 I recently watched Oprah interview Brene Brown, the author of Daring Greatly. “Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence” says Oprah who lives her life in the face of vulnerability. Oprah can be breathtakingly real and open. She says that is what makes the difference to her connection to her audience. She aims to live as a whole hearted person and take the risks. Really we are just like everybody else and allowing vulnerability gives you confidence. What you really need in life is to be more of your self. What does this mean? Daring greatly is to show up and be seen. Brene discussed the the following comments related to her research into what people believe is vulnerability. People want to hear that you are there for them. Don’t be the one who avoids that call and feels ashamed when you see them a few months later at the shops. There are times when everyone needs support. We are all vunerable at times. Listen, Listen, Listen. First date after my divorce Trying to get pregnant after my third miscarriage Sitting with my wife who has stage 4 breast cancer making plans for our young children Phoning a person who has had a great loss. I believe it is valuable to be authentic. This is along the same lines as the above discussion on vulnerability. It includes the concept of lightening up on your self judgement. You see if you believe you always have to be right, when you make a mistake, you take it out on yourself, beat yourself up! If you can let it go, accept that you are human, you can accept others when they are less than perfect. It opens the door to you being more realistic, and having better relationships with others.

You have two seeds to plant in the soil. One is corn, the other is Deadly Nightshade (the name says it all). The soil doesn't care which you plant, and which you tend to….even if you let weeds grow - it doesn't care. Now if the soil is your mind - imagine what results you will get because you literally reap what you sow! WHAT EVER you imagine, you attract because your mind doesn't know the difference between an imagined experience (like your fear of losing your job) or the fact that really your job is secure, but you worry a lot about everything! Try this…. Imagine biting into a lemon. If you area like most people, you will start to salivate and swallow, and your lips will probably curl up at the thought. Your subconscious mind didn't know the difference between fact and imagination did it? PROMISE YOURSELF to replace negative with positive thoughts NEVER to put yourself down, or accept put downs from others (your trillions of cells hear what you tell them) Write down your goal and look at it daily IMAGINE yourself and your life how you would like it to be - remember your subconscious doesn't know the difference  Did you know that being grateful could make you not only happier, but healthier as well? Each day tell someone three new things you have experienced that day that helped you feel a sense of gratitude, and you can increase your happiness by up to 70%, according to findings by psychologists. Why not share this practice with your loved ones and it may help you connect on a deeper level. Even young kids who don't comprehend war and hunger overseas will find it easier to appreciate our lifestyle on a personal level. Improvements in mental health, happiness and measurable changes in the energy from your heart have positive effects on your physical state of being. There is only one catch – you need to use this powerful positive exercise for 21 days to program your thinking to positive. What is not to love about life near Bribie Island?

Water molecules change according to their experiences! Dr Masaru Emoto proved this by examining frozen water molecules. Beautiful snowflake patterns are found in water from pristine environments, but these molecules lose their beauty when subjected to negative written or spoken words, sounds or pictures. Likewise impure or polluted water has molecules that are plain or ugly, and exposure to beautiful pictures, positive thoughts or words, or symphonic music transforms its molecular appearance. Our bodies contain around 70% of water. What shape are your molecules? Is your body exposed to beautiful sights and sounds and positive uplifting words with good intentions? If thoughts can do this to water, what can they do to us? Is it time for change? ( www.masaru-emoto.net/english/)  Racing car drivers warn that if you wish to avoid something in your path, whatever you do, keep your eyes off it! It would serve us well to keep this in mind as we navigate along our path in life. Many times our focus is magnetized to the things we don’t want, and…you guessed it – that is what we manifest. As the classic book by McWilliams is titled “You can’t afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought – A book for people with any life-threatening illness- including life.” When we use techniques to manage our patterns of thought, life delivers a positive outcome. Happy thinking!
 What have you been thinking about lately? What do you feed your mind? Unfortunately much of our entertainment is laced with death and destruction. Our subconscious does not sort out fact from fiction, and when we constantly bombard ourselves with fear based programs or information, some of it filters in. Repetition is the way we establish our memory, and this is part of the reason studies have shown how desensitized we become to destructive thought patterns when we are exposed to violence. Children have lower brain wave states than adults, leaving them with little defence and extremely susceptible to this kind of “brain food”. Worth thinking about?

How can you wind down to manage stress? The one thing you can control is the way you think. Stress is not all bad; in fact stress is part of your internal motivation. Observe your thoughts. Are they positive or negative? Many of us are constantly bombarded with mindless chatter from self-talk (I call it the babbler). Do you get any rest from your babbler? Moments of quiet equate to inner peace. Gaps without thought even for a few seconds will give your mind some relief. With practice you can increase this break in thinking and when you do, you will find you are well on your way to happiness. After all, peace and happiness are what we ultimately desire – would you agree? Cathy Rodwell. www.mindlinkhypnotherapy.com.au Cathy presents regular seminars on various self-help topics. |
