Worry: Release Worry … Embrace Nature to Release Worry
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing
Worry is an emotion which creates emotional distress, feelings of helplessness, and the mood of apprehension. Worry creates damaging stress — and, as we have spoken of so many times: Stress kills!
Worry occurs when you focus on outcomes that you don’t want to experience. Does that seem counterproductive?
It is.
Your subconscious mind creates that which you are thinking. Hence, when you focus on outcomes that you do NOT want to experience, you direct all of the mental power of your subconscious mind on the very things you do NOT want.
There is Good News!:Â You do NOT have to do this.
That’s right: You do NOT have to do this! Rather, you can focus your thoughts and ideas on the very outcomes that you desire to have be a part of your life.
How do you do this? you might ask. Read more

Love Yourself: Eliminate the Negative to Love Yourself!
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing
Here are two additional ways to show yourself self-respect. For you to experience self-love and self-respect, it is important that you release all negative ways of treating yourself.
First of all, let go of past mistakes. Mistakes occur when you judge your past behavior … and see it as a mistake. So, you might ask, “How else could I look at my past counterproductive behavior?” You could view your past actions as part of your life-learning.
Stop going through — or thinking about — your mistakes. It doesn’t do you any good. Rather, learn from your past mistakes and, once you have done so, move on. What you can’t change about your past mistakes, you can learn to avoid in the present and near-future.
In addition, do away with the negative criticism — negative criticisms are destructive. Instead of using negative criticism, focus on positive affirmations. As an example, instead of saying, “I am worthless”, you might tell yourself, “I am totally worth fighting for!”
When you do this, notice how you feel — and how you feel about yourself. Your words have power to influence your feelings … AND your actions. To take charge of your self-love and self-respect, allow yourself to focus on positive acknowledgement for, and assessment of, yourself.
