How Do You Change Negative Thoughts to a More Positive Mindset: Vol. 573, Dec. 10, 2020

This was a question that someone on Quora asked me and this is how I answered him: 

I believe there are many people who are battling negative thoughts these days, and I would have to say that I am among them. However, I can usually get myself out of these places because the one thing that I do know is that a thought is merely a ‘thought’ it is not reality.

The most important thing that you can do is to recognize what it is that is causing the negative thought because they come from somewhere. In my case, it is a paper that I need to write for my Masters – the Graduation Paper and I was having a very hard time figuring out how to move forward on it. After too many hours of research on a subject (actually a few related subjects), I finally sent an outline over to my professor for her to review. Because, this is the thing – many times we have negative thoughts because we are procrastinating on something that we know we have to do – so taking action is the way to turn that around.

If you are feeling upset about something that you said to someone – well, do what you need to do to forgive yourself for whatever you did and make a deal with yourself to not do it again.

If you are feeling upset because someone said something hurtful to you, again, remember that we are all human and will say stupid thoughtless things from time-to-time. Let it go.

Then get onto something that will bring you some joy be it some comedy on Youtube or Netflix or spending some time with a friend that knows how to get you laughing.

Because, this is the thing: We all go through times when we have some negative thoughts, but they can’t run us unless we allow them to, right?

Thanks for the question for all the other folks who will be reading the answer in the future.

 

We Create Our Own Reality: Vol. 572, Dec. 3, 2020

 
Many people are feeling frustrated and alone these days due to things that are outside of our ability to shift.
 
I am in the midst of listening to the audiobook “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle speaking of the difference between the “I am” as in “the I am that I am” that is the God in you versus the “I” and “mine” of the egoic self.
Much of the teachings are about staying in the present instead of the story of our past or the “What if?’ of the future knowing that we are fine where we are right now. This is so important especially during these days where most people have no idea what is to come of the lives we are living after all of the lockdowns, business closures, and political unrest that we see in many areas of the world at the moment.
 
The best thing that we can all do is to stay in the ‘present’ realizing our thoughts are NOT reality, focusing on the things that bring us a sense of happiness and fulfillment because these come from ourselves – they have little to nothing to do with the chaos around us if we choose to ignore it.
We have plenty of time to go deeply within to find our heart’s desire and in so doing working on our soul’s journey. Because it is this mindset that will enable you to free yourself from the craziness that is the outer world at this moment. Create a lovely inner world in which to immerse yourself for now.

How Always Want To Be The Best At Everything and Hate My self When I am Not. How Do I Get Over This? Vol. 576, Dec. 31, 2020

If you are a person who has this issue, here is a great New Year’s Present that you can give yourself, by reading the answer that I gave to the person who asked this question on Quora. 

Coming from a person who had to overcome some major learning disabilities and had zero coordination, my sisters were better at almost everything than I was. But, this was the thing, I didn’t care. Really, I didn’t. I learned how to do things for the fun of learning. If I won a game, it was most amazing as it was hard-won. However, I played to enjoy the experience, not make it a competitive endeavor with my sense of self on the line. There is absolutely no reason to do that so far as I can tell.

I have always been a hard worker (well except 8th grade when I sort of gave up for a while because the effort didn’t change the grades), till I had a great tutor in high school who taught me how to learn and how to write papers. Then learning became fun again. I am now 59 years old and working on completing my second Master’s degree and doing it abroad on top of it all – so that is amazing in itself.

My younger sister always has to ‘win’ and I never felt that pressure. So long as I gave it a good effort, that was all that mattered. I can tell you this: It takes a ton of pressure off to just put in one’s best effort.

Perfection doesn’t exist in this world – at least where humans are concerned. So, be okay with being imperfectly perfect as you go through this journey we call life. Because in the end, being the best doesn’t matter, however doing your best is what brings a sense of fulfillment and that does indeed matter – quite a lot.

Thanks for your A2A, for all those who needed to read this message.

 

Why Doesn’t My Counselor Feel It Is Safe to Connect With My Inner Child Yet? Vol. 571 – November, 26, 2020

I can’t tell you why your therapist feels it’s not safe to connect with your inner child. From my perspective having done work Through Hypnosis and NLP outside the conventional world of therapy, the only way my clients have cleared much of the pain held inside was to heal their inner child. Of course I do it while the client is in an altered state so when they come out of their hypnotic trance they feel lighter and brighter.

To tell you the truth, and this is only my opinion, many therapists work more on the conservative level based on fear of opening up a bunch of emotions in their patients they would rather not contend with – because they aren’t sure they can handle it – otherwise they would do the job in front of them.

Now, do understand that even though I am an unconventional healer having taken that route- I also am willing to do whatever needs to be done to help my clients heal and never once in 19 years of practice has inner child work done anything but help the healing process and that includes folks with horrific traumas in their past!

Can Therapy Just Not Work For Some People? Vol. 570, November 19, 2020

This was asked by a person on Quora who had asked this question because she had tried three different therapists. Here is how I answered her: 
 

I appreciate your honest question about a very common issue in the world of therapy. Do understand that I am answering this from the point of view of a hypnostist/NLP practitioner who learned many years ago that many things that look like emotional issues are physiological and vise versa. So, my short answer to you is to get some testing done to see if you are metabolizing the nutrients that you require to form the dopamine, serotonin, gaba, etc that your brain needs to be emotionally stable and mental clear – because without that ability, one will never feel good about life – it’s physiology – not psychology.

I found this out working with a client of mine who was told by some ignorant therapist she had many years before she met me, that she would have to take antidepressants for the rest of her life. This news really bummed her out. Well, it was a long journey, but what we found after she saw my compounding pharmacist who sent her to an integrative doc, was that she had leaky gut and heavy metal toxicity (due to her job).

If you are in mid-life your hormones may be unbalanced and the same is true if you are overly stressed as many are these days. So, this is another thing to get checked out – cortisol levels – all of these are done through saliva to be done correctly, not blood as the conventional docs tend to do.

So, please do not pay attention to people who are assuming that you are not doing your part in the therapy, because it may very well be that it has nothing to do with mental-emotional anything and everything to do with metabolism and hormones.

If you do have emotional issues that you feel are causing the issues, find yourself a person who can help you with the unconscious content that may be in your way – that would be a person trained in that specialization, a hypnotist with NLP training.

You can find out much more about those modalities at: Home

However, I would suggest that you rule out physiological issues before you do anything else. Once that is done, then you can figure out what to do next.

Thanks again for this question – because people need to open up their minds to the fact that the body-mind connection is very real and needs to be treated as such.
