Fearless Soul – Inner Glow Blog

Today is a great day!

I firmly believe that for myself as well as you. I was doing my morning meditation, and decided to check out this app I just heard about called Shine. In honor of national women’s day, it was featured in the App Store. So I said, why not?

The meditation for me today; referred to as my “Daily Shine”; was titled “Create Your Joy”. This really resonates with me because I’m into positive thinking, gratitude, and creating my reality. So, after I listened to Fearless Soul (I swear by them too!) I dove into my daily shine and…

This daily shine was really helpful! It put into perspective even more how easy it is to create your own bliss. I realized that there were small and/or simple things that bring me joy and by doing those things; I can make a better mood for myself thus, building better thoughts. And as they say- thoughts become things.

Thoughts Become Things. These three words, like Create Your Joy; are simple yet profound. They unlocked a new way of thinking for me. It made me realize that although unpleasant things may happen in life, that doesn’t make my entire life unpleasant. Yes, pain is painful. But with some positive thinking, that pain can teach a lesson, and maybe even create joy later.

For example: losing my father is the most insanely painful thing that I have experienced in my life so far. But that loss opened my eyes to a lot of things. After I grieved my loss and climbed my way out of depression (it’s a daily process) I began to focus on things that make me feel good. I really dug my heels into the Law of Attraction, meditation, affirmations, and gratitude.

These thought patterns reverberated into my daily life, my relationships, and my outlook on life. I am beginning to focus on my energy and my purpose. I have become a ‘curious seeker of what makes me light up’ (Fearless Soul)

And it feels great!

So, I challenge you to create your own joy. Take some time to think about things that bring you joy. And when circumstances start to go in a direction that doesn’t serve you- stop and reflect for a moment.

Ask yourself: what can I learn from this?

Think about a small thing that brings you joy…and then go do it! If you can’t do it right that second, take a deep breath and visualize yourself doing it.

We are Creators. So…

Create Your Joy!

Be blessed 💜

I’ve been on a journey for the last two months. I’m all about self improvement and being positive, but I had been having a hard time remaining in a positive state…until now. (This is my disclaimer: this journey is not for the faint of heart. ) It isn’t a magic remedy. It does take some work. But I kid you not when I say that this has been the best two months of my life! ‘What is this journey?‘ You ask?? Well, it’s two things that go hand in hand: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Law of Attraction (LOA) .

To be honest, I heard about the law of attraction several years ago. I’m only exercising it now because; well, quite frankly, I was too skeptical and close-minded to try it. But on my niece’s birthday (also New Year’s Eve) I received a visit that basically changed my life. My cousin, whom I will lovingly refer to as Miss Blue, came over and she was absolutely radiant! Don’t get me wrong; she’s a beautiful person, but there was something different about her. She exuded such a positive energy that I thought to myself; I want what she has! And she, being the person that she is; let me in on her secret. She herself had been on this journey for over a month. She told me that she had been practicing LOA and that it was really quite simple.

I listened intently as she told me how simple it was and that there were YouTube videos all about it. So it doesn’t cost you a dime to try! 🙂

And for the most part, it is simple. When I issued my disclaimer; I simply wanted to make my readers aware that this may not happen for you overnight. There are a few things that you should know.

You must be willing to honestly evaluate yourself.
You have to recondition and reprogram years worth of beliefs.
You have to be consistent!
Life still happens, but you’ll be more prepared for it.
You must have gratitude!!

If you are willing to do and accept those things, then you are already well on your way to greatness.

The first week was touch and go for me. I found myself complaining about random things and then remembering that I wanted something different for my life and going back to gratitude. Gratitude is essential in both NLP and LOA.

After the first week, I began to immerse myself in as much positivity as I could find. I watched YouTube videos – my favorite is “Learn How to Control Your Mind (Use this to Brainwash Yourself)”. It has some really great information in it! I’ve also added motivational content onto my iphone by Fearless Soul. This helps me get my mornings started. I also took a LOA/NLP course on groupon by Sharon Bolt. She had some great insight, and an inspiring story about how the Law of Attraction changed her life.

**Just in case you don’t know, NLP is basically reprogramming your way of thinking and the way you communicate with your brain. LOA is the belief that you attract the things that you think about. So, if you think about having a bad day at work, you will have a bad day at work. However, if you go in to work believing that your day will be great; then your day will be great. That’s the Law of Attraction. I learned while watching my aforementioned favorite LOA/NLP video that our brains are currently programmed to respond and react to memories. This essentially means that we spend each day living in the past. We don’t do certain things because we have a memory of something similar. We accept that we are going to have a bad day at work because we had a bad day yesterday. NLP teaches you to tell your brain something different. Don’t expect a bad day because you’ve had bad days in the past. Each day is new and you can decide what type of day you’ll have! Happiness is a choice.

The cornerstone of this lifestyle is gratitude. Take some time to look around you. There are so many things to be grateful for! My eyes are open to the beauty of this world and how blessed I really am. This is not to say that I will not strive for more- because I definitely will- but I’ve learned that success cannot be acquired without gratitude.

I’m still at the beginning stages of my journey, but it’s authentic. I feel the change on the inside and that’s exactly what I needed. I am evolving from the inside out and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me! Happiness is a choice; and I choose happy. So remember, stay grateful and be great.

Bye for now, beautiful people.
