Changing Focus to Change your Emotional State
Posted by Intuition Girl
QUESTION # 2
I am feeling all over the place. I am starting to feel cluttered in my mind and in my home and as a result, I am also feeling anxious. I am assuming that both feelings are interconnected but I honestly don’t know.
The holiday season is usually a time of great excitement, so I am wondering if that has something to do with it. In all honesty, I would like to feel more relaxed and at ease with myself…but it doesn’t seem to be happening.
I need help and I am hoping you will be able to give it to me. I don’t want to get sick and I certainly don’t want to create an accident because of my emotional state. Thank you
Lorraine C.
ANSWER:
Dear Lorraine:
Thank you for sharing where you are. I am sure there are many who are feeling the same way. The holiday season often finds people feeling anxious and sometimes out of control. When that happens to you, take several deep breathes in and relax. You are in control of your behavior and emotional state. Remember that!
Do not allow your circumstances to dictate your life. How do you do that?
1. When you recognize that anxious state, immediately try to shift your energy. Think of something that is calming and relaxing.
2. Change your focus—a short prayer or mantra helps me center and ground myself and it definitely shifts my energy.
3. Daily morning meditation ( even for a few moments) will help set the mood for the day.
4. Clean up your space—whether at home or work. Physical clutter is the breeding ground for mental and spiritual clutter.
5. Good eating habits and regular exercise are vital for your overall state of being. Junk food weights you down in more ways than one and keeps you sluggish.
A brisk walk once or twice a day will help you stay balanced. I find this process important for my personal overall healthy state.
6. Get a good night sleep – that is not silly but absolutely necessary for maintaining a healthy state of mind.
All of the above takes discipline and effort on your part. There are certainly times in my life when I want to give into my lesser ego self, but I truly know and understand that if I want a healthy and balanced life and if I want to enjoy the abundance that life has to offer, I—no one else—it is “I” who must decide what choices I honestly need to make to reach my desired outcome.
This can be a wonderful and playful time of year. I warmly invite you to practice these steps because I know you will begin to enjoy yourself more. Celebrate your blessings and honor you for who you are.
Many Blessings,

How to cope with life’s circumstances
Posted by Intuition Girl
Dear Joan Marie,
I have a question for you. Have you ever stopped to notice how some people just seem to cope better with life’s circumstances? I look around me and I see people laughing and having fun and somehow I feel as though I am missing something. Is it because they’re lucky or is it because they’ve just learned how to accept the blessings that life has given them? I could use some insight about now.
Thanks ,

Answer
Dear Gloria Jean,
I want to answer you question with a little story. It is all about changing your perception in life.
Recently I had a lively conversation with an elderly gentleman; who out of the blue, began telling me a little bit about his life story. We were both sitting in the park and he was observing some young people whose hair color, style and their behavior seemed very strange to him.
Needless to say, he began speaking in a soft tone about his travels around the world – how he’d jumped over 100 times from a plane during the Vietnam war in ‘68, and about the pride he had in his son, who is now in the military.
As he spoke, he had a gleam in his eye and he never once complained about the troubles he had seen or experienced. He was such an inspiration, in fact, that words escaped me. As I continued to listen to this man, I could feel a sense of happiness – and a sense of radiance. Suddenly, it dawned on me that he was walking with a rolling walker. I guess he noticed my catching the sight of his walker, when he said, “Yep…I got this when they had to take half my leg in Vietnam,” he continued, “The docs have done all they could for me, and I’m just blessed to be here today.”
Getting “past the hard stuff” had apparently been his motto in life; and here he was today walking with half a leg, and never once blaming anyone or anything. I imagine that through all his trials, he had never thought of them as such. Challenges, maybe…but never bad luck. Then I began thinking about how during the entire conversation, I had never noticed his “handicap;” presumably because the man never let on that he had one.
You see, getting past the hard stuff in life is what makes us grow and learn. It’s not that God is punishing us for being who we are – He’s merely giving us a push to get us going to where we need to be in life. I never got the older man’s name, but I assume wherever he is right now, he is glowing in his radiance, and enjoying the life that God has given him. Shouldn’t we all be thankful for the life God has given us? Start smiling and do something that will bring fun into your life.
Until we speak again, I am
