Hello again!

OH yessssss—-we all have those times when you need a little (or a lot of)  help to bounce back!!

Maybe it seems as if everything is friggin happening at once–and it’s not exactly the happy stuff either–OR maybe you are just having a bit of a rough patch—OR maybe you are just a wee bit dejected about something that didn’t go the way you wanted.

WHATEVER it is—-be it in the area of family, career, financial, love or a little bit of everything—this declaration statement can make the difference and bring the pep back in your step, your heart and your life!

When we have these times in our life—it is so easy to just slip into a sort of lackluster, sort of defeated, sort of miserable state. If it’s really big life stuff–then it can be totally overwhelming and you may even wonder how you are going to survive this, never mind come out on the positive end!

I have an answer –and a sure fire way to feel an immediate shift in your energy.

Remember—– you attract what you are —and if what you are feeling is overwhelmed and defeated and just sort of miserable……then………………………………………….

Uh oh.

I think I need not finish that sentence–because it is pretty clear what you will attract into your life–and there is NO WAY that will help you feel better in the way that you want to!

Here is your answer–and your declaration that will kick start your bounce back!

Remember you can tailor it to fit your situation be it a big or small life event.

Just say it out loud—or write it down and recite it as many times as you want—loud and clear!

Here you go—-

“I have NO idea why this stuff is happening!!!!  BUT—-I DO KNOW THIS — Something big and amazing is coming. Bigger and better than I can even imagine. I just know it. I am not going through ALL this for NOTHING. I know that something great is right around the corner. I am absolutely sure I am not going through all this for nothing! “

Once you say this—you WILL  notice an immediate shift and the message that sends out to the Universe is pretty darn clear and powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boingggg!!  Boingggggg!!

Happpppppy Friday!

Soooooo you should see my Hydrangea Bush! I live in the fog belt and it is flourishing. Must have been that Miracle Grow stuff—and then I have an ah ha moment!

I heard recently— ENERGY GROWS WHERE ENERGY GOES—-

Yup—and here’s my ah ha moment— I realize that whatever I’m putting my energy on is just like putting Miracle Grow on what I’m giving my energy to!!!!

Now–not that this is really a new concept for me– HOWEVER–thinking of it in this way really jolted me—I had this quick movie of my recent life float by and I joyfully saw how that Miracle Grow concept had brought to bloom incredible– and I do mean incredible–successes that I had directed energy and focus to— hooray —-wellllllll—- then—- eweeeeeeeeeee- — I was treated to  a wee little view of that ole Miracle Grow concept growing what I was surely not wanting.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa —let me reign this in! Soooooo–my energy in a particular area I was working on was going to– focused on— the ABSENCE OF what I was working on bringing in!

Now this strategy was not exactly on my to do list!!

I took a deep breath–ok quite a few deep breaths– and shifted–yesssssssss—to what I intended to bring in– the overwhelming yummy good ENERGY I was feeling was immediate. It happens that fast— indeed we are that powerful!

ENERGY GROWS WHERE ENERGY GOES!!!!!

Soooooo off I go equipped with plenty of Miracle Grow—enthusiastically anticipating the blooms of my redirected energy!

P.S. There is a summertime special on Miracle Grow—get some now!! 🙂

Hello—

Happy 4th of July!

How about answering that ding dong and opening that door to your freedom???

Hmmm—but how you may ask?? Simple–just answer it with the “F” word!!

Whaaaaaaaaaat you say?? Yup—the ‘F” word is the one thing that will free you COMPLETELY.

I don’t know about you–but I’m all over that one. Anything that will free me up to be lighter, happier and more centered has my attention!

Now that I have your attention 🙂 –allow me to elaborate.

OK—Imagine that life is a river–now keep in mind that EVERYTHING you want in life is downstream—it makes sense then to want to go with the flow. Nothing you want is upstream- you just gotta trust me on that. Now–sometimes it seems as if we sort of stall or seem to get stuck. You want to go with the flow—but your friggin proverbial boat just doesn’t seem to be cooperating. You really want to free yourself up and head on downstream with your dreams, passions and goals.

Hmmmm–you wonder. Maybe there might be a little river cleanup that has to occur so you can freely float downstream. I mean after all–you know what going with the flow feels like.  Yup—you really do flow, things happen,. you feel happy and it just feels plain old good. When that is not occurring–it’s just time for some cleanup!

Here is where the “F” word comes in. Sometimes our river gets blocked with some not so pretty stuff. Sometimes we just don’t know how to unblock it.

Ta da! Let’s bring in that “F” word now and clean this out and let freedom in.

FORGIVENESS. Yup–the “F” word. Powerful and potent. A game changer for sure.

Forgiveness frees you from the ties that bind you –and I mean it–they really do bind you.

It doesn’t matter whether you were right, they were right, you were wronged, you were hurt really badly, whether promises were broken or not kept, whether you felt unfairly treated —I mean the list could go on forever.

You really have to forgive everyone, whether they are here now in your life, whether they were once a part of your life, whether they have passed on, whether they know you were or are hurt or not.

You really have to forgive them all. …TO FREE YOU. It doesn’t mean you have to like what happened–it doesn’t mean you have to agree with what happens –it just means that in order to FREE YOU–you have to forgive and let it go!  They do not even need to know you forgive them. It is NOT for them–it is for you.

You release you from the ties that bind.

I must add that one of the most important people to forgive is YOU, the current you, the you of yesterday or maybe the you from a long time ago with all those regrets. PUT YOURSELF ON THE LIST.

It is not difficult. I use the process I have on my Forgiveness CD all the time. I regularly clear my stuff out–cause I want to go with my flow!

This Forgiveness CD can be purchased on my website under products—and is a life saver.

There is a lot of good stuff out there on how to forgive. Find what resonates with you and do it.

You can also do a simple little process:

Make a list–either on paper or in your mind–and as each person, including “you” comes to mind—simply say:

I bless you, I forgive you and I release you….you may need to repeat once or twice more.

Keep breathing through this—and see the person just floating off to their highest good -as the ties that bound you to them are released. Feel the rush of freedom and lightness as you do this.

REMEMBER–it is YOU that you are freeing. Literally—in any given moment we all are doing the best we can in that moment-and then when we know better we have an opportunity to do better.

What do you say that you practice the “F” word and let your freedom ring!

HELLO!!

Well–OK–maybe you don’t even have a toaster 🙂 —HOWEVER—all appliances must be plugged in to work–right? Let’s think about that one for a moment. Even the shiniest, latest model, top of the line, built to last, energy efficient model of anything will simply NOT work–unless it is plugged in.

By now you are saying—OK Gail –duh—I get that –of course THAT makes perfect sense.

Sooooo—-what if you applied that simple common sense thinking to you— yup—that whole plug in thing.

Hmmmm—how often do you run and run and run—-and feel sort of off—not quite right, off balance, disconnected, off kilter, uneasy, anxious, overwhelmed, or the ever popular one of being stressed out?????

Now come on—if a machine needs to be plugged in to work–and get it’s juice–so to speak—don’t ya think that you do to???

YES—-YES—-YES!! Honestly this can be viewed in lots of different ways—in terms of what you are actually plugging in to and how to do it.

Some call it the Universe, the Energy, God, Higher Power, Spirit, or some simply might feel that plugging in–is just about recharging your batteries.

Here’s the deal—whatever you call it or view it as—JUST FRIGGIN DO IT!

The moment you do—you WILL feel the palpable difference. Trust me.

Its a funny thing that we tend to go and go and gooooooooooo—-sometimes and very often using up all our reserves and then some! We can tend to put off the plugging in part—till later. I’ll do it soon, we say, or as soon as I have more time—then I will—and on and on we go–wondering why we just don’t feel right, and things seem a little haywire, or we are just not quite in our power or flow.

Plugging in may mean taking a walk, a 3 minute meditation, deep breathing (5 of them is the magic instant fix ), listening to rocking and happy music, listening to quiet music, sitting at the ocean watching the waves, just STOPPING and being quiet for a few minutes, taking a bath, listening to a meditation CD, visualizing yourself being connected to the energy of all that is, laughing (one of my favs), just being fully present in the moment  and being aware of all your surroundings, or pausing and appreciating  6 things—or if you feel like it just go on a full rampage of appreciation!

The point is–to find your plug in–that works for you and do it.

Your resourcefulness AND creativity will instantly increase.

You will feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel how good it feels to be plugged in—sort of like an instant inside massage!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi!

Pretty darn good friggin question –huh???

Now I know I am dating myself just a bit with the Robert Redford one—but I still think he is VERY hot—and Kevin Costner with all that boyish charm—-YIKES——Okeedokie—I will come back to earth and to the point at hand—-

We all have heard it said so many times that ‘Thoughts become things’.

Is it really true? Do all our dominant thoughts actually really materialize? Wellllllll of course not, or all of us would be living our fantasies and giving up the day job, to live on a vineyard in Italy—or on our yacht, or with Robert Redford—or the hot young flavor of the month.

The whole ‘thoughts become things’…thing… has been repeated so often that it’s sort of a cliché now. But what does it really mean and, more importantly, is it true?

Well, many people will tell you that it translates very literally. Every thought you ever had, are currently having or ever will have is alive and well  somewhere in the Universe just waiting to interact with something else, take solid form and manifest into our lives as a physical thing.

REALLY????????????????????

Well, honestly –given that no one can either prove or disprove it by any means that scientists agree on being accurate, it’s a bit of a moot point. That said, we do know from physics that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it merely changes form. That is a scientifically proven point!

Hmmm—so from this one perspective alone then a thought IS already a thing…..

But—- can that thought energy be manipulated and used to bring what’s in your mind to life?

HOLY MOLY—-That is the real question– isn’t it?

Well, you only need to look around you for your answer!

Every single piece of clothing you’re wearing right now, every piece of jewelry, the house you’re standing in, the car in your driveway, all of it, every last thing started out as a thought in someone’s head yet now as you glance around you it’s a real thing in real life.

These thoughts have already become things, right?

But the thoughts become things crowd aren’t really using the statement in this way are they? They’re saying that any thought held for long enough in your mind must, by law, become that thing in reality.

“Think enough about earning a million dollars and it’s yours”.

That’s what we tend to hear…

It is true???—— trust me—there is more to it than this.

If it were as simple as we’ve been told—- then 16 year old boys would be the happiest people on earth.

You’re gonna love this—

Ok—Just ask your average hot-blooded 16 year old boy what they’re thinking about and if they’re honest enough to answer they’ll tell you that they’re thinking of— girls, girls, girls.

Doesn’t matter where they are, what they’re doing or who they’re with, they’ve got girls on their mind in some way, shape or form. Anybody who’s been around 16 year old boys—knows that to be true!

Now—using the law of –“thoughts becoming things” — the likelihood of this young boy achieving his goal of manifesting at least one girl into his room is pretty high.

After all, he’s thinking about them all the time, he’s certainly desirous of having his girl–ooops— I mean goal—- come to life and his thoughts are so consistent and intense that he should practically be able to materialize a girl in front of him right now….just like a genie!

Yet that doesn’t quite happen does it?

Not for this teenage boy, not for the house you want or the car, the relationship  or the money either.

Here’s why.

Thoughts DON’T become things.

Thoughts CAN become things.

Are you just a bit confused?

Don’t be– it’s pretty simple to understand.

It means this; just because you think about a thing, it doesn’t mean it will appear in your life. You think thousands of thoughts a day yet you don’t see them all magically appear around you– do you? In fact, most of the things you think about don’t show up in your life at all.

But—- they could.

Ok—here we go—are you ready for the answer????

If you had the EMOTION and then took the ACTION required to turn a thought into a thing you could take any thought and bring it to life.

The best way to understand what I’m talking about is this.

Just because you bought all the ingredients for a chocolate cake, doesn’t mean you’ll be eating cake for dessert tonight does it?

There are things you have to do to take the yummy pile of ingredients on your kitchen counter to turn them into a scrumptious dessert or they’ll simply remain ingredients won’t they?

You have to weigh, measure, mix and cook them in just a certain way before they make the transformation from ingredients to the end result of your intention—- a deeeeelicious chocolate cake don’t you?

It doesn’t matter how much you think of the cake, how positive you are, how good you feel or anything else you may have read about bending the Universe to your will, the truth is, if you want to be eating cake after dinner tonight, you have to DO something to those ingredients.

Thinking alone just won’t cut it.

So back to — turning your thoughts into things.

The great news is that it’s a pretty friggin simple process to make the transformation .

It looks like this:

Thoughts ==>Feelings ==> Emotions ==> Actions ==> Results (Things)

Let me explain it a little more. This is six-year old simple—and I like simple.

Thoughts when held long enough create feelings of some kind.

Feelings held long enough become emotions.

Emotions when intensified enough drive us to take certain actions.

Actions create reactions or, what we would call results or ‘things’.

VOILA!

Nothing too mind-shattering there. Hardly rocket science is it?

Yet —do NOT let the simplicity of this success ‘recipe’ fool you.

It is the most powerful thing you’ll ever learn in your lifetime. It’ll bring you anything you want!

Here’s how.

1. Think about the thing you desire –and BE SPECIFIC.  Remind yourself about how serious you are about having it come to life by writing it down on a card or piece of paper, carrying that card with you everywhere you go.

2. Strengthen those thoughts by paying attention to how you feel about the goals. Make yourself positive, optimistic and truly excited by getting it. If you do not feel good about the goal—then it is the wrong goal!! This is a major point to pay attention to!

*** Remind yourself as often as possible that it’s not a matter of IF you will achieve your goal or not, but WHEN.

3. Strengthen your feeling about the goal by becoming truly passionate about having it come true in your life. Add as much emotion to the thoughts as you possibly can by listening to uplifting music, dancing, laughing and engaging in other positive experiences while thinking about it. Take NO MORE than 5 minutes a day—to visualize your goal—and see yourself IN the picture—and then ADD the feelings…lots of feelings…..and remember it needs to feel really really good—I mean luscious, yummy good—the kind of feelings that automatically bring a smile to your face.

4. Use the feelings and passion for your specific goal to motivate you into taking at least one small action toward it every day without fail. Come on now—one small action—towards that which you so deeply desire—is way not too much to ask!

It doesn’t get any simpler than that, does it?

Now here’ s the thing— you could just jump straight into the final step of taking action, like a lot of people do, but you really gotta —I mean really gotta—have the emotion and feeling to fuel you to keep moving forward…….consistently.

So—how about some chocolate cake tonight?????

Oh yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
