Positive Thoughts

Self-love is the only answer.

Whether you have emotional or physical symptoms, they are your body’s way of saying, “I’m not happy with how you are treating me.''

Healing begins when you love yourself unconditionally. Symptoms are an expression of your denial of the need for self-love. The first step of healing is to completely embrace who you are right now. When you neglect self-love, it’s reflected in your relationship with others, your health, your work, and every other aspect of your life. The LifeLine healing process helps you see how, when, where, and why you’ve neglected your need for self-love. It allows you to appreciate the journey that you’ve already traveled on and prepares you for the road ahead.

To heal, you must accept where and who you are and love yourself unconditionally for being a perfect creation. Here are a couple of analogies:

You have to deposit money in a bank before you can withdraw it.

When flight attendants recite safety presentations before a plane takes off, what do they say about the oxygen mask? “Put on your own mask first before assisting others.”

Self-love isn’t self-indulgence, selfishness, or self-centeredness. Self-love requires that you own who you are at this moment, without judgment. True happiness is discovered during the healing process; it’s a by-product of the journey, not the end result

Your thoughts create your reality.

If your reality is other than what you'd choose then you can be sure that you’re living a life of reaction and as a result your subconscious mind is helping you to awaken your destiny to whole new you.

Go for it!

Remember when excitement and fear meet at a crossroads you know that you're on the precipice of a life transformation.

Self-love is the only answer. 

To change your life, begin by changing your thoughts.

It is useless to try to change your outer world unless you first change your inner world.  If you attempt to make external changes before doing the necessary inner transformation, the outer world will just keep repeating the same pattern.  The movie Groundhog Day illustrates a very entertaining lesson in how we keep re-creating the same situation over and over again until we change our mind.  The moment our attitude shifts, so does the situation.

If you want or love something a great deal, you will attract it into your life.  And if you fear or worry about something with emotional intensity, you will attract the object of your fear.  The universal manifestation machine is unbiased in turning your thoughts into reality.

If you are not aware that your thoughts are powerful, you will spend a great deal of time thinking and talking about what you do not want, and you will receive more of the same, and on and on, until your life is a mess and you have no idea why.  You will identity yourself as victim, find people who agree with you; and discover news stories, scientific studies, and all manner of evidence to prove that life is unfair and you are just a pimple on the complexion of the universe.

There is another way.  You weren't born to live small, and you don't have to.  You can shift your attitude now and begin to think about what you do want instead of what you don't want.  Then, the universe will have no choice but to give you what you are concentrating on in your favor, instead of against it.

Worry is the power of creation turned against your own best interests.  The same engine that runs your car in reverse will move it forward if you but reposition the gearshift.  To shift from reverse to drive, reframe your experiences to find the blessing rather than the problem.  Then you will become the master of your universe, rather than its victim.

What you become is not a result of what happens to you; it is a result of how you think about what happens to you. 

Here is your antidote to worry:  Choose a phrase that brings you release, relief, and empowerment, such as "Peace, be still," or "Love is the answer."  Whenever worry begins to set in, consciously and meditatively repeat your positive phrase until you return to peace.  The mind is capable of paying attention to only one thought at a time.  If you focus on ideas that uplift you, your mind will be unable to dwell on fearful issues.  Eventually you will develop the habit of positive thinking, and the worry that once haunted you will have no reality.
