The Power of Sharing is all about being friendly, helpful and communicative with people in very warm and practical ways. One of the strengths inherent in the Power of Sharing is also being good at forgiveness. This is the aspect of this Power we want to talk about today. If you’ve ever noticed how the little grudges you’re holding on to make you feel less than neighborly with others, then you’ve seen how these concepts connect.

Those little grudges can siphon off a lot of your life energy leaving you drained and feeling anything but ‘peachy’. Here are some cues that your Power of Sharing could use some strengthening:

• You’ve lost good friendships because you couldn’t figure out how to forgive and move forward after something ‘went down’.
• You find yourself acting fake when you see your boss or that neighbor you had a run-in with, smiling on the outside, but seething on the inside.
• Sometimes you punish your spouse by not talking to them or withholding love when you’re angry with them…occasionally turning a small disagreement into a full-blown argument.
• You ‘forgive’ someone because you know you should (it’s the spiritual thing to do) or because you need to in order to get by (like a boss), but in fact you’re stomach is tight or you feel tense or angry whenever you see that person.
• You’re still processing with your therapists all the anger and resentment you feel about how your family treated you when you were young.
• You beat yourself up for all the things you think you could’ve done better or differently….how you’ve handled your money, how you’ve treated your health, how you treat your kids, etc.

“Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day
hoping that the other person will die.”

~Debbie Ford

What’s a quick and easy way to free up your energy? Lay down those hard feelings once and for all!

Chaya here….

I found this on the internet, and thought it was so beautifully written and critical to this topic:

“Forgiveness is not about condoning another’s hurtful actions, it’s about releasing your negative emotions and perceptions about the painful events.

Otherwise you keep yourself chained to those events or people – you keep it alive within you – and you carry it with you wherever you go.

It’s a very heavy burden to carry around and you end up crippling yourself emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.”

A few years ago in a blog about the Power of Sharing, I shared that I needed to up my game regarding forgiveness. I had become aware that there were a few sticky people from my past who did not move through my mind with ease, but created some tension when I thought about them.

In that blog I committed to a plan, and I’m so happy to tell you that I stuck with it, and it worked!

First, I took the Peach Vibrancy Essence daily to get myself vibrationally aligned with forgiveness.

Of course, first, I had to forgive myself for not getting around to letting those grudges go sooner, and for not being a more evolved human being.

Then, I returned to the book Radical Forgiveness, and did the exercises the author recommended.

It’s so freeing now to scan my life and realize that those people I’d previously been unable to forgive, now have, as Rev. Karyl Huntley says, “harmless passage through my mind.”

If old resentments are draining your energy, I highly recommend this process. Get yourself into vibrational alignment with Peach energy, the Power of Sharing, and then do the work needed to free yourself.

Forgive yourself and others and reconnect with your warm and friendly nature.

Tap into your Power of Sharing – it will make your life so much easier!

• You’ll heal old friendships and keep the current ones healthy and happy.
• You won’t develop ulcers from the unresolved grudges burning inside, and when you see those people you used to have anger toward you’ll feel peace and freedom, and be able to be real with them.
• You’ll find loving ways to get through those difficult moments with your spouse quickly and without creating unnecessary damage.
• You won’t forgive someone ‘because you should’. You’ll forgive because it feels better than hanging on to the hurt.
• Those victim stories of your childhood will transform and the resentment blocking you from having a totally loving relationship with your family will melt away.
• You’re confidence will go up, the misery will go down, and your health and sleep will improve because you’ll be less judgmental and more accepting of your actions and choices.

Here’s to friendship!

Inspired….juiced, ignited, filled to the brim with a sense of wonderment and magic. Is this you?  Maybe not every day or all the time, but would you say you have a general feeling of being ‘lit up’ by life? Kinda like that childlike spark just never left you? If you do, consider yourself among the fortunate. Life events and circumstances can take a toll on many people’s ability to feel inspired.
What’s it like to live without inspiration?

You might:

• Be bored with the same old routine you follow every day…but lacking any ideas or energy to change it.
• Feel burned out, or low on the mojo to turn your ideas into a reality.
• Think that your food is bland, conversations are dull, and the sky is always grey.
• Notice that you’ve settled for a mediocre relationship or go-nowhere job.
• Have the urge to roll your eyes at the next person who tells you to stop being so busy and take time to ‘smell the roses’.

Who wants boring when you can feel that
spring in your step and sparkle in your eye?

Chaya here…
Not too long ago, I discovered www.stumbleupon. First, you choose the categories that inspire you. I chose gardening, self-improvement, quotes, animals, vegetarian, fitness, and humor to get started.
Now, I get a little treat by clicking a button that says “Stumble”. It randomly gives me something from the world wide web that it thinks I would like….photographs, videos, articles and quotations that line up with my interests.

Many of my stumbles uplift and inspire me and give me new ideas for my own garden, my own cooking, my own life. Or I stumble upon a quote that changes my attitude for the better.
I’ll admit…..I’m feeling a little addicted. I’m often saying to myself, “Just one more stumble and then I’ll stop.”

So, is that bad? Is that a waste of time? John Lennon said, “The time you enjoy wasting is not truly wasted time.”

I would amend that to, “The time you spend finding and doing the things that inspire you is time used wisely.” Ok, it doesn’t sound as cool as John’s quote, but you get the gist.

There were many years of my life when I wasn’t consciously doing something that would inspire me.  And, the opposite of inspired is depressed….yeah, been there, and in all that grey area in between where blah and so-so live.

Personally, I find inspired to be the most alive place along that continuum. So, anything I can do, anywhere I can find it, I’m going there….because inspiration beats anti-depressants any day.
Where do you find your sparks of inspiration?

Whatever wakes you up to the wonder of life
is the key to your inspirational liberation!

When you’re lit up with the Power of Inspiration, you will…

• Be full of ideas and the passion to take action!
• Feel enlivened by nature, art, food, movies, and new ideas.
• Smell the fresh air, savor the yummy food, and feel that spark of aliveness in everything you do.
• Never settle for the ordinary, and never be bored. You’re alive with sizzle!
• Let that creativity inside you burst forth, and have fun tweaking all  the things that aren’t great in your life – like your relationships – until they’re so fantastic you want to shout from the mountaintops.

2 steps to wake up the Apricot Power of Inspiration in your life:

#1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I live an inspired life.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Inspiration Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will help you tap into your creative side and come up with ever new ways to re-engage your childlike fascination with life.

Stop and smell the roses, or stumble,
or whatever it is that fills your senses
and enlivens your cells!

“To succeed you need to find something to hold on to,
something to motivate you, something to inspire you.”

Just have to share this cute video/movie. It’s about 7 minutes long, but it’s a wonderful example of the magic that’s created out of inspiration.

Live inspired!

Does the word “home” make you feel warm and cozy? For many people, just the sound of it offers up an yummy image of safety, comfort, and being right with the world. It has the potential to create a sense of stability and groundedness….kinda like milk and warm cookies fresh out of the oven on a cold day.

If the idea of stability seems boring to you, or impossible to achieve, consider some of the challenges you might be facing without it:

• Change feels scary and unsettling to you.
• You freak out when little things go wrong, and totally fall apart when something big happens.
• Those extra pounds you’re carrying give you a sense of grounding and solidity.
• You crave comfort food a lot – maybe even the kinds of food Mom made.
• You don’t venture out into the world and try new things because you feel insecure.
• You feel uncomfortable in your home – or any home. You move a lot, trying to find that place where your restless spirit can finally settle.
• You feel lonely.

For a tree to grow up and expand out into
the sky, it’s gotta have strong roots.

Chaya here….

A few years ago, our beloved kitty, Koala, passed on. She was almost 22 years old!

Koala was like a heart-mate to me. It was when she arrived in my life that I finally began to discover the Power of Stability, and it was oh-so-healing.

Prior to her arrival, I had moved 16 times in 14 years, and traveled so much for diving competitions that I basically lived out of a suitcase. There was a lot of excitement, but since I didn’t have any internal stability, I had no sense of groundedness or home anywhere.

I felt very off balance and emotional much of the time….upset by the smallest things. Ok, let’s just be honest, I was a bit of a drama queen. I could go from enthusiastic and energized to the pit of despair very quickly.

Kind of like diving from the top of the 10 Meter platform to the bottom of the pool in 2.5 seconds!
And then….Koala came into my life and sat on my lap. And she purred. And she sat and purred some more, holding me in one place solidly, giving me a role as Mom.

With her on my lap, I felt grounded for the first time. She loved me unconditionally. She chased away the loneliness. Wherever she was, I knew was my home.

Over time I strengthened my Power of Stability, learning from personal growth opportunities and people who had strong, healthy Sky Blue energy. The drama began to melt away.

Recently, Jamie and I just celebrated 17 years living here in our house. Now the feeling of HOME in me is one of the deepest, most joyful, peaceful, loving, comforting experiences in my being.

Losing Koala was so hard for both Jamie and I, but I will forever be grateful for the initiation into Sky Blue energy, and that feeling of home and family, that she introduced into my life.

One of my wishes for you is to have that sense of home….first and foremost, within yourself, and then also with family, friends, animals, and a place where you feel loved, warm, stable and secure.

You have the Power of Stability within you!

Here are some of the benefits of balancing and strengthening Sky Blue energy:

• You’ll feel centered and whole even if things all around you are falling to pieces. You’ll remain the calm center of the storm. (You may even find your friends and family feel comfort in just being around you!)
• Even if big change is in the air, you’ll feel secure, confident, and rooted in who you are and what’s really important in your life.
• You can let go of those extra pounds because you’ll feel grounded, solid, and secure in your life from within your own being.
• You’ll find comfort and take care of yourself in healthy ways, consciously eating your favorite foods because you enjoy them, not because you need them to sooth you.
• Your spirit can finally settle into a peaceful, restful home life, with other 2-legged or 4-legged friends to share your love and life with.

2 Ways to Root Yourself in the Sky Blue
Power of Stability:

#1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I am stable and secure.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Stability Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will help you establish and maintain a sense of security that can sustain you even through times of change.

Take the cozy comfort of your own
home wherever you go.

Welcome home!

When your Power of Wisdom is strong and healthy, you “get” the spiritual connection behind everything. With this deep sense of the underlying meaning of life events, you can wisely deal with the everyday surface stuff.

But without this Power, you might find yourself in some pretty uncomfortable places. Do any of these familiar to you?

• You’re so bogged down with job, family responsibilities, bills, and financial stress, you feel like life has lost its true meaning.
• Your soul feels like its withering and dying of thirst in the desert.
• You’re sick and tired of suffering in the dark with no answers.
• Anxiety and fear are the current dictators of your life.
• You feel lost and alone in the world, like a child separated from Mom at a carnival.
• Sometimes you just shake your head and think to yourself, “What is it all about? What’s the point?”

What if you didn’t have any visual depth perception, and everything appeared in 2D like on a flat screen? You would bump into things, you wouldn’t be able to catch a ball hurtling toward you, and you definitely couldn’t drive a car. Being low in the Black Gold consciousness is similar – only what you’re lacking is spiritual depth perception.

Dive deep, look beyond, search for meaning,
and ask the big questions.

Chaya here…

I remember when I was 20, and grieving deeply for the loss of my Dad. I’d been feeling very lost, confused, sad, and victimized. I was looking at a bookshelf when one of the titles pulled me in like a magnet: Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

It was the first spiritual/metaphysical book I’d ever looked at, and as I let it fall open I found so many words of comfort to heal my anger and fear.

To this day, I don’t remember what the pages said, but the title has never left me. “Why do bad things happen to good people?” was the beginning question of a deep spiritual quest for me.
Later it became, “Why does anything happen?” and also “Why do good things happen?”  All these led me to wonder about my soul’s development. They gave me permission to contemplate the mysteries of the Universe and my life.

Do I have the definitive answers? No, but I find that the answers that have come offer new depth and give me a sense of meaning.

And I keep asking, I keep delving into the mysteries. It’s all about the journey with the Power of Wisdom.

Find the treasures hidden underneath the surface of life.

When your Power of Wisdom is alive and well, you will….

• Find meaning in all the moments and experiences of your life – whether you’re paying the bills, driving your child around, or sitting in meditation or prayer.
• Feel your soul singing with the awareness of the spiritual essence that saturates your being.
• See the underlying meaning behind what happens in your life and feel comforted by the realization that there are no ‘accidents’.
• Relax into life, and let yourself be guided by a deeper truth, rather than be distracted by some crazy event appearing on the surface.
• Develop an internal sense of the interconnection of all beings and the vast Universe you live in….which includes you!
• See your life as a spiritual journey to be lived, and not just a collection of random events that torment you.

2 ways to dive into the Black Gold Power of Wisdom:

 #1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I trust and rely on my deep wisdom.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Wisdom Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will help your mind open up and access the deeper truths for you, freeing you up from feeling stuck on the surface of life, and whipped around by situations that just don’t make any sense.

It’s not so much the answers that draw us.
It’s the search that enlivens us.

“…if we thoughtfully proceed, if we recognize with equal sensitivity
the vision of objective science and the revelations of deep introspection,
we move from information to insight, knowledge to wisdom….
The best of journeys rarely lead to definitive answers.
They simply lead to more questions.”

~ Gotham Chopra

Dive deep, but don’t forget your headlamp!

Even if you show no signs of being a born Picasso, do you still wonder if you really have that seed of creativity lurking deep inside? The answer is, yes! Creativity comes in many forms, and shines through you in ways you may be overlooking or taking for granted. When you widen your view, you can discover the artist that you are!

You may be out of touch with your Power of Creativity if you…

• Took it to heart when your grade school teacher told you that you weren’t artistic.
• Feel like some people are just born artists, and that they have something special that you don’t.
• Are convinced there isn’t a creative bone in your body, simply because your drawings of people are always stick figures.
• Try to write something only to find that all the words seem to flee, and you’re left staring at the blank screen.

Creativity comes in many “shades and colors”.
Notice how it shows up in you!

A few years back we were in Michigan at hospice with Jamie’s 95 year-old Mom, and as a family we were all reviewing this amazing woman’s creative life.

She had 6 kids and was the matriarch of 26 offspring total, including a great great grandchild! Yes, creating and raising children is an expression of creativity!

She also owned and ran her own real estate business, and for a creative hobby she remodeled and redecorated houses. When she felt too advanced in years for that, she built miniature homes and decorated them. Up to a week before she went into hospice, she still drove, went to her book club, and did the NY Times crossword puzzle!

As we sat with her during her final hours, it felt like we were connected through her to some place of divine creativity, as she seemed to sometimes be having conversations with us, and sometimes with angels.

At one point, she said, “My bridesmaids dresses are really pretty. You’re really going to like them.” Even then, she was remembering her more creative moments.

The Power of Creativity is in each of us,
regardless of age, gender, background,
or childhood!

As with all the Vibrancy Powers, this is a light frequency, flowing through your body, just awaiting your awareness and channeling.

When you’re connected to the Power of Creativity, you:

• Know you’re creative no matter what anybody else says, because you can feel it inside just waiting to come out!
• Realize that creativity takes many forms, and you celebrate the unique way it flows through you.
• Don’t waste time judging yourself for what you can’t do. Whether through writing, dancing, music, art, speaking, parenting, or how you live your everyday life ~ you connect deeply with your own artistry and it shows.
• Open the gates and let those juices flow, knowing that there’s no one ‘right’ way to express the creativity that lies deep inside.

Claim Your Inner Artist with the Purple Gold  Power of Creativity: 

#1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I express my creative gifts and talents!”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Creativity Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will help unlock your creative self, and express what’s inside for all the world to see and enjoy.

 To live a creative life,
drop your fear of being wrong.

“Creativity is neither a rational deductive process,
nor the irrational wandering of the undisciplined mind,
but the emergence of beauty as mysterious as the
blossoming of a field of daisies out of the dark Earth.”

~ Thomas Berry

Affirming the eternal artist in you!

There’s no substitute for being patient and keeping your cool in the middle of a topsy-turvy world. You can remain peaceful in the middle of challenging situations, and be a calming influence on everyone around you. It sure makes dealing with the many demands in life so much easier!

To find out if patience is a lost art in your world, ask yourself these questions:

• Does your blood pressure shoot off the charts every time you find yourself stuck in traffic moving as slowly as you could walk?
• Do you have big emotional swings? Whipping back and forth between hot and bothered, and cold and withdrawn?
• Do your relationships follow this pattern?: irritation builds, tempers fly, hurtful things are said that just can’t be taken back, followed by a lot of time spent trying to patch things up and rebuild trust?
• Are you a door-slammer, a yeller, one of those people who always seems to be storming out of the room when things don’t go your way?’
• Do you tap your fingers (and your feet!) in frustration when the people ahead of you in line are taking their sweet time, and ignoring the fact that you have more important things you’ve got to get to?
• Do you feel guilty about how judgmental you REALLY feel about other people much of the time?
• Are you spread so thin, that you don’t have an ounce of patience with your kids anymore?

If a puppy can learn patience,
surely you can too!

When we got Coconut at 8 weeks old, she had what we saw as an ‘eating disorder’, meaning, whatever she saw, she ate: paper, socks, mulch, rocks…if it was on the ground it was in her mouth and down her throat.

And when we gave her actual food, she snorted and inhaled it in the blink of an eye, and then had hiccups and indigestion. She had no patience!

It turns out there are a lot of cool dog toys that make them work hard for their food. They have to toss the toy, or roll it, or pry it open to get their food, and even then it’s only a little at a time.
One of our favorites was a bottle you put the food in, with a rope at the opening. She would have to stand on the rope and push the bottle back and forth to make a piece of kibble fall out. Sometimes a meal would take 15 minutes.

But she learned it – now she eats normally, and leaves the mulch for the plants and the socks for our feet. So yes, you too, like Coconut, can develop the Power of Patience. Maybe you just need a food toy.

Coconut, then                         …. and now!

Equanimity here you come!
The Power of Patience is a frequency
all around you – yes, even in your body.

When you’re connected to the Power of Patience, you will:

• Feel calm and centered while you’re waiting in slow traffic. You’ve learned…stressing over it doesn’t speed things up.
• Stay so even-tempered that people just love being around you. You calm THEM down without even trying.
• Have time to enjoy the good stuff in your relationships, because you are no longer pouring your energy down the rat hole of petty fights.
• Revel in your ability to keep your cool no matter what’s happening around you. How strong and centered you’ll feel!
• Peacefully wait your turn in the check-out line. The folks ahead of you need a little nurturing too.
• Feel free of judgment as it melts into appreciation and acceptance.
• Keep your cool with your kids, regardless of how much they try to test you.

2 Ways to Steep Yourself with the
Power of Patience:

“I am patient, loving, and even-tempered.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Patience Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Patience, and help you stay calm and unruffled regardless of what is going on around you.

Stay cool!

When your brain is online, you are sharp as a tack, and quick with facts. But if things are little slow up there, read on. We’ve some good tips for you.

How’s your ability to concentrate and process information these days? Are any of these familiar?

There were three things you wanted to remember to do when you got home from work today. What the heck were they?

Your new neighbor just came over and introduced herself. But now you’re embarrassed, because two minutes later when you turn to introduce her to your husband….you can’t remember her name!

Your brain just crashes like a frozen computer when you try to tackle your checkbook or you have to work with numbers.

You’re concerned you’ll look dumb at Game Night. It’s Trivial Pursuit this time. You used to know a lot of those answers, but are sure you won’t be able to recall any of them now.

You’re drowning in emails. There are too many and they’re coming in way too fast. You just close your Inbox and hope they’ll all evaporate.

You’re anxious because your memory seems to be getting worse every month – you wonder if you’ll even remember your own name and address by the time you hit 70!

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was something to blame for your sluggish concentration and fuzzy, foggy brain?

We were in Barnes and Noble last week and the young woman helping us seemed to be having a concentration-challenged day.

When she tried to look up a book title for us, her computer froze. As she tried to find the book on the shelf, she couldn’t remember exactly where the section was. Later she checked us out, and gave us incorrect change.

“I think my baby ate my brain,” she said, as she patted her pregnant belly. We all had a good laugh.

It’s time to reclaim your brain! Call in the Power of Concentration!

When you’re connected to this energy you’re a master at assimilating facts:

Your mind is like a steel trap and you easily access your memory bank.

You don’t panic when you want to introduce someone. You get their name the first time, and it sticks.

You easily use technology to process all the information you don’t want to, so you have room in your brain to process what you do.

Thinking clearly is your new normal. Trivial Pursuit? Jeopardy? Where you put your keys? No problem!

That sharp mind of yours comes up with a system for quickly and efficiently managing your emails, plus all the data and the information that flies across your desk every day.

2 Ways to Turn on the Power of Concentration:

#1: Say or sing this proclamation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I concentrate easily.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Concentrate Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Concentration , and help you access your natural brain power so you can zero in on the facts you need and get on with your life.

Life’s not only about the facts, but mastering them opens the door to what’s behind them. 

“We must rise above the obsession with quantity of information and speed of transmission, and recognize that the key issue for us is our ability to organize this information once it has been amassed – to assimilate it, find meaning in it, and assure its survival for use by generations to come.”

~ Vartan Gregorian

Here’s to your brainpower!

Are you tapping into your Power of Altruism, showering others with your deep care for their well being? Or….

• Do you already feel so swamped with people and things to take care of in your own life that the thought of helping others sends you over the edge?
• Do you feel guilty because you ignore all those email campaigns that flood your inbox every day, sending you into ‘save the planet’ overload?
• Are you so painfully lost in your own issues that it never crosses your mind to devote your time and energy to a cause?
• Are just too depressed to feel like you can muster up the energy to help anybody, not even your next door neighbor?
• Are you frustrated because there just too many causes to pick from? Do you stall out trying to decide which one to sign on for?
• Do you feel like you there is no way you could really make a difference anyway?

If so, you’re not alone. But there are some really good reasons to clear the overwhelm and exercise your Power of Altruism. First of all….

Have you heard the starfish story?

There’s a little girl walking along a beach that’s covered with starfish for as far as she can see. Thousands of them have been washed up on shore with the tide, and they’re dying in the sun.

The little girl is walking along, picking up one at a time, and throwing it back into the ocean.

An older gentleman walks up to her and asks her what she’s doing.

She says, “I’m saving the starfish.”

He replies, “But there are thousands and thousands! You can’t possibly make a difference here!”

She reaches down, picks up a starfish, looks at it intently, then hurls it into the water.

The girl looks up at the old man and says, “I just made a difference for that one.”

The Power of Altruism is within you!
It’s the Blue Topaz frequency, just waiting
to come alive and be a part of your life.

You may think what you do is only a drop in a bucket, but those drops add up and become an ocean. Your actions will impact a whole lot of people and tons of circumstances (that you may never know of) down the line.

Strengthen your connection to this frequency and you’ll feel that Power of Altruism come alive within you. You’ll feel:

• Powerful in taking a stand and making a difference for what you care so deeply about.
• An infusion of new energy in your life, lifting your depression and disconnection.
• Your own issues and problems shrink, as the positive energy of focusing on easing someone else’s pain fills your soul.
• The deep satisfaction of playing your part in the big picture, and knowing your every action makes a difference to someone.
• That contributing to your cause of choice is so fulfilling that you’ll wonder if you should be paying THEM to let you do it!

2 Actions to Wake Up the Power of Altruism:

#1: Say or sing this proclamation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I make a difference in the world.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Altruism Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Altruism, and help you realize that all your tiny drops in the bucket of life make a huge difference. It’s just a matter of choosing the cause(s) you want to give your energy to.

There’s no time like the present to move
some mountains, one stone at a time.

“The best antidote for despair is action.”
~ Joan Baez

Thank you for the difference you make in our lives!

3 to 1…Apparently, that’s the magic ratio that will lead you to flourishing in life instead of languishing.
Many studies have recently been showing that if you want to be truly, deeply joyful, creative, and open that you have to have at least 3 positive thoughts or feelings for every one negative thought or feeling.
It sounds easy, doesn’t it? Sure, with the Power of Optimism flowing freely through your being, it would be.

But, if you’ve succumbed to all the fear in the news, or if life has just knocked you around one too many times recently, perhaps this has gotten out of balance making it hard for you to easily access your Power of Optimism.

Here’s what it might look like if the negative thoughts are winning in your life:

• At end of day, you feel drained and exhausted. You go home, flop in the chair and fret about all the challenges of the day, and worry about the new ones you’ll likely face tomorrow.
• Everything just feels so heavy, soooo difficult. There seems to be roadblocks at every turn.
• You find yourself telling everyone you talk to about how rotten everything is – how stressed you are, how your mother calls up to complain all the time, how your dog pooped on the floor yesterday, what a mess the political scene is….
• You’re just not having any fun. Everywhere you look, you see more reasons to give up. “Life sucks,” is your mantra.
• You’re whining about never getting ahead in your career. Clients don’t stick with you, your boss doesn’t give you a raise, people just don’t seem to want to work with you.

We’ve all been there, but have you gotten so used to the negativity and pessimism in your mind that you don’t realize how deeply it’s affecting you?

Do you want to remember the good stuff
or the bad?

A good friend of ours was just showing us her family photo album a while back. There were wonderful pictures of her kids and herself and her husband, in all their ages and stages.

There were photos of them laughing, playing at the beach, huddling for warmth in their tent on a camping trip, roasting marshmallows over a fire, opening presents on Christmas morning. To us there seemed to be a lot of joy and many great memories.

This simple experience of looking at these photos turned into a little healing moment for our friend though….she told us how she barely remembered all of those experiences! That when she thinks of all the years of the kids growing up, she remembers the fights, the stress, the car shuttling in traffic, the messy house, the times they got in trouble at school or had their painful heartbreaks.

She remembered the negative stuff very clearly. But all the joy, the positive experiences, the laughter, the play – that was all fuzzy. (Good thing she’s got the pictures to remind her!)

Of course, our friend knows about the Vibrancy Path, so the next thing she said was, “Boy, I think I really need to strengthen my Power of Optimism! For all these years, my attention has been captured by the negative experiences, instead of focusing on all the positive ones. Wow, how did that happen?”

Positivity can help you live up to 10 years
longer!  Use the Power of Optimism
that’s right at your fingertips.

As with all the Vibrancy Powers, this is a frequency in your energy field, just waiting to be called upon. It’s an energy that you can tap into to help you focus on the good in your life. Heal thyself of pessimism and see what life has in store for you! You will:

• Have plenty of energy to sink your teeth into life, because you’re not pouring it down the drain of misery.
• Discover that, no matter what people say, life can actually be fun! The good stuff has always been there, but now you’ll be able to really see it and feel it.
• Realize that when you look on the bright side, you see more options and opportunities for ways to make things even better.
• Find that you’re getting that raise or magnetizing more clients who just can’t wait to spend time with you and your sunny disposition.
• Accentuate the positive – and it’ll rub off on others. Everyone around you will start noticing what’s good about life, and the positivity will multiply.

2 Ways to Tap into your Power of Optimism: 

#1: Say or sing this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:

“I direct my thoughts toward the positive.”

#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Optimism Vibrancy Essence daily. This remedy will align you with the energetic frequency of Optimism, and help you open up to all that is good in your life.

Choose Optimism!

“WAY TO GO! Wow! That’s awesome!”

When was the last time someone said something like that to you?

Sallie, one of our Vibrancy Signature Coaches, was just telling us how she says this kind of thing to her grandson, Alexander, all the time…accompanied by a thumbs-up or rowdy applause.

I used to get and give “Woo-hoos” every day, when I was training for the Olympics in diving. Throughout practice all the divers would whistle and cheer for each others’ great dives. We fed on all the enthusiasm and it kept us motivated to do our best and try to be the next one to earn some high-fives.

So WHERE IS THAT in our everyday adult lives??!

How many times a day do you get woo-hoo’d? Can you even remember the last time someone gave you a shot of enthusiasm, patted you on the back and told you how amazing you were and what a fantastic thing you’d just done?

Remember Miss Manners and all the rules she laid down about how to conduct ourselves in society? Wouldn’t it have been great if she’d decreed that it’s impolite NOT to fist-pump and thump someone on the back with a “Way to go!” whenever they did something well?

Can’t you just see it?…..You give a customer excellent service and afterward, when your peers or your boss don’t applaud you, you’d think, “Well, that was rude. You didn’t jump up and down about how awesomely I handled that customer. Hurrumph.”

But no, it’s not considered rude. It’s ‘normal’! You do what’s expected of you and people only notice when there’s a mistake. That’s not much of a motivation to do things better, much less enjoy the process.

Should high-fiving enthusiasm be reserved only for small kids and sporting events? No Way!

If the Power of Enthusiasm has been dampened down in your world, then here’s some of the effects you’re possibly feeling:

• You drag yourself through your day with no juice coming from anywhere or anybody to make you feel like what you’re doing is worthwhile.
• You contribute to the Starbuck’s fortune with all the espressos you buy just to get you through your week because your energy reserves are on empty.
• You tank up on junk food to numb your melancholy.
• You lose friendships because you’re so absorbed in your own misery and lack of vitality that you just aren’t much fun to be around.
• You feel old, dull, and critical of anyone else that has the audacity to get excited about ‘inconsequential’ and ‘childish’ things.

But imagine…what it would be like if you were giving and receiving lots of woo-hoos every day?

Doesn’t reading that last statement just perk up your energy right away? Your Blue Green cells are probably getting pumped up just thinking about being showered with accolades on a daily basis rather than criticisms (or even just plain neutrality).

You might:

• Feel more loved and appreciated….like you’re not out on some island all by yourself, but that what you do is noticed and recognized by others around you.
• Engage with people and with your life more deeply, realizing that there’s lots to get excited about now that it isn’t ‘illegal’ to express.
• Begin to wake up others around you with your own ecstatic outbursts, expressive comments, and all that vitality you start letting out of your bag.
• Make more friends by recognizing their accomplishments and motivating them to put their best foot forward!
• Start craving healthy nutritious food, because you just feel like keeping that good vibe going throughout your whole body.

How about you? Are you ready to get on the Blue Green train to bringing more enthusiasm into your life?

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
