I found this article on my Facebook feed this morning and thought I’d pass it along to you.

“15 Things That Emotionally Strong People Don’t Do,” by Paul Hudson, is a quick look at some of the “habits” we should have to remain strong. And if we don’t have them, they’re easy enough to implement.

Loss

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over,
it became a butterfly.
— Anonymous

If you’ve experienced a loss, perhaps the death of a friend/partner, a relationship, or even a pet, remember to celebrate in memory the joy and happiness that was brought to your life from having him or her in it.

We can’t change the cycle of life, but we can change our perspective. Instead of focusing on just that sorrowful ending, look back to the happy days and let those feelings envelop and embrace you.

You’ll know you’ve succeeded when you find yourself smiling.

Time decides who you meet in life,
your heart decides who you want in your life,
and your behavior decides who stays in your life.

An article by Sara Childre, President, Institute of HeartMath

Now and then we all take a moment to look at the life we are living and daydream about how our futures will look. So, take one of those moments right now, and rather than “thinking” about what the future might look like based on your life as it is now, do the following:

Look as deeply as you can into your heart and visualize the future you’ve always truly desired, the one that fills your heart with joy whenever you imagine it.

In that simple exercise, you have glimpsed what HeartMath calls your heart blueprint.

Book Review: You Are the Placebo

JDPlacebo02A couple years ago, I read Christian D. Larson’s The Ideal Made Real (1912). It’s about purposely creating a life—the ideal life—in your mind first, and through conscious focus, making that ideal life become your world, your reality.

When I started reading Dr. Joe Dispenza’s You Are the Placebo (released April, 2014), I was immediately reminded of Larson’s book. There is one huge and significant difference, though. Dispenza cites source upon source to back up what he writes about. Larson did not have this luxury when he published his book; there just weren’t that many studies going on that he could cite for proof to back up what he was espousing.

Summer Loneliness?

Happiness, Love, Wayne Dyer

“You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.”
— Wayne Dyer

It’s summer in the northern hemisphere, and that means people get out of the house and fill their days with a multitude of activities. Picnics and cookouts, parties, swimming, road trips, boat trips, family reunions, and on and on.

Who could ever feel lonely with all that’s going on, right?

But even in the midst of crowds, of friends and family, we are quite alone within our own minds.

Like building a friendship over time with another person, remember to build the friendship with yourself. It’s an ongoing process, not a one-time task.

Happiness, Mike Dooley, Possibilities

I find that a lot of people love quotes. Inspirational quotes. I know I do.

The friends and family I follow on Facebook, even the coaches, speakers and other gurus, they all post quotes now and then. Some are really great. Some are common sense quotes. Some are just downright fun to read.

If you know Mike Dooley, you probably know about his “Notes from the Universe” quotes.

I stumbled upon the film Inner Worlds Outer Worlds (by Daniel Schmidt) on Youtube. It’s new to me, perhaps to you as well.

It’s an incredible piece, professionally done (with beautiful music), and freely available to everyone.

What’s it about?

Happiness, Melinda Csikos, Peacefulness, Thoughts, Tiny Buddha

Excerpt from “Be Who You Want to Be by Realizing You’re Not Who You Think,” by Melinda Csikos, posted on Tiny Buddha.

I believe we all go through dark phases when our image of ourselves breaks and we start thinking less of ourselves. This phase can pass after some time if we let it, but if we insist on clinging to the picture of ourselves in our minds, it will be harder to get through it.

The good news is: you are whoever you choose to be.

It’s not a coincidence that all the great spiritual masters spoke about detaching from our thoughts. Our thoughts do not represent reality. We are the ones who choose to believe that they are real, when, in fact, they have nothing to do with reality.

No matter what situation life presents us, we can always choose to view ourselves the way we want.

You can either view yourself as a victim or as the hero who lived through all the controversy. It’s all a matter of perspective.

Melinda has a very lovely website/blog with loads of great articles. Give yourself a few minutes to peruse it; you’ll be happy you did.
