I finished another book this week! This one I recommend to EVERYONE. It's short and an easy read about personal growth and overcoming barriers to happiness and fulfillment and achieving your true potential.
A few points that stuck out:
- Upper Limit Problem- Each of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old, familiar zone where we feel secure. Unfortunately, our thermostat setting usually gets programmed in early childhood, before we can think for ourselves.
- Often times when we feel "sick" our bodies are trying to tell us we are on the wrong path. Listen to and acknowledge those feelings. If something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't.
- Quit thinking time is "out there." Take ownership of time--acknowledge that you are where it comes from and it will stop owning you. Claim time as yours, and it will release its claim on you. You always have enough time to do the things that are most important. When you stop complaining about time, you cease perpetuating the destructive myth that time is the persecutor and you are its victim. Some complaints about time most people use daily:
"I wish I had time to stop and chat, but I'm in a hurry."
"Where did all the time go?"
"There are simply not enough ours in the day."
"If only I'd gotten another hour of sleep."
"Love to talk, but I gotta run..."
"I have to get to the bank."
"I don't have time to do that right now."
- Four Barriers of Success:
- The false belief we are fundamentally flawed in some way. If we carry this feeling within us, we sabotage our success because we think we are essentially bad. If something good happens, we must mess up to offset it, because good things cannot happen to bad people.
- The false belief that by succeeding we are being disloyal to and leaving behind people in our past. If we harbor this feeling within us, we sabotage our success because we think it's disloyal to our roots to soar too far into the stratosphere.
- The false belief we are a burden in the world. If we carry this feeling inside us, we sabotage our success so we will not be a bigger burden.
- The false belief we must dim the bright lights of our brilliance so we will not outshine someone in our past. If we hold this feeling inside us, we tend to hold ourselves back from expressing the full potential of our innate genius.

It’s that time of year again!! Time to think about what we want to change and improve upon in a fresh new year! These goals should be made all year round instead of just when a new year hits! Lifestyle changes are what really need to happen in order for them to last! I was reflecting on the past year and was thinking about what I wanted to do and concentrate on in the upcoming year:
Start a gratitude journal- Write things I am thankful for that day right before I go to bed or something I did well. This will help me focus on the positive things in my life!
Practice self-care weekly- schedule one day a week for myself- watch movie, paint fingernails, take a walk, participate in a class, nap, read a book, get a massage, blog or journal. I have always found it difficult to relax and when I get burnt out my anxiety goes through the roof and my emotions run rampant! This quality "me" time is crucial for me to unwind and re-energize!
Love myself- this goes along with self- care. I plan on doing a thorough cleansing of my mind and body both this year! I am going to start working with a life coach on my past and taking the steps to stop living in the past and create an amazing future for myself. Relationship issues I have had previously have stalled my growth and I would like to clear them so I am more confident and can fully help others like I am destined to!!
One of my friends gave me this gift she made for Christmas. It was the most thoughtful present I have ever received! She knows me well and wants me to realize how truly amazing and beautiful I am both inside and out!!
Wishing you all health, happiness, and prosperity in the New Year!!
