grow your business

I want to share some words of inspiration from one of my favorite authors and teachers, Louise Hay and I hope this brightens your day!

In this busy times we live in, it can be easy to let things throw you off track or have a negative impact on your day. Perhaps it’s an unpleasant situation or something with your work that’s frustrating you. Or maybe even some kind of issue with someone in your life that’s challenging you.

Let’s face it, we live in a world filled with negative messages everywhere we turn. And it’s hard to escape what’s unfolding around us in the world of media, politics, environment, finances, social justice and more.

The only thing consistent is life is consistent change.

But when things happen that make you feel any kind of negative emotion, whether sadness, fear, jealousy or anger, it’s important to always take a step back and reevaluate.

Ultimately, the only thing you can control is how you respond to a situation and the extent to which you allow it to affect you. There is no one else in your mind except you, and you have control over the thoughts you choose to think.

And I’m not saying that you just think happy thoughts or say positive affirmations and magically all of your problems go away. Sometimes it’s normal to be angry, sad, worried and such, it’s part of being human.

But, when you keep focusing only on these negative emotions it becomes like an emotional crock pot that keeps stewing all of the same stuff over and over, which only keeps you feeling bad.

Ultimately, no one or no experience can make you feel bad unless you continue to allow it to. No one else lives in your mind but you.

So the first step to resolving a situation or to feeling better, is to change what you’re thinking about. Thoughts of anger or worry or doubt only create more of that same energy and won’t help you be able to create an effective solution.

It doesn’t mean you accept bad things or act as if it’s OK. Rather, you approach it proactively and from a place of empowerment. When you empower yourself, you are able to empower those around you through your example.

And, after you change your focus to solutions and action, it’s much easier to take action to get back on track or resolve a challenge. You’ll be motivated to do what you need to do to get back into your own happy and prosperous flow.

I’m not saying it’s always easy, I know sometimes life throws you curve balls, some big and some small. But when you get past the challenge and learn from it you’ll be a much more enlightened person and better for it.

So, the next time something goes “wrong” in your day remember to stop, take a breath and then proactively respond. See it for what it is, and don’t let any negative energy or negative people take you out of your own personal power.

This takes so much less energy than staying upset or in reaction mode. 🙂

I’m wishing you a wonderful day filled with loving people and happy experiences.

Thank you for being part of my wonderful coaching community!

Love and success,

It’s Robert here, writing to share some thoughts to inspire you to embrace your life and the world in even more positive ways.

As you know, there’s a lot going on in the world right now and so much transition for so many people. There’s political strife and change, health concerns, economic issues, environmental concerns, and it’s affecting so many people around the world.

I actually don’t watch the news because it’s often so biased and negative.

But there’s something you must keep in mind. Even when things around you are not how you’d like them to be, you have power over two things:
 

1. What you think and talk about
2. How focused you are on the present moment
 

Sometimes it can be challenging, though, since many people (and the mass media) often talk about problems and fear and negativity.

But YOU are not like most people, you’re a health and wellness entrepreneur who understands and who cares about other people and stands up for what they believe in.

So it’s important to move away from the programmed fear thinking so prevalent out there, and into an optimistic mindset and outlook.

And start to recognize how your thoughts, beliefs and habits affect your happiness, success, and what you accomplish in your business and life.

So, take time each day to become what I call a “conscious observer” of your thoughts.

Do you focus on the good you already have, on what you want to manifest and the goals you’d like to achieve?

Or do you dwell in what’s not working and the problems you have, or problems in the world?

And I’m not suggesting that you only have to think happy thoughts, pray or meditate and good things will magically unfold. You also have to take action to make the goals a reality and seek out support to help you get there.

We all face challenging situations, it’s part of being human. But if you spend more time worrying about problems instead of solutions, you’ll not grow as quickly nor feel as good.

So be honest and notice you’re thinking about. If any worry or fear comes up just simply catch yourself thinking in that pattern, and turn it around.

Ask yourself, “What can I focus on now to help me reach this goal (overcome this challenge, create the success I want) so I can be happy and prosperous?”

There are an infinite number of thoughts you can think and you are the only one in control of which ones you choose.

I believe that we all deserve to feel good and have love in our lives, and the first step is to take a look in the mirror and consider how you can create more love and compassion in your own mind.

And as you do this, one day at a time, you’ll see so many more possibilities open up for you. You’ll also ATTRACT different people and situations into your life, as you change your energy and vibration.

What you put out is a magnet and it draws back the people places and experiences that are of similar energy. 🙂

I believe in you and I want you to succeed and I’m so honored to have you in my community of health and wellness professionals.

Much love and support,

Robert
