Transformation starts with Changing your Thoughts
Posted by Intuition Girl
Do you think it is acceptable to hurt, insult or injure someone personally or even professionally? Is your response, “No, not me”? It is very painless to say something or do something mean-spirited without thinking about the repercussions of our actions. But these painless statements or actions can often become extremely painful to others. Sometimes we say or do things in the heat of the moment. Perhaps something did not quite work out as planned or maybe something is not going the way you want it to go, and without giving aforethought, you spontaneously lash out at someone. As members of the human race, some of us lack the proper character to think before we act and our words and actions as a result, have become overshadowed by our carelessness.
When I was growing up, I was taught that if I do not have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Now is the time to stop passing judgment on other’s behavior and start focusing on how you can make a positive impact in the world. None of us are perfect and believe it or not, we all have flaws. When you begin to accept accountability of your behavior by changing your thinking and reactions, you will ultimately change your life in dynamic and positive ways.
In order to achieve harmony and happiness in your life, you must realize that it is imperative to always treat others as you would like to be treated. There is such an incredible sense of inner peace when you hold others in a state of acceptance. As you accept and respect others as you would hope to be, you begin to live in a healthy and steady reflective state of one another. I have said in one of my inspirational messages that we are merely a reflection of each other; so if we discover certain emotions like anger or contempt, I strongly suggest that you look in the mirror and see what it is inside of you that has triggered your reaction because that situation is simply a mirror of what you need to work on.
In fact, one of my meditation exercises encourages you to do exactly that. For a few minutes every day, peer into your reflection and ask yourself, “How am I going to shape my day today?” Notice that you are asking your Self how you are going to shape your day. Once you feel comfortable with your Soul Being (your Inner Self), you discover that you can not only become a positive reflection to others but a beacon of light to those who need a spark of creativity, encouragement or just a sense of comfort. It is amazing what incredible human beings we can become when we challenge ourselves to be the best that we can be.

What are you really seeing?

Some of you might be old enough to remember the ABC television program, The Six Million Dollar Man. In the 70s pop culture series, Lee Majors played a former astronaut, who is fitted with bionic implants. One of his high-tech powers includes the ability to zoom in at 20:1 with infrared vision! Imagine that! If only we could have that sense of perception and visibility… in truth, we do if we only try.
When you open your eyes to opportunities that exist, you might just surprise yourself with what you can and will see both in your present and in your future. The gift of vision is innate to us all. The problem, however, is that many of us do not facilitate it enough; or we do not grasp that ability to do so. There are several ways to nurture and develop your sense of vision by using powerful mind tools like meditation, prayer and visualization techniques. Of course you can always reach out to your angel guides to help you see more clearly, and to become more focused on what it is you need to help you succeed in life.
When you call upon an angel to help you see more clearly, you are energetically connecting with that angelic force to give you the strength, wisdom and the foresight to help you manifest those prospects that are yet to be revealed to you. What it is that your Inner Soul truly craves and desires? Remember to ask your Higher Self and your angels to help you achieve a heightened sense of awareness so that you can pursue interests that serve you and your life best.

…write to me and escape!
Well, I am sure Rupert Holmes had a fun time writing that song (“Escape”); but what do you fantasize about in your own life? Where does your mind drift to “escape”? How do you de-stress your daily life?
Some of you may feel so overwhelmed at day’s end that you are ready to find a cave and hide in it. But that does not really de-stress your life. That just makes you feel an even greater sense of urgency to run away from it. So what do you do to really escape the boredom, the monotony or the challenges of your life?
Sometimes, the best way to combat challenges and trials is not to run away from them, but rather to face them head on. You can do this each morning by preparing yourself for whatever comes your way. You do this by planting the appropriate seeds in your mind to make the best of any situation. What are the seeds that have been planted in your mind, in your heart that need to be watered by you so they don’t dry up and rot? If you have a goal that you have wanted to achieve, do you simply allow your thoughts to evaporate into thin air? You must believe in new possibilities from the moment that you awake until the time you go to sleep at night. Yet to take this a step further—even in your sleep you must believe in all your possibilities –in other words, it is 24/7.
Manifesting Inner Peace
In order for you to actually materialize your dreams, you have to dream big and nurture those dreams day in and day out. When you do, you enhance your potentiality in everything that you encounter. The other part of that equation is that you must always practice patience. Rome was not built in a day. It will not only take persistence, but it will also take personal discipline to awaken yourself to the inspiration and motivation that you need to acquire for your personal “escape” and the sacredness in everyday living.
If you feel like you must run away from your problems, immerse yourself in the things that you find most joyful – whether that is playing the guitar, sculpting, writing or just being in nature, it is through these actions that we find solace and countenance to appreciate the beauty and profoundness of our Inner Self. This in turn, leads to the pathway of an “escape” and more importantly, to real resolve.

Having a Responsible Voice
Posted by Intuition Girl
What are you broadcasting? How is your voice being heard? What does your voice really want to say? While all of us may not be fully aware of it, we have the power inside us to share meaningful dialog and information; and we also have the power to be destructive in the same manner.
In a world that is filled with modern conveyances and one that is rapidly changing at the speed of light, we all too often forget the basis of communication; and that is sharing worthwhile information, thoughts and ideas stemming from the greatest value of all= love. For just one moment, I want you to think about that word: LOVE. Say it aloud to yourself. Do you hear and feel how easy it is to say when it rolls off your tongue? In fact, when you say it, it tends to calm the heart and mind.
What we say and how we respond in conversation and within our relationships can be either helpful or undermine our own growth — both personally and professionally.
How do you speak with others? How do you relate with others? When you are communicating with others, do you take their feelings and their circumstances into consideration? Do you assume that an individual knows what you are thinking? These are all questions you should ask yourself in your mind’s eye before entering into dialog. Many of us do this day in and day out (online and offline) in our social networks, in public, at the office and at home. We forget that the things that we say and do have consequences: one’s actions cause an equal reaction. If you berate or belittle someone with your words or deeds, otherwise meaningful communication is quickly depleted and nothing positive can come of that.
When we employ our conversation and our energies in a positive way by listening as well as conveying the messages we want people to hear and understand, we open the doorway to creativity and deeper levels of communication. In doing so, we begin to exchange positive energies that help us to grow as well as promoting growth in others. What are you doing today to responsibly expand the conversation in your world as well as enriching the lives of others? What seeds of inspiration can you sew today?
Let me know your thoughts…I would love to hear from you today!
I am always,
Joan Marie, your Intuition Girl

Cool Change
Posted by Intuition Girl
When you hear the word “change”, what is the first emotion that comes up for you? For some of you, change means having to do things completely different … for some of you it means doing things more abruptly… and for some of you, change just doesn’t fit into your scheme of things. Why “change” something when everything is going along smoothly? And for that matter, why change anything at all?
Many individuals have come to me and asked me, “Joan Marie, when am I going to see financial gain?” “When will I get the job I want?” “When am I going to find the love of my life?” “When are things going to finally start looking up for me?” Well, a lot of you want a lot of different things, but are you willing to change your life path to acquire those things and to gain that emotional peace in your life?
The Little River Band shares the title of this article with one of their songs and rightfully so. In the lyrics, they sing, “If there’s one thing in my life that’s missing – it’s the time that I spend alone…” How often do you spend time with your Authentic Self? Time alone to reflect on all the things that are important to you and that matter to you? I am not talking about your worries or anxieties, I am speaking about the simple peace of being with yourself where you are better able to concentrate on who you are, where you are, where you have been and where you want to go in your life… Have you ever taken the time to simply be?
Being at one with your Inner Child, your Authentic Self is what propels you to greatness. It enables you see the possibilities around you and it also encourages you to do more and be more than what you already are. That is the simplistic magic of transformation. But how do I get there, you ask? Begin with a calming relaxation technique like deep breathing exercises, meditation or visualization. Together, these self-healing techniques offer you the road to self-redemption and the freedom to “change” all that no longer serves you.
When you are ready to “change” and you are ready to positively transform your lifestyle, you find that all those hurdles from the past are not so big to overcome. You also discover that some opportunities you have been longing for are suddenly front and center. But you must arrive at that place first. You must understand that all the wealth, health, love, and inner peace in your life cannot come to fruition until you are ready to change and to accept change. I know, change does not come easy for most of us. Metaphorically (or physically) not everyone has that ability to skip a pebble across a smooth lake. But when you get good at it, you begin to skip those pebbles across the lake like a pro. You aren’t changing the composition of the water (you) but what you are doing is enabling yourself to adapt to the changes entering your life and learning how to run with Universal Flow of energy…just as the lake allows the pebble to skim its surface without ever harming it.
Ready for a cool change in your life? Let me help guide you on your journey to self-exploration and self-healing today! Together, we can help initiate the changes that you seek in your life!
