New Opportunities

Core Value, Healing, Joy, Life 0

So now you have the opportunity to keep your life gaslight-free and go on to a new future.  You have the chance to rework or leave unsatisfying relationships and choose new relationships that feed your sense of self, your vitality, and your joy.  You have the chance to become a stronger, more solid person who charts her own course and lives by her own values.  Most important, you have the chance to discover what you truly want — in your work, your home life, your relationships, and yourself.  Freed from the Gaslight Effect, you can make better choices, choices that are right for you.  As you begin this exciting new portion of your life’s journey, I wish you strength and spirit and all the luck in the world.

A Gift to the World

God, Healing, Joy, Life 0

A sacred choice is an extremely personal decision for each of us.  Only you can make that decision.  By listening to your spirit, by having a good relationship with God — it’s amazing how much easier this is once you change those tribal beliefs about who God is and what God thinks of you — and by being willing to heal yourself, the choice will be clear.  And thanks to the ripple effect, everyone around you will feel your happiness and high vibration.  What a wonderful gift to give the world.

Living in tune with your spirit

Healing, Joy, Life 0

Trust me when I say, if something raises your vibration, you will know it.  If you think you are not sure, it’s because you are afraid to admit that your vibration is lowered by a particular person, activity, or way of life.

It takes great courage to start living vibrationally because it will require you to be rigorously honest about where you are putting your energy in life.  And before you start thinking I am condoning a self-centered way of life, consider this:  How self-centered do you think you become when you are resentful, angry, and conflicted because you are doing something you don’t want to?  Quite a lot.

Living vibrationally doesn’t mean avoiding the things you dislike — it means living in integrity with your spirit.

When you live vibrationally, you can take responsibility for your happiness.  If you feel trapped, find and change the tribal belief that is trapping you.  If you feel resentful, look at the situation you have chosen in order to remain true to your tribe.

Healing Others

Healing, Joy, Life 0

Remember that I want you to be wildly happy, incredibly successful, and filled with passion and spontaneity.  Listening to your spirit will accomplish all of it.  And when your vibrations are good, you are sending out the best possible energy to the rest of the world.  The fact is, your good vibrations are healing to others.

Being Around Positive Energy

Joy 0

We get good vibes by giving them.  Being around people who exude positive energy is stimulating and inspiring.  They’re fun to be with because they have the power to uplift our spirits as they uplift their own.  They invite us to actively participate in the infinite possibilities for living more radiantly.  Someone with a good disposition, who is cheerful and looks on the bright side of life, generates lots of good energy.

— Alexandra Stoddard, Choosing Happiness, p. 50-51

Enthusiasm

Gratitude, Joy 0

The way to increase our energy is to find lots and lots of things to be enthusiastic about.  Whether it is a clean house, a freshly stocked refrigerator, or a newly mowed lawn, there are opportunities everywhere for us to become excited and thoroughly enjoy what we choose to do.

— Alexandra Stoddard, Choosing Happiness, p. 49

Live Love in the Present

Joy, Life 0

Those who believe in themselves, and trust in the moment, are those who find life most enjoyable.  They have learned that the past is a place to store memories, not regrets; that the future should be full of promise, not apprehension.  And the present is all we need.

— Leo Buscaglia, Born for Love, p. 266

Healing Your Resentment

Healing, Joy, Life, Peace 0

Whenever you forget to nurture and care for yourself because it feels selfish, your level of resentment will rise….

You must take personal responsibility for your level of self-care — that means not blaming others because you are stuck cleaning the garage while your husband is off playing golf.  Why are you not doing what you want to be doing?…

Remember to look for the subtle ways you forget to honor yourself.  If you come last in your life, your level of resentment will be high.

— Christel Nani, Sacred Choices, p. 234-235
