Life's Journey

I've noticed more and more positive changes in my life, when I decided to do a personal house cleaning. I looked at personal relationships and those include family members. I decided if by a certain time line and it was about two years out. If those people hadn't grown and wanted to remain petty. I was cutting those people out of my life.

I was very direct with one of my aunts and told her she could either be part of my life or not? She was a little shocked, but she sort of understood where I was coming from. I wasn't going to be dragged down by anyone and that included my family members. I have never regretted that decision. I have moved forward in my personal life and my job relationships.

There have been big shifts in my work environment, I no longer meet people that are out to bully other people. The Universe will give you tests, where there might be a job that you need but the trade off would be working with a co-worker who is a bully. I have worked in such terrible environments in the past. I made a decision long ago that I would not work in a department or a company like that. These type of environments are very bad for your health.

I have noticed that when I stood my ground. The next work opportunity was very different and more positive. I enjoyed everyone that I worked with. My boss was very nice and relaxed. I've had some wonderful managers to work for. The best one's for me were more relaxed and laid back. I've also brought more positive things into my life that replaced the negative things. When you shift one thing, other things start to follow.

I started to have less drama in my life. I actually love my life, because it's on my terms. That doesn't mean that everything is always going to be lovely.  When things are starting to go to shit, know that there is a house cleaning underway. You will start to see more good things coming in when the things that you need to get rid of are removed. The bigger the shift, the bigger the gifts!

So when your life is really turned upside down then know that the gifts are coming and they will be huge. I have also noticed that in all of my environments that I meet people that need my gifts. I might know something that will help them heal. Sometimes they need to see a doctor but don't know it. Sometimes they need to make diet changes. I 've been in a lot of environments where a co-worker is going to have a heart attack or has cancer. I might suggest that they see a doctor to avoid a condition if its avoidable.

Even in the times when I feel like I'm not giving readings or healings. I am doing pro-bono work in some of my day jobs when my business is having its down times.

Are You Happy or Stressed Out?

If your continually having dreams of dread before your have to return to work the next day? Sunday night is usually the most telling. It's that sense of dread that slowly starts to build up, then by Sunday night you could almost cut it with a knife. It might be time to take stock of what makes you happy and what's stressing your out?

Is it the work itself? Your co-workers? The environment? Start to make some changes in your life. Once you've made those changes. See how things feel? Are you happier or still stressed out. By slowly pin pointing what is making your happy and what is not. You will be taking steps to have more control of your own life.

Pay attention to what is relaxing and enjoyable to you. Not everyone likes to hangout with people. Does this make you anti-social? No it just means that those types of activities are not relaxing to you. Do certain people stress you out and other people don't. It might be time to find out who your tribe is! Some people are extroverts (they get energy by being around people). Introverts get exhausted being around people all the time. Some people are in the middle and need some down time and some time being around crowds.

Are you a workaholic and need to start  taking scheduled relaxation time, so you can have more work life balance in your life. Sometimes we get so used to being a hamster on the wheel that we don't know what it actually feels like to relax.

By turning off the news and cell phones, it is a step to reclaiming your personal time. Caller ID is the best source for screening your calls. It's always a good thing to stop answering your phone and start to learn to tune out time wasters. Some are people, telemarketers. Boundaries are a good thing to establish, it is a good way to re stake your claim to your personal time. You never need to apologize for being protective of your down time.
