Emotional Set Point

I am learning how to set my own emotional level.

It has taken a really, really long time to figure out which feelings are mine instead of feeling all the ones which were imposed on me.

My feelings are just fine, thank you.

They have just been buried so deep, it has taken years for them to surface.

Now that I have found them, I am learning how to maintain them at the forefront my thought instead of falling into the old habitual negative impositions.

What a discovery!

And yes, it takes a lot of work to be sure I am focusing on the ones I want.

My first discovery was through listening deeply to what I really wanted to do.

What is it that I truly love?

I found out what it was and then, despite all the negative impossibilities, I put myself where I could do it.

Since then, I have been learning how to do all kinds of things I have always wanted to do.

It just keeps adding to my new foundation of happiness.

The best discovery of all is that I have the ability to move in the direction of happiness for myself.

Joy of New Identity

As I continue to work through the layers of healing, I am so happy to notice the great distance between what I was raised to be and what I am establishing for myself.

My husband has begun hanging my quilts and small fabric art pieces on the walls of my studio.

I am so comforted to see evidence of what I love to do, what I have chosen for myself.

During this time of year, I am hit once again with painful memories, but I have learned what it is like to live as the person I love to be.

As I am pulling myself out of the habitual holiday downward spiral, I find myself surrounded with friends who like to do what I like, spinners, weavers, quilters, knitters.

We are sharing new skills and new accomplishments and appreciating one another’s efforts.

I am still establishing new habits of enjoyment for myself, but these can become more and more automatic the longer I do what I love.

It is a new kind of work, consciously establishing an identity for myself, one that I choose.

My new identity is not shaped by where I happened to be.

It is shaped by all the new activities I am doing, and the new people who surround me as we all do things we love.

It is a great atmosphere.

I am so very grateful I made the immense effort to reestablish myself in a beautiful part of the country, doing things I love.

Positive Engagement

I love the feeling of doing business with people who are uplifting.

Every I know loves the feeling of doing business with people who are uplifting.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, loves the feeling of doing business with people who are uplifting.

———————-

We uplift the whole feeling of our day when we have a positive experience in doing business.

We feel taken care of and we look forward to coming back.

When we are ready to serve in an uplifting way, we attract others who have the same powerful motive.

Never doubt that unselfishness taps into unlimited power and expands our ability to meet genuine needs.

Mental Climate

You can create your own mental climate by the thoughts and attitudes which you carry around with you.

It is very important that you define your own mental climate in terms which are congenial to you.

When you do this, you are able to accomplish things more easily, even things which seem impossible.

Even during stressful times, doors will open for you, people will help you, you will be led where you need to be.

Despite anything going on around you, you have the right to approach your life with poise and equanimity. 

You can find the tiny openings in your day to express calm, to listen for the next tiny step towards a solution.

You can access the deep peace which allows you to trust yourself to be in the best place possible for the situation.

You can literally be led, step by step, through difficulties, and trust that you will find a restful resolution.

Your thoughts and attitudes are crucial to this process.

They create the positive openings for ideas whenever you need one.

Turn inward, take a deep breath and feel the deep peace.

Let the deep peace fill you up and let it radiate around you.

Then, move through your day, carrying your deep peace with you, watching for the openings which continually move you forward peacefully.

Engage Your Mind

Releasing the Panic

I am here, now.

I am feeling the sensations of a memory.

I can breathe deeply and slow down my thoughts.

What am I actually thinking?

I am in a safe place.

All is well.

I have control over the environments where I place myself.

I can tell the difference between a friend and an enemy.

I have good friends.

They have grown up through their many trials.

We are on the same page.

I can get help, any kind of help, when I need it.

I am in a good place.

I am calm.

I am safe.

I am happy.

Breaking Hypnotic Suggestion

You can break yourself out of a hypnotic suggestion.

It didn’t come from you; it doesn’t feel natural.

You don’t need the hypnotist in order to do this.

Once you recognize the pattern, you can break it.

It is only another kind of conditioning.

As you slow down, you can observe where the interference begins.

You can observe the points at which the confusion and misdirection occur.

Move very, very slowly, breath by breath and connect to what you want to see and do.

You will detach and disengage the misdirection of the hypnotic suggestion.

You will be able to do what you want to do and to accomplish your own true goals.

You know the direction you want to go.

Separate out your desires from the hypnotic misdirection and you will remove your confusion and be able to move forward.

A Simple Solution

I have been plagued by someone who was interfering with a website name.  When it leaked over into my blog, I realized I needed a different kind of solution.

Even though I had invested seven years of blogging with that domain name, it was suggested to me to just drop the domain.

And so I have.

I do not need to engage with anyone who has a negative approach to doing business.

My business is to uplift and inspire.

And so I shall continue with my original desire to share inspiration and peace (SIP), unhampered by a lower type of thought.

Uplifting and sharing is never exploitation.

It never uses interference to force a profit.

I did not need to engage with a lower type of business practice.

I easily extracted myself.

Now I can continue to listen for good ideas to share.
