Mindset & Miracles: Mindset Coach, clarity, heart desires
Miracles happen. Slow down the giddy pace of constant thinking and busyness. Breathe fully into the present moment with nowhere to be except now. Let time stop still and open your awareness to see differently from usual. You can experience miracles every day.
Life is full of turning points. That moment when the job, career or relationship doesn’t feel right anymore. You can sense it. Something new is calling you. A change, a new direction. At the same time, you cling to the edge of the chasm between old and new. Intuitively you know, yet your mind resists. It’s time to trust and let your inner guidance show you the way.
All the same, as humans we find security in what is familiar and predictable. Any hint of looming change disrupts our sense of calm like sudden waves in a pond. We try to fend off change by clamping down our feelings and inner whispers.
We prefer to trust the thoughts in our head over our intuition, the inner guidance that is always present and ready to smooth out our path, when we listen.
Joy is such a high emotion that many people think of it as belonging in the realm of shooting stars and giddy heights such as falling love or winning the lottery. Your first step towards joy is willingness to experience it, despite circumstances and conditions.
For a deeply spiritual friend of mine, joy wasn’t her word. Highs for her are peace, connection and contentment. Her traumatic childhood has made it harder for her to be fully in her body and soar into ecstatic heights of bliss.
Yet, this same friend dissolves into smiles and joyful laughter when she sees cute kids. Captivated, she often walks up to the parent, with exclamations of delight.
Self love is the antidote to self judgment. When we let our critical mind run wild, it will likely pick us to pieces and leave our dreams strewn in tatters.
Why? Because self judgment is a toxin. It poisons your thoughts, muddies your instincts and clouds your vision. Your vehicle is like a spluttering engine that might take you down the road, but will never make it to your chosen destination.
It’s much easier to create and attract something you deeply desire whether it is a job or business you love, ideal clients, a quality relationship or an upturn in health and prosperity when your thoughts are aligned with love and appreciation.
You create your reality by transforming your thoughts.
By choosing self love versus self judgment, you begin to steer yourself towards moments of inexplicable joy.

You can cultivate the practice of mind awareness to catch the thoughts that hold you back from your dreams and mindfully shift gears into a fresh perspective.
We all do it from time to time. Worry, overthink, expect something to be hard. We approach situations with unquestioned stories that we tell ourselves, that make life harder than it needs to be. I call this negative visioning.
One of the stories I have to catch myself telling is expecting things to be hard. This way of thinking can sneak in, influencing how I feel when I decide to create a new workshop or event. Initially, I am fired up with inspired passion, which soon fades when I think about promoting and filling it. I all too easily remember what has been hard in the past, rather than reflect on my successes. Once I catch myself, I remember that, fortunately, I can choose a perspective that helps me to feel inspired and excited about promoting my event.
Practicing mind awareness is also about catching different self images that we can slip into, such as seeing ourselves as a victim, powerless, not good enough, burdened, alone or different. Equally, we might be compensating for feelings of inadequacy by trying too hard, being pushy or controlling.
