Changing this ONE word can change how you feel and what you create

Happy day to you!

I truly believe that how you use language will influence how you feel and what you create.  Here's a powerful example:

Say to yourself, "I am not good enough."  Notice how this feels. 

Now say, " I'm feeling not good enough."

How do they feel different to you?

Most people experience "I am" as being more fixed and permanent, and "I feel" as being more temporary with more possibility for change. 

How often are you feeling something negative, yet you use "I am" language and end up feeling like it's a permanent feature of who you are?  (Like I am fat, I am slow, I am sad, I am no good at -x-, I am unmotivated, etc.)

Picture
But these things don't exist like the color of your eyes.  Sometimes you access that feeling, and sometimes you don't. You are creating it each and every time in the moment by feeling a reaction to some story you're telling yourself and are believing is true.

New Possibilities for You!

If your "I am" statements are more positive and make you feel good, then by all means, keep doing it!

If, however, you're making yourself feel bad; please remember to change your language to "I'm feeling..." .
  (Like I feel fat, I feel slow, I feel sad, I feel like I'm no good at -x-, I feel unmotivated, etc.)

Then remember that it's just a temporary reaction to something you're telling yourself.  What story is going on inside your head?  If you heard your friend speaking that way, what would you say to them?  Would you say, "I know.  That's so true!  You ARE inadequate!  You never do anything right!"  Really? How would you help them to see it differently?  Try it for yourself!

If you can't seem to come up with a different perspective on your bad-feeling story, imagine someone else's perspective.  Who do you know, or know of, that would see you and think about your inner story differently?  My personal favorite is to try on the perspective of Source Energy/Spirit/God.

You do not have to be at the effect of your thoughts.  You have them.  They don't have you; and you can change them to change your experience.

You are not fixed.  You are pure potentiality!  You create your experience moment to moment.  Use your words wisely.

If you feel like your thoughts have control over you and you'd like to be able to manage your thoughts and emotions more effectively, please contact me to explore if my new possibilities private coaching is a good fit for you.  I'll guide and support you in a very individualized and personal way so you can experience all the harmony, happiness and success that you desire.

Supporting you in greater ease and joy, with a warm heart,

My favorite strategy for being my best and happiest self

A joy-filled hello to you!
In our most recent evening of guided meditations, everyone got to delight in the expansive feelings of experiencing themselves as more than just the physical human beings they  typically think of themselves as.  You are so much more than just your body and thoughts!

Let me share a strategy I regularly use that I believe can have tremendous potential for you, as well.
In my guided meditation evenings, people often complement me on my voice and how it’s so perfect for leading  meditations and helping them to feel so good.  It’s really nice to be appreciated.  The thing is, I believe it’s not really my voice that people are hearing.  They’re hearing who I’m being as I speak.

Let me explain a bit.  Back in my days of training, I took a course with a very masterful hypnotherapist, Mel Bucholz.  It was nearly impossible not to go into a trance state when you listened to him.  So in his course, I was expecting to learn all kinds of language patterns and hypnotic techniques.  Who wouldn’t, right?

Instead, we took weeks just talking about poetry and aesthetics and such!  I was so confused; until I finally “got it”.  This brilliant man was teaching us how to “be” something different, rather than how to “do” something different.  By connecting to our aesthetic sense of being and our spirit, we learned that from there the rest would flow. 


Picture
Later we learned about techniques and language; but without that first step, I would have been trying to perform from my head, instead of from all that I am.  I am so grateful to have had this teacher and learning.  From that point on, I easily excelled in my other trainings, as well, to the point of being asked by the trainer and owner of the training company to become one of the first two assistants they ever had, and then to eventually take over his role.

Picture
When you connect to all that you are, your spirit-full self, you connect to all of your resources and more.  You become magical.  You can learn better, perform better, and be and feel your best. This is what you hear when you listen to me guide you through a meditation, or a class, or a coaching session, even in my writing.  And, it feels really, really, good for me, too!

You can do this, too!  Maybe not for leading meditations or teaching or coaching, necessarily; but for whatever you want to excel at, however you want to be resourceful, and however you want to feel.


New Possibilities for YOU!

Think about the word resourceful…re -Source-full !   How do you reconnect to the Source of all that is and feel your full Spirit/Source-Self and all that you are?  In prayer?  Meditation?  In nature?  Running or playing some sport “in the zone” or “flow state”?  Maybe it’s when you just connect to your heart and are living from love.  What does it for you? Start experimenting by recalling and purposefully bringing back this feeling in other contexts, as well.  Remind yourself of all that you are beyond your mere human capabilities by asking, “Who am I?” or “Who am I being?”, and go BIG, if you know what I mean.

Here’s another tip. Don’t try to find “it”, as if “it” exists.  Use your imagination.  It’s all the same!


If you feel disconnected and limited by living mainly in your head and that that's all that you are, then let me help, so you can experience all the harmony, happiness and success you desire.  E-mail me to schedule a complimentary happiness upgrade activation session to begin creating new possibilities for you!

Supporting you in greater ease and joy, with a warm heart,

Ann
