Leave It. Change It. Accept It…
Claire Obeid writes:
I’ll never forget the first and only time I read Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now. Forever etched in my heart and mind is one key message…
“Leave it. Change it. Accept it.”
No other concept has run clearer bells for me since then. Despite the hours I spend devouring up as many spiritual, self-help and wellness books, I still find myself reciting those words like my own personal mantra – it’s how I live my life. It flutters in my mind during yoga, it catches my attention when I’m alone, it nestles into my heart when I need it the most. Not to mention that I enthusiastically pass this little gem on to my health-coaching clients in an effort to incite some calm into their world.
Every time you’re faced with a stressful situation, when you’re working at something without a return or when your ego and emotions get the better of you, just look to these three steps. See them as your spiritual compass to guide you into a calmer, clearer frame of mind.

The Power of Going Slowly
Kute Blackson writes:
Life will soon be over.
Are you making the most of each moment?
Everything in our world today moves so fast.
High speed internet.
Fast food restuarants.
Planes that fly around the world in a matter of hours.
Speed dating.
Yet, are we anymore fulfilled and happy as human beings?
We busily rush around multitasking ten things at once, trying to get somewhere.
Where are we trying to get to so fast?

Get off the hook…
Melody Beattie writes:
We can learn not to get hooked into unhealthy, self-defeating behaviors in relationships – behaviors such as caretaking, controlling, discounting ourselves, and believing lies.
We can learn to watch for and identify hooks, and choose not to allow ourselves to be hooked. Continue reading “Get off the hook…”

How To Let Go Of Codependency
Shelly Bullard writes:
Codependency is one of those words that gets tossed around a lot, but I’m not sure many people really know what it means. The definition can be both vague and all-encompassing.
Codependency is not a word I use too often because I find that it can come off sounding derogatory—like something is wrong with you if you’re codependent. And I personally like to steer clear from labeling people as flawed.
But another reason I don’t use the word often is because I prefer the phrase “to be human”—because from my experience, we all have codependent tendencies. (So let’s agree to drop the pejorative label right here, shall we?)
The reality is, codependent behavior is quite common in relationships. Therefore it seems appropriate to give it some air-time. In this article I am going to discuss what I know about codependency and give you some suggestions on how to shift this pattern in your life.
Codependency is a word used to describe the process of using another person’s feelings to dictate how you feel.
So this could mean that you are dependent on someone else’s positive attention or positive affect to feel good. And this could mean that someone’s negative attention or negative affect makes you feel bad. (And anything in between.)
When you are codependent, you make another person your higher power. Your sense of well-being (and lack thereof) is dependent on them.

Dr. Wayne Dyer on Awakening: How to Make Your Life a Living Masterpiece
Dr. Wayne Dyer writes:
What if you changed your perspective and viewed your existence as an artistic masterpiece in progress?
Imagine your life as being an incomplete Michelangelo or Picasso piece that starts as a blank canvas, and that with every conscious stroke, turns more and more into a masterpiece that will be cherished by all who are touched by its radiating beauty.
In this 9-minute video, the inspiring Dr. Wayne Dyer gives his unique take on awakening and how to balance this spiritual pilgrimage with modern day pressures, such as the need to have success, in every facet of our lives.
Watch the video to hear how you can change your perspective from measuring your worth based on your success, to seeing your life as a masterpiece in progress. The paradox to this, of course, is once you shift your focus away from the things you’ve been tirelessly striving toward, those very same things often turn up in abundance once you stop looking for them. Funny how the Universe works sometimes.
Share with us below what you think of Dyer’s beautiful analogy of making your life a living masterpiece.
