As I sit down to write this blog post, I am flooded with memories of my past conflicts in various relationships. My life resembled a roller coaster ride, filled with unpredictable ups and downs. Little did I know back then, that I held the key to resolving these conflicts – taking responsibility. It never occurred to me that my own thoughts and negative attitude were the root cause of all these challenges. Instead, I found myself caught up in a cycle of blame, criticism, gossip, and sarcasm, feeling like a helpless victim of circumstance.

After enduring years of hardship, I finally embraced humility and realized the need for a shift in my mindset and attitude. I am deeply appreciative of the mentors, coaches, and teachers who guided me in recognizing my role in creating my own reality and equipped me with the necessary tools to embark on a transformative journey. It has taken immense dedication, discipline, perseverance, consistency, willpower, and faith to learn to cultivate harmonious relationships in my life.

I am thrilled to reveal the pivotal milestones of my personal evolution that have shaped my inner transformation today.

• The initial step I embraced was to develop a deep sense of love, acceptance, and self-approval. It became evident to me later on that without taking this crucial step, I would not have had the capacity to genuinely love and accept others.
  
  
• I discovered the importance of establishing boundaries. Whenever I encountered disrespect or abuse, I proactively expressed my thoughts to the person, always maintaining a respectful tone, and made it clear that their behavior was not acceptable. To prevent speaking out of anger, I would often jot down my emotions in my journal before setting these boundaries. This practice proved to be incredibly beneficial for my well-being, and I owe immense gratitude to my mentor, Billie Beth, for guiding me towards this healthier approach. 
  
  
• I embraced acceptance by relinquishing the desire to control others or impose expectations on their behavior. Instead, I dedicated myself to giving my best effort, avoiding any potential regrets, and entrusting the rest to a higher power. This newfound approach allowed me to truly embrace and understand others as they are, fostering a profound sense of compassion and empathy within my heart.
  
  
• Above all, I embarked on a journey to cultivate a profound connection with God. My faith endured countless trials, yet within the depths of my heart, a resolute determination blossomed, guiding me to embrace God’s guidance towards ultimate happiness and harmonious fulfillment in every facet of my life.

My journey has been incredibly fulfilling as I can confidently say that I now cherish healthy and harmonious relationships with my family, colleagues, friends, and God. Through my willingness to change from within, my entire external world has undergone a remarkable transformation.

If you are currently facing any difficulties in your relationships, it’s important to realize that you have the power to transform your life. By looking within and changing the beliefs or attitudes that have been holding you back, you can create a positive change. Don’t be afraid to give yourself permission to seek help and guidance from a skilled coach or professional therapist. They can provide you with the support and guidance you need to overcome any challenges you may be facing.

In order to transform any project into a reality, careful planning is essential. This holds true not just for projects, but also for our lives. It is crucial to make wise choices in all areas of our lives, including career, family, health, relationships, enjoyment, mental wellness, physical fitness, and our spiritual growth.

The most important part of our life planning to create a successful year, must be to have a plan, to have a definite intention, to believe that we are capable and an unyielding determination to overcome obstacles.

I’d like to share some tips that can help you prepare for a very successful new year 2024:

1. Let divine wisdom be your guiding light: Embrace the essential step of allowing your Higher Power to lead your life. Your success is of utmost importance to Him, and He wants to assist you in achieving your deepest desires. Let His wisdom illuminate your path. Take time each day to meditate and pray, allowing your mind to unwind and attune to His voice. Through your intuition, you will recognize the right choices for every aspect of your life.

According to the law of attraction, what you put out into the world, you will receive in return.

• Stay mindful of the incredible potential of your mind: Your thoughts, your language, and your actions have the power to shape your reality. Embrace the strength of positive thinking, use empowering language, and prioritize actions that benefit both yourself and humanity. Remember, everything you wish to create in your life begins within your mind. A positive thought will spark a positive response. Harness the power of affirmations and visualizations to attract what you truly desire. You are an active participant in crafting a remarkably successful new year through the power of your mind.

• Stay open-minded: Take time to reflect on your life experiences regularly to determine if any changes are necessary. This may involve letting go of old habits, embracing new and empowering ones, and looking forward to embracing your creative power as it brings you fresh ideas.

• Reach out for support: You don’t have to be a superhero and try to achieve your dreams alone. Be open to reaching out to others for help and support, and be willing to offer the same to others. Through our interactions with others, we can receive valuable creative ideas. Additionally, seeking the advice of professionals when needed can save you a lot of time and provide guidance for your projects.

The holidays are upon us, and with them, stress can show up at the door. Fortunately, we can choose to handle every situation from a place centered on inner peace. We do not have to go into automatic pilot, believing that the only way to handle life challenges is by responding with fear, anxiety, or reacting negatively to the behaviors of others. We can, instead, wisely choose to remain peaceful, trusting that a solution will come to us at the right moment.
 
What’s important is to pay attention, and when a challenging situation shows up, immediately take control of how you are responding to it. This is the gift of living in the present, in the now, so you are totally aware of your behavior and your internal dialogue. Living in this manner can avoid unnecessary stress and suffering.
 
I remember the days when I lived as an autopilot or like a robot, not thinking at all and instead reacting, in most cases, defensively or even angry, and feeling fearful and insecure. Little by little, I have learned that instead of reacting negatively to difficult situations, I could respond with calmness and faith that a solution would show up. I have learned not to take anything personally and instead to remain serene and learn to listen. I have learned not to have expectations and instead to always do my best and accept the rest as it comes. I have also learned that loving yourself is a very big part of being able to maintain my inner peace.
 
I’d like to offer some principles on how to maintain inner peace:

1. Meditate
The practice of meditation can help you stay focused and quiet your mind. Meditation helps you to make a conscious decision to leave the cares of the world behind for a while and stop worrying and planning for even a short period of time. You can learn to settle down and be still. Then you can bring into your daily life the peace that you felt during meditation. All you have to do is create the habit of doing it every day.

2. Breath
If you find yourself worrying, take a moment to do a round of breathing exercises, like inhaling and exhaling deeply 10 times, or you can do measured breathing: Inhale for 6 counts, hold the breath for 6 counts, and exhale for 6 counts. Adjust the count to whatever works best for you.

3. Love yourself
As you learn to love yourself, you open your heart to doing things that enhance respect and caring for yourself. You learn to find solutions that feel positive and harmonious and help you feel happy.

4. Accept what is
Acceptance gives you the opportunity to allow things to be as they are without actively trying to change them. This practice can contribute to better mental health, personal growth, and overall well-being. Acceptance also allows you to move forward more effectively through challenges. By embracing the present moment and accepting it as it is, you can focus on what is important and work towards positive change without denying or rejecting reality.

5. Always do your best
When you know that you have done your very best, you will not have any regrets, and you will feel at peace. It will give you a sense of relaxation knowing that you are honest, and therefore you will not have any regrets or doubts. Commit to becoming the best version of yourself every day, and leave the rest in your Creator’s hands.
 
I invite you to consider these 5 principles on how to maintain inner peace. Just imagine how your life can improve even more as you apply these principles in your daily life.

Compassion is often misunderstood as a sign of weakness, but in reality, it is a remarkable strength. I have dedicated years to cultivating self-compassion and self-love, and I can confidently say that it has profoundly transformed my life for the better. Most importantly, it has opened my heart to extend compassion towards others. This empathy has allowed me to forge incredible friendships and experience the pure joy of spreading kindness.

I’d like to share some tips on what has worked for me to cultivate compassion:

1. Start by practicing self-compassion
This practice serves as the cornerstone for cultivating compassion towards others in the future. It is a well-known fact that we cannot offer what we do not possess. Just like a dried orange cannot produce juice, if we lack the ability to be compassionate towards ourselves, we won’t be able to extend it to others. The key to learning self-compassion lies in embracing positive language, thoughts, and actions towards ourselves. By letting go of self-criticism and honoring ourselves as children of God, I discovered the true essence of compassion.

2. Speak with kindness
The power of our words can have a profound negative impact on someone’s life. That’s why it’s crucial to make a conscious effort to treat everyone with respect. By doing so, we not only bring peace and happiness to others, but also to ourselves.

3. Listen carefully and without judgment
Listening is a valuable skill that enables us to maintain a state of neutrality and unwavering focus. By actively listening, we convey respect and acknowledgement to the person sharing their thoughts, which in turn empowers them to discover their own solutions. It is not necessary for us to have all the answers or recommendations; simply offering a receptive ear can make a significant difference. Moreover, any ideas we contribute will stem from our intuitive understanding, as we remain open and attuned to our inner guidance.

4. Focus on people’s strengths
Each individual possesses unique and admirable qualities that we can shine a light on. By doing so, we empower them to recognize their own worth and shift their perspective to see the positive aspects within themselves. Furthermore, they will sense our genuine desire to assist them in overcoming challenges and assure them that there is always a viable solution available.

5. Accept people for who they are
By embracing self-acceptance, you unlock the power to embrace others just as they are. A critical mindset often leads us to disapproval of others because deep down, we harbor insecurities and doubts about our own worth. As we cultivate inner security, we gain the ability to wholeheartedly embrace people for who they truly are.

I invite you to consider these 5 tips and strive to cultivate compassion even at a deeper level. Just imagine how we individually can impact the world as we bring more of this quality into our daily interactions.

Just as a garden needs our care, our lives are like gardens entrusted to us by our Creator. Take a moment to reflect on what you have planted in your own garden. Are you satisfied with what you see, or do you feel the need to make some changes and plant new flowers? By doing so, your garden will come alive, vibrant, and filled with love and joy.

Give yourself permission to dream. Imagine a garden teeming with vibrant colors, where every flower blooms with its unique beauty. Now, picture your life as that garden, with each aspect representing a different flower. Are you content with the current arrangement, or do you feel the need to introduce new elements to create a more captivating and fulfilling experience?

Just as a gardener tends to their plants, nurturing them with care, you have the power to shape your own life. Take this opportunity to reflect on the choices you have made and envision the possibilities that lie ahead. Are there areas where you can introduce new passions, hobbies, or relationships that will bring more love and joy into your life?

Remember, life is a continuous journey of growth and transformation. Just like a garden, it requires nurturing, attention, and occasional changes to thrive. Embrace the opportunity to cultivate your own garden, sowing the seeds of happiness, fulfillment, and personal growth. With each new flower you plant, your life will blossom into a vibrant tapestry of love and joy.

Take a moment today to assess your garden and consider the changes you can make to create a more beautiful and fulfilling life. By tending to your garden with love and care, you will witness it flourish and radiate with positive energy.

Have you ever thought about what you would like to remove from your garden of life? Perhaps fear is a big one that comes to mind. Imagine clearing it out and replacing it with courage. And what about those pesky weeds that resemble resentment? You can uproot them and replace them with forgiveness, allowing your garden to flourish. And let’s not forget about stress. Picture removing it and replacing it with a sense of peace, creating a serene oasis. Do you see the possibilities? We have been given the incredible opportunity to nurture our garden of life with the most exquisite flowers, plants, trees, and greens imaginable. Are we truly making the most of our time here on earth? Are we carefully selecting the finest for our garden? Are we nourishing it with our authentic essence?

Harness the transformative force within you. If you sense the presence of unwanted weeds in your garden, I invite you to embark on a transformative journey right away to eliminate anything that fails to enhance its beauty. Bid farewell to jealousy, anxiety, envy, procrastination, gossip, selfishness, fear, sadness, judgment, anger, and any form of lack or limitation. Instead, replace these unsightly weeds with the blossoming virtues of trust, peace, generosity, responsibility, courage, cooperation, kindness, and prosperity, nourishing them with an abundance of love. With unwavering patience, it won’t be long before you witness a garden that truly reflects your desires, your very own paradise.

In my personal journey, nurturing my inner garden encompasses a range of practices. These include daily prayer and meditation, the conscious effort to replace old habits with new and empowering ones, the release of pent-up emotions, forgiveness processes, the use of positive language, thoughts, and actions, being of service to others, and the commitment to daily maintenance.

I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where you can strive for the creation of your own personal paradise. Imagine a life filled with joy, abundance, and fulfillment. By embracing your true potential and channeling your divine qualities, you can manifest heaven on earth.

By nurturing and nourishing the garden of our lives with the divine qualities bestowed upon us by God, we unlock the astonishing power of transformation. I invite you to strive for the creation of your own personal paradise, so that collectively, we can manifest heaven on earth.

In my transformative coaching program “12 Steps to Mastery”, one of the weekly assignments that I give my clients, is to read 1 chapter per week and write down a brief summary of the book “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay. Everyone loves this book because it offers very clear and wise advice about all aspects of life. I’d like to take a group of principles that Louse Hay includes at the beginning of her book, and expand according to my understanding. These are statements:
We are each responsible for all of our experiences.
Life is a journey of continuous learning, and as we wholeheartedly embrace this concept, we can seize each lesson with unwavering faith and determination.

Every thought we think is creating our future. The point of power is always in the present moment.
As we wholeheartedly embrace the notion that our thoughts have the power to shape our reality, it is imperative that we stay fully present in the present moment and maintain a keen awareness of what we are manifesting. It is within this realm that our genuine strength resides – in the ability to bring our visions to life and shape our reality.

Everyone suffers from self-hatred and guilt.
There is always a part of our lives that we tend to overlook or dismiss. This serves as an opportunity for transformation. Instead of rejecting ourselves, it is essential to examine the areas that require nurturing and care, and be ready to take necessary steps towards change. Remember, true transformation originates from within.
The bottom line for everyone is, “I’m not good enough.”
I am constantly amazed by this phenomenon, which I have witnessed countless times in my coaching sessions. It’s hard to fathom, but I myself struggled with this very obstacle years ago. This concept is an open invitation for us to devote time to celebrating and recognizing the incredible qualities and skills we possess, as well as the remarkable achievements we have accomplished throughout our lives.

It’s only a thought, and a thought can be changed.
This is a very important reminder that if we have accepted negative thoughts about ourselves, we can always change them and replace them with positive, uplifting thoughts.

We create every so-called illness in our body.
By allowing negative thoughts to occupy our minds, they gradually infiltrate our entire being, causing various issues within our internal cells. This emphasizes the crucial need to remain vigilant and prioritize focusing on positive thoughts.

Resentment, criticism, and guilt are the most damaging patterns.
Engaging in resentment brings no positive outcomes as it only inflicts harm upon our physical well-being, emotional state, and overall life.
Louise Hay says: “Releasing resentment will dissolve even cancer”, and “We must release the past and forgive everyone.”

We must be willing to begin to learn to love ourselves.
This is the most important attitude that we must cultivate: Love and accept ourselves. Our choice in this matter has the power to shape our existence, either leading to a life filled with hardships or a life filled with happiness. When we truly learn to embrace self-love, we unlock the ability to love and accept others unconditionally.
Louise Hay says: “Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the keys to positive changes”, and “When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.”

I encourage you to embrace the opportunity to implement at least one of these principles from Louise Hay. The path to self-love and self-acceptance demands your ongoing dedication until you unite harmoniously with the divine.

Our early experiences shape our perception of ourselves and lay the groundwork for our future. When treated with love, respect, and dignity, we are given a strong foundation to thrive. Unfortunately, many of us grow up with parents or adults who did not possess a positive self-image, which can hinder our own self-esteem. Constantly hearing negative comments, criticism, or even experiencing verbal or physical abuse can prevent us from developing a strong sense of self from a young age.

If we lack a positive self-image from childhood, it is likely that this will carry into adulthood. I personally experienced this struggle. However, the good news is that we have the power to transform our lives and break free from false perceptions of ourselves. Through the guidance of mentors, coaches, books, and self-development programs, I have dedicated years to shedding any limitations that hindered my true identity as a child of God.

It is ironic that God created us in His image and likeness, yet over time, we have distorted this image by accepting limiting beliefs and falling into a trance-like state where we forget our divine essence. As a human race, it is time for us to take responsibility and rediscover our oneness with God. By recognizing our worth and embracing our divine essence, we can overcome the negative impacts of our past and create a future filled with self-love, empowerment, and fulfillment.

I’d like to share some tips that have helped me develop a healthy self-esteem:

1. Get expert guidance and support. Connect with a professional coach who can steer you towards success and hold you accountable for your growth. As my mentor Les Brown once said, “When you’re in the picture, you can’t see the frame.” Let someone help you see beyond your own limitations.
   
2. Nurture and strengthen your connection with God. The ultimate objective is to fully embrace your identity as a cherished child of God. Through the practice of meditation and prayer, you will gain clarity and receive divine guidance to embrace your true essence, shedding the distorted self-image you once held.
   
3. Commit to treating everyone and yourself with respect. Cultivating an attitude of respect towards oneself and others contributes to fostering a healthy self-esteem and nurturing harmonious relationships. Embrace kindness and compassion in your interactions with everyone you encounter. Live by the golden rule each day: “Treat others as you would want to be treated.”
   
4. Embrace the power of personal accountability. Too often, we point fingers at others for the circumstances in our lives, failing to recognize that these moments can serve as valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. By approaching each experience with a winning mindset rather than playing the victim, we open ourselves up to the transformative gifts that life has in store for us. Embrace this mindset and watch as life unfolds its wonders before you.
   
5. Strive to be the best version of yourself every day. Embrace each new day with enthusiasm and make a conscious decision to make it a victorious one. By putting your attention and effort into becoming your best self, you can make each day a step towards greatness.

I encourage you to embrace the opportunity to implement at least one of the tips I have shared above. The path to self-love and self-acceptance demands your ongoing dedication until you unite harmoniously with the divine.

Everyone wants to be victorious in every area of their lives. However, sometimes success seems unreachable and we end up getting discouraged, disappointed, blaming others, feeling depressed and even upset. This is when we have to realize that to win in life, we need to have a victory mindset.

To be able to be victorious in life, first you have to be willing to have a positive attitude, expect the best, have faith, focus on your goal, be determined and disciplined. You can embrace each one of these behaviors by being willing and determined to make changes in your life, one day at a time.

For years, I felt like a victim, totally convinced that anything that did not go well in my life was the fault of other people or situations. I had a self-pity mentality, feeling sorry for myself and not willing to do anything about it. I was focusing on blaming others. I really believed that it was the responsibility of others to make me happy. My erroneous mindset brought a lot of suffering into my life. Until one day, when the suffering was unbearable, I finally had the humbleness to seek help. This was the most important decision of my life. I started to understand that I was attracting everything into my life by the way I was thinking. My thinking needed correction and fortunately many programs and mentors helped me (I was now open and receptive) to shift my thinking and I finally understood that the secret to a victorious life was in my mind.

This is how Buddha expressed it: “The mind is everything.” And Ralph Waldo Emerson: “You become what you think about all day long”.

The good news is that with the help of mentors and the steady study of success principles, I was able to transform my life in a very positive way and I have been enjoying the new experiences that I am creating now every day. Also, for years I have been sharing with others throughout my coaching and classes what I have learned and how they can apply truth principles into their own lives. I continuously witness miracles.

To have a victorious mentality, you must be willing to observe yourself and be determined to make changes in the areas that might be creating blocks in your life, like victim mentality, blaming, feeling guilty, procrastinating, criticizing others or yourself. Also, you must be willing to invest in yourself with self-development programs and seek the help of a coach, who can guide you on how to replace these behaviors with self-confidence, focus, determination, a positive attitude, taking responsibility, in summary, a victorious mentality.

Be willing to ask yourself with honesty: What kind of live am I creating with my thoughts right now? And if your thoughts are negative, forgive yourself and right away shift your mind to a victorious mindset. This is how you will be creating a life that you will enjoy.

The process of making decisions could be simple and easy. However, when important moments that require decisive action come around, it can be difficult to make the right decision without a process to do so.

I recently had to make an important decision and I was not sure on how to proceed. Then in a split second I realized that the power of prayer was available to me and then right there and then, I opened my heart to God and asked Him to help me. I immediately felt at peace in knowing that I could place my faith in God and allow His guidance to give me the answers that I was seeking. I continued to have faith and a couple of days later I received a clear answer and guidance as to how to proceed. Not only I gained clarity with the answer, also, once I took action, it propelled a series of events, all for a final perfect outcome. I thought to myself, only God is able to arrange everything in such a perfect way.

Let’s explore how to make better decisions and how to cultivate the habits that will help simplify the process.

1. Seek divine guidance: Before you do anything, the little decisions as well as the big ones, put the effort into having an ongoing conversation with God. Pray to God. A prayer from your heart, in your own words, is a wonderful way to open your heart and mind to receive answers, gain clarity and be guided to the proper action.

1. Remain calm: This step is crucial because you will be allowing for the answers to come to you instead of blocking them with fears or worries.
    
2. Consult someone who can help you: seeking the help of a professional can be very helpful because they can point out something that perhaps you may not have considered and guide you in the right direction.

1. Be Patient: Keep up your faith knowing that the answers will come in God’s time.
    
2. Take action: Once you receive your answer be willing to take action. You might ask, how do I know that it is the right answer. One way to know is making sure that you are acting from your heart center.
    
3. Use the power of meditation to sharpen your intuition: Every day we’re confronted with difficult situations for which we need to have clarity. Fortunately, there is a way to know, and it is through using our intuition. More than just a “feeling” or a guess, true intuition provides clear insight at the times we need it most.

I invite you to remember that you do not have to travel your journey on earth alone. You have a Higher Power who wants to guide and support you in every area of your life. Open up your heart and mind to Him. Practice feeling His Presence and conversing with Him throughout the day and asking for His advice and guidance. The more you do it, the more it becomes a natural way of living, and most importantly, you will realize that He is interested in even the most minuscule aspect of your life.

Taking time to slow down from our daily activities is crucial to our health and well-being. Sometimes the challenge is that we are so used to the constant activity that we tell ourselves that our mind is incapable of resting. At other times, we convince ourselves that we do not have any time to relax and unplug.

There are so many studies that tell us how important it is to take time to allow our minds to rest. When we do it, we are able  to relax, to calm down and to restore our energy. It is an act of self-care to take time to allow our minds to rest. It is as important as eating and resting at night.

I’d like to share a few practices that have helped me to relax my mind and body:

1. Meditate: Research shows meditation is one of the most effective ways to relax your mind and body. It is important to find a way to develop a daily practice, even if it is just for 10 or 15 minutes.
   
   
2. Practice Measured Breathing: Practicing relaxed breathing is a powerful way to relax you mind. You can use the “Measured Breathing Technique” of inhaling a certain count, holding the same count, and then exhaling for the same count. For example, you can do it for 6 counts, holding your breath for 6 counts and then release it for 6 counts. Or you can do it for more or less counts depending on your lung capacity.
   
   
3. Journal your thoughts: Writing down what you’re thinking and feeling is an excellent way to calm your mind. You can think of putting your thoughts on paper as a mental cleanse.
   
   
4. Exercise: The fastest way to get out of your head is to get into your body, whether going for a run or a walk around the neighborhood. Movement can change the way you feel.
   
   
5. Connect with Nature: There are numerous benefits of spending time and grounding yourself in nature. It has a calming effect in your mind and body. You can take short walks or longer walks as you time allows it. Being in and around nature often makes us think more clearly and feel more relaxed and refreshed.

There are so many other ways to relax your mind like yoga, gardening, praying, listening to music, finding ways to express your creativity and reducing activities that create stress. The secret is to be aware that we do have plenty of powerful tools and make the commitment to use them. I invite you to be willing to give these ideas a chance to transform your life.
