We are innately loving beings. When we are in touch with ourselves, and even if not, who we are radiates through our hearts to others. When we love, the flow can be a blessing and healing. However, don’t expect others to be able to have all of what you offer.
The love you are and beam outward will flow and be there for others. It is a blessing that may or may not be received, depending upon who can have it. Others have their own issues and agendas. They may not need or want your love right now. It is not a reflection on you or the quality of your love.
Now you can love without obligation or agenda. You can just be and allow others to be, as well. You’ve also opened up the possibility that others can experience you and your love and gain from it without you even knowing it. It’s a blessing for all.

Here are some tips to help you:
1. Please be kind to you. Realize that the situation is challenging. Emotional reverb is expected. Your emotions, like a sad child, will have a lot to say. Honor your feelings by noticing them and breathing through them. Let yourself calm yourself with your love and breath.
2. Download the limiting belief worksheet and the belief busting sheet from the bottom right side of my homepage (www.theawarenessinitiative.com). This will help you to pinpoint the beliefs that are supporting your pain. It will also help you to support that emotional child that is hurting right now.
3. Love the child and support her, but don’t honor the thoughts that are generated. Thoughts about what happened, what you did wrong, what will happen, what someone else did wrong, whether you’ll be able to handle this, how you SHOULD be …. are very unproductive.
The only way to deal with these thoughts is to stop thinking them. Don’t follow the train of thought. You have built a neuropath in your brain that you follow and you become it. Don’t follow it. Don’t become your thought. Drop the thought completely and return to your center. If you can’t do this meditate more often so that you learn how to not get caught up in the mind.
Meanwhile, there are other tricks: Think of something more productive. Think of anything else – things that aren’t relevant to the situation. Think about things you need to do or things you enjoy. Look around you and notice trees or flowers… or a Prada handbag, if that’s your thing. Look up at the sky. Think about your garden. Like a child, distract your mind from its obsessive, painful pattern.
There is nothing to be gained by thinking about painful issues. You can’t fix your pain this way. It’s a mind myth.
Honor the tremendous opportunity to build up your mind control muscles, and return to emotional support of yourself. Love you. And know, this too shall pass and you’ll be happier and stronger than you’ve ever been.

Call it what you will, asking for what you need at a deep and profound level not only connects you to Source, it connects Source to self. You are also setting your intention or desire, making it not only clear to the energy around you, but clarifying it to yourself. Remember to “put it out there” instead of fretting. You will then “imbed it inside” at the same time, allowing you to take your dreams to heart.

A few years ago I told my dad that I was trying to retire within 5 years. He said, “What will you do then?” Good question. What would I do? Would I read more? Watch more movies? Get more exercise? Travel? I realized that I’m doing as much of that as I’d like to now. I’ve been pondering this dilemma ever since. Would I be bored if I retired? If so, was I bound to working for the rest of my life?
I had an “ah ha” realization in Sedona a few weeks ago. I’d had enough work. It was time to release myself from my present obligations and stop working. I retired immediately. I was no longer obligated to do anything. I could now do whatever I wanted to. I was done and complete. If boredom was my plight, I’d face it. I was done. What a release and a relief.
So how has retirement changed my life? Not much. Now that I’m retired, I can do what I want. So, I do intuitive coaching. In fact, I’m doing more of it than before. I’m busy helping to restructure the behavior, communication and workflow of an international company. At the same time I’m acting as the interim CFO of my husband’s company (Bassett Printing). I realized that I LIKE doing all of this.
I’m exercising more than I did before I retired. Because of this I’m able to run again, while still working out with weights and doing yoga. I’m spending a lot of time with friends and with my husband. I’ve read several books in the past few weeks. Most of them novels.
I know it sounds like I’m very busy, and it’s true. I am. I’m at least as busy as I was before I retired. But, I’m having A LOT more fun. Why? Because I know I don’t have to do any of it. I’m retired. The retirement mindset is setting the stage for bliss. Just thinking about being retired makes me smile. I’m more relaxed knowing that I can do anything I want.
I’ve read quotes from many of our famous entrepreneurs that say we must do what we love in order to be successful. I can now tell you from a new perspective that this is absolutely true. When we let go of our obligations and self expectations, our fears and limiting beliefs, we can do what we do best. Few of us are actually couch potatoes. Most of us like to DO stuff. I love to do exactly what I’m doing now: Writing to you.
What do you love to do? You may consider retirement – from your beliefs, obligations and expectations. I’d love to hear about how you prosper once you do.

Listened do an “oldey” the other day and realized that The Pet Shop Boys gave perfect advice on how to judge if something is working for you or not: “Oh, I missed it. The more that it hurts, the less that it works.”
Somewhere in time I was taught that pain means gain. After years of dealing with pain I have to say, and years of gain, this is dead wrong. I don’t agree that we have to experience pain to have gain. My gain was not proportional to my pain. I’m giving up this limiting belief and embracing a new belief: Joy leads to more joy. Success is born from doing what feels good, not what hurts.
I’m not saying that life isn’t full of challenges. They happen. I can and will learn the lessons and move on. But, I don’t have to buy into the pain and do what hurts in order to get to where I want to go. Instead, I prefer to do what feels right and good right now.
I am now creating a fulfilling and successful life one breath at a time. Starting now.

I love this response from a client to my “What’s backing you up” blog (below) and article (www.theawarenessinitiative.com)…
People who “Back You Up” keep you in the past, steaming about “How could they DO that?!” while people who “Have Your Back” keep you in the present and moving forward. So much better to surround yourself with people who “have your back” instead of those who” back – and jack! –you up”…
So very true.

“How can I hold it together?”, he asked. The answer came on a whisper: “You can’t.” There’s nothing to hold together. Everything is expanding. It’s a time of transformation. Everything moves. You move. You smile, you breathe, you do what comes next with faith. You’ll float through stronger and wiser. Smile and you’ll find joy. Laugh and you’ll fly.

My husband and I were calling a bank officer yesterday via conference mode and got her assistant. The assistant said she’d give the message to the officer with our phone number. My husband said, “Thanks. Goodbye.” The assistant hung up. No “goodbye” or closure. Nothing. Just click.
Dave said, “That really backs me up. Why can’t people have the courtesy to say, ‘Goodbye?’” I agreed, it would be kind and respectful to say “Goodbye.” However, I pounced on the phrase, “Backed me up.” It’s so spot on. It’s exactly what happens when we get upset with people or life in general. We take issue with something and it backs us up. We get out of present time and start ranting and raving internally (or externally for those more verbal), instead of moving on with our intended life.
Why isn’t life the way we think it should be? Why don’t people act the way we think they should? Why are there so many pebbles, rocks and walls in the road? Perhaps it’s so that we learn to not get backed up by them. It’s just the way it is. We have to deal with it. Stay with what is on our plate and don’t let these obstacles back us up.
How can we avoid it? Here are some tips. First, watch it happen and you’ll know how toxic self righteousness can be. Other ways I cope:
1. Laugh at it. Make a joke.
2. Have compassion. The assistant is either having a bad day or a bad life. She’s stuck somewhere. I send love.
3. Maintain my boundaries. Say to myself, “Sorry, you’re just not worth it.” My happiness is more important than getting irritated by you.
4. Evaluate myself. Note to self, “Hmm. I hope I don’t do that. I need to be conscious of that behavior and see if I do that. It could be a sign or a lesson.”
5. Focus on the present. Say to myself, “It’s not my problem.” Is it? Can I work around this? Is this what I want to focus on now?
There are many opportunities in life to grow. An abrupt assistant gave me the opportunity to notice something in life and share it with you.
Enjoy the ride.
