Feelings influence your experience. And your thoughts influence your feelings. If you want to know why your experience is the way it is, then take a closer look at your thoughts. The great thing about this is that thoughts can be changed.

Feelings
Feelings are signals. They can be caused by different factors, most notably thoughts. And, not all thoughts are true. It's wise not to get swept away by feelings, because their causes aren't always benevolent. So, learn how to let the feelings come, go, and pass through, without taking you along the ride with them. They're … Continue reading Feelings
Careful
Be careful with the words you say. And, not only the ones you say to others, but the ones you silently say to yourself. Words have power. They represent the thoughts you think and the feelings you feel. Be careful with how you use them. Because, even if you apologize, and say that you didn't … Continue reading Careful

Feelings can get away from us, and there's no controlling them. But you don't need to. Simply choose your thoughts, and the feelings follow. Choosing your thoughts isn't easy, but it is the simple process of dealing with your feelings.
Feelings
Most people let their feelings run the show. Their feelings determine how life unfolds. But, this is backwards. Feelings shouldn't lead, they follow. Make no mistake, there is no way to stifle feelings once they're out. So, that's why you should be aware of how they come about. They're created by your thoughts. More directly, … Continue reading Feelings

Care
The cool thing now, seems to be to show that you don't care. To show that you are so unbothered by anything to let it stop you from racing ahead in life. But, the truth is that you are not without feelings, and that race you think you're on is an illusion. Also, you wouldn't … Continue reading Care

Vulnerable

Sometimes you'll wish you didn't have to feel your feelings at all. Life isn't static, and to live it means you'll constantly be awash in any number and variety … Continue reading Sometimes
Feel it Real
In order to manifest something into your life, you have to mentally visualize it, and also feel it as if it's already happening.

Self-Talk
Pay attention to your self-talk. I was struggling with an issue recently.

That's when a … Continue reading Self-Talk
Greatness
When you feel judged, it's best to remember that your feelings come from your thoughts. The judgement you're feeling is coming from your own perspective. That feeling of being judged is coming directly from yourself. That realization is empowering, because it reveals that you are in charge of your perceptions. Your perceptions are what dictate … Continue reading Greatness

I believe that if you're having trouble with a decision in life, particularly on deciding if choosing one way is the right choice, then that means that it is not. The best choice is to stop struggling with a decision. The decision is no. The best course of action is to move on from this … Continue reading Decisions

Forgiveness is not One-and-Done
Practicing forgiveness is so important for your mental health. Forgiveness helps free you from the burden of being weighed down by anger and resentment. But it doesn't have to be such a significant and ultimate decision. I recently heard author Glennon Doyle give this great description of forgiveness. She said, Forgiveness is not a before … Continue reading Forgiveness is not One-and-Done

We become what we consume and think about all day long. That's why it's important to be mindful of what kind of information and media we fill ourselves up with.
