5 Tips on how to live in Happiness
Posted by Intuition Girl
“Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you; but if you turn your attention to other things, it comes and sits softly on your shoulder.”
The anonymous author who wrote this passage had his heart in the right state of mind. Happiness truly is like a butterfly. Too many times, we lose our vision because we’re too busy trying to become content, when contentment has been there all along. I’m going to give you five tips on how to live in happiness so you, too, can catch your own metaphorical butterfly of bliss:
1. Get physical. Remember the old grade school song where the music teacher would sing, “If you’re happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands”? Well, you don’t have to physically clap your hands (unless you want to) — but to make your body feel healthier and free your spirit from daily rigors, a brisk walk, an impromptu happy dance, or a good physical workout can boost your immunity and improve your mental clarity. So go ahead, clap your hands, stomp your feet, and get your body moving!
2. Meditate. 
You don’t need a Guru to whip you into a meditation routine, but you must be committed to practicing daily positive affirmations to reinvent your mental thought processes. Focus on a time when you were most happy, or a place that makes you happiest. Once you have that mental picture in your mind, concentrate on it. Put yourself in that place. Smile. Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Repeat this mental exercise as much as you need to calm your nerves. It’s amazing what a little meditation can do for the mind, body, and soul.
3. Skip the junk food. I’m no nutritionist, but I know what junk foods like greasy French fries and potato chips can do to my body. But junk foods just don’t affect your physical wellbeing; they affect your emotional state of wellness, too. When you put garbage into your body, it limits your mental capacity to think positively. Eating healthy, whole foods like nuts, and raw veggies and fruits can perk your mind, body, and spirit.
4. Journal. Why do you think diaries are such a popular-selling item? It’s not just because little girls want to share their deepest, darkest secrets – diaries, or life journals are superb emotional healing and self-growth tools that help individuals understand and resolve life problems. They’re also great to write out dreams, goals, and desires of the heart. The coolest part about journaling is that you don’t need a degree in journalism or any other special training to write out your thoughts and ideas. Think of your life journal as your personal mind notebook. When you put your goals to paper, it’s so much easier to concentrate on those goals without losing touch with reality. Try it – once you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
5. Smile. 
Do you know that frowning brings down your whole spirit? When you smile, you can feel your eyes lifting, your cheeks wincing, your forehead rising, and your whole body feels light and like it’s atop of the world. Frowning, on the other hand brings your whole composure down. Don’t be a sloucher. Smile. Laugh. Read a joke. Share a joke. Watch a comedy or a cartoon. Think back to a time where you laughed so hard that it made your stomach hurt. What made you laugh that way? Smiling is the ultimate in living in happiness. If you practice active smiling every where you go, you will attract more smiles and positivity toward you. Go ahead and smile. Because remember, when you smile, the whole world smiles with you. When you cry, you cry alone.
Until we speak again,
I am,

Are you ready to propel your life into the outer limits of your present reality? Better still, are you ready to leave the monotony of your dull life to acquire the exciting and extraordinary life you’re intended to live? If you are, then you’re not alone. More people in the world have tossed their ordinary lifestyles to the wayside to pursue bigger and better things. Was it pure luck? A positive twist of fate? Or was it simply the fact that these individuals had the know-how, the willpower, and the intuitiveness to step out of the humdrum and into the high life? More than likely, these folks had an innate desire to achieve greater things, to pursue a higher purpose, or the sincere drive to make things happen – are you one of those people? Actually, each and every one of us possesses these higher instincts to drive us to success…the problem exists only in our mindsets and how we go about using those instincts to better ourselves. Often times, our clever inner voices are screaming at the top of their little lungs only to be thrown out of our mental states…and our actions. Why? We sometimes become our worst own enemies when we refuse to listen to what our inner wisdom is telling us. In fact, we don’t always do it instinctively…we do it by choice. Our choices dictate our strengths, our weaknesses, our prowess, our steadfastness, our individuality, our purpose…what choices are you making?
This is one of many reasons why I especially designed my professional Platinum Mastermind program. It’s not for the faint of heart, and it’s not for the weak-minded. I only chose to create this personal and professional development program to nurture those who are well on their ways toward success. Perhaps they’re just seeking a little pizzazz, a little oomph, a little guidance, a little wisdom…but just enough to get them headed in the right direction. Part of this professional coaching program is to help individuals relate to the relationships in which they are…why they have chosen these paths, and how to move forward with the right recipe for wealth and prosperity. When I’m talking about wealth, I include all forms of it: healthfulness, happiness, abundance, success, love, and peace. Wealth isn’t just about material gain; albeit it is nice to be riding high in the financial department – but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were all fortunate enough to have these types of odds stacked in our favor? Here’s the good news: You CAN! You have all the mental and emotional tools at your disposal…but you just haven’t been using them to your benefit – that’s where I come in: my Platinum Mastermind program takes your profession to a higher level…but not just your profession, your hopes, your dreams, your goals, your personal lives, your relationships. But are you willing to make that type of commitment? Are you truly ready to join the “haves” and to leave the “have-nots” behind?
With the New Year upon us, I imagine that many of you are thinking,”Ah, it’s just another year…” Perhaps it will be to some. But for many, 2010 will be the year of enlightenment, empowerment, assertive action, emotional bliss, and wealth…pure, unadulterated wealth in all aspects of life. What’s stopping you from moving forward? Is it a bad memory? A sneaky conscience that keeps driving you into the ground? That’s what valuable coaching courses like the Platinum Mastermind program can help you to do: overcome the odds to start having the odds on your side. Now is not the time to throw in the towel…now is not the time to quit while you’re ahead…now is not the time to keep harboring old negative thoughts…now is not the time to rehash your old relationship baggage. Now is the time to jump on the momentum bandwagon and get your train of productivity going in positive and powerful directions to get you to the top. Still sitting on your proverbial launch pad? Now is your moment, now is your time, now is already here…so let’s blast off 2010 to infinite heights that can only be determined by your mind’s eye and how far you want to take your life!

Who do You Love?
Posted by Intuition Girl
In his popular hit song, Bo Diddley asks the question, “Who do you love?” Today, I’m going to ask you the same question: Who do “YOU” love? Now I’m going to give you the right answer: “You.” You must love yourself first to achieve inner peace and happiness in your life. Don’t think it’s selfish to love yourself, because you are an essential part of YOU. 
To manifest wealth and success in your life, you must prepare your path for greatness by learning to accept and love every part of you. You do this by training your mind and heart to work in unison with your spirit body. The fastest way to transform your life into one that is personally and professionally rewarding is to start a daily meditation ritual, which will help to rest your mind, calm your nerves, and inspire your soul. Some of my favorite meditation methods include the use of relaxation CDs, being in nature, deep-breathing techniques, and journaling. Another great tool is the Manifestation Method – this personal success program is designed to help you manifest your heart’s desires.
Which meditation tool is right for you? That depends on your individual personality. For some, deep breathing techniques may work exceptionally well. Others find that a more guided program like the Manifestation Method, might work more efficiently.
The primary reason for meditation is to teach you how to love and accept yourself for whom you are, in this moment, at this time. It’s also a great forgiveness tool. Too many of us get caught up in overwhelming feelings of guilt and sorrow. When we meditate, it helps us to gain clarity; and improves our ability to wade past the murky waters that distort our views.
Once you are able to clear the rubbish from your mind, you are better mentally and emotionally prepared to rise above circumstance, and enjoy the nature that is you. This is what being in love with yourself is all about – it’s about being comfortable in your own skin. I want you to ask yourself, “Who do YOU love?” And when you do, I want you to acknowledge that it’s” YOU” who matters; and “YOU”, who hold the key to your fortune in life. You are, after all, a spiritual being capable of greatness in every way. Go ahead – love yourself today.

What are you masking?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Are you wearing a mask to hide your sadness or identity? Isn’t it time you removed the facade to let your light shine through? Like the great pumpkin, you must cut away the layers of waxed skin to create a brightly-lit jack-o-lantern.
But let’s not forget that autumn is more than a time for trick-or-treating; in fact, it’s the perfect occasion to harvest the abundance that awaits you if you’re willing to realize your potential.
I can’t do it!
How many times have you thought that you just can’t go any further? How many times have you questioned your own abilities to create happiness and prosperity in your life? How often have you asked yourself, “Why should I even try?” If you’ve asked yourself any of the aforementioned questions, then it’s time to unveil your authentic self so you can rise above life’s circumstances to initiate real forward motion.
Here are a few tips to start your inner-healing process:
1. Stop beating yourself up. When you begin to over-criticize yourself, you plant negative seeds in your mind. Once these seeds take sprout, the roots of pessimism begin to implant themselves in every cell of your body, mind, and spirit. This type of thinking results in stress, anxiety, and even physical illness.
2. Replace negative thought patterns. Reinvent the way you think. Instead of focusing on everything that went wrong, I want you to concentrate on everything that can go right. Don’t say, “I can’t.” Instead, say aloud to yourself, “I can.” When life begins to get you down, throw a boomerang of happiness. When you project happiness, it comes back to you. Break here
3. Visualize your success. I can’t stress this enough. In order to start creating prosperity in your life, you must imagine the success that you can achieve. Figuratively speaking, you need to get down to the nitty-gritty details of what it is you want so you can embrace it fully. If you’re unhappy with your mundane career and are interested in pursuing a more exciting one; for example, in seeking a rewarding position as a firefighter, the first thing you need to do is imagine yourself in uniform. Imagine yourself dressed in yellow. Visualize the red fire truck, and you’re driving it to the fire scene. Whatever the career of your dreams is, you have to taste it, feel it, see it, and focus on it – every single day until you get it. In doing so, your intention transforms into action. Action results in the outcome you want.
That same methodology works well with anything that you are presently seeking. Doesn’t matter if it’s a job, a home, a relationship, health, wealth or prestige…whatever it is that your heart desires can become a reality when you remove the mask and start listening to your intuition and redefining your future.
