It was a Speed Bump of Epic Proportions

Tuesday Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.– William James So I took a couple of unscheduled days off this week. I got hit with some crappy news, that threw me for a loop, and I needed time to regroup and come to terms with it.  It was a speed bump of epic proportions. What's interesting is the quotes for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday ALL work with this post, so I'm going to use them all! Wednesday You have three choices in life: give up, give in, or give it all you’ve got! - Unknown If I had done what certain people had wanted, I would have tucked my proverbial tail between my legs, packed my bags and moved on.  That's what other people wanted, but it's not what I wanted.  I decided to fight for what I wanted, and fight hard.  It's going to be an uphill battle, but I'm going to give it all I've got. Thursday You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.…

Sometimes, I Wonder Why

Sometimes, I wonder why.  No that would be a lie, I wonder why, all the time.  I wonder why about a lot of things.  Today I am wondering why about Think Positive 30.   Why am I doing this? That is a very good question.  I started out doing this for me, and for a dear, wonderful friend.  You can read the story in the about section, but the abridged version is we were whiny.  Our blogs were filled with negative crap, and she decided to post one positive thing a day.  Why?  Because all that negativity was bringing us down. I made a blog specifically for that, and Think Positive 30 was born.  From the blog (not this one) it morphed into a website thinkpositive30.com, and a mailing list.  I loved the mailing list.  But my web host kept flagging me for spam, even though people had to sign up for the email list.  I loved the email list beyond belief. It was a lot of work, but I loved it. But the flagging made me look for a different way to do it. I found the list I'm using now, Mail Chimp.  It's an amazing list, but it's…

7 Steps to INCREASE Your Money Flow

Today we have another awesome guest post from Erin Dickson of Gravity Life Coaching     Do you feel frustrated with your current financial situation and are looking to change it, but just don't know how?    When you grow up with certain ideas about money, you tend to internalize them and this actually blocks your flow of money, without even realizing it.  These ideas could be that there is a ceiling on how much money you can make, "money doesn't grow on trees", you have to work very hard just to get by or that money makes you happy or sad.    When you hold onto that mindset about money, you are blocking the flow of the money coming to you.  So how do you change it?   1.  Identify what your beliefs about money are. What ideas did you inherit about money from your parents?  Are you still holding onto these ideas?  How are they stopping you from meeting your full potential?   Listen to your own inner statements about money.  Give yourself 2 days to really listen to how you think about and talk about money.  What things do you find yourself saying?   Action Step:  Determine what…

2 Questions that will Change Your Life

Today's guest post was written by Erin Dickson an amazing life coach. 2 Questions That Will Change Your Life... Erin Dickson Gravity Life Coaching       When I was a few years out of college and stuck in a dead-end job – I was contemplating going back to graduate school to be a Guidance Counselor.  I knew I wanted to be a Guidance Counselor, but the process of getting there was a bit overwhelming.    I was living in an apartment by myself, working 2 jobs and discovered that I would need to do a 600-hour unpaid internship.  It was so overwhelming to look at the big picture -  because all I could think about was what could go wrong.  How could I possibly take a 6 month long unpaid full-time internship while paying rent?    That’s the question I was living in and that’s the question that stopped me from moving forward for so long.   When I was finally able to start living in a different question, I discovered how to move forward.  I wanted it to be a possibility, I wanted to make it happen and I knew that others made it happen.  If others made…

Manifesting What you REALLY Want! – The Secret BEHIND The Secret

It's not too often that I can actually say I am blown away by a video I watched online, but this really impressed me: --> Check them out here Like many of you, I have been struggling for years to make the Law of Attraction work for me, not knowing that I was actually going about using it THE WRONG WAY! You see, the key to using the Law of Attraction, and being able to manifest what you want and desire, is the proper use of visualization. The fact is, many people can't properly visualize and create an emotional connection to what they are seeing. All that has now changed thanks to “Abundant Mind” Abundant Mind is being called "The Netflix of Subliminal Manifestation" because it contains a massive library of powerful, full motion, high resolution visualization videos that can be streamed on any internet connected device. Unlike the visualization videos that already exist on the market, these are vastly superior because they use FIVE scientifically proven subconscious altering techniques. By using full motion themed video (not still images), a special audio track, affirmations, subliminal messages and binaural beats, these videos will completely change how you visualize and respond emotionally…

What if You Stopped Being Yourself – Chris Cade

When I think of experiences that provide me the most inner growth, I notice they all have a common thread: Whatever is going on is not representative of what I consider to be my “normal” everyday experience.

In the case of the last 6 months, trauma is definitely not a part of my historical everyday experience. Most of my life has been fairly enjoyable, peaceful, and lacking of major conflict. Sure I’ve had my challenges, but nothing that was truly horrifying (until last year).

And while I don’t advocate you go out looking for trauma, my experience has shown me that embracing it and working through the trauma has given me riches of personal growth beyond my imagination.

It was a step FAR beyond my normal experience, and the trauma challenged me every single day to live what I know to be true. It also challenged me to decide whether or not I’d continue to identify with who I was, or if I’d step up to the unbelievable challenge and become more of the incredible person that I am discovering and know myself to be.

Now, if you don’t want to be traumatized to step out of your “normal” experience, there are other ways. 🙂

Here’s a true story to illustrate… (more…)

She Gave Me the Finger, I Gave Her My Heart – Chris Cade

Though that may sound like like the name of a really bad country song, I assure you I haven't switched vocations to become a musician. :) See, the other day I was taking my son to preschool and I had an "interaction" with a driver. There is a highway interchange that was designed very poorly and has great potential for accidents. All the people in the left lane have to get over to the right lane (which turns very quickly), and all the people coming from the right lane (which is a curve) have to get over into the left lane. To compound the issue, those going from right to left have a metering light that brings traffic to a stop. During rush hour, it's a dangerous intersection. I was in the left lane, another woman in the right. I kindly slowed so that she'd be able to get into the lane in front of me. Then I'd be able to switch to the right. Unfortunately, she decided to also slow at the same time. We both came to an almost complete stop in the middle of traffic because within the 1 second we saw each other, we couldn't agree on…

Stop Feeling the Way You Know You Shouldn’t – Chris Cade

A while back I shared with you my thoughts about "The LIE About Positive Thinking."  Today, I'd like to expand on that topic in a different way. Specifically, the question is: Is it okay to have our thoughts? On the surface, it seems obvious. Of course it's fine to have our thoughts! But what if they're judgmental? Or so anti-Law Of Attraction that they're negative or hurtful? Shameful? Is it okay to have those thoughts too? I recall years ago that whenever I wanted to feel a specific kind of emotion, I'd change my music to something that mirrored what I wanted. If I wanted to feel energized, I put on Dream Theater, Van Halen, Metallica, or Robert Miles. If I wanted to feel mellow, I put on some Diana Krall, Enigma, or Enya. For whatever mood I wanted, I put in the music that would take me there. It wasn't until I ventured further down my spiritual path that I realized how detrimental that was to myself. I thought I was doing myself a favor by "picking myself up" naturally. Sort of like when you have a bad day, and a friend comes over and says, "Hey, let's go…

What it Means to “Hold On” to Your Pain – Chris caade

by Chris Cade Recently I shared with you a bit about happiness, and my friend Arina's explorations into the topic. While it's important to find ways to cultivate happiness, there's also a silent (or sometimes not-so-silent) killer of happiness: our pain. Many people hold onto their pain like a kind of "badge of honor." In fact, most of us have some aspect of our history, something painful or difficult, that we have a silent sense of pride about... as though when we tell the story, we know people will empathize with us. We'll be seen. We'll be comforted. In fact, we might even mistake the support we receive for a distorted illusion of happiness. Since that kind of connection between people feels supportive, we hold onto the story of our pain. We can tell the story again sometime (even if it's just to ourselves). The interesting thing about "holding onto our pain" is that it actually takes us away from happiness, authentic communication, and it prevents us from living our lives fully. When we "hold onto" our pain, when we bring our past difficult stories with us, what we're really saying is: "I don't want to be here, right now,…
