The Law of Attraction and Critical Thinking

2 Comments

img-0Do you believe that if you continuously send vibrations out into the universe, they will meet ‘like’ vibrations and attract those things into your life?

It doesn’t make sense to me when I hear people talk about the Law of Attraction like that, however I do believe that when you make a firm decision to make something happen in your life, you will put into motion whatever it takes to make that thing happen. [Read more…]

BalanceYou have the strength and resources you need to create the balance that you deserve in your life. But there is a way to achieving balance that many people aren’t aware of. Well, 6 ways in this episode to be exact.

Balance creates more consistent states of happiness, and also allows you to make decisions and take action from a place of power, not fear.

In this episode, we dive into some deeper-level stuff that you may not necessarily have associated with balance. But by the end, you might discover something about yourself that helps you resolve some of the challenges in your life. [Read more…]

I’m Outta Here! Plant Your Emotional Roots.

Leave a Comment

Rainbow-RoadsI’ve been packing and cleaning for the last two days, and will be starting my journey from Oregon to New Hampshire either tomorrow or Thursday (haven’t decided yet). A friend asked me about the memories I have here and I couldn’t come up with any really good ones!

I’ve lived here for three years, and made some good friends, but I’ve hardly had any actual “experiences”. In other words, I’ve planted no emotional roots here.

Boundaries are the rules we set up that dictate the people and experiences we allow into our lives. These rules also drive our decisions and behaviors, so that we can achieve a certain level of comfort and stability.

In other words, if you feel comfortable with someone, you share and give more of yourself. You can allow yourself to be more authentic, and feel vulnerable yet safe. These are the people you allow into what I like to call your “castle walls.”

If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, and they’re asking or pressuring you into doing things you don’t want to do, these are the people you keep out beyond the moat that surrounds your castle. You don’t let them cross the drawbridge, because if you do you’ll certainly compromise the integrity of your castle.
