How to Get Your Energy Back

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

By Linda Binns

You can’t escape the things that drain your energy. Every day you are exposed to things, situations and people that will drain your energy. You’d have to completely isolate yourself to avoid them, and that in itself would drain your energy! They key is to have plenty of things in your life that energize you. The more you have that energizes you, the less impact the things that drain you will have.

These are all things that go on whether you’re aware of them or not. Every day your energy is fluctuating. When you become aware of where your energy level is in any given moment, that not only makes you feel better, but it also gives you some sense of control – a way to return to a state of feeling good when something knocks you off track. So let’s look at a few of the things that can restore your energy: Read More→

We often talk about becoming more spiritual or connecting to the divine. How do we do that? We know about meditation or other traditional practices, but not all methods work well for everyone. Here is one way to find out your best way to communicate more effectively with a higher presence.

We each have a way that is easiest for us to process new information. Auditory learners prefer spoken words. Visual learners prefer written material or images, and kinesthetic learners prefer movement. This preference, however, is not how we create or become more contemplative.

How to Face Change With Balance

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

By Elizabeth Hendry

It is a well know axiom that people do not like to change. Yet change is an integral part of living. We start off as babies and grow into adults. We learn skills, change jobs, grow old and die. Change is inexorable: we can embrace it, or shut our eyes to reality and reject it. I suppose that the ways we respond to change largely results from the ways that our parents did. If they adapted well to new situations, your are likely to do so too.

If you have difficulty with change, and you want to be able to face it with pleasure, rather than fear, then I have a suggestion for you. The first step to effective change is to be fully aware of what the real situation is and understand how your early days influence how you respond to the world today.

You felt wonderful, he was attentive and you were on a perpetual high… you were high on love and he was the fix that you needed and you needed him… and all of him frequently. But now the spark is gone, you feel taken for granted and all your happily-ever-after hopes and dreams have crashed and burnt. So what are the secrets of good relationships? What are the hidden aspects of happy relationships?

1. Mutual respect! Yes, you do need a two people reciprocal admiration society composed only of you and him. This may be a challenge if you have been together a long time as familiarity has a way of eroding the qualities you once found so amazing. Read More→
