In response to personal development posted by coachjerry:


I think we have the tools within ourselves. But we have a free will choice to use them, or not. All change takes work on our part. Be prepared to make the changes for yourself...there is no magic pill to changes.

Begin each day with an affirmation. Any positive thought has the ability to set our mind for the day in positive mode.

Of course, the stresses of the day can unsettle this thought...so we can affirm again. Then just before sleep affirm your own good again. It just may keep your dreams sweet.

Ritually I begin my day with affirmation and protection. The protection exercise I use is visualization:

Visualize a bubble (similar to one blown from a child's soap bubble pipe complete with the rainbow patch...rainbows are such magical, mystical symbols of bridges, connection, communication, and complete with a pot of gold at the end for prosperity). Realize its ability to filter all negativity...from within or without...keeping all thoughts sweet.

I was reminded recently of a saying...keep your words sweet...you never know when you may have to eat them.

The other tool is meditation. There are many reasons for meditation and a purpose to each one. Learn what works to keep your mind settled and meditate in that fashion.

God bless, J
