Shoulds, Oughts and Comfort Zones

Do you spend time doing things you think you should do?  Do they stay in your mind, if you don't do them?

I have come to the conclusion that there is a difference between should and ought.  For me something I should do is a simple thing, I should get some exercise, I should eat well, I should do my...

Time in a bottle

I was thinking today about what I would like to write about and I came across this question...

Am I any closer to my dreams than I was last year?  August or September always feels like the new year to me.  It is the start of new school or college years and a great time after the summer to set yours...

Busy or purposeful?

It seems sometimes that every one is busy, everyone is rushing and ticking more things off their lists.  I can certainly be accused of that.  I get caught up in the daily tasks and forget what is important in life.

Family and friends are one of the most valued parts of my life.  Sometimes I feel I ...

What lies in your energy field?

If you tell the truth it becomes part of your past...if you tell a lie it becomes part of your future...

Telling the truth is not always easy, sometimes we fall into the trap of not wanting to hurt someones feelings.  Little lies come and go but bigger ones need to be kept track of.  They stay in o...

Where do you get your sunshine?

Sunshine is a source of life.  People seem to be in a better humour when there is sun, particularly in Ireland where we never know, from minute to minute if it will be sunny or not!

Summer in Dublin, summer anywhere is a time of growth, thinking about life and enjoying the warmth.  There is such he...

Gratitude for the thread that holds us together

I really believe, life works out for the best.  There are so many times in my past where I thought something went wrong, only to find out later, it worked out exactly as I needed it to. I have learned so many things in my life, decided they were pointless and years later, realised that the knowledge...

Who is stealing your energy?

We are all 100% responsible for our lives, our consequences come whether we like them or not.  This includes letting other people steal our joy and our energy.  It is a choice.

It has been proven in science that we are all energetically connected so it is worth paying attention to the energy you ar...

What do you believe about yourself?

If you believe it, then it becomes true for you.  Your subconscious likes to be right so it filters out anything that might cause you to think that your deep seated beliefs could be wrong.  This is actually a great system as otherwise we would not be able to function.  Imagine if when you got out of...

Empowerment baby steps!

The definition of empowerment is having the knowledge, confidence, means, or ability to do things or make decisions for oneself.  Sometimes that means taking baby steps and sometimes we need to take giant, scary leaps of faith. It involves both trusting yourself and knowing who you are.

Positive thinking is bad!

Positive thinking is good for us, so they tell us.  I am not sure that this is true.  If we are saying affirmations that feel false to us then they are not resonating with our energy and may be making us feel worse.  If I am feeling down and telling myself I feel amazing, then I will probably end up...

Focusing on Self Love can be a nuisance!

I love to make lists and to know what I am doing for my day, but even more important is who am I being for the day?  When I am my true self, I feel worthy of love...from me!  Self love is so important.  I find that to be a bit of a nuisance...I would love to think that I could just keep doing things...

Would you like some extra energy for your day?

Your energy level affects everything in your life.  We have all experienced this.  If your energy level is high, life feels easy and seems great and we respond well to challenges.

If, on the other hand, your energy level is low, life can be a drag.  Anything that happens is more like to affect you ...
