like cooking meat for a vegetarian – useless and even potentially harmful.

I’m glad I’m getting better at maintaining silence, allowing other people to peacefully go their own way and it empowers me to stay firmly grounded in the beliefs that serve me the most too.

I’M SPEAKING LESS … and ENJOYING more.

How To Wake Up Happy

Taking time out during the day to do whatever makes YOU happy is essential to recharge your system, quieten the mind and settle emotions so you have more energy to do the things you enjoy doing for others.

But what about night time? Are you getting a peaceful nights sleep, without disturbance, and waking refreshed? They say that the biggest contributor to sleepless nights is caused by whatever you were thinking about prior to going to bed! So I often do a couple simple processes to steady my thoughts.

TIP #43 … I ONLY HAVE ONE TIP ON HOW TO WAKE UP HAPPY ~ Go to sleep with a smile on your face, with a relaxed mind and with peace in your heart. Don’t count sheep, count your blessings instead! ~ from Tips To Make Life Easier

1 … I meditate to slow everything right down.

3 … I ask myself the 3 MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

4 … There’s a third process that I do too, and it’s actually a really simple game that helps me enormously AND fantastic to play with children before bedtime (your mate will probably enjoy it too) because it helps to raise your vibration as well … but you’ll have to leave a message in the comments to ask for the instructions for that one … ok!

I Found It All Inside Me

I FOUND SATISFACTION INSIDE ME … when I stopped comparing myself to others.

I FOUND FREEDOM INSIDE ME … when I stopped worrying what someone else might think.

I FOUND EASE INSIDE ME… when I stopped trying so hard to be perfect, and right, and good.

I FOUND BETTER HEALTH INSIDE ME … When I stopped looking outside to find a cure for illness and started remembering my natural inner wellness.

I FOUND MORE JOY INSIDE ME … when I stopped doing things out of obligation and started doing them because it made ME feel good.

I FOUND SOLUTIONS INSIDE ME … when I stopped reinforcing the problem and just “allowed” the solution.

I FOUND FULFILLMENT INSIDE ME … When I started to fill myself up first and found out I had so much more to give to others.

I FOUND PEACE INSIDE ME … when I stopped making other peoples choices wrong, when I let them walk their own path and when I just concentrated on enjoying mine.

I FOUND BETTER RESULTS BEGAN INSIDE ME … when I started to imagine everything going really, really well.

I FOUND THAT LOVE CAME SO EASILY TO ME … when I stopped looking at what others were giving and OPENED MYSELF UP to truly receiving.

I FOUND THAT MONEY CAME SO EASILY TO ME … when I stopped trying to find ways to “make it” and just looked for more ways to “have fun”.

I FOUND THAT SUCCESS CAME SO EASILY TO ME … when I stopped working for a living and started playing with my life.

What I wanted was here all the time, waiting patiently for me to become aware of it. ~ (NEW Confessions #705)

Uplifting A Relationship

I HAVE AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF UPLIFTING A RELATIONSHIP

When someone’s not behaving well – don’t mention it.
When someone’s in a bad mood – don’t mention it.
When someone’s disconnected from “who they really are” – don’t mention it.
When someone’s felt the need to complain – don’t mention it.
When someone’s been really angry, depressed or negative – don’t mention it.
When someone’s done something that hurts me – don’t mention it.

We all know when we’re not being our best. Giving attention to the negative aspects of life adds fuel to the fire. I’ve developed such a security about who I am that I don’t need someone else to change so I can feel better … I can stop taking things so personally, I can let go of the past, I can live in the way that’s right for me and I CAN LEAD BY EXAMPLE and SHOW them how it’s done. ~ (NEW Confession #781)

How To Feel Loved

TIP #51

I ONLY HAVE ONE TIP ON HOW TO FEEL LOVED

Reach inside your own heart to feel the wonder, the magic, the ease, the peace, the love that IS YOU, that comes from you, that is at the core of every one of us … and then remind other people how much love they have inside too. You are all loved more than you can possibly imagine.

World Peace Begins With ME

I ONCE CLAIMED I WANTED WORLD PEACE

But when I really thought about it, I would have been condemning someone else’s choices in order to get it. That’s not real peace, that’s conditional righteousness. Now I prefer to claim the “peace in my heart” which starts as an inner journey that I choose to take quietly, gently and privately, as often as I can. From there, miracles happen!

~ from the author of 500 Confessions

I Am At Peace

I AM AT PEACE

not because my life is any better than yours,

not because I fought hard to get it

and not because I was born lucky.

I’m at peace because no matter who I’m with, where I am or what’s going on in the world,

I only focus my attention

on things that make ME feel really, really, really good.

It’s Good That I’m Not Perfect

If I was perfect you wouldn’t grow. You’d become dependent on me being there forever and forget the incredible feeling of success you have … when you reach for something you want and get there, all by yourself.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t be happy. You’d keep expecting me to be your entertainer, your mind reader, your rescuer, (your mother … lol) and never discover how brilliant you really are … when you need to step up and find happiness no matter where you are, no matter who you’re with and no matter what’s going on around you.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t know your own power. You’d keep expecting me to be the catalyst for your alignment and never get to experience the peace, the security and the immense appreciation you feel … when you realise you truly are the creator of your own life.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t become a leader. You’d keep putting me on a pedestal and try to knock me off instead of finding good reasons to lead the way … when you are faced with something so big that it requires you to lift yourself up and carry others along with you.

If I was perfect you wouldn’t learn how to love fully. You’d keep believing that love is about the worthiness of others instead of the incredible qualities you need to find deep inside yourself … when you have no other choice but to allow everything to be just as it is, or deny the amazing person you know you’re really capable of being.

Kind Wishes For Anyone Starting Over

May you notice happiness in sadness,
Triumph in defeat,
Find comfort in discomfort,
And many new friends to meet.

Know that those who are NOT like us,
Are an equally valuable find.
And see that ending are beginnings,
Of just a different kind.

Feel the soul of your inner child,
Who sits hungry at your feet,
knowing that growth and appreciation
Are the ways to feel complete.

Let love dominate your relationships,
And peace pervade your mind,
Remember, the way we’ve shown our love for others,
Is the legacy we leave behind. (2007)
