A Change of Mind Requires a Change of Heart
By Marcia Reynolds

Do you have trouble changing your mind?

Some people say that if you

change your thoughts, you change your mind.

However, simply telling yourself
to be more patient, more tolerant, more courageous, and more attractive doesn’t seem to work for more than a few seconds. Why?

Sustainable change
requires a change of heart.

Last week, a friend talked me into going to a bar. I hate bars. I don’t drink or smoke, and I get irritated watching others getting drunk and smelling their smoke. As I walked through into the building, I could feel my stomach tightening as I prepared to be annoyed.

Then a little voice rang in my ear, "Handle this Miss ’Outsmart Your Brain.’" I laughed at myself, and the bubble of anger burst.

When I found my
friend, I asked him who the funniest person in the bar was. He sat me next to his high school buddy who entertained me for the next two hours. I laughed so much I forgot to complain about the smoke. My choice to laugh rather than complain tricked my mind into having a good time.

I probably would not have had any fun had I just told myself to get
over it and enjoy myself. I had to shift my emotional state to succeed.

Our cognitive state, including our thoughts and "logical decisions"
are actually servants to our emotions. Our emotions dictate what we focus on and how we will act.

Therefore, changing your mind requires you first change
your emotions.

To make better decisions, handle difficult situation, and live
healthier and happier lives, we must learn how to partner with our emotions, not suppress them like we’ve been taught to do.

Instead, we have to
acknowledge how we feel, and then consciously shift our feelings in order to change our minds.

So how do you shift your emotional state? Here are some tips:

1. Carry things with you that make you smile or feel good or have
them handy on your desk or in your car. Keep handy pictures of your children, toys that make you laugh, and souvenirs of good times with your friends and family. Whenever you need a lift, find something to make you smile.

2. Force a smile, even a loud laugh, to get the process going. The
brain doesn’t know the fake from the real thing. Forced laughter still releases the neurochemicals that will make you feel better faster.

3. Move your body. Complex movement (not repetitive such as running) will help you shift out of an emotional rut. Engage in a sport, practice a martial art or yoga, or take a kick-boxing class to shake your fears and anger off your back.

4. Say thank you. Look around you. Remind yourself what you have to be thankful for. Gratitude will also shift your brainchemistry to help you change your mind.

5. Practice seeing the "funny" side of life. Spend a week seeing
funny movies, reading only the comics in the paper, seeking out funny peopleand trying to find the humor in the mundane. You might change your mind for life.

The greatest accomplishments over time have been fueled by emotion, and the greatest changes are caused by a change of heart. Know, choose and shift your emotional states to achieve more happiness and success in your life.

Love and Light,

For an Immediate
& Profound Improvement

__________________________________


Here’s a simple, easy way to make an immediate and profound improvement in the quality of your life.

Stop worrying. The next time you catch yourself wrapping your mind around a worry, choose to let that worry fall completely away. Notice how much more positive and effective you suddenly are.

Worry poisons your thoughts and keeps life’s best opportunities hidden from you. Worry actually increases the power and influence of those undesirable things you worry about.

Certainly it’s important to look clearly and realistically at life’s dangers, problems and challenges. Yet there is nothing to be gained by worrying about them.

Choose to replace each negative worry with positive action. Instead of looking down, pick yourself up and move forward.

Every moment is filled with countless opportunities to create lasting value. Stop worrying, and start living with richness, purpose and real joy.

Tap Into The Power Of Intention

♥Karen~Karma♥

Eight Ways
To tap into the power of intention and feel great every day!
Wayne Dyer

quote

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture.

In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed.

Intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place.

Intention—not as something you do—but as an energy you’re a part of.

We’re all intended here through the invisible power of intention.

Intention is a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with the power of intention.

1. Make meditation a regular practice in your life. You need to take time to get quiet, to go within, and from this silence make conscious contact with the source of intention. You’re already connected to everything that you perceive as missing from your life; go with a realign.

2. Become conscious of the foods you eat. Foods high in alkalinity such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, soy, nonyeast breads and virgin olive oil are high-energy foods and will strengthen you, while highly acidic foods such as flour-based cereals, meats, dairy and sugars lower energy and will weaken you.

3. Retreat from low-energy substance. Alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, sugar and virtually all artificial drugs, legal or otherwise, lower your body’s energy level and weaken you.

4. Become aware of the energy level of the music you listen to. Some rap music—filled with profanity and messages about killing, for example—is an energy drain, while music that has a more soothing impact on the soul has been proven to be beneficial.

Life

5. Become aware of the energy levels of your home environment. Make your home a nurturing, cheerful and peaceful environment.

6. Reduce your exposure to low-energy commercial television. Children see 12,000 simulated murders on TV before their 14th birthday! Television news puts a heavy emphasis on the bad and the ugly, leaving out the good.

7. Enhance your energy field with photographs. Every photograph contains energy. Carry and display photos taken in moments of happiness, love and receptivity.

8. Become conscious of the energy levels of your acquaintances, friends and extended family. Choose to be in close proximity to those who are empowering, who see the greatness in you, who feel connected to spirit.

Live with intentions
