Be Happy Now

Are you delaying your happiness?  Be happy now!

Just A Love Machine

I’m Just a Love Machine

Song lyrics just float into my head. Sometimes from a song I’ve heard recently. Sometimes from songs I haven’t heard in years.

Today what floated in was “I’m just a love machine” (by The Miracles)

As I’m driving around with this single line stuck in my head, it occurs to me – we can all be love machines.

Sending love out to people as we go through the world.

Like the loving kindness (metta) meditation.

Except you are eyes wide open & going through life.

What if you sent some love to a stranger today? This does not mean you have to touch them – or even talk to them. It is wonderfully anonymous.

Just send some love from your heart energetically & wish them a good day. (One of the lines from the loving kindness meditation is “May you be happy. May you be well.”)

Put more love out into the world (“All we need is love” – The Beatles)

Try it for a few minutes and see how you feel.

Give me a heart emoji in the comments below if you try it!

Have a great day! May you be happy! May you be well!

The hard way or the easy way

The hard way or the easy way (or not at all)

In your life, are you choosing the hard way or the easy way?

Making money – are you choosing the hard way or the easy way?

Romantic relationships – are you choosing the hard way or the easy way?

Realizing your dreams – are you choosing the hard way or the easy way (or nothing at all)?

Health/Body – are you choosing the hard way or the easy way?

Career/Business – are you choosing the hard way or the easy way?

Most people default to whatever they saw as they grew up.

In my case, I saw it was hard for my parents and grandparents make money. Until I got into high school my mother was always scraping by. It was common to hear “we can’t afford it”.

I saw that it was hard for my mom to find a good romantic relationship. The ones she did find tended to be tumultuous.

My grandfather died when I was young & my grandmother spent the rest of her life alone (over 25 years).

You don’t have to keep any of your beliefs.

You don’t have to struggle. Unless you want to.

You can pick the hard way.

My clients often feel they have to pick the hard way. They feel they aren’t deserving or worthy if they don’t struggle (for years and possibly decades) first. They feel like maybe they haven’t “earned” it. If it came easy, some how it would make them a bad person.

And you can allow yourself to pick the easy way.

You are already worthy and already deserving.

You are allowed to change your beliefs & live an amazing life you love.

If you are ready to make a change, identify where you are choosing the hard way. Don’t beat yourself up! Start asking yourself how it could be easier in that area. Allow inspiration to come.

Have a great day!

When It Looks Like Things Aren’t Going Your Way

When it looks like things aren’t going your way….

What if you could always believe things are working out for you?

I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and some thing for lunch.

I got my produce. Then I stopped by to get lunch – but the guy behind the counter said it would take another 11 minutes (they were way behind).

My first reaction was not a good one. I’m usually in & out of a store like Speedy Gonzalez.

Then I thought….”what if this is working out for me”

So I meandered around the store. Not in a huff. Not mad. Just curious to see how the Universe was conspiring on my behalf.

I went down aisle I don’t normally go down including the pet aisle. Turn out my favorite litter (the exact version is hard to find in my area) is there and ON SALE!

Then I went back to produce – I found Rainier cherries – which I missed the first time. (BTW, where I live you can only get them for about 1 month each year.)

My lunch was ready, I checked out. Then on the drive home two songs I love but haven’t heard in a long time were played on the radio.

Maybe these seem like small things. But the small things add up.

Doesn’t it make you smile when you hear a song on the radio that you haven’t heard in a long time? Give me an emoji in the comments if it does

What if things are working out for you?

The mystery smell and your vibration…

The mystery smell and your vibration…

“Ooooooh that smell, can’t you smell that smell” – Lynyrd Skynyrd

I just spent about 30 minutes looking for a mystery smell.

I just COULD NOT figure out where the smell was coming from.

It seemed to be here, then there, then over there.

The smell was taunting me!

It just smells like yuck – nothing discernible. So, no help there.

Could it be the bathroom trash, the kitchen trash – threw it all out.

Still smells…grr

Could it be something in the fridge – even though I could smell it when I hadn’t opened the fridge.

I threw out anything questionable from the fridge.

I could STILL smell it.

I run water in the kitchen sink (was something hiding down there??). I got out the baking soda. I cleaned a couple of utensils that were in the sink.

There’s still a smell.

I spray Febreeze all over the downstairs.

I can still smell it. OMG, this smell is going to drive me crazy!

I’m beginning to think I have some kind of phantom smell in my nose. You know like when you feel a bug on you then you keep feeling it even when it’s gone (or never existed).

There really need to be smell detectors.

Near the end of me having my smell fit, I thought “I wish I was this diligent about keeping my vibration up. I wish everyone was this diligent about keeping their vibration up”.

What are you doing to up your vibration today?

Can you tell people’s beliefs? MAFS Reality Show Edition

Have you noticed that you can usually tell who is going home that week on a reality show (i.e. Project Runway, Top Chef)?

Some of it is the editing.  And some is that you are picking up on the contestant’s vibration.

You can tell when their confidence is low, they are doubting themselves, missing their family so much it is dominating their vibe.

When someone has been in the bottom 3 but makes it through – are they going to bounce back or is it going to get worse?

 

Note:  The following is based on MAFS (Married at First Sight)  Season 6 Episode 1 and the Matchmaking Special.  This is not intended to be a recap and may contain spoilers.

I have never watched MAFS (Married at First Sight) before this season.  An article on it caught my eye and I thought it would be interesting to observe their beliefs and how it worked out.

After all, you get what you think about and believe whether you are the one finding the match for yourself or someone else does.

Here are some of my observations (no judgements – it’s not about whether I like them – it’s just what I get from them – and I could be totally wrong and/or they could change as time passes)

To start with, they must all have some kind of belief(s) getting in the way of them finding love.  (I’m assuming they aren’t doing the show JUST to be on TV.)

A couple of them have said statements that maybe an expert/counselor will be better at finding a match for them.  If they believe this, then maybe the match can work.

Molly and Jonathan

It’s interesting that Molly’s father’s death caused financial devastation in her family – and now she is matched with a guy, Jonathan, that lost his job (in finance).    Jonathan – seems to need things to be challenging (Army, the difficult cat) and he seems more closed off – will this lead to him making the relationship more difficult?  They both said they trust the experts more than they trust themselves – will that help

Jackie and Ryan

Ryan seems like the most mature of the men.  He is consistent in his desire for a wife and family – and he doesn’t come off as desperate.  I loved that Jackie guessed Ryan’s name at her bachelorette party – sounds like she was in synch with it working out.  Loved how Ryan handled the ring size conversation (frankly Jonathan and Jephte seemed immature – this was probably their own fears coming up about who they are matched with).

Shawniece and Jephte

I’m guessing based on Jephte’s mom’s statements and actions that Shawniece has trouble believing a man will pick her and Jephte believes he has to be in the center of conflict.  Shawniece seems to be insecure and a little desperate to get married (statements about women being able to see her husband’s ring, how long she was single, “he better love me”).  She seems like a wonderful woman so I hope she pulls her confidence together quickly.

I’m wishing them all the best.  I can’t help but wish they had a mindset coach (like me) to help them through.
