Reprogramming Our Subconscious Minds to Live Heaven On Earth – #1 Prosperity

Our lifetime of experiences has lead us to believe things about those experiences which may or may not be true. Every time we've had an experience we've thought and said things about that experience.

That is why it… Continue reading Reprogramming Our Subconscious Minds to Live Heaven On Earth – #1 Prosperity

Overwhelmed? Time to Review Your Self-Care Strategy

Sometimes, being an adult truly sucks. We often mourn the carefree existence of our youth as we feel like we constantly face challenges in our lives. From planning dinner each day, ignoring the mountain of ironing that is growing in the corner, dealing with arseholes at work, never-ending to-do lists, health worries, money worries, childcare issues, aging parents, our own relationships with our partners and for some of us, perimenopause and all the joys that brings, it is little wonder we are feeling a tad stretched.

Doing Something Small Daily On Your Goals Leads To Motivation and Results

Break goals down into small manageable pieces. Each day and do something small on each one of them. Sometimes doing something small inspires you to work on it longer.

“Make the internal commitment to say yes to whatever arises in this moment” Eckhart Tolle

When we resist the current moment wanting something else, it causes suffering. I am relating to this currently because I have been wanting different things happening in my life than what are actually happening.
