Choosing Happiness
There’s nothing about happiness that’s not worth experiencing.
Perhaps that’s why its pursuit is named in the United States’
Declaration of Independence—along with the right to life and
liberty—as one of the fundamental rights with which we are all
inalienably endowed. . .
Dreaming Your Way to
Success
Some scoff at dreams as if they were nothing more than wispy clouds
of wishes, having no substance and definitely lacking in power to
propel one toward success. But I beg to differ.
Fishing in the Cosmic
Soup
We hear it over and over again, some variation of the statement that
you can achieve whatever you can conceive and believe. In fact, we
hear it so often that we dismiss it without giving it any thought,
imagining we already ‘know’ it. But do we?
Forgiveness: Hidden Secrets of the Neglected
Key
Outside of
religious or therapeutic contexts, few of us give much thought to
forgiveness. But it’s one of the most powerful means available to
us for releasing imprisoned energy, freeing the flow of both thought
and emotion, and generating creativity.
Is Hypnosis Right
for You?
Despite its
decades-long use as a successful therapeutic tool in clinical
psychology,
the word 'hypnosis,' still carries a whole string of unfortunate
images that keep a lot of people from giving it the serious
consideration it deserves as a method for improving their lives.
Self-Talk, Part 1: Do Affirmations
Really Work?
Self Talk. It flows
just beneath the surface of our attention—an endless commentary on
our moods, our situations, our physical status, our human
interactions. It makes its habitual judgments and choices quite
apart from our conscious purposes. Seldom do we really notice it,
but it’s there, coloring our experiences and directing the shape of
our emerging moments.
Self-Talk, Part 2: The Choice Method
Even when
they understand that affirmations are a description of a future
version of themselves, some people find the resistance they can
generate or the seeming "phony" feeling of them so uncomfortable
that they give up on using them altogether. If that's you, or
even if you love affirmations and just want a way to turn them up a
notch, the Choice Method may be just the solution for you.
Self-Talk,
Part 3: Question Your Way to Success
Go ahead--ask yourself anything: What
time is it? Is it too warm in here? Where’s the dog?
What happened as you asked? Did your mind automatically zip off in
search of an answer?
The
D.R.E.A.M. Technique for Energizing Your Goals
Get a few sticky notes or small
pieces of paper and tape, and write the "DREAM" on them. Then
use the letters of the word to walk you through these steps . . .
What Dreams Require, Part 1:
Identify Your Dream
The formula for translating a
dream into reality is a simple one, really: Identify what you truly
want, keep focused on it, let it guide your actions and, with a
light and grateful heart, accept that it is already yours.
That’s it. The whole enchilada. Different teachers may use different
terminology and place emphasis on different parts of the formula.
But essentially, that’s the whole “Secret.” It’s true, and it’s
real, and it works every time.
“Then why,” you might ask, “doesn’t everyone already have whatever
he or she wants?”
What Dreams Require, Part 2: Entertain
Your Dream
It doesn’t matter if your
dream is a full-blown Technicolor vision of an entire lifestyle that
you want to create or a modest little snapshot of a project you want
to complete by next summer. Once you have a dream, what it asks that
you do next is entertain it.
What Dreams Require, Part 3: Set
Your Dreams in Motion
"Nothing happens,” Einstein
said, “until something moves.” But move, and the whole world
changes!
Ah, that’s the scary step, the one where most folks fail. Dreaming
is one thing; making that first move is something else altogether.
What's
Belief Got to Do With It? (Part I)
“Change your thoughts, change your world”
really means changing your habitual thoughts, the ones
that cling together to create beliefs. A random thought, all by
itself, has little power. But entertain it with a little attention,
charge it with a little emotion, and soon you begin attracting
similar thoughts. Feed them enough, and soon they’re forming
beliefs, which generate the attitudes and expectations that motivate
your behavior.
What's Belief Got to Do With
It? Part II: Changing Beliefs
What you need to know about
beliefs in order to find the ones you want to change and to install
more satisfying ones in their places.
