Guidance Request:

Dear Angel,

Thank you for being so amazing!

I just don’t get it.
Are you always happy?
Are you for real?
How do you do it?
I can get so consumed by the shit in my life at times, I don’t know how to get myself out of it and back on track, how to even go on sometimes.

How do you do it??

Any insight would be great, I really value your guidance.
Thank you,
Desperately seeking solace

BREATHE!!!

That is where it ALL BEgins………

..by STOPping and simply allowing SELF to BE, to BREATHE.

Life can seem very difficult at times, there is no escaping this ~ YET…
It is a very fundamental element of the conditioning we have undergone for centuries and is so finely woven into the very essence of our understanding of that which is life and the experience thereof, we are not even awares 99% of the time, of the illusion within which we operate and for which we support. We have BEcome for the most part, though awakening quickly day by day, a self-policing Universal society. Those whom have mastered the puppeteer strings, imbibing the conditioning, have done so, so very well, that they no longer need be “in the picture”so to speak. Ya see, they have the rest of we, to proliferate their perceptual realities, realities that are in fact, illusions based within FEAR.

YES! Life can seem like a mountainous chasm of hell, if we allow our SELVes to BElieve in ALL the FEAR mongering that is so very pervasive in our Universal Society, BUT!!

YES, there is a BUT………
We DOn’t HAVE TO!!!

We can AWAKEn our SELVes to TRUTH.

We can CHOOSE to SEE that it is WE whom CREATEs reality……….

No hocus pocus, no magical fairy dust, ain’t even gonna bring up that which YOU can’t see ~{namely energy}…….simply the TRUTH, apparent to ALL of WE…..

Shall we……………

which ME DO I CHOOSE to BE

So, we have our friend Joanna, late 20’s – early 30’s, comes from a middle class upbringing, has a couple of siblings, a social network both online and offline and is a trained account manager in the field of telecommunications.

Cool?
Cool.

Take ONE:

Joanna wakes up one day and discovers, she has no job to go to, and her home has been condemned.

Everything she knows to BE her life is suddenly no more~ or so she BElieves.

“or so she BElieves”…….REMEMBER THIS!

She dives into a tail spin. Heads out to the local bar, night after night, awaiting her eviction, getting drunk and THINKING of nothing but how horrible her situation is. She finds her self a room in a cheap motel, with what savings she DOes have taking what stuff of hers she is able to get out of the home before she is no longer granted access. Night after night, she goes out, gets drunk and laments on her horrible situation, how unfair life is, how could this happen to her…. Eventually she winds up living on the streets, selling her body for alcohol and drugs.

Take TWO:

Joanna wakes up one day and discovers, she has no job to go to, and her home has been condemned.

She panics, heart is racing, not sure what to DO, she freaks out a little, pours herSELF a glass of wine and sobs for hours.

Exhausted but KNOWing she has to leave her home within a week, and there is NO WAY she is going to just “curl up and crumble”, she grabs hold of her phone {before they disconnect that too} and starts making phone calls to family and friends, until she has set herself up with a temporary place of residence, and has let everyone that she knows, know, that she is on the market for a job and open to opportunities.

Within a week, she is working at a new job and going to see new homes ……homes that pass any and every inspection necessary, not to mention the fine tooth comb with which she goes over the contract for her chosen home, BEFORE moving in.

Take THREE:

Joanna wakes up one day and discovers, she has no job to go to, and her home has been condemned.

“WOW!!” she thinks, I’ve BEen desperate for a vacation for the longest time!!! Whoohooooooo, time to PARTAY!!!

And she quickly makes arrangements to have all of her stuff packed up and put into storage, books her “dream vacation”and takes off in less than a week for the vacation experience of a lifetime.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soooooooo, what’s the difference?

Within each case, Joanna is Joanna.

She came from the same background, had the same resources available to her and experienced the same life circumstance that was BEyond her control.

Same, same, but Different, n’est ce pas?

And where did the Difference BEgin?

WITHIN!

In each of our three “takes”, Joanna CHOSE to ACT based upon how she THOUGHT and FELT internally about her external situation.

She CREATEd a chain effect based upon how she CHOSE to perceive, receive and respond to circumstances occurring outside of her, in the physical world.

She CHOSE.

The CHOICEs she made, CREATEd the life experience she had as a result thereto.

What we think and feel today is what CREATEs our tomorrow.

So, how do we CHOOSE to think the thoughts and feel the feelings that will create the tomorrows we want?

We Pay Attention and CHOOSE to BE Aware of the thoughts and feelings we are entertaining in our BEingness.

We CHOOSE which of our thoughts to focus upon

We CHOOSE which of the 64 000+++ thoughts we experience EVERY DAY to actually focus our attention upon.

We CHOOSE, when our attention is focusing upon negative thoughts and feelings to REDIRECT our SELF where we WANT TO BE.

WE ARE IN CHARGE of our Mind.

WE ARE IN CHARGE of our Thoughts and FEELings.

HOW?

By ANY method of LOVE’s Light we are so able to!
Here are a few:

Positive Affirmations:

ie: “I AM an Amazing, Unique, Special individual, capable of and manifesting ALLways every one of my desired intentions.”

Positive AffOrmations:

ie: “Why AM I sooooo very blessed in Every NOW, ALLways, perfectly aligned and openly receiving ALL of my desired intentions within LOVE’s Light for the BEnefit of ALL?”

Changing our external environment:

ie: -putting on some fantabulous uplifting music

-going into another room, taking a walk outside

-opening the shades or closing them

-lighting candles, incense, aromatherapy oils

Changing our BEhaviours/ACTions:

ie: -going into another room, taking a walk outside

-moving from our current activity to another activity

-calling friends or family

-meditating, exercising, breathing

Reinforcing Positivity in our Minds:

ie: -writing our accomplishments each day,

-reading uplifting, assisting and enlightening materials

-learning, researching, finding NEW Ways of looking at things, new views,

perceptions, possibilities by which to see our world through.

-watching uplifting, assisting, and enlightening movies/shows

-speaking to those whom are DOing what we want to DO successfully

Soul’s Talking Brain

……for more insight, tools, resources and guidance along YOUr pathway feel free to get in touch with me directly and we will  journey together upon YOUr own personal pathway towards fulfilled Happiness.

……and YES, until it BEcomes as rote as walking and breathing, we MUST continue to take advantage of EVERY possible tool we have available to us to reinforce the positive, remind our SELVes of that which is POSITIVE in our lives that we keep taking those steps, however small they may BE towards the manifested realization of our intentions.

That is the “work”and whom else, what else could possibly BE worthy of the effort required, than YOU?

Remember, we can give to no one else, if first we do not take care of SELF.

And when, the negative thoughts and feelings pervade, when they infiltrate through, even after YOU have DOne ALL YOU feel YOU can……….FAKE IT!

YES, that’s right, YOU heard me perfectly…….make pretend, use YOUr imagination, make BElieve that YOU ARE Happy, in fact, SMILE, laugh, tell YOUr SELF, YOU FEEL GREAT, Life IS GREAT, things ARE happening EXACTLY as YOU WANT them to, ‘cuz and here’s the kicker……..even though in this moment in time, they may NOT BE……tomorrow is a new day and ya have no idea what’s on its way that can change it ALL and manifest EVERYTHING YOU desire and soooooooooooo much much much much much much more!!!

And then what?

Then YOU’ll look back at today, when you were feeling so low and gray and think what a waste of me…….how better I would have spent my energy ~ if only I had KNOWn……..

planting seeds of LOVE

Well, we never DO, soooooooo, ya might as well make the BEST of the journey each step along the way, see the positive, come what may, seek it out, look for it, each and every day in each and every way.

Eventually, what YOU’ll find is that YOU’re no longer “faking” it anymore and YOU’re actually enJOYing BEing YOU and the life YOU are living too!!

Try it……next time yar in a ‘slump’, even for 10 minutes, then 30, then an hour and see, if the roof falls down ‘cuz YOU have CHOSEn to BE Happy.

Give YOUr SELF Permission to enJOY BEing YOU, to BE the BEST YOU, YOU can BE, the YOU, YOU LOVE YOUrSELF to BE, ‘cuz YOU deserve no less than magnificence.

YOU are Magnificence, a Miraculous Magnificent Light of LOVE!

REMEMBER THIS
ALLways.

Blessedly BE
Radiate Soul Light
Radiate SELF LOVE
