Tools For Your Mind, Soul and Spirit

by Linda Ann Stewart

Every moment of every day, you are making choices, from the moment of awakening to the time you go to bed at night. Your strongest thought determines what you’ll do at any given time, whether it’s conscious or habitual. In the morning, do you get up when the alarm buzzes or hit the snooze button? Do you cook eggs or oatmeal for breakfast? Which route do you take to work? Every moment is a fork in the road, and you travel one way or the other.

Your attitudes and actions have been created by your past choices that have become automatic over time. As a youngster, you could either accept or reject your caregivers’ assessments of you. One person would believe it when a father accused them of being “worthless,” while another would consider the source and discard the label.

Sometimes, you don’t even realize that you have options. When you were young, other people made decisions for you. Or maybe you accepted the attitudes of those around you to be able to cope in your environment. After you grew up, you lived on autopilot without assessing those old ideas. This resulted in struggling through a life based on those outdated concepts.

There may have been times when you felt that you had no alternatives. That only meant that the other choices would have been harder to live with. A person in an awful job may feel they have to stay in it, no matter what. However, they could always find another job, even if it would be at a lower pay scale. Or even work two jobs to earn an equivalent income. Peace of mind and satisfaction may be worth having less or working more.

You choose what your thoughts are, even when they seem to be reflexive. If negative thoughts arise spontaneously, you can challenge them and change them. George Eliot said, “The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.” If a situation doesn’t end up like you want, you can always change your mind and go in a different direction.

The key lies in recognizing that you were always the one who made a choice. You’ve done so even when you don’t like the outcome or feel stuck. Making no decision is a decision in itself. Going along with what someone else wants is also under your control.

By realizing you’ve always chosen your thoughts, beliefs and actions, even if by default, eliminates the feeling of victimhood and hopelessness. This puts the sense of power back with you, where it belongs.

Be aware that every moment of every day, you’re making choices. If they are made automatically, without thought, then it might be time to evaluate them to see if they’re still valid. By switching from habitual decisions to making intentional ones, you transform from being unaware to being more conscious. When you become aware that there are other options, you can then select a better way.

When you recognize you have choice, even if the alternative doesn’t seem to be of equal benefit, then you open up a wide range of possibilities. It’s the difference between always looking down at your feet and raising your gaze to the horizon. Doing so takes your power back and allows your subconscious to discover better opportunities.

Affirmation

I always choose my thoughts, beliefs and actions. Even when I’m on autopilot, I decided my direction long ago. Now I bring those automatic ideas out of the shadows to assess whether they’re still useful. If I don’t like my current situation, I know that I can make a different choice and improve my life. Realizing that I always have a choice, I reclaim my power and set my subconscious to search for better opportunities.

This week, I was reminded that “We don’t have control of our past or our future. But we do have control of today.” The past is over and done with, and we can’t change it. We can change how we perceive it, and learn from it, but the events are over. And the future is yet to be. So right now is all we really have.

The future is created by the ideas, beliefs and attitudes we have today. If we want to see what our future will hold, just look at our current concepts. Planning for the future is one thing, as long as we work the plan one moment at a time.

Unexpected events could throw off the plan. A loved one dying, a company collapsing, war, these are out of our control. However, we have control over how we respond to what happens.

Viktor Frankel, psychiatrist and World War II concentration camp survivor, said, “The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one’s attitude in a given set of circumstances.” We can resist or resent the situation, or we can find a way to learn and grow from it. It’s our choice.

Each moment, we have control over what we think, believe and do. Those moments add up and create the future. As long as we keep our focus on the positive possibilities in the present moment, then the future will take care of itself.

Some people don’t accept their own inner power. Many times, they abandon it because they’re afraid they’ll misuse it. Generally, this is because they’ve been the victims of other people who abuse their power and authority and don’t want to be like the abusers.

They’ve confused power with control. Power is the energy and ability to affect their own world. Contrarily, control is attempting to dominate the world of others for an advantage. Controllers manipulate, denigrate, discount and put others down to make themselves feel more powerful.

Since they don’t recognize their inner power, controllers feel they have to take it from others. This is the realm of bullies and abusers. They’re trying to make others do their bidding so that they feel better in some way. This is control, not empowerment.

If you don’t accept and exercise your power, then you’re making yourself a victim and living in survival mode. Instead of impacting your life in an assertive fashion, you’re always reacting to outside events. This causes you to live in fear, feel helpless, and let  others define who you are. They’re filtering who you are through their own beliefs about who they think you should be.

When you accept this and don’t set and keep boundaries, you’ve actually abandoned your inner self. Living at the mercy of someone else’s whims isn’t conducive to spiritual growth or personal development.

By not taking responsibility for your power, you hand it over to others. Instead of making decisions for yourself, you let others choose for you. This is how the Law of Attraction works. Personal power is simply energy. If you don’t  exercise it consciously, or reject it, it will go elsewhere. That disowned energy projects into the world and attracts people who will use it, usually to your detriment.

Personal power is a sense of confidence, strength and authenticity. Control comes from fear. When you accept your own inner power, you accept responsibility for yourself and your decisions. You rest in the assurance that you have the right to say “Yes” or “No,” based on knowing your limits and what’s appropriate for you.

Reclaiming your power may affect people in your life, because it changes the relationship. The other people now have to fall back on their own resources to meet their needs. Simply remember that they have their own power they can cultivate. They don’t have a right to your’s.

Only by being authentic and claiming your power can you attract what you want into your life. When you don’t hold yourself hostage to another’s motives, you can realize that you have a right to your life. Personal power means you decide what is best for you, rather than letting someone else do it.

You accept that your values, beliefs and opinions are as important as anyone else’s. They’re individual to you and appropriate for you. Other people can disagree with your ideas, and that’s fine for them. But your’s are valid for you. You are the person driving your life.

When you empower yourself, you authorize yourself to use your inner power to create your life. You’re accepting the responsibility for your beliefs, thoughts and actions, knowing that doing so means you can change any of these when you choose.

Believe it or not, when you accept your power and begin to exercise it in your life, other people will respect you more. You’ll be calmer, your inner self will be happier, and Life will be much more supportive of your endeavors. It takes courage to empower yourself, but it opens you up to the flow of the Universe.

Affirmation

I now give myself permission to reclaim my power. No one else has a right to it. It’s mine by Divine Right. I have the right to decide what is best for me and to ensure that I follow through on it. My values, beliefs and opinions are as important as anyone else’s on the face of the planet. I now accept responsibility for my life, and know I have the power to  change it whenever I choose.

As a hypnotherapist, I’ve helped people quit smoking for over twenty years. One client had quit with the patch a couple of days before his first session, and he was having a terrible time with it. On our second session, he said it was like night and day. It was so much easier after his first session of hypnosis.

Hypnosis won’t make you quit smoking, but it does help make the process of quitting easier. Mainly, hypnosis imprints new information into your mind and focus on different thoughts about smoking. You focus on the advantages of not smoking and different strategies to get you through the cravings.

Over the years, people have argued with me about whether changing your thinking about smoking can make quitting easier. Finally, scientific evidence confirms this very premise. A new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers, using an MRI, found that focusing on the long-term negative consequences of smoking actually switched off the part of the brain that controlled cravings.

Apparently, this concept also worked with cravings for various foods, as well. When you consider the long-range consequences, you change your focus, and it turns off the craving. Eventually, you’re able to train your brain to switch off the cravings. With hypnosis, you’re able to make those changes quicker.

I wonder what else they’ll discover that you can train your brain to do that hypnotherapists have been doing for years?

by Linda-Ann Stewart

Over and over again, we’re told that we can only focus on one thing at a time. When we think we’re focusing on two ideas at a time, we’re really switching our attention from one to the other and back again. That is a waste of mental energy.

It’s a myth that we can multi-task without some decline in our ability to focus and be effective. Multi-tasking actually slows us down and erodes our ability to concentrate.

A study from the University of Michigan has actually found a reduction of 40 percent in production when we try to do two things at once. It also causes us to make mistakes and creates the problem of being burned out.

A Microsoft study found it can take up to 15 minutes to re-focus after an interruption. This can deplete internal resources and reduce creativity. Distractions take the place of true accomplishment. Just because we look busy doesn’t mean we’re achieving anything.

The solution is to shut out the interruptions, distractions and focus for an extended period of time on the project in front of you. Corporations are beginning to create these distraction-free time zones.

Not only does this free up time, but it reduces stress and allows space for creativity to flow. When we’re not busy dealing with the latest crisis, we can begin to move forward.

Establish one or two times a day to check email, let the phone messages go to voicemail, shut the door to be able to concentrate. These are boundaries we set around our time and workspace to allow us to be more productive and feel more peaceful.

Learning to set boundaries isn’t just important in our personal lives, it’s important in our business lives, as well. It forms a structure that we can count on and help us to be more calm and relaxed.

Inspired by the article E-mail is Making You Stupid from Entrepreneur.com, and gives more ideas of how to reduce your distractions.

motivation, productivity, inspiration

by Linda-Ann Stewart

You’ve probably been taught to be generous, a giver, and put other people first. These are necessary ingredients for spiritual development, but they can be taken to extremes. When they are, they erode your self-worth, promote a victim mentality and you give away your power.

Many times, when you do too much for others, at the expense of your well being, they won’t appreciate it and will just demand more. They may feel that they’re entitled to whatever resources you have, and you’re expected to hand them over. This isn’t good for you or for them.

By taking on the responsibility for other people’s feelings and actions, you’re not allowing them the gift of being accountable for themselves. They are every bit as able as you are to develop abilities to handle difficult and disappointing situations. When you try to completely cushion their discomfort, you aren’t letting them exercise their problem solving skills.

Letting people be upset and uncomfortable can be distressing. But by doing so, you’re enabling them to increase their own resources and freeing yourself to have more time and money. Here are several ways you can take back your power in your relationships.

Put your well-being first

If you don’t put your health and well-being first, no one else will. You will have shown them that you don’t consider it to be important, so why should they. This is also a toxic message to your inner self. Eventually, you’ll run out of mental, emotional, physical and financial resources.  Then you won’t be able to help anyone, including yourself.

You’re only responsible for your moods, feelings, and behaviors

When someone is upset, it’s natural to try to cheer them up. But in trying to do that, you’re distracting them from their issue and actually prolonging it. It will surface again, except it will have gained energy. You’re not responsible to make anyone else feel better. Let them cultivate their own resources, and they’ll have them forever.

Don’t try to reason with an irrational person

If you have someone in your life who manipulates you, learn to set a boundary. State what you plan to do, and don’t deviate from it. They don’t care about your reasons, they just want you to do what they want. Reasoning with them just gives them more ammunition to twist to their advantage. You aren’t required to justify your actions or decisions to others.

Learn to say, “No”

When you say, “No,” to other people, you’re telling your inner self that what you want matters. Unless you state what you’re willing to do and not do, then they’re not going to know. They’re not mind readers. By drawing a line in the sand, you’re communicating to them and your inner self that your desires, choices, and needs are important.

When you begin to make these changes, the people you’re dealing with probably won’t like the changes in your attitude towards them. It’s likely they’ll escalate their demands. Stand firm, because you’re not only dealing with them but also your patterns and habits.

The more determined you are to take back your power, the easier the transition will be. Your relationships will improve or the difficult ones will fade out of your life. It may be sad to see them go, but they’ll create a vacuum to draw in people who truly appreciate and respect you. You’ll regain your power over your choices, and your self-worth will improve because you’re establishing your value.

Affirmation

My choices, desires and needs matter. They are as important as anyone else’s. I now establish healthy boundaries and learn to say “No” to requests and demands that make me uncomfortable. I don’t need to justify my decisions to anyone. They are valid simply because they are important to me. I realize that I’m responsible only for my choices, moods and challenges. Other people have as much ability to solve their problems as I do. I now take responsibility for my well-being.

self improvement, self help, personal growth, personal development

by Linda-Ann Stewart

Curiosity about dreams seems to be widespread. Dreams fascinate us, seeming to come from a mysterious place deep within us, out of the reach of our everyday selves. A friend of mine once watched two dream experts interviewed on the MacNeil/Lehrer Report. A national television program found dreams interesting enough to spend some time exploring their importance.

The two men interviewed were a neuroscientist and a Freudian psychoanalyst. Though from different disciplines, they both agreed that dreams help us to deal with our everyday lives. Dreams help us to process information in our subconscious, to help us solve problems.

Dreams reveal information to us, whether we understand their message or not.  When we pay attention to them, they become a powerful force for transformation. These riches of the night can bring to light attitudes we’ve outgrown, difficulties we’ve ignored, and conflicts that have been affecting us. They can help us get in touch with our inner wisdom, and give us the direction we need to move forward.

Many years ago, I was trying to decide whether to move my hypnotherapy office from one place to another. I had a dream about the space I was considering. Though I hadn’t viewed the office yet, this dream was very accurate about what was in the room, and very specifically indicated that the room would be too loud.

In the dream, people were entering the room to get office supplies, and file reports. I ignored the dream, and moved anyway. I discovered all the dream elements were right on. Though people didn’t enter my room for supplies, there was a closet just across the narrow hall from my door where the supplies were kept.

Traffic to that cupboard, opening and closing the doors, dropping things, office staff calling out to the reception area was very distracting when I had a client. I stayed in that office for two years. Now I pay closer attention to my dreams since I had such a graphic example of how much they know.

Our dreams know all about us. We’re the ones who have scripted them and who are acting in them. Dreams reveal us to ourselves. They show us how we feel about life. Do we feel we’re at war with the world? Or that we’re prisoners? Or that we’re unprepared?

I have a recurring dream that I’m rehearsing for a play. It’s opening night and none of us in the cast knows our lines. This generally shows that I feel unprepared about something happening in my life.

Our images while sleeping reflect our feelings about ourselves and life. An acquaintance once told me that she knew it was time to break up with her boyfriend when she had recurring dreams of murdering him. Dreams show us how we truly think and feel, whether we want to consciously accept it or not.

The state of our health can be spotlighted. When I get too tired, I have dreams about my car having flat tires. Yes, I know it’s punny. I spent years trying to figure out that symbol.

If I don’t take care of myself, one dream about a single flat tire will become a recurrent dream with two, then three flat tires. Eventually, if the car has four flat tires, I get sick. My dreams have told me what’s going on and what to do about it. Get some rest.

For me, the first part of the night contain dreams of the previous day. My mind is integrating what has happened. In the latter part of the night, my dreams then begin to work on current issues in my life.

Many years ago, I needed to let go of a feeling of powerlessness. My dreams had a recurring symbol of power plants. In them, I learned to reconnect with my power. In one, a character told me that I was going to get it this time. And I did.

We can utilize our dreams by paying attention to them. I kept a diary for twenty years, writing my daily events and my dreams. When you want some help on a subject, form a question and put it in your diary. Use an affirmation, like “Tonight, I will have a dream that will explain …. I will remember my dream in the morning.” Repeat this to yourself as you drift off to sleep.

In the morning, wake slowly, and don’t open your eyes or move. Think back to what the last thing you were thinking about. Bring your loved ones to mind. Many times this will spark a remembrance of a dream. Write your images down in your diary. Even if all you wake up with is a feeling, write it down. Don’t give up. Sometimes, it takes a few days, or even weeks, to train yourself to remember your dreams.

To be able to figure out the message contained in your dream, realize that all your dream symbols are unique to you. You’re the best dream dictionary there is for you because you wrote the book on you.

First, write one sentence to describe your dream. Then, write down all the metaphors, symbols, any slang or puns, the characters and settings. Describe each element as if you were from another planet. Don’t say “Jimmy Stewart” is a movie star, but a man who played characters with integrity.

In one dream, I had a valuable stone that was very rough. I described it as “needing polishing.” When I heard myself say that, I realized that the direction I was going in my life was going to be of value to me, but that it needed more work, “to be polished” and finished.

Dreams are such a treasure trove of riches for us. Put on your miner’s cap, and begin to uncover the messages to yourself buried deep in your own mind.

Through the ups and downs of life, it can seem at times, as though the quality of our lives is dependent on the people, situations, and conditions of the world around us. Yet, to become the powerful creator of our lives, we must be willing to see beyond this short-sighted view of ourselves and our lives.

Whether we are aware of it or not, the choice each of us is constantly making is the choice of picking between heaven or hell. The truth is, every moment, each of us decides. There is no outside force that decides. We choose it every moment.

The comedy is that even though we have the choice — usually people pick the experience of hell over heaven.

To see whether you are currently living in heaven or hell, look around your life. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being hell and 10 being heaven, where would you rank your life?

This week, observe your thoughts and words.

How often and about what do you complain?

How often and about what are you disappointed?

At what frequency do you wish things could be different than they are?

How often are others letting you down and not meeting your expectations?

How often are you letting yourself down?

Focusing on complaints, disappointments, should be’s, and unmet expectations creates the illusion of hell.

To have a life a bliss, you must be willing to challenge the assumption that the root of our dissatisfaction is really about the complaints and unmet expectations that dribble out uncontrollably out of your mouth.

Step One: Clean up your thoughts and language.

Catch yourself before that same old complaint indomitably burps out of your mouth. Choose your language carefully.

Before you tell yourself, “I have to wash the dishes,” notice that you really don’t have to. Even if you’re at gunpoint — which I entirely doubt you are — it’s still a choice — to do the dishes or not.

Adjust your language to be both more accurate and empowering. An example would be, “I choose to wash the dishes now rather than later, because I know how great it feels to walk into a clean kitchen.”

Step Two: See the real issue beneath the illusion.

The subject of your complaints and unmet expectations are a facade of the deeper issue that is really the culprit for your life feeling more like struggle and pain than joy and bliss.

The culprit lies inside choosing self-worth over self-hate.

Step Three: Expose underlying beliefs and assumptions.

How you make the choice between heaven or hell — or self-worth and self-hate depends on your assumptions and beliefs of whether you feel worthy, good enough or deserving of happiness.

To take yourself from hell to heaven, you must consistently choose to find inner value and inner worth. To do this, you must be willing to become deeply aware of your Self. You must see what overshadows your feelings of worth, so you can send love, kindness and compassion to those places. Otherwise, your experience of life will always be painful.

Step Four: Accept that you already live in and deserve heaven.

Much of our socializing has taught us to believe that “life is hard,” and “you have to suffer,” and “you must endure this life” to get the bliss of heaven in your next life.

Challenge these beliefs.

Rather than living this life trying to earn your way to heaven in the next, begin today and every day grounded in the assumption that not only are you are already worthy and deserving of heaven — but you are already there. All you have to do is claim it.

Step Five: Illuminate your worthiness.

if you want to “go to heaven,” it is your journey to illuminate your worthiness of bliss today. The amount of pain and struggle you feel in your life is inversely related to your feelings of worthiness. The more self-love and self-worth you have, the less the pain and struggle you will experience.

Every moment, you are the one who decides heaven or hell. When you decide that you are not worthy of heaven, by default you will experience hell, and thus so will be color of your life.

Step Six: Make self-love your #1 responsibility.

Self-love occurs when you recognize your value and worth. It becomes who you are, when you set your life in alignment with your inner wisdom

I wrote an article this month, “There’s Always A Silver Lining,” in which I explored four possibilities that the challenges in your life are trying to teach you. Shortly after writing it, I came up with a fifth one.

Expanding Too Fast
This is especially true of business, and of the recent housing crisis. Businesses can expand faster than they can handle, and eventually run out of road. A recession comes along, or some other bump, and they have to retreat. What they’re doing is taking a few steps back, eliminate what’s not working well, and solidifying their position. When they begin to move forward again, they’re healthier and stronger.

The same can be said of people who got into mortgages they couldn’t support. Some people will be able to get the banks to work out a loan modification that they can afford. And for others, the best thing may simply be to let go of the house and move into something that is more reasonable and less stressful. It’s hard to make that choice, and let go of a home you love. But if it’s draining your financial, physical, mental and emotional resources, then it’s not for your greatest good.

Expansion and reduction is a natural cycle. When you have to prune your bushes, more grows next season. The same can be said for letting go of expanding too quickly. Pruning what is too heavy or too costly can make your life picture healthier. And when it’s time to expand again, you’ll be ready and be able to come from a position of strength.

Every negative experience that you have has a gift for you. It might not feel like it when you get laid off, your significant other dumps you, or you lose your house. But since you create your own reality, you created the situation for a reason. Its purpose is to help you to expand into a greater potential of who you are.

Seek out what the gift might be. There is always a lesson to learn from every challenge you have, otherwise it wouldn’t be a challenge. Here are some possibilities that the experience might be trying to teach you.

Develop A Quality
You may need to learn another positive quality, such as patience, persistence, compassion, empathy, or some other character attribute. In these cases, you’re being called on to develop and exercise that quality.

If you don’t fight against developing it (as some people do), then you could receive a great gift that propels you forward in accessing your highest potential.

Accept Yourself More Fully
You could be hitting a wall that is actually your shadow side, a part of yourself that you negate, abandon and ignore. This could be anything from avoiding owning your authority in your life, suppressed anger, empowerment, or something else. These aspects show up in other people that reflect your shadow back to you. You may have problems with authority, people around you have anger issues, or someone who takes advantage of you.

Once you acknowledge and accept these parts of yourself, the energy in your environment (the wall) generally dissipates. And you’re no longer wasting energy resisting these characteristics, which gives you greater ability to create what you want.

Wake Up
The reason for the situation may simply be to wake you up. It’s like a cosmic brick, that metaphorically hits you over the head, and gets bigger (and the situation gets worse) the more you ignore it. This is true if you’re in an abusive relationship or situation, or have a sudden health challenge.

In an abusive relationship, you may need to recognize your worth and leave. If you have a pattern of this, you need to figure out what’s going on that causes you to keep attracting it. Once you know what it is, you can heal it so you can have more satisfying relationships. No matter whether it’s a relationship, health, or something else, it’s trying to get your attention so you will make positive changes in your life and lifestyle.

Check Your Focus
Are you focusing on what you don’t want, rather than what you do want? You could be thinking more about what you’re lacking, therefore that’s what shows up in your life. It’s the Law of Attraction in action. What you focus on, with energy and emotion, will appear in your life.

No matter what the challenge, its purpose is to propel you into a greater good. When you look for the positive in it, this helps you progress and achieve a new level of life. It also sets the subconscious to develop, create or find the benefit in the situation. Even if it feels like the end of the world, look for the gift. You may be surprised at what you find.

Affirmation

I let go of my resistance to this experience, and open myself up to seek the gift it has for me. Since I create my own reality, I’ve created this situation to teach me something. I cooperate with it, allow myself to become aware of what it might be, and make the changes I need to. I may not know how or what, but something wonderful is coming out of this situation for me.
